GDT: HFBoards GDT | 2/3/19 It's the super B... Hockey !! 3 games today

[Snakepit]

Hire good management.

Not an option. There's no good GM's that played for the Oilers in the 80's.

 

[syz]

Hire good management.

Need to get to at least Boston-level, where Chiasson would be their 5th best forward.

 

[DFF]

Hire good management.

lol, I know a few GMs on HFboards...

 

[serp]

He is their 4th best forward. What can they do?

You need fast players 3on3. As good as Chiasson is scoring goals is he a slow skater. Run out Rieder or something. He wont't score but at least he can skate.

 

[LTIR]

Hire good management.

But then who will claim all the BOS area rejects off waivers?

 

[CauZuki]

My guess is Brian Burke doesn’t launch a huge rant about the professionalism of Lindholm mocking the people who supported his career for 5 years.

They obviously didn't do such a great job...

 

[tarheelhockey]

Support his career? They booed him because the owners refused to negotiate with him because he would have been worth more money then they wanted to spend, so they sent him packing. The exact opposite of supporting his career

But I'm thankful for it.

The fans here gave Lindholm nothing but love the entire time he was here. The org gave him and the other players a “welcome back” message today that drew mixed clapping and jeers, and I assure you the jeers were not aimed at Lindholm among that group of returnees.

But the point isn’t that Lindholm is a bit of a prick for what he did. The point is Brian Burke has been ranting for weeks about players doing something fun for their fans being “unprofessional”, but you can rest assured he won’t say one word about a player actually doing something to mock those fans. “Professionalism” is apparently reserved for players from certain franchises.

Even the majority here have trouble dividing emotional hockey analysis with logical hockey analysis, could it really be much worse?

Reider? Now that is truly sad

 

[CupInSIX]

Are they actually McDavid in Montreal?

Possibly

 

[serp]

Reider? Now that is truly sad

The Oilers have a bunch of garbage but at least put the fast garbage out there in OT instead of the slow garbage. It just fits better . I don't care if 5on5 certain players are worse 3on3 is not 5on5

That's right, just a bunch of garbage after the top 3 forwards...I am not supporting Chiasson....just saying it's just another piece of garbage so it really doesnt matter.

“Professionalism” is apparently reserved for players from certain franchises.

This is a pretty silly inferiority complex to get hung up on. I think it's safe to say that the "certain franchises" are the ones playing "duck duck goose" after a win and nothing else.

Regardless of your view on Burke, or the celebration, it's pretty reasonable to assume Burke would have the same view if Detroit went on to do human bowling after a win.

After the game, Lindy said he did it because he felt the fans were booing him. He said his name came up twice on the Jumbotron and he was booed when it was up there.
The fans had no call to boo Lindy. Its not like he walked away from the team as a UFA. He was traded. No doubt the booing was hurtful to Lindholm and he over reacted.

Go to the 1:45 mark of the interview and he addresses the hand clapping.

 

[dogbazinho]

Yes his feelings got hurt and he lashed out.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

McDavid's too nice. 3 on 2 in the 3rd and he actually drops it to Lucic, which was great from a Habs perspective. Lucic does nothing and Montreal gets the puck back.

OT McD should've been yelling at Drai for that puck. A little tap up and McDavid is on a breakaway; instead Drai doesn't seem to know what to do and completely screws it up.

McDavid keeps expecting his teammates to do the right thing.

Which is less professional: waiting till the other team clears the ice, and celebrating with your own fans; or doing a celebration dance to mock the other team in front of their fans while they’re still on the ice?

It’s just really, really amusing that this happened after Burke made huge waves this week ranting about professionalism. I guarantee there will be not one word of criticism about that act in the national media. It is what it is, the hypocrisy either registers with you or it doesn’t.

 

[Tkachuky]

Good job Lindy.

Get over it. I actually hope more players and teams mock them.

I do not think Burke speaks for the rest of the NHL. What he thinks is irrelevant...it's just his own opinion, dont take it too hard lol

Gotta make due with what you have and use the correct garbage for the situation where it fits best. Hitch doesn't do that and quite frankly he didn't last year either. The way he handled minutes of supporting cast players was in part just awful with Dallas.

“Professionalism”

Burke hasn't even chimed in yet, let's see if he does.

And again, you're acting like Burke wouldn't have been pissed about any team doing what the Canes do. I'm not saying he's right or wrong, but he would have the exact same response to any team - Detroit, Toronto, Pittsburgh, doesn't matter - he would be mad if any of them celebrated duck duck goose. If you don't believe that you have a massive inferiority complex.

An individual mocking his former team/fans after being disrespected (with mock clapping is all) is a lot different then having every single player on a team preplan celebrations before the win and then go out and play duck duck goose. I mean, again, I don't care about Burke's view, but they aren't the same.

Also, don't be tricked by Burke. He knows Cherry's time is up and the "old-school, tell it like it is" hockey personality is up for grabs and is going for it. Anything "new-school" will be up for grabs for him to rant on. So more or less you're giving him exactly what he wants by continuously bring him up.

 

[dogbazinho]

Regardless of the reasons this is how you get a fan base to turn on you. I think he already regrets what he did.
