As long as shithead Marchand or Gooncic doesn't score, then I'm satisfied.

Dat Kreider! This kid finally gets it.
Eh I don't think management is meddling so much as they just didn't want Burke being the head of this team. They would have let go of Nonis and everyone else if they weren't happy.
I truly believe since Burke came in they've been hands off the entire time unlike the JFJ years.
Also I like to think Leiweke was trying to take back the phrase but obviously failed terribly.
edit: Also screw you Quick, where were you to back me up in that first year when everyone started to turn on Kessel? I was all alone supporting him!

I don't like it cause he was doing a decent job considering what he had to work with and just cause they didn't like him, they got rid of him.

Interesting take on the Downie trade, some shit in there that I didn't know about. Mainly the fact that he and Landy got into a yelling match during training camp.

Kreider, man. So good. This kid finally looks legit.
Shots 38-18 after 2. Hank has looked great against the little he's been tested with.
Rangers were pretty much just fucking around with them by the end of the period, which was resulting in a bunch of odd man rushes the other way.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was some locker room friction that we'll probably never know about. Downie has a way, and this trade just doesn't smell right.

Give Matty P and Bruce back.
Yeah, I mean, wow. What acquisitions. Love them both.
I even forgot what bag of pucks we gave you guys for Perreault.

I kind of wish we had a guy like Tortorella, if nothing else for his brutal honesty but... Well, don't get me wrong, I like Claude Noel, and would be sad to see him go for the most part if or when it happens, but he's on a limited time clock here, methinks... I also have no idea who would even replace him... Charlie Huddy at least would look like a scary enough SOB on the bench... lol I've heard rumours that Nashville may be looking at firing their coach... Maybe he'd be a good candidate if worst comes to worst...
I guess I just figured that with the freeing of guys like Antropov, Hainsey, Burmistrov, Wellwood and the like, the Jets would be a better team overall with the addition of Frolik to help out on the PK and Setoguchi to bolster with some offence. Trouba (When he returns) has been outstanding and Scheifele should be left with Kane and Setoguchi on the 2nd line to gel with them further. Instead, Noel has been scrubbing along and been looking for new line combos. I want us to get solid lines. I think we have them. Just leave them as be and worry about other issues, like Bogosian tripping over himself into the net or something.
Our PP is a whopping 11.3% or around? That's just gross.
Ah well, nothing to do except hope for better results this month. I knew this team was nothing spectacular when we got it (And truth be told, I used to confuse them with Nashville all the time.) but no matter. It's still better than none, and we have made it our own. We can only go up for the most part. I'll still always be grateful for having NHL hockey back, no matter the current product. I'm going to my 4th game on Monday already this year, and at the very least, it's an excuse to have beers galore with friends.
I only had about 6 kids come to my home tonight for Halloween... pretty quiet.

Not saying I agreed with it, but it was obvious they decided they didn't like how he went about doing things so they canned him. It's unfortunately within their right to do that but really if that's the only "meddling" they'll be doing I'll take it.
Most importantly they kept together the management team Burke put together and we're still benefiting from it.

Some AHL scrub and a fourth rounder I think.

If it's not part of a larger deal (like I'm still blindly hoping for), there was clearly some stink surrounding Downie in the organization. He never really sat well with me even when he was producing, but when he's producing he's easier to deal with I guess. I'm glad we at least traded him to the east, I'd hate for him to be in the west after we traded him. No thanks.

We've done favors for the Ducks and Predators lately. I can't wait for our next move.
Turned on the TV at that exact point!

Lapierre wears the Blue Note for 5 games and that makes the Blues dirty? What logic. Nevermind the fact that he's been the same way his entire career. Fuck Lapierre. I hated him when he played against us and I don't like the way he's played for us this year.
Backes took offense to an uncalled penalty against Petro that could have prevented the GWG. It's not like he pulled a fucking Bertuzzi on a Sedin or something.

Hey guys did you know if you don't kill penalties and don't score on the power play you might lose a game!!!!!!
Don't forget about dumping the puck and not going after it!
Don't forget about taking bad penalties with three minutes left and a lead.
Edit: beaten to the "Don't forget about..." punch. :shakesfist

Couldn't lose that one. Still can't score though. Or Ryan Miller is god like again. Probably a combination of both.

I've not forgotten these things dear friends!!!!
I also haven't forgotten that time where Giggy shut out the Bruins at TD Gahden and made Jack Edwards yell naughty words on live television!!!!!!!!
And Lovejoy and Fowler seem a widdle lost...
Gotta make sure Darcy gets full value in that trade.
This team has worst record on lockdown.

Nobody injured, we came out with a point and Marchand McRatface didn't score.
Things could've been way worse than that.
Bonino and Perry had the worst attempts ever. We need Silfverberg back with his lasers immediately.
And seriously, how fucking terrible does our PP need to be before someone steps in and says HEY MAYBE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE COACHING OF IT? All we needed to do was convert ONE of those chances.
