It's time to spite "loyalty" and "nostalgia" by moving on, via trade and/or retirement. Thornton and Marleau are both UFA's for 2017-18 so I believe trading isn't an option.

On one hand, I admire his ability to power through these things. On the other, he's endangering his future health far more than any sane person should. I've long wondered if torn knee ligaments for hockey players aren't as big a deal as they are in other sports. I remember Dany Heatley's knee injury only keeping him out like 3-4 months of the season instead of ending his season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, to be young again. Through all of that, though? You are kinda right. I'm going to pretty annoyed if Jumbo doesn't decide to hang em up and comes back to hobble through yet another season. Marleau can kick those same rocks, too. For as big of "Legends" as they are, they've both completely worn out their welcome. Theyre the last team I like who hasn't won a title yet and all this blueballing has gotten me incredibly frustrated. If they were struggling around .500 all year, I wouldn't have cared as much. But that team, when healthier, should've beaten the Oil and at the very least, push the Ducks to a full series. I'm still annoyed at what happened but hey, you got to go through hell before you get to heaven. Also, I was out drinking fancy cocktails for my anniversary and that was when the fancy ethanol kicked in before bedtime.

I've wanted a rebuild for a long time, and "Jumbo" Joe's retirement/trade to a contender plays a big part in that. He's probably headed to the Hall of Fame, and the Sharks will probably retire #19. His legacy is set, and he doesn't need to painfully drag himself through the rigors of a hockey season. The same goes for Patrick Marleau and the other Sharks old-timers. It's time to spite "loyalty" and "nostalgia" by moving on, via trade and/or retirement. I felt the same way and then 2016 happened (how many times has this been said in the last 6 months... sheesh). I agree that it's time for Jumbo but I'm not sold on Patty yet. He's still got speed and a wicked shot that he can do some damage. I'm more worried that if Jumbo goes, Pavs will decline since they've got that insane passing connection. Am I stupid to think that they still are in their Cup window? Have I lost my mind completely?

Unocal Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 This Pens/Caps feels a bit like Chicago/Vancouver 2011- two straight series losses against their nemesis with these current cores (The 1991-2001 playoff series were with completely different rosters). if not now, when? I could also analogize this to Boston/Montreal back in the day- if you think WSH's 1-8 playoff record vs. Pittsburgh is bad, the Bruins lost 18 straight playoff series vs. the Habs from 1946-1987.

OnWis97 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That Wild logo is really suited for the "golf" troll. I don't know that I'd ever seen that (though I am sure someone here must have done that over the past few Wild being the Wild playoff runs). Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Sport Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The Wild, Sharks, and Blackhawks may be the best suited for the golf troll. The others are stretches. I can't think how to do a goof on the Leafs or Habs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
