Antiquated Colorado Rockie

One last parting gift from that loser Hynes I see

Naturally the Oilers are the early front runners in the Lafreniere sweepstakes. I've caught a bit of it so far and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would, missed watching hockey

Bad name and the jerseys look kind of bush league to me. If I was a Seattle hockey fan I would be disappointed with the packaging

I'm not surprised that they are taking their time. The Devils probably don't play again until in January. Presuming things start up again, there will be playoffs and an offseason which will produce the fullest range of options, in the meantime Fitz is doing the job and not going anywhere. I think there is a good chance it will be Fitz anyway but I don't see the downside of letting it play out.

I'd be surprised. Once they start interviewing other candidates it is unlikely they are sticking with the interim, they just say the interim is a candidate but if they were really sold on him as head coach they would name him. I don't want him either. It's a decent group of candidates, out of that group I am hoping for Laviolette, really proven coach that I think would a fit for the roster style wise.

It's an idea but one that tarnishes the season and I would rather they do it in a different way so I guess we'll disagree.

Agree, ending the season with a different playoff format than what it began with does tarnish it for sure. From an integrity standpoint the best would have been to finish the schedule, do the playoffs and shorten next year.

For the first time in ages I logged on and clicked on this thread to see what if there were developments with Taylor Hall contract talks and instead only learned how Alf ended lol. Ended about as well as Hall's tenure in New Jersey I guess.

a meaningless late season game is when Schneider shines so expect a strong performance from him

and don't forget the starting goaltender Cory Schneider

agree, I used to kind of root for Cleveland just because they have been down for so long but I can't cheer for that arrogant Mayfield who hasn't done sh!t

Yup, they've been the undisputed worst organization in pro sports for many years.

Agree with you there that's what he did best. He may not be the guy you want to do the drafting but he is the guy you want to trade for the draft picks.

Yes, that's the dysfunctional part that sounds set up to make the GM less effective. Analytics reporting directly to ownership, sounds like the front office is trying to model themselves after the Cleveland Browns. A-List GM isn't coming to a team with that set up so this is very concerning.

extend Fitzgerald?
