Steve Downie Destroys AZ Coyotes on Twitter - Calls Tippett an idiot

[vanarchy]

He's not far off but he's also an idiot. So everyone loses here.

 

[6 Karlsson 5]

when did oel break his hand in fight?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

EDIT: Why did I think Downie played in the NHL this season? Heh.

Anyways, I don't have much use for Downie or his opinion.

Tippet is a terrible coach.

But that tweet killed more than a few braincells.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

technically, he didn't call tippet an idiot. he said either the game has changed or tippett is an idiot.

the game has clearly changed, therefore he did not call tippett an idiot.

tippett has become an awful coach over the years, far cry from his days in dallas. not sure how he's managed to stick around for so long

and is downie drunk?

Last year, there was a power struggle. An owner that is good friends with Dave Tippett (they're both from the same area of Canada) had a lot of influence at the time, because the others were fading a bit financially, gave him the title of VP, a five year extension that hasn't even started, and fired Don Maloney (a well respected GM that was executing a great rebuild at the time). All of that for a coach that got increasingly less out of his rosters, and one that chose to play career AHL players over young talent that needed to be developed and evaluated, even when the team was completely out of the race.

Now everyone can see the emperor has no clothes because there's nobody left to blame.

Dave Tippett is the type of coach that puts Holland (a castaway warm body) on the 2nd line the moment he is claimed off waivers but puts Christian Dvorak, a rookie that is 2nd in P/60 on the team and leads the team in plus-minus, on the 4th line.

He is an awful coach that the game has left behind.

Yes, coaching is the reason why Arizona sucks every year. That must be it.

Not really true they sometimes make the playoffs. But if anything it's just money issues .

 

[Seanaconda]

Mcdavid broke his hand in a fight. And hall injured himself in a fight. It happens souray was probably the oilers best player when he got injured fighting

No, there's lots of reason that they suck, but the current coaching staff is going to ensure they never get better.

It doesn't take that much time to verify your spelling/grammar is correct. Or just do it correctly from the get-go.

Actually, some people have trouble with it, and it's not exactly something that can be corrected easily for them.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I'm surprised Downie can even use a computer.

I'd have figured he'd spend hours looking for the "Any" key.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

"Destroys" is a bit of a stretch. If anything, he makes himself look more like a moron with his spelling and grammatical mistakes.

I've seen this type of comment a few times and I find it curious HF is critical of spelling within a 140 character limit from a player, but if you criticize someone or correct someone's poor spelling on HF where there is no character limit, many jump in with the whole "this isn't school", "you're a grammar nazi" etc. Just kind of funny.

I find it so funny people are going to look past what Downie is saying on the basis of his grammar.

I find that peculiar as well.

 

[SnoopDogg]

He's making himself look like an idiot here

 

[Lyons71]

The team literally picks up the contracts of retired players to help other teams loophole around the cap. No respect for that organization. That being said, Domi would be an idiot no matter what team he played for. His classic "jump the player to start a fight" tactic backfired this time.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Just like Downie's grammar.

if youv got a problum with it then shut up or sey it too his face, these people and theyre snoty attitud

I hate to knickpit but you forget the comma.

 

[Drij]

I blame auto correct

 

[MasterDecoy]

If you're gonna sound drunk while tweeting, at least be drunk - assuming he wasn't at 2pm...

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

I find it so funny people are going to look past what Downie is saying on the basis of his grammar.

Probably because nobody cares what Downie thinks.

 

[Munchkin10]

Fired off a couple more in the last few minutes.

I find it so funny people are going to look past what Downie is saying on the basis of his grammar.

Others are looking past it because Downie is a gigantic PoS. And others are using the grammar to reinforce their belief that Downie's brain is little more than a pile of mush.

 

[Naych_PHX]

Interesting.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

who the *** is steve downie??

also i would definitely not quantify that as "destroying" them

more as like what i would except a 14 yo middle school girl to tweet after randy went for a shake and fries w/ becky and not her

that is some serious bitterness and passive aggressiveness there tbh imo

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

He's not wrong though.
