Get this bum out of here.
Yeah, really, do people think it’s a coincidence that none of the players are speaking up at all or in any positive way for Elvis?? The only mistake Jarmo made is giving him the contract to begin with and allowing this to go on for so long.
Toxic or just not really present? I mean when have guys like Boone who is a lead by example type but who speaks? Who keeps guys accountable? Who gets in your face and tells you what you dont want to hear but need to?
Is the problem Boone and his leadership? Or is it the problem guys like him and Gudbranson are “handcuffed” with what they can or can’t say to the “superstars”?? How the hell can you hold any of these guys accountable when they bitch and moan and handle criticism so terribly!?!
How did these current guys handle Torts? People claim Larsen was too easy on the players, but what happened when he attempted to hold Laine accountable on the bench? And like Torts, what subsequently happened to him? What about Babcock? We still don’t know the full story there, seems just more aspect of “accountability” certain players can’t handle. Hell, our players were more vocally defensive of Babcock than they have been of Elvis.
Would having Dubinsky here yelling at these guys be better or worse?? Him beating up Laine/Elvis is the locker room wouldn’t be any good.
Not to mention, some of you have obviously never played on a hockey team where the players hated their goalie. That’s quite clearly what we have going on here.
I’m also not convinced he’s “outplayed” Martin this year. A WAIVER PICKUP. The “numbers” mean nothing and could quite literally flip flop after just another handful of starts for each guy.
Anyways, BYE BYE!! You will not be missed.
