Ska vs Dinamo Minsk October 3 12 10 PM EST

  • 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

Michkov being a « jerk » was the best thing he’s ever done for himself. I hope that Demidov does the same.

The narrative of Michkov being a jerk has nothing to do with it. I said a million times Rotenberg won't be allowed to screw up development. Not gonna happen.

Someone mentioned Buchelnikov earlier......same situation. Same goes for Khusnutdinov, Michkov.


But whatever, I can't prevent yall from going into hysterics.

lol at Hab fans. "OMG, the sky is falling!!!":laugh::laugh:

If Demidov's minutes continue dwindle he'll be traded. Rotenberg won't be allowed to screw up his development. It's similar to why Michkov was sent to Sochi instead of being buried on St. Pete.

Any sense as to why a coach would do this to a kid???
Just makes no sense....

Ah Grant. I have a soft spot for this guy. He's a crusty old dude like me and since he predicted the Slaf draft and how all that went down he's been a regular on Marinaro's podcast. He has a thin skin though and used to post on HFBOARDS a long time ago till someone pissed him off and he stopped posting here. 😂

Pretty sure that was me, we used to get into it pretty good. Soyboy took his toys and went home. Remember when Bob Mackenzie posted here for a bit, we really made him mad :(

Rotenberg treats all youngsters like this. Ive said it before, he values principals over common sense.
Trying try to get inside the head of that buffoon will only make yourself go crazy.

Yeah, I don’t buy that Rottenberg is just being old school, negligent or incompetent anymore. Sorry.🤷‍♂️

Yeah he's gotten more comfortable talking in front of a camera and his takes on players are better than Simon Boisvert who is a frikken idiot IMO.

He's not even one tenth as bad as some of the posters here try to represent him as. Nobody bats 1.000 in prospect projection, he has all his takes published and out there so people can tee off on his misses but so what, you can do that for anybody.

Could you imagine posters here had a published record of their worst takes? You would instantly know that the vast majority of opinion here is utterly worthless.

The thought that we traded Grant and Bob MacKenzie on these boards for some of these loudmouth posters is the epitome of this place. Like damn son.

The Roma Rotenberg creed: "This is our game plan! If the game plan doesn't work, we'll keep doing it until it does. And if we lose I'll blame it on something else."

I don't think that creed is limited to Rotenberg.

I was arguing with him that William Trudeau was not an anglophone. He was adamant someone named William had to be at least half-anglophone. He asked Timmins in the post-draft interview if Trudeau was anglophone and Timmins was basically "lol, no".

Fun memory.

Didn't watch the 3rd. I guess he didn't get a shift? His TOI was at 4:07 already at the end of the 2nd
