It's a shame they fired Cunneyworth a few hours after he got the GM job!
 
I understand Cunneyworth may still be an assistant coach or something like that?  Did anybody here anything on that front????

Bergevin game him back his old job as an assistant.  That's doesn't mean he'll still be around come the start of the season.  Whichever coach he hires may have their own ideas who they want as assistants.


I would hope they keep him.  He got handed the job under some terrible circumstances and I don't think it reflects his ability to coach.

Good to see LA win. As Sens fans know, you can't go very far without consistent goaltending. Elliot started to play, well, like Elliot.... Those 5 hole goals this series made me shiver. He still can't keep his stick on the ice. This series is a prime example of how a team shuts down without it's goalie.

Now all it will take is for NY and LA to get to the Cup and it will be Gary Bettmans wet dream of a lifetime season... Arizona goes deep, hardly any Canadian teams in the playoffs and a NY vs LA final.... I think he will have a heart attack.

Not a surprise.  He's got it "made in the shade" with London, a team he co-owns.  I think he's likely more comfortable as a junior coach than with the pros.  And he's not the first one.

SO is Rupps sucker punch on Brodeur excusable?


Fine worthy?


Does the fact that Brodeur "sold it" detract from the actual punch?


Just curious about every ones opinion,.

Didn't see the game but looked it up on youtube.  Not nearly as big a deal as I was led to believe.


Is that what qualifies as a punch these days?

You can't make a trade if you're still playing. Once you're out, you can trade.

Besides, how could trades happen at the draft if there was a freeze until July 1? ;)

Ya sorry I meant the draft... Not July 1st...


Side note, Bruins fans must be pissed with Thomas...
5 mill cap hit so he can take a year off, and when/if he comes back he is UFA.....

Perhaps the fans will be pissed but I'm not certain about the team itself.  And I wonder if he will return after a year off....particularly if there is any kind of work stoppage.  I think there's more to his reasoning (including the July 1st lifting of his no-trade conditions) for taking a year off than "family, friends and faith".   :smily677:
