Management POHO Staios/GM D̶o̶r̶i̶o̶n̶/Front Office Thread - Part X [Mod Warning in post 1)

[Do Make Say Think]

On of the replies to the Martian tweet is "@GeorgesLaraque was just saying on the radio that something huge is happening and its not a trade or a signing…"

Laraque isn't a complete nobody obviously but he hasn't proven to be all that reliable either.

Staois can be interim GM and then you have Darche come in during the offseason. Finding a coach won't be hard I suspect there is already a couple of guys that Andlauer has spoken too

Will the move happen now? Maybe not but he definitely has a plan B. The body language in the press box is pretty telling. Fans chanting we want Pinto and fire DJ are very telling too

Judging DJ on two games?

View attachment 757728

What is this hold DJ and Dorion have on some posters around here?

So when they were 3-1 he was fine. They lose 2 games and it's time to fire him. Maybe you guys are taking crazy pills because only someone crazy could think that makes any f***ing sense.

Noteworthy that he was a teammate of the POHO from 01-05.

He broke Habs news alot

Ok that definitely makes me pay more attention. Good point.

Who said he was fine when it was 3-1?

We still were making the same defensive mistakes

You’re acting like this is DJ’s first season with the team. It’s his fifth.

The last two games, or the whole season for that matter, aren’t the only sample we have to judge him with.

I don't pay as much attention to everything as I used to but, if memory serves, he's also made a lot of calls that simply never came to pass.

I just wouldn't consider him all that reliable but maybe he's been better recently?

Also f*** the Scabs

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Lalimes Martian seems to think a lot is brewing. He always kind of thinks that thi

 

[ToasterStutzle]

Keep Pierre, that's fine. He has done ok and has improved steadily. 7/10 is what I would rate him.

DJ tho, has seen enough time. He is a A+ motivator but a D- schematics coach. We need a coach who can do both well.

I was NOT fine after the Philly game. We played like shit

You're talking to people who didn't want him brought back in the first place.

Pierre has improved?

Have you seen the cap mess we are in?

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Buckle up

 

[Larionov]

Biggest issue right now is the fact that so few teams have cap space. Everyone talks about dumping Kubalik for a pick - are you kidding me? Right now we would have to attach a pick, and a good one, to get someone to take him. Even the very few teams with cap space to give don't want to commit themselves right now because a better cap dump offer may be coming down the road. We are absolutely hooped when it comes to the Pinto situation - if he ends up in Europe for the season I will not be shocked at all.

And yes, I want Dorion gone yesterday. DJ also, but I want the architect of this mess run out the door like yesterday. He mismanaged his roster and his cap through pure incompetence. It's obvious that he is not part of the future under Andlauer and Staios - as others have said, just rip the bandage off now and get it done...

It wasn't even made clear if he was talking about Pinto, the Senators , some other team or the League. So, grain of salt and all that.

Del Zotto with an elbow from the top rope, saying that is was par for the course from the team with regards to the situation with Forsberg not knowing he was pulled.

Has since deleted it on McKenna’s tweet, but I’m sure there’s evidence of it somewhere.

Buckle up

hello

I'd argue that motivation is the exact issue with DJ right now.

Wait wait wait wait...

That's your post, right?

So, in the other thread you argue with me that underlying stats and quality of play are not as important as position in the standings. In this thread, the standings are "historically pretty important" but when the team was 3-1 you were concerned about the way they played in a game they won. So one moment it's "2 points are all that matter" and the next it's not.

See, this is the problem with engaging with some of you. I hold the same consistent position, whether you agree with my opinion or not, while you waffle back and forth to suit the moment.

MDZ is a bum tho

I’m fn buckled. We’re all buckled. Somebody just do something already. I’m ready for it! Hit me as hard as you can square in the nuts 10 times. Just get it over with!

Maybe he can now be fired for insubordination

Fair enough. And the funny part with these arguments is that I actually don't care whether DJ stays or goes. But I can't stand watching these logically inconsistent arguments get made.
