Thnks Tracker it really looked like with the offseason upgrades that we were on the way.Then reality came crashing down.I gotta hope that the call of Guelph comes through and we start again.If the Lawless report about O'Shea and Bellefeuille being retained and extended is true, it would be the worst news the team and fans have had in decades.LOL!! The hyperbole gets thicker around here by the day...If Bellefeuille is extended I'd love to see you guys paint a pretty picture with that.We can be positive that Willy will get hurt.There ya go a little positivety!Why would we? General concensus here is that he is a huge problem.. I mean really, have you seen anyone actually advocating for his staying??You mean besides MOS retaining him from last year and keeping him here all this year?You know for a fact MOS is gonna can this guy?

Yeah on top of that Anderson always plays well against us. Really don't like the Sens except for Stone. The rest meh.

Uh how bad do we have to be before we get permission to be negative?Less than 5 wins?Just curious.youve not needed permission since day one and now you are nit picking on a post that didnt even say anything to that effect..Ticky tack stuff bud. Ticky tack?Take it easy spuds that's almost cruel

Long as there under some thing when your at the games it's all good

I tend to look at it another way if we were all singing roses about this regime would there be any reason to get better?But I respect where your coming from.

If your win loss record reflects who you retain as an assistant how can it not point to a problem with the HC decision making process?

Mike's playing to win so that'll mean another loss. Wow thnks for the laugh!

Ok I'm curious would you possibly want to see Brohm again?Or are you just stating what you think MOS might do?

I'm really beginning to think Petan should go down to the Moose.They need his scoring and he would get huge minutes.I trust Chevy and Maurice though and I'm sure there is a good discussion what's best for Petan.Just wish we would see more of him.

I don't consider Hutch to be a backup per se more like 1a 1b

Davis should start no?

Play Brian Brohm?Dress Picard?Play 8 or 9 lbs?Not play any of our practice roster people? Or?

All I can say is, from some of the things I've heard, glad he's in Buffalo. Same goes for Kane. Talk about a fleecing. Read the hockey news and all you need to know about Kane and what he thought about this city is spelled out That kinda stuff really chaps my ass. As a rural-MBer, I'm certainly not always a fan of Winnipeg, but I will always defend it against people who aren't from the province who want to **** on it. Kane can get ******...good riddance.Racism bulls hit how come Buff is a fan favourite ? It's called attitude and Kane you have a bad one.

He has always had potential but has never been a good player in the NHL. Maybe being drafted so high has hurt him with expectations. You guys are nuts... never been a good player in the NHL come on now. So you are saying Paul Maurice has zero judgement on talent and he had numerous guys who could of taken that spot on the club and since he is incompetent he simply plugged in Burmistrov because everyone else sucked? I can accept that he wasn't worthy of a early 1st round draft pick knock against him, but to say he's a bad NHL player is ridiculous. Nope didn't say he was bad but his career in the NHL has been avg at best and for a high no. 1 the scoring just isn't there. Good defence but do you draft a first round winger for that?

Maybe Wades not emasculating MOS but pushing him to grow a set in the way he operates re his coaching staff?So somehow this is better?

OK, but if they are back, and you don't take the year off, will you change your handle to backtracker? Touche'- but stay tuned to see.And if they are back and we suck again are you gonna step up and say crap these guys did suck? Maybe change your name to no indeed?Or instead of Mr Dee Mr Duped?

Fantastic analysis! I would just add that you need to give your relatively inexperienced GM and head coach some leeway to make mistakes and correct them. In Walters' case, he needs to enhance/replace the scouting staff. In O'Shea's case, he needs to replace his OC and maybe more of his offensive staff. I think part of the problem with O'Shea has been his deference to his more experienced coordinators, but now that he himself has gained more experience, he should be more confident to pull the trigger on needed changes. I really do think that it's tweaks that we need, not wholesale changes. If you bring in a capable OC (and a left guard), the offense scores more points and stays on the field longer, which makes it easier to play defense, and all of a sudden, you have a playoff team. O'Shea has his flaws, for sure, but there's something to be said for the fact that his players seem very loyal to him, and has created a fair amount of loyalty to the club (see the long-term extensions signed by players this season). That said, I would only give this regime one more year. If they can't improve next year, then it's time to move on. I think I have heard this 15 of the last 20 years: "I would only give this regime one more year. If they can't improve next year, then it's time to move on." Unfortunately this is true. You would think the way some people around here talk about MoS is this guy is a great coach just needs all the stars to align to reveal his genius.

He has always had potential but has never been a good player in the NHL. Maybe being drafted so high has hurt him with expectations.

He has coached the Bombers to a winning record over Montreal and players like all the hugs and kisses he gives them.He is a wizard with film watching too.

You can put Frolik anywhere in the lineup including pp and pk. Makes his linemates better that's a quote from Maurice. Jokinen was the worst free agent we ever signed no comparison. We hopefully replace Frolik by committee Ehler's offence Burmi's defence.

To be replaced with who? Three coordinators fired in 2 years. Who will come here? People that want to keep MOS because we can't attract quality HC's as they get fired yet want MB fired are just kidding themselves. No quality assistant coach will want to come here because all 3 coordinators hired by our brilliant HC will have been fired if Bellefeuille goes. So MB has to stay because no one better will want to be here. This is what happens when you hire crappy head coaches. You have no idea if what you are saying is true or not. Coaches don't go anywhere expecting to have a permanent job. They always expect to get fired at some point. I'll make you a bet, if MB is still here like you say he will be, then I won't come here anymore...otherwise you have to go....a bet?How about instead you bet will MoS be able to get a top notch OC to come here to this mess? They will look how MoS ties their hands with his personnel decisions and dresses 8 Lbs when we sadly lack Rec or oline help and go thnks but no thnks. Or dresses liram and a import kicker who can do all 3 jobs. We ain't getting any decent OC to come here while MoS is here period.
