I could see him going there. I’m still doing some research but I’d have him in around that range.Yeah, apparently the Flyers GM was in the barn. Flyers pick 7

I don't think it's time to write the obituary yet. Let's remember that in round 2 the ICE got pumped hard by Moose Jaw in game 3, even worse than last night, to go down 2-1. There was a pretty nervous feeling at the time, but the ICE got it together and played a much more composed and disciplined series from there on out, and took the series.
It's likely that the ICE have learned from their mistakes, going hard with the man on man approach and leaving attackers wide open isn't going to work against a team like Seattle. There is definitely time to right the ship, it's only game 4. Win tonight and it becomes a best of 3 series. It ain't over... let's go, boys.
Absolutely, outside of that 3 goal fury in the 1st, the game was pretty even and back and forth the rest of the way.
Might sound harsh, and they would never do it after a finals appearance, but if the ICE don’t come back to make this a series I would strongly consider removing Cockell as GM. He bungled their window by making the same mistake two years in a row and it was pretty clear this was gonna happen.
Of course, he’s the president, so he might have to fire himself
I know it’s not the NHL where it’s easy to find a replacement but it’s just frustrating because a few of us were warning this would happen months ago while Seattle loaded up (like Edmonton last year) and we just p***yfooted around. The window is gone. No excuses.
They were still the top team in the league last year and had some good pieces that weren’t gonna be coming back that I think they should’ve done more to support last year. When they didn’t do much, they should’ve gone all in this year.I think they figured last year that Edmonton was a year older and likely better even with some additions, so they'd focus on this year. Inexplicably they didn't do much to help their chances, at least compared to the other contenders in the league. Seattle got some players via trade (or the Jets assigning them there), Kamloops went in for Zelweger.
I felt the 2nd period for the ice was the best period that I had seen from them. How relentless the ice attack in that period was honestly kind of scary for me to watch as a birds fan.
Hauser made some amazing stops as well, it was an intense game and I’m still a little stressed out. Here is hoping to a good game on Friday
What are... 6 teams that have never been in my kitchen, Alex?2009: Moose vs. Bears
2018: Jets vs. Predators
2022: Ice vs. Oil Kings
Can you guess what all of these have in common?
(yes, I've mentioned this here before)
I wouldn’t be opposed to using a late pick on Milic honestly (by the Jets). I know he’s a double-overage goalie and the things I’ve read are he’s not likely to do much in the NHL (he’s already peaked, apparently) but still his accolades and stats are difficult to overlook.The TBirds were strong, but Milic is an absolute difference maker. Hauser is a great goalie but as we have seen in the MJ series and now, he is prone to melting down. When the team goes through one of its puck handling breakdowns, he doesn't consistently bail the team out. Milic usually does. He is something else.
