Thread: Wake up Stan

Yeah but the real issue is, you can make slight improvements to speed but speed can't be dramatically improved...either have it or you don't. Dach is SLOOOOWWWWW. Maatta is SLOOOOWWWWW, Seabs is SLOOOOWWWW, Smith, De Haan, Strome, Toews, Seabs, all are SLOOWWWWW....this is freaking SLOOOOWWWW team that thinks playing a physical game wins games. What is this the late 90's early 2000's? Stan Bowman is a freaking moron with the team he's built. We just traded our fastest guy too, Perlini; not that he was going to change things but we give up Schmaltz for Strome....slower. We draft Dach over Turcotte....slower. We bring in Maatta because the defense was playing too fast with Seabs....slower. We bring in De Haan, again not known for speed, slower. We traded Kahun who was one of our quicker guys. Stan Bowman doesn't have a clue....Rocky should fire this guy as we head towards another lottery pick.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>Okay, due respect, but I say again, it is absolutely unfair of to bring him up. However, I only bring him up at this point for one reason. That is, Stan serious sold everyone on this guy being the franchise piece that would turn the team around. Yes, he’s 18. Yes, he needs to fill out. Yes, he needs to freakin mature. Yes, he is talented. But, NO, I truly don’t think he will get any faster. All that talent means nothing without it then in this NHL. I am by no means dissing him directly in this post, but games like these literally highlight the clear lack of understanding that this management team has when it comes to drafting in the MODERN NHL!!!!

Sorry Dach, didn’t mean to call you out directly as I always do, but you are the embodiment of how deep this team has sunk in its understanding of creating are winner. You are not the brunt of my anger, you merely highlight a bigger problem. I truly hope you turn out the way Stan thinks you will.</div></div>
