Yzerman has been named the GM every single day since the 19th. It's like Groundhog Day up in here... but the calendar changes everytime.

So that's why I hear "I got you babe" on the radio every damn morning.

What's his hockey background other than being a scout for TB when Stevie went there?

According to the thread title, it still hasn't happened yet.

I mean he hasn't even done anything yet really

as far as i'm concerned though "honeymoon phases" aren't a thing,Yzerman is a fresh start so we get to let go of some emotional baggage over bad moves which is nice but if he starts doing stupid things i'm not about to not complain about it just because he's Yzerman and he's new

 

[dj4aces]

I'm still excited he's back, and I'm pretty sure I will be for at least the next few months.

Oh I have no doubt the first move he makes some are going to criticize and put him on a short lease but I can’t see an alternative to him that would be a better option but that’s that

With the draft and FA coming up the excitement is big

To anybody who thought fans would lose interest once the rebuild began, I respectfully disagree. Between the young players making progress and the front office changes and the upcoming draft/UFA/RFA season, I'll take this era over the "extend the streak" era any day.

Yep, I'd rather watch an 82 game season with exciting, skilled young players than an 86-87 game season (counting 4-5 game 1st rd loss) with what we had in that period.
