Johngould21 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Press to McClellan, What did you do over the All *tar weekend? I managed to get fired! Is it because of one player really? He didn't survive the Coilers with that star power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be cathartic to take them out after they dumped us on their first cup run. Better then playing the Blues. They seem to be the one team we struggle with.

PLD drafted #3 and then straight to a desperate CBJ franchise. No AHL time. In 48 games he is a - 16 in a d-side strong LA team. - 5 in his last 5 games played. under 14 minutes TOI in last 5 games. Chevy did a hellva job getting what he did out of LA. Mclellan is taking the hit but GM Blake made the trade. I doubt there is a coach change bump as Doughty was laying the problem on team mates. Hard to imagine that PLD wasn't one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, strong, talented center that has zero work ethic. The only coach that will get him to work will be the one to send him to the AHL for a full season. Unfortunately he makes way to much for any owner to agree to bury that money. What a waste. Yeah, dogshit who has scored 20 almost every year of his career 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could still see it in the offseason if nobody snaps up berube first, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him land in toronto after another first round flame out.

The Lock Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I have to say, I think this was the right call. Create a shakeup while playoff hopes are still alive rather than potentially continue the decline. I guess we'll see how the team responds to this and if it's enough to keep them in a playoff position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether sports or real world people, laziness drives me nuts. PLD when he actually plays like he cares looks like he can be a real difference maker. I've watched too many of his games though to where you don't even realize he is playing because of how often he is invisible out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Luc Dubois is bordering on clown territory with his antics traveling with him on every team he's joined. Listen to NHL Network, he's literally labeled a floater a lot of the times. That's laziness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzukes Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Wow, pretty good coach but I guess they need to do something. Do they go on a run now too? I have to take (hockey) issue with the PLD comments. Seems vaguely familiar as some folks declaring the Oilers season done earlier in the year. He is still a very good player with a desirable skillset. It can be very hard to adjust on a new team, some players immediately gel, with others it can take a year or more. I personally wouldn't be so giddy counting them and PLD out at this point, but to each their own. I am wondering are people just looking at his counting stats and concluding he's a bust. I haven't followed them at all so I don't know. Just not sure why people are jumping to this conclusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
