It’s a good filter for us IMO. If players don’t want to deal with it, it’s likely because they can’t. Some will cower, others see the opportunity to do something special here. I want players with the latter mindset.Players don't wanna sign here because fans and media are meanies

I do what I always do when I don't know anything...I make stuff up to get a reaction, I spin around 8 times and hit send.
100%. Nobody has ever suggest that every player would be chased away from signing here by it, but it’s without question a factor with others
He’s not in decline. He was never good. Big difference.

Plus those first unit pk FO’s are always against the very best of the best. Not an easy job.

This is a known fact already. It hasn't changed for years. The fans and media will always be on you. If we lose, we'll push you off a cliff, if we win we'll name schools after you. Players get the same treatment as the coach and the gm.Players don't wanna sign here because fans and media are meanies

I like this guy a lot already. More killers who want to be the best and embrace the chaos, not dudes who just want money or clout but cower when the lights get too bright.Players don't wanna sign here because fans and media are meanies

Some say they are looked upon as Gods and they are 1 and 8 in the playoffs. Go figure.

Some gods get paid millions of dollars to preform not just in the regular season but also the playoff. If they haven't performed for years on end, don't expect me to light a candle for them.

The guy misspoke, and the point he was making is both true, and easy enough for anyone with two brain cells to rub together to figure it out.
He plays for your team. Get behind him. Our season highly depends on him.

100% behind STolARZ. I was one of the first on the sign Stolarz train. I was actually agreeing with him but I was responding to the post not the interview.

I've been a fan of Sokolov ever since he was at our prospect camp years ago.

Still hasn't made a trade in the off-season of significance. Tanev was fairly minor to gain his rights early.
He's only traded 2 contracted players out of Toronto since taking over -- Dmitry Ovchinnikov and Max Ellis (he was a pending free agent).

Maybe he is overly cautious. He's trade record is not great.... Thachuk, Bennet. Calgary played a big role in Florida winning the cup
