Kind of saying the right things but at the same time rubbing Sather's face in it, & keeping the door open if he get's the call if Av is let go.

Thanks for everything but goodbye.

Guess Mess is seeing the 2-7 record with a GF-GA of -18 as opportunity knocking.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Phew. Was worried there for a second.

 

[Whiplash27]

Sadly, I don't think this team could be any worse under Mess.

 

[TankLarkin]

Sadly, I don't think this team could be any worse under Mess.

I'd bet we'd be tougher and have no qualms about answering the call when a line mate gets run with Coach Messier.

 

[Pizza]

.....and this bridge out the window behind me here, well it's yours for the right price.

 

[Pizza]

Sadly, I don't think this team could be any worse under Mess.

Agreed.

I'd bet we'd be tougher and have no qualms about answering the call when a line mate gets run with Coach Messier.

What a crock. The team isn't filled with a bunch of tough guys to begin with. What's Coach Messier gonna do? Jump on the ice and punch someone in the face himself? Give it a rest

Hindsight being 20/20, maybe we should have given Mess a kick at the tires?

who gives a rats ass.

He wasn't qualified before AV got hired and the team sucking ass right now doesn't make him any more qualified today.

Mess, don't go away mad. Just go away.

 

[pld459666]

Sadly, I don't think this team could be any worse under Mess.

actually, we could be ALOT worse.

Show me the system that Messier would use that would be half as good as the crap we are seeing now?

There isn't one.

The devil you know, is ALWAYS better than the devil you don't.

 

[Callagraves]

And I have no hard feelings against Mess.

He went for a job, didn't get it, and took another job offer instead of sticking around. I did the same thing a few months ago, and I'm sure most of us have at some point.

 

[Raspewtin]

Wait, the "Let's Hire Messier" crowd still exists?

 

[The Gloaming]

Wait, the "Let's Hire Messier" crowd still exists?

Apparently

I thought this conversation ended months ago.

 

[TankLarkin]

lineup would be different.

 

[Boom Boom Geoffrion*]

I'd bet we'd be tougher and have no qualms about answering the call when a line mate gets run with Coach Messier.

Messier was 7 feet tall. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the NHL with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his ass.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

If Messier was the HC and the team looked the way it currently does, people would say 'we should have hired and experienced HC'.

 

[The Gloaming]

lineup would be different.

Asham-Haley-Mashinter
Yogan-Boyle-Dorsett
as our top 6

Falk-Bickel
Aaron Johnson-Mcilrath

as our top 4

Ghost of Ron Hextall

as our goalie

We'll be able to punch some faces!! Hell yeah!

 

[ZacUSNYR]

Could you imagine this start if he got the gig? Wow! No thanks. Let's keep his legacy in good standing with this organization.

 

[SomE*]

Guess Mess is seeing the 2-7 record with a GF-GA of -18 as opportunity knocking.

2-7 record?

 

[Ian]

I'd bet we'd be tougher and have no qualms about answering the call when a line mate gets run with Coach Messier.

Just like Gretzky's teams became big time playmakers and owned the area behind the net? Oh wait....

 

[Ail]

Messier was 7 feet tall. Kills men by the hundreds, and if he were here he'd consume the NHL with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his ass.

Wait wasn't that William Wallace?

 

[frisland]

Could you imagine this start if he got the gig? Wow! No thanks. Let's keep his legacy in good standing with this organization.

legacy in good standing? ... then he never should have come back from vancouver...

You know lost in all the Mess hate is that our illustrious GM went to HIM to offer him the job

So think on that for a moment. Our GM approached a guy with NO coaching experience and asked him to take the job. If we believe this interview Mess told Slats to do his due diligence and look at everyone

So it is just another instance where Slats makes knee jerk decisions and moves. And Mark Messier told him to take a step back and do his job.
