Wouldn't be shocked if the league sends Gorton there for the good of the league. I imagine that's gotta be who Davidson is thinking of first. They basically need someone with a strong enough personality, a la Rutherford, who will stand up to the owner. IMO Jarmo basically acted the role of hatchetman for his bosses and that obviously did not work. Statistics: Posted by Pokecheque — Wed Feb 21, 2024 7:06 pm ..read more

I'm fine with at least one metro team being a shit show for a prolonged period of time. Well, two, if you include the Isles, which I currently do. Statistics: Posted by Chris18 — Wed Jan 17, 2024 3:31 pm ..read more

What a toxic, fucked up situation. They send Elvis to the press box, Vincent says it's to see what they have in Tarasov (he of course gets lit the fuck up in the next game). Jarmo says it's a "coach's decision." So either the GM is lying and throwing his new coach under the bus, or he's telling the truth and Pascal effing Vincent now gets say in managerial issues????? Either way I wouldn't blame any players in that organization for wanting out RIGHT NOW. Thing is, they can fire Jarmo (and they should), they can fire Davidson (and they should) but IMO very little will change. Ownership refuses ..read more

Lumbus has a way of sucking the life out of players. I don't think they have a single player achieving, let alone overachieving. Just sad, really. Also, the brass has decided that in order to instill a culture change, they're going to do so with brute force, so Pascal Vincent has been a drill sergeant from the beginning, benching guys no matter what their name or cap hit. But that's obviously not working (and it very rarely does). The only thing that's going to do is drive players--present and future--away from a city that not many want to be in anyway. I predict the Columbus Blue Jackets wi ..read more

Ugly, ugly year so far for Johnny. 1G 5A in 15 games. 3rd line duty for a guy making almost 10 mil a year. Things aren't good in Columbus...but the flip side is that no one really cares and maybe that's why Johnny chose this spot. Statistics: Posted by harmfuljays — Wed Nov 15, 2023 2:54 am ..read more
