Odd. I've never experienced anything like this. What version of the browser were you using, or at least how long ago? This sounds more like it's the plugins at work here than the browser. They've also gone through a major overhaul a while back so if it's been a while, you may want to give Mozilla another chance especially if the others aren't doing it for you. FF still owns about 10% of the market as of 2018.
Stopped using firefox about 5yrs ago. I should note not all problems were just on that end. Some companies I work for use cheapest possibly work information systems and so the problem definitely due to that as well. But still, I can change browsers, I can't change the OS at work heh.

Blessing. He is only reason why changes will happen in the organization. The only reason we are dead center in the spotlight. It reveals all our problems . Even if they have to drag the rot out kicking and screaming. Having McDavid will force Katz to make the drastic changes the team needs or lose the best chance of winning a stanley cup with once in a lifetime generational talent because of his arrogant pride to remove incompetents out of the organization. His name will be stained and cursed until the end of his days.
I agree and hope you're right, it's my only hope, McDavid is the only one who has the power to force change on this franchise. I fear it will have to be an ultimatum though, a kind of "OBC out or I demand a trade" scenario, and I really fear what our jock sniffing owner would choose...

As for the game, we didn't beat the Leafs (which I badly wanted), McDavid is not going to win the Art Ross and I don't think Drai, as hot as he is, is going to win the Rocket with just 1 (or none) NHL caliber players on his line.

Could a loss here finally spell the end to Nicholson?

Likely not. But a tidy 12 game losing streak and non-renewal of a batch of high end season tickets might do the trick.

Doubtful. Higher up you are more chance you get. If we still suck after his second GM then absolutely.

Nicholson is safe for at minimum another 3 years imo

Boedker could of been had for peanuts. He would be a better option for the 3rd or 4th line. :dunno:

That's a weak 3rd and 4th line, lot of ahl material.

Call Benson up now, not a lot to lose at this rate.

Interesting to compare today's poll results with an earlier poll about trading Nurse. I believe that was firmly in favour of keeping Nurse; now opinion seems to be pretty split down the middle...

Hope you've been all well, fellas. Cheers to the ones still watching games though. My apathy is an ultimate high. Will be back by good ol draft lottery day.

I would definitely keep Nurse. I would keep both, but with the proviso that both need more accountability than they receive and more direction as well. It seems like this org is shy about giving direction to some players and quite candid with others.

someone should randomly ask Nicholson whats the all time goal record in the NHL in a season just to see if this fake bitch even knows the answer during a presser.

will really show his hockey knowledge. We hired this turd to run our franchise

RNH I feel gets unlimited leash on the team because he has somehow developed this reputation of being a great two-way player. Two way players tend to be able to win the occasional board battle and are in the right position with their body and stick defensively most of the time. RNH is none of those things.

Nurse gets this reputation of being a great skater with a lot of tools, when in reality his skating is only above average at this level. He gets beat to loose pucks consistently by opposing forwards. His reputation of being a nasty, physical defender is also way overblown. He's cocky on the ice but rarely backs it up with any actual play or performance.
