Was the phone plugged in?

Doesn’t matter. As long as you have a process you’ll succeed in life no matter what!

 

[lightstorm]

With Lewis and Richardson in, Gawdin and Ruzicka have a blue print what they need to do and how they need to play if they want to make the team.

And if they cant beat out these two, they aren't NHLers, Sutter or no Sutter.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Can't complain unless he plays regularly

What if the big changes were the friends we made along the way all along?

 

[Ace Rimmer]

How dare you guys besmirch the honoured name of Bradley Benjamin Stanley Richardson.

For shame.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Not awful. You know what you're getting at least.

 

[NinjaTurtle]

This is a player that I was hoping for 2-4 years ago, but at this point is solid depth for the 4th line.

I know everyone wants the kids to be given ice time, but they should still be able to earn it over a 36 y/o and that contract can easily be buried or sit in the press box. Avoided losing him to other teams if we only extended a PTO.

Best case scenario: We’ve added depth, in a veteran with Stanley Cup experience to help our youth and who is good on face-offs (an annual weakness!).

Let’s hope he bounces back from last year’s injuries and puts up 15-20 pts and a 55% in the dot.

Who knew that it was our bottom 6 wingers who were the issue last season…maybe this signing signifies a Lucic trade

 

[Mazatt]

Pretty inoffensive signing. 12th/13th forward type guy that provides insulation if the kids like Ruzicka and Gawdin aren't ready for full time roles. Only real concern is that there are going to be a few 12/13th type guys filling out the 4th line (Lewis, Ritchie), but that's more an issue across the line and not for Richardson specifically. Could do a lot worse for a bench guy and he keeps up the identity that Sutter is seemingly pushing for in the bottom 6.

 

[Fig]

Is he a Hathaway type?

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

ffs why do we even bother having a farm system

By hiring a farmer to be our head coach, doesn't that make our system the farm system by default?

 

[DCDM]

We are signing the players Sutter had 10 years ago.

He didn't say the Flames glory days. He must be talking about Sutter's glory days with the Kings in the 2011-12 season.

Lol, you got me. I definitely was trying to remember the Flames glory days from a decade ago... and I came up with nothing.

Yes, this is what I meant.

 

[Zirakzigil]

That about sums this one up

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

That about sums this one up

Ryan replacement and a player Sutter can trust.

Least we have Darryl quotes to look forward to. Something about milking chickens and sorting the sheep from the chaff iono what farmers do

What about the combine?

What about those that bale on the team?

Who takes the bull by the horns?

Who's on tractor to meet or exceed the quota for the year?

Are we adding more beets to the make up of this team?

What type of de-Tractor is Eric Francis?


On a side note, in the same way that Stone had a resurgence under Sutter, I think the same could be said of Hamonic if he could play under Sutter. Not just play, but soul wise, I think Hammer would appreciate it and be revitalized by it.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

The bottom six is not the problem but maybe if you bring in enough bottom six guys, then the top six will improve.

It's all about the trickle-up effect.

What seeds will the players sow and nurture in order to grow their game over the season?
Will Francis mooooove over and let professionals do the work?
Who follows the Sutter brand best?
Is Lucic going to stirrup trouble?
What's the best way to spur the topline into action?
Why is Edmonton horse poo?

If it wasn’t for @Corpus X , you would still be my favourite poster.

If it weren’t for all the other posters, you’d be my favourite poster <3.

Awe, that is a very nice thing to say... in private. hahahahaha!

Thanks buddy.

In truth Johnny Hoxville and I are in the same back hair swapping group (yes there are dozens of us) so really you guys don't stand a chance.
