Bell Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I was never a fan of Bob Mccown but his health has certainly taken a turn for the worse. He was spitting all over the place in that interview. That was a tough watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho_Path Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Welp, disappointing to hear him say that he can't point out any players that had off years. Only 6 players had career years in terms of point production this past season (not that that's necessarily a bad thing). I'd certainly say Mikheyev, Kuzmenko, Lindholm, Beauvillier, Soucy, and Podkolzin had off years relative to what they've shown they're capable of.

Pianoman Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Beauvillier, mikheyev, kuzmenko, and lindholm aren’t part of our team anymore. And lindholm didn’t even play more of the year with us. So that just leaves soucy and podz. Soucy was fine when he wasn’t injured. Maybe you could argue it was a down year based on injuries at most? Podz wasn’t really a down year, he just didn’t progress much. Not to pick apart your post, but I don’t think him saying that is disappointing at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podz also suffered a concussion the early part of the season. I don't think he really got into the swing of things last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he really got into the swing of things last year. Yeah, he was looking great before the injury. He didn't come back quite as strong. Perfectly understandable. After everything, it would really suck to lose him on waivers. But it is what it is at this point. Hope he comes into camp ready this time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podz wasn’t really a down year, he just didn’t progress much. Not to pick apart your post, but I don’t think him saying that is disappointing at all. I disagree. I think one should be realistic with what's happening with the team. Those players did not have good seasons last year with Rick, regardless of them still being with the team or not. Lindholm's production on this team was bad. 6 points in 20 games. That's not good utilization for point production. Sure Petey was injured at the time, but either way, should be able to get a player that had a point a game the year before, including 40 goals, to put up more than 6 points in 20 games. I'm not suggesting that we don't have a good coaching staff; we do. But you still need to be realistic, and saying that no one on the team last year had a down year isn't realistic; it's disappointing.
