Never Forget
I love Ward and I'll give him a week to get in the flow of things cause that's all we can afford but even if he's bad this year, that means we have to look for a goalie. I don't really want to think about that.
What's wrong with admiring an attractive woman?
Also, I don't think she did bad for her first game.
It creates a double standard. No one is saying anything about Tripp and John's looks and how they may or may not relate to their jobs (and I wouldn't expect them to, because the content of what they say matters more).
It's disgusting in every way, basically. *shrugs*
But then, how many women do we have on this board? 2?
I'm not saying Ward sucks, but I think I'm starting to see what some of these guys have been saying over the past several years.
Any bonus points that Ward had built up because of the Conn Smythe have gone, in my opinion. He's at a score of 0 right now, complete clean slate. He better have a good year this year, because the rose-colored glasses are off. I'm not saying I'm going to judge him unfairly or harshly, but I'm not going to be foolish enough to just hide starts like these under the rug and say everything's OK.
My opinion of Ward is going to be EXACTLY what he shows me this year. Anything he's done in the past is gone.
That's the thing. Tonight, Ellis looked like the starter while Ward looked like the shellshocked backup.
As Anton Dubinchuk correctly pointed out, Bowman, Boychuk, Dalpe, Semin, Pitkanen and Ellis were all our best players today.
They were also (with the exception of Pitkanen) the only ones on the team who played during the lockout.
We shouldn't read too much into this thrashing. I say give it a week before we make any critical judgement.
Chantel, to me, sounded like a teenager reporting at a high school game. She is very pretty, but I don't think she sounds professional.
This is by far the most active GDT in HF 'Canes history by a margin of 165 posts.

Bigger crowds mean more people with ridiculous ideas. Sign Jamie Benn for 7 million. Start Ellis on Tuesday. Brandon Sutter would have prevented two and scored two last night. I liked not having to wade through as much absurdity.
