Thank you. Classless and disrespectful. As much as I want McLellan gone, I'd never stoop that low.

Just saying, the fanbase should be able to show that they want the coach (And GM) fired. And if you pay the amount of money it takes to go to HP, you can do that (without using profanity).

If you have other ways to make the team/org/etc aware that the fanbase is angry and want him gone, I'm all ears.

(Of course, maybe the real problem is that most of the fanbase is not angry, because they believe Randy Hahn when he says that every opposing goalie is just robbing the Sharks EVERY game)

So are there any other bromances around the league between two talented scorers? Reunite them like Richards and Carter, get a new coach, sneak in as the #8 seed and we'll cruise our way to a cup.

If nothing else, it's gotta be the burns situation that's keeping tmac from any heat. DW probably thinks it's unfair to judge tmac by what happens down such a major player. And I can't say he's not right.

So Brent Burns is the reason that we have no scoring from anybody on the team (forwards or defense or anybody)? T-MAC isn't fired because of some irrational fear that he'll blow up the team? It's only because of Burns?

Again,

If you want to show your disapproval, don't buy tickets. I'm sure the management couldn't care less what you're chanting. Your money is still going to them.

The teams are so tight that I doubt many sellers at the deadline..and it will be depth players. No young talent..no disgruntled scorers. Its a ****ed year to hit a slide like this.

Something has to give sooner or later..either they start scoring or the D and goal tending takes a ****. No trade will fix this team.

Part of the problem is hanging on to the puck too long at the blue line. Near the end of regulation there, I saw Marleau at the very tail end of his shift camping in front of the net and Thornton is just dangling the puck while skating from the half-boards up to the blue line and eventually out when there was a good few moments for him to at least take a shot and he just doesn't. Part of the problem with them not scoring is that hesitation at the blue line. You're not doing your teammates any favors by hanging on to the puck while he's taking punishment in front of the net.

It's the one thing I despise about Boyle. He knows better than to do that but sometimes he hesitates too. It is human nature sometimes. However, that is a major sticking point to them putting goals on the board is that puck play at the blue line.

Then why do you get so worked up when I call for chants? What does it matter if management doesn't care?? I'll give them my money and do my chants and wear a SACK T-MAC shirt with points about why he needs to be gone on the back. They still get my money, so why does it matter? And if others want to join in and still give money to management, who cares?

So are we last year's LA? Do we sack T-Mac, trade Clowe, trade Murray, get Ovi and Semin (**** the salary cap), let Burns get healthy for the playoffs, ride Niemi to a Smythe and Cup?

Because it's classless?

But why does it matter to you? Why do you care? Why are you even engaging me on this? Like you say, they get the last laugh with the almighty dollar.

Fans are allowed to be angry, and go to the game angry, and express displeasure. And call for a coach's or GM's head (Firing I mean).

What makes you think that...one...they don't listen to their fan base or aren't aware of it. Two...that it would be a wise decision to actually listen to their fan base?
