I am not wasting my evening on this sh!t.

Why the fvck are we such a horrible hockey team?

Shame about the circumstances, but glad Hatakka is back with the big club. I liked what he brought in the games he was up. See what he has got for the rest of the year. Make sure Seigenthaller can recover fully.

Painful!!!!!

I am in the same boat. As much as I would like the team to win games, if they can't then at least it means Green shouldn't be around the team next year. I am really hoping for a full clear out, just go with a completely new perspective.

Let's see what he can bring. There was lots of talk that the team that took Kahkonen would be making a smart deadline move. Let's hope it works. I wasn't impressed when we played the Sharks recently. Looks really small in the net. But playing for this Sharks team can't of helped.

Everything has just come a month too late.

Dupe, please delete.

What in god's name are the Sharks doing? Why are they sending Vegas two thirds to take Hertl? Absolute daylight robbery by Vegas. Markstrom for Jake Allen and Brendan Smith.

I was referring more to the tax Situation than the place itself (although in this case its probably a double whammy). If I recall that ea shalf the reason everyone including Toffoli wanted out of Calgary? Although having said that isn't the tax in Jersey pretty high as well?

Jeez some of you are in a doom spiral. It's not the return anyone hoped , but the market is the market. You can't force people to trade with you. At the end of the day they are assets for a player you have no guarantee will be with you in 3 months time. And give what has been rumoured about the desired term, that might not be a bad thing. And even with that there is still a chance Fitz can reach out an get something done in the summer. Toffoli is going to Winnipeg, there is little chance he wants to stay!!!

Colour me underwhelmed

Had me for a second there 😆

Sorry if this has already been posted, but this really cracked me up. If he can't get a coaching job he probably has a role as a comedy side kick in a sitcom as a fallback option.

Amazing to see Timo finding his rhythm and getting those goals from the dirty areas that this team so often struggles to do. I still don't think we make the playoffs, so my hope for the rest of the season is to see cohesion and a structures system forming, and people staying healthy.

There we go.

Erm, no thank you. Edit: Just seen this was in another thread, so I am very late to the game, but my post still stands.

My take: 1) First off, the reporters on this really put Fitz on the spot with some pretty pointed questions. So we'll done to them , was refreshing to see. 2) Mixed messages on Holtz, early on in the conference Fitz said something about young players not learning anything with their arse glued to the bench. Which I read as maybe some criticism of Lindys handling of Holtz. But later on he kind of went in on him in quite a direct manner. Given he was jumping through hoops to cut the two goaltenders slack and not make it personal,I was pretty shocked. One thing I will say is that if Fitz is trying to package Holtz, probably best not to call out his work ethic in a press conference. 3) Fitz has clearly been working the phones, I think if anything it shows he was doing his best to get Lindy what he needed so he didn't have to pull the trigger now and fire him. I got a real sense of personal responsibility for the situation the team is in from Fitz. Think he has learned a big lesson from this experience. 4) I think Toffoli is traded before Friday. The fact that Fitz referenced there was a difference in term makes me think that Fitz will make sure he can get something back. He can circle back in the summer and he kind of hinted at that. To me he was trying to sound as non committal as possible, but it didn't really work. I think if Fits should take anything away from this it's that he needs to be more visible. There were three rounds of general housekeeping/injury update questions, literally because he isn't avaliable for such long stretches.

Getting destroyed by the Flyers in what essentially was our home stadium series in NEVER an option.

If anyone was in doubt this season was basically over:

I agree with all of this. I think for some , they still feel there is a chance of making something out of this season or that they are just sick of the on ice product. I think this is one of the last few seasons we can afford to write off. There won't be many more (if any), but although it's bloody annoying it isn't the end of the world for this team. This is still firmly in the start of our window.

After last night's results I think we are done. 8 points out of any wildcard, 7 off the last divisional spot. Sell what you can. Hope you get a decent draft pick, and use that as a trade peice to get some immediate help in the summer.

First two goals we gave up were trash. Team is it's own worst enemy. The Ducks played like the team who's season was on the line. We just look uninterested at times. Players look tired.
