Who will be the New Scapegoat?

[briererocks]

Obviously this team will team will be very bad next year. Losing Ghost, Myers and Voracek and "adding" Risto, Ellis and Atkinson is net a huge step backwards. Giroux is not getting younger and their coach is horrific. With Ghost gone, who does management blame now?


Will it be Frost? Will it be Sanheim or Hart? There is no accountability in this organization. Just rinse and repeat.

My vote is Frost

 

[kudymen]

TK, Sanheim and then Hart. Although at that point in time it may actually be a coin flip between Giroux and Hart.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

For us? AV
For the management and press? _laude

 

[GKJ]

Is this a scapegoat thread or is this bitching about Fletcher and AV thread?

because we have enough of the latter.

 

[ponder719]

I'm trying to be positive, so hopefully nobody.

There's a darker voice in the back of my head, though, saying "Sanheim's going to play with Risto. He's the new scapegoat."

 

[pooch]

It will be Risto no matter how well he does or does not play. The Ghost whiners wont be able to contain themselves.

Edit - I missed the management part...it will be Sanheim.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

LOL. As if there's any question. If we're talking about a player instead of staff and management, then it clearly is set up to be Ristolainen.

 

[Beef Invictus]

When I think of a scapegoat, I think of someone who is getting blame they don't deserve.

So it's unlikely Risto qualifies.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The question was who will management blame and not who WE will blame.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Without a doubt it will be Risto. People hate him before he even put on a jersey. Every mistake will be magnified and every positive will be minimized.

Oh, that's gonna be TK, Frost and Sanheim.

 

[CapnZin]

It will still be Robert Hägg

 

[Tarpongg]

Clearly TK. AV was giving him a dose of doghouse- “ the ghost protocol”- last year

 

[Curufinwe]

If the team is actually very bad, like 24th in the league at Thanksgiving bad, the coach and GM will be the ones under the gun.

Fans for not enough support.

I hate the trade but I don't hate HIM.

I'm going to give him a chance. Clean slate. What's the point in not?

If that's the case, and it definitely could be, Chuck will have no choice but to fire the coaching staff to buy himself some more time.

Then again I can also see a fast start due to the enthusiasm from new players and personalities and then a poor second half when the enthusiasm dips and the broken system takes hold.

 

[bennysflyers16]

HF boards, RISTO, Atkinson, Ellis easily.

Management and Shit Media, Giroux and TK are the choices they will have already penciled in.

As fans who still root for the team, we have to hope he succeeds as a functional second pairing d.

as unlikely as it is, we have to hope.

my vote for organizational scape goat is TK.

Oh he'll be given a chance, but the second he makes even the slightest questionable play he will be crucified and if he has a good game/makes a good play there will be reasons why he had a good game or made a good play that is anything but because he did a good job (he was getting easy minutes, he had a good partner, the other team made mistakes, etc.).

Dynamite post, although it won't apply to a lot here. Blind hope is all we have and have ever had.

 

[Curufinwe]

But the Ellis trade was super popular.
