Team Losing Because Of Coaching Decisions

Impossible to say they will never have the fan support. It takes time to build up a fanbase. Look at Tampa Bay, LA, San Jose, Nashville. Put a good team on the ice and the fans will come. In Canada you have three or more generations of hockey fans to draw from. It takes time to build up that kind of support. Frankly I think all the bitching that Canadian hockey fans do about southern expansion is a little embarrassing.

Ken Holland. Four Cups with Detroit (one as asst. GM). His team is also still pretty good with some very good young players. Ya you're right they should have hired Ken Holland. What were they thinking? Lol!!

Lol the fact that you guys had to go to Bowman to find someone who rivals Lamoriello's level of success should really say it all. Not many guys out there with a track record like that.
-
The Devils went to the Cup finals in 2012. Really not that long ago. Under Lamoriello, they won the Cup three times and went to the finals five times. But ya, he turned 70 and forgot everything he ever knew about hockey. Jeez. No other modern GM has enjoyed that level of success over such a long period of time.

And?

One of the top GMs in the NHL over the last 2 decades... If I was a Leaf fan I would love this move.

Lol see this is exactly what I'm talking about. First of all I never said Jenner didn't deserve the award, but you're already all fired up to tell me why I'm wrong. Second of all you say "we're all ears" as if you're speaking for more people than just yourself. Nope, even though you believe every rational person in the world shares every viewpoint that you hold, you only get to speak for yourself. Finally, your first paragraph almost killed me. Could you have any more of a martyr complex? I think it's time you took a look in the mirror and examined your real motivations here. You don't have to label everyone a bigot just to feel good about yourself.
-
I think part of the problem is the holier than thou attitude that people like TUP and Fraser here are adopting. This might be shocking but winning an ESPY is not a basic human right. People can disagree with Jenner winning it and not be bigots. Ya, some people probably have some phobic or bigoted motivations for having that opinion, but not everyone is the same way. Some people just think there were more deserving candidates and that's not a bigoted or even intolerant opinion. It's just an opinion.

It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...
Atomic replied to IC Khari's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
If I wanted to hire a new head coach right now... realistically I have to think Lapo is the only option. No one is going to let you steal their coordinators halfway through a season. Maybe you could convince Benevides, I suppose, but not sure he would be interested considering he stated he wanted the year off from football. That said, I hate mid-season coaching changes. I would give Chamblin the year to figure it out. -
Suggestions for us old timers... and thoughts on long term
Atomic replied to White Out's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yep you're right. Buono, Higgins, and Don Matthews stand out but the rest had no HC experience before being hired. 2014 Hufnagel 2013 Chamblin 2012 Milanovich 2011 Buono 2010 Trestman 2009 Trestman 2008 Hufnagel 2007 Austin 2006 Buono 2005 Maciocia 2004 Clemons 2003 Higgins 2002 Matthews 2001 Buono -

I don't know if Walters and O'Shea are the "right guys" but I do know that Mack/Lapo got to a Grey Cup and Berry/Taman got to a Grey Cup and these guys seem to be better at their respective jobs than those guys ever were.... In my opinion, of course. There is a lot of parity in the league right now. If the Bombers get hot at the right time, they could win it all. Why not? I don't know why so many people stand out on the ledge after a loss. It's one game, we're .500. We almost stole one in Calgary... By which I mean, any win in Calgary has to be considered a steal for the Bombers with their history there. I've been a lot more worried about the team than I am right now... They look ok to me. -

Keith Stokes too -
Agreed. After all those years in the east, Hamilton is right up there with the Riders in terms of teams I love to see lose.

He's been starting at guard for the Stamps for awhile. They have been bringing him along slowly, he came straight out of junior. He competed for the vacant LT spot after Bryant left but I think this will be his first start at tackle. -
Montreal has a very good team. Lots of strong veteran players. Just average quarterbacking will be enough for them to make the playoffs in the east.

Using 2 roster spots on returners is a worse idea. Maybe but Stoudermire can back up at receiver and DB and I would even like to see Veltung taking some reps from Adams on offence
-
Toliver you're cut!!

I don't know why we have to have two extra import DL on the roster as we have been doing. I'd rather see one of those spots go to Stoudermire and leave Veltung on.
