What an April to forget. f*** me.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

What an April to forget. **** me.

You shouldn't be surprised when he stepped down this was inevitable he would go back to Detroit.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Well...there's only one thing to say..

 

[JoVel]

I hope I don't see one Lightning fan being angry at Yzerman for his decision after all he did for this organization.

 

[MattM92]

As expected. He did it the way he should. Step down before the year, stay on to advise and guide JBB in his first year, then move on.

Best of luck Yzerman, please don't take Murray with you!

Just heard on NHL Sirius that Al Murray will be going with him. WTH. That's really bad. I guess Yzerman is taking a few people with him. He's going to neuter us. Terrible, I have no faith in that clown I saw yesterday.

[Stammertime91]

Lol. He put the Rangers on the Lightning, mixing a bunch of playoff chokers together and darted back home.


That was it. That was the decade long Yzerplan. Lmaooooooooo

 

[LightningStrikes]

No surprise

Is this officially confirmed? That would be real bad news.

 

[T REX]

Is this officially confirmed? That would be real bad news.

I don't think so. I am holding out hope that it is FALSE.

[Todd1a]

well this sucks but I wish yzerman all the best

 

[T REX]

I hope he stays.

 

[Todd1a]

how many years do you think we have till the redwings are good again ?

 

[MattM92]

This summer is crucial for the franchise. This is either the beginning of our descent to mediocrity or the summer we make the changes to win some championships. I hope JBB is ready, because Yzerman is going to want to bring his guys. He and Vinik can't let that happen.

 

[MattM92]

how many years do you think we have till the redwings are good again ?

They'll be contending within 5 years, I'd say.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

I hope I don't see one Lightning fan being angry at Yzerman for his decision after all he did for this organization.

Not angry at him but the reality is he is going to a division rival. I won't exactly be wishing him the best of successes...not to mention the purging he will end up doing to our staff.

 

[These Are The Days]

Al Murray too? Ahhh f*** me man.



Yep we're done

 

[Todd1a]

They'll be contending within 5 years, I'd say.

ya I'd say 3-5 years for the redwings then they will be good

 

[Todd1a]

Al Murray too? Ahhh **** me man.



Yep we're done

Vinik better step up and pay al murray more money

I hope I don't see one Lightning fan being angry at Yzerman for his decision after all he did for this organization.

I am HAPPY for him but this is a dagger; he's also taking the lead scout and Verbeek with him.

Tampa is neutered

Detroit will be competitive in 2020 and into the playoffs in 2021

 

[PJ817]

Vinik better step up and pay al murray more money

I don't think it's about money at this point; these guys want to work for a winner - in the playoffs winner - not a pretender

The writing was on the wall in the fall; I really hoped money could keep Yzerman here (lol) and he'd stay to undo JBB and Coopdapoop but ...

Wish him the best!

 

[These Are The Days]

Vinik better step up and pay al murray more money

If Bob McKenzie is right about other possible departures then it ain't about money. It'll be the Illuminati basically saying "yeah f*** Tampa"

I seriously can't believe it's been 10 years
