I vote 'Blackhawks versus Brown Water' for the title

If you're calling up Roslovic - why not just put him on a line with Connor, they already have chemistry... maybe with Perrault on the right side

I'd expect randle back at Sam for 2018 hopefully not fogg

Wonder if they can afford bond...

I wonder if copp would mesh with ehlers and laine

Wonder what we'd think of nic petan if he'd ever been given the chance to centre Perrault and armia... probably wouldn't be a 'bust'

Perrault-little-armia is a good line

Would have much rather seen Spooner on that list than Speller

Maurice is still the problem - overplaying top line and overplaying Lowry. Tanev playing 13 minutes against the best team in the league while Perrault and Armia end up with 8 or 9 minutes? Lunacy. Second line is a mishmash of 'best talent' because Maurice wants a solid third line of pluggers... instead of three scoring lines Would love to see Copp as our third centre and Laine back on the left side where he can actually score... maybe ESW Laine-Little-Perrault Connor-Copp-Armia

Jets in 8th place... crazy what a three game slide does in this league...

I believe this type of thread shows up every December... so we're right on schedule... Then a few signings are announced just before/after Christmas... but the forum still rumbles - panic continues... Most of our big name free agents are signed just before FA with one real head shaker... forum argues over that one decision Walters grabs 2 big names and 2 not so big in FA... forum agrees Walters is a genius then we argue about Joe Mack Walters make a fairly small trade like getting a 4th round pick for some dude... forum hails him as a genius Coaching personnel decisions takes a long time... panic ensues... new assistant hired... forum argues Someone asks what happened to Nasty Nate... someone else complains about how bad this board is getting (unlike the old days) Draft occurs and we all hail it as one of the most 'solid' drafts in recent history... forum rejoices in Walters' genius - then we argue about Taman A long-winded thread starts about Cal Murphy and Don Jonas in a subtle attempt to show just who the real fans are here... and then its pre-season!!!

Not sure an injured Buff is necessarily that bad... Maurice has been way overplaying him. Only prob is that Maurice will go with Chiarot-Poolman and play them 7 minutes a game...

Where does it say injury?

To be fair, Lapo was highly criticized for being a dink and dunk OC when Drew Willy was here... If Walters doesn't find Nichols, Lapo would probably already be fired

To be fair, he's just bummed out this year that the Oilers suck and he's forced to hang out on this forum.

Third line with 15 mins ice time... Little and Ehlers with 12 mins - 4th line with 7 mins Buff 25 mins ice time - 7:30 on powerplay... Maurice overplaying the top line now... hope they dont wear out

Now hold Walters up to those same ridiculous standards... and Haywood was damn good hargs far better than Coates... I just don't remember anyone freaking out about the bombers receivers from 2000-2008... why pretend it was a problem

Barron Simpson and lobendahn were pretty good MLB... bryant was very good and so was Derek Armstrong and ajIII huge insult to Gavin walls and Jerome Haywood too i think Logan, franklin, brown, hargs, labatte, gauthier is not bad... tamans prob was the 7th NI - Mckinley equals hurl... say what you want now but we all know taman has two gc rings if Glenn doesn't break his arm

A. Taman would have been lynched if he let Milt walk... there was lots of backloading going on in the league at that time B. I like Walters but I think its hard to do a fair comparison - Cdn talent was kind of crappy in the early 2000s - not many teams would ever think of playing MORE Cdns than the ratio required... but many do now. I think Taman was unable to change as the league evolved. Besides, our Cdn talent wasn't too bad when he left - it was Mike Kelly/Joe Mack that really decimated it... Tamans weakness was always import DBs - right now, Walters weakness is receivers and MLB... In the end, Taman has a GC ring and Walters doesn't... yet.

Same thing he didn't like about 'Hellesuyck' last year... nothing really in particular

Given that I'm probably the only guy on here who's actually been to 'morweena'... I think you're talking out of your ass

so... no actual source other than you think you remember? and then back to Taman bashing when he helped build two gc worthy teams...

I thought he made space for Charlie as a return guy... just to keep him around?

What he means is he saw the last name Reimer and decided he knew everything about him

Incredibly funny you mean
