Pumped to have Duchy on the team, dude is all heart.
Remain frustrated that we keep re-upping Malawsky as coach. He has a losing record over the last four years, and nothing has really pointed to a change in direction. McBride is assistant coaching for the Mammoth this season, could see him turning into a decent coach as he has been paying his dues in Jr. A. Toth assistant coached for a while in Vancouver too. Maybe a homer move, but I think the fans would get behind giving one of them a shot at running the Necks.
Also, Mike Board is a nice enough guy but he ended up as GM because he was the web guy for CSEC and had some lax background? Gotta think we can try something different.
We have some decent tools, I'm sure other teams would love to have Currier, Berg, Bell. Dickson is still a threat, and even Dobbie is hanging on. Still astounded we gave up Sciliangno in the expansion, Board told a STH meeting they would keep both goalies at all costs. Just can help but get a vibe that there is a real culture problem with the team. They start the season slow and never seem to get cranked up like they used to.
Here's hoping we see something good in a couple of weeks.
