The whole hockey club isn't run based on what you would rather watch. You want kylington and Jankowski to be here ? You think it's a good way to develop them?
People on here are so unbelievable.
Maybe this is why most Canadian teams suck. They aren't allowed to suck. Every 2 seasons there is pressure to squeeze into the playoffs via wildcard spot and lose in the first round just because people have no patience and want to be entertained so badly.
Maybe we should be mad at the management who put this team on the ice. Who hired GG. Who signed Gio for the most part of the next decade. Who handed Brouwer his contract. Didn't trade Wideman 2 years ago. Etc etc.
What do you guys expect. We have a top 6 forward who couldn't earn a contract with the oilers this off season. We have a right winger who was booed out of Ottawa.
I think whoever was deluded enough to think this team had aNY business in a playoff race deserves to be let down.
On another note...we can't just go break someone's neck everytime Johnny gets a wacky. Teams are trying to provoke us. Plus who is our enforcer? We have Engelland and nobody else who plays that role. It's not 1980 either. Maybe this is the downside of having a 5 foot 150 lb superstar cornerstone of our franchise. Even Crosby can defend himself and hack back or even drop the gloves if he needs to. Johnny needs to be protected and we have nobody to do that for him. Our team doesn't have that identity. Maybe if he played on Edmonton he would be protected
