  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Yup, they need to address that, especially in the bottom-6.
Hopefully the new people will do that if we miss the playoffs.

At least they would have no loyalty to all these shitty old f***s that have thrown a rod and are signed for 1-2 more years.
 
What a shame. This team a few years ago looked prime to be a contender year in and year out. Somewhere along the way with some guys not panning out, some stagnating, some which helped play a role in the team's identity being moved away, things changed.

That's what happens when you have an overeactionary and mediocre GM as a whole running the show
 
Not being able to draft any worthwhile offensive players on ELC's and having to rely on Lou-esque 2 way players from Utica is why this team's depth is trash and why they cratered on any major injury
Excuse me sir

Are you saying the GM or management did something wrong here?

As much as we all might have our thoughts about Fitz, theres no way he gets let go, even if they dont make the playoffs. They re just gonna blame it on injuries and keep him on board regardless.

I think they can still get there, the core is still pretty young and they have solid pieces coming along soon. But yeah, imo the top end is solid, but they don't have enough talent surrounding that top talent.

Fix the bottom-6 and I'm pretty convinced we're in 2nd in the division right now. They just don't get production from the bottom of the lineup at all.

It was DESTROYED by this shitty, BUM general manager that everybody has such a f***in hard on over.

Even the people in the hockey world.

Also the people at USA Hockey, who don't know a f***in god damn thing.

It CAN be fixed, but don't give him another chance at it.
 
This is correct. I’m pretty sure only a handful of other teams have a worse record in the new year.
I think I seen something about two weeks ago where we were 29th in the league since Christmas . No idea how we go from a top 3 team / cup contender at Christmas , to this shitbag team since then. If we miss the playoffs , Fitz has to go. I wish I lived in NJ so I could go to the final home game and chant “ Fire Fitz” .

Why should ANYONE have faith in Fitz fixing the bottom 6?

Sadly, you're right.

The moment Jack, Hamilton, and Siegs were out for the season, Fitz got a built-in excuse for whatever happens now.

I have constantly had to google to find out what the fk AINEC stands for.

Mainly 'cause i keep forgetting what it stands for.

Damn-fangled kids and their "hip" slang terms.... :wally:
I actually learned from this forum about 12 years ago or so. It's not a prominent acronym anymore, but I've continued to use it.

Ain't even close.

That's what it stands for.

Meh, Haula cratering after 2 straight 0.5 PPG seasons, same with Lazar, and Mercer not progressing are things that are hard to predict. At some point we have to be realistic about what is possible to change or should be changed based on the evidence we have.

I'm still willing to give him a year. The top elements are there, the surrounding group needs to be improved.
You severely overrate the supposed core of the team. Whatever
 
f*** off Allen you stupid :eek::eek::eek::eek:. No saves you make right now are going to help you. Markstrom going back in on Monday. He used to play for that team you know - Sheldon Keefe

Maybe he can go on his podcast and media tour for the third year in a row and speak for an hour, getting aroused over the way his voice sounds, while explaining the next course of action and blaming injuries again and so arrogantly stating they're not an excuse.
