If Therrien really did say that, there's just no way that's a tenable situation as is.

This. When I read that post, I thought Therrien had been fired and I missed it. How are they going to face each other when Max gets back to Montreal? I wouldn't play for someone who said something like that about me.

Funny to think back to that 2013 draft when some folks were shocked he fell to us at 9 and then were disappointed we used it to bring in Schneider.

 

You can count me as one of those people, I'm ashamed to admit.

Thought we made a huge mistake passing on a talented forward for another goalie.

Shows how much I know, right?

I think in general there was a little debate simply because we were worried that Lou would pull his usual stunt and not lock up Cory long term (only had 2 yrs on his contract when we traded for him.) But this just reinforces that really outside of top 3 picks any draft is usually a crapshoot- I'm sure we can look back on plenty of draft threads and laugh at some comments.

i hope Hall does what he's meant to do. 

Same, we need him to desperately.

Though, in a weird way, I'm almost hoping even more so that Larsson delivers for the Oilers. He's such a good kid and he's going to have a ton of expectations put on him since he cost them Hall.

If he struggles.. I could see the boobirds start to come out. Which would be awful.

Agreed, rooting for the kid hard. It's not like a good season by Larsson will hurt us in any way unless we're talking about a Devils-Oilers Final. But I'll be rooting for him to succeed as much as I'll be rooting for Hall.

Bizarre happenings in Ottawa.

I don't know the whole story, but apparently some recently acquired/tryout scrub took a run at Clarke Macarthur in a scrimmage and gave him another concussion (his 4th in a couple years or something).  Sucks for him, ruined any chance he had of making a comeback to the NHL.

And then Bobby Ryan went after this guy, and Chris Neil tried to get his shots in too.  I think I read they had to escort the guy out for his own safety.

I'd be so pissed if I was a fan.

I haven't heard any he follow up, has he been released?

Trying to watch the Isles-Rangers game, but I think I might cut my ears off if I have to listen to Rosen and Micheletti anymore. Always forget how much I hate these guys over the summer, but I remember now :puke:

Don't forget Al Trautwig, who's just BRUTAL.
