If I’m Blueger, McGinn, Jarry, et al, I struggle to look the core in the face. The mere thought of potentially costing them a playoff berth would hold me accountable and keep me awake. But what the hell do I know.It’s crazy how I watch this team and I’m thinking “Crosby, Geno, letang, Rackell, Guentzel are just playing awesome”
But we still just continue to lose because everyone else is complete trash
We aren’t going to sell but if we did….no need to acquire draft picks. Acquire young NHL players that can help next year. Bolster the bottom 6 for next year that way.We don’t need to sell. Draft picks at this point with the core means little. We need a GM that will move all this dead weight and just create a good third line…which like Mikey said, can’t happen until the off-seasonLike it or not the guy that just extended Sid, Letang and Malkin, and signed Rakell isn't going to be selling
sorryWhat’s he saying?borque putting the blame where it belongs
sullivan
borque says there is zero accountabilty and the same guys will be out there on thursday likely doing the same thing

Bourque seems to be missing the fact that there's absolutely nothing available for Sullivan to plug in to make a change.
That falls on the GM.
speaking of blueger, that **** effort against lee on the 3rd islander goal will result in nothing other than more teddy bluegerIf I’m Blueger, McGinn, Jarry, et al, I struggle to look the core in the face.

For me, that was Rutherford. Hextall may be a fantasy hockey GM that never makes trades because he's scared he might lose them...? Ya know that guy where you can offer him Draisaitl for Nick Suzuki because you just really like Suzuki and he thinks "you're up to something"...
Hextall is a video game GM.
And you want accountability but what can Sullivan do? Only play the top 2 lines, since they're the only thing that works?
I started slamming a pillow and my wife came downstairs to see what was wrongI'll be honest, I kicked a garbage can over in my kitchen after this one...as flustered as I've been by a regular season game in a while...
This was a wee-wee slam in the car door...

I thought this was a big red flag at the time. I feel even more strongly about it now.
Day-to-day, LBI.I'll be honest, I kicked a garbage can over in my kitchen after this one...as flustered as I've been by a regular season game in a while...

It's literally a Michael Scott move - except hes the GM of a hockey team and not the manager of a fictional paper companyI thought this was a big red flag at the time. I feel even more strongly about it now.
Can you imagine being in that role and not having every single possible scenario/outcome mapped out?
And to be honest, if this was his plan - no wonder he wanted to avoid writing it down.It's literally a Michael Scott move - except hes the GM of a hockey team and not the manager of a fictional paper companyI thought this was a big red flag at the time. I feel even more strongly about it now.
