The Hawks got tuned by Nas last spring...how does anyone in their right mind think the same wouldnt happen again? Nas has actually improved, and the hawks are...well...LOL

Hawks looked very good. But oilers aside from mcdavid didn't look so good.

It's like Edmonton Management believed Sportsnet and TSN telling them McDavid could win the Cup all by himself because he was that good, and stocked the team with not-so-good complimentary players as a result.

Hey at least Stan was fooled into thinking the schlubs he brought in would figure it out on their own because the core was winning a Cup or three.
I mean if Kane Toews Keith Seabs Hoss et al could turn Bryan Bickell into a Cup winner, it should work with Tomas Jurco right?

So they used the stan bowman plan? Without being a dominant team...and winning 3 cups.

After having to purge the entire supporting cast after 2010. It took Pittsburgh how many years to do the same thing? Who is a better GM in the NHL? Because they ALL make big mistakes. It's the nature of the league.

Stan took a good team and has slowly run it into the ground by exchanging good players for mediocre ones, and mediocre ones for shitty ones.
Was that actually a serious question?

Stan's biggest move was having Petrovic hit Kane from behind...
Hes an incompetent boob

Who in the NHL is a better GM? Certainly not your guy up north.

Jim requests the Montreal Canadiens to be the pallbearers at his funeral so they can let him down once last time.

Stan made some bad moves, but the good team was gonna go south regardless on its own. Hossa would have been 39 in 3 days, Keith is gonna be 35, Sharp is 36, Seabrook is an old 32, Toews is gonna 30, etc. Stan's mistake was trying to keep together the old band when it should have been dismantled after 2015.
