It has been terrible for the last few games.....they are both solid goalies in a little slump....hopefully they will turn it around and things will get better in Broncoland.<br /><br />I can't believe that people whose highest hockey achievement is playing senior in places like Abbey, Kyle and Ponteix think they know more than a man who played in the NHL(12 years I believe). These are the same people who yell "SHOOT,SHOOT" during the entire powerplay or think they don't have a system...I am sure Dean says "Let's practice the PP today guys.....do whatever you want!" <br /><br />We have some of the dumbest fans on the planet in terms of their hockey knowledge. I am going to see if the college can offer a course "Hockey for Dummies" to all season ticket holders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-60108394790026152342007-01-30T13:57:00.000-06:002007-01-30T13:57:00.000-06:00You mean I didn't piss you off this time Ernie?

Pay him out till June and give Dave the role till then. No need for a GM now, at least not until bantam draft. Great confidence building in your goaltenders. Come on...that is ridiculous. Anyone who thinks Yonkman and Moir are to blame do not understand the game...sure they have not been as good as they have were early in the season...after all they were the ones that single handedly got us into a solid 2nd place...that is before the WHOLE team took a dive...so who do you blame...a bunch of teenagers...come on, the head guy if he put his ego aside should either step down from his coaching role or be fired...either way you can't blame a bunch of kids for the joke he has become with what he has done with the goalies...it worked once so Dean thinks every time it will work...NOT!! The team is simply saying well, that's Dean...he is going nuts again. Just look at Dean's record of developing goalies, or rather NOT developing goalies...he has no idea. In Seattle he ruined a 4th round NHL pick in Nick Pannoni as well as Ryan Cyr...as them both and they'll tell you he is a goalie killer not a goalie developer. Interesting, in year one there was no pressure on Dean and the same in year two...but now, with is job on the line, he loses it...the real Dean comes out. He has not built a team, the locker, allegedly, is the worst in years, and that is a reflection of leadership...Leadership from the top...from which there is none, at least none that is apparent or displayed. For those of us here who care about our team, it is time to say good bye to Dean...thanks for what you have done (not much) and move on to the next chapter...not much to have to pay him and all things considered, how much worse off would we be. If not, then hope everyone is prepared for another year WITHOUT playoffs...not just a first round loss...some of us still believe, for now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-18488641514820993772007-01-29T19:54:00.000-06:002007-01-29T19:54:00.000-06:00A "drunk pee-wee coach?"

Really...The JAWS theme song is gettin louder boys! Really you guys are being to hard on your team. You must see it by now that they have over-achieved all season (or up until a few games ago). The power plays were even, so why didn't Swift capitalize more at the start of the game? Don't constantly be blaming the refs when your team gives up 9 goals, or be taking personal pot shots at one because he is thin. Ernie I expect more! I said before most reffing is bad across the board in all hockey, and by taking personal shots at ones age or size isn't going to entice many people into doing it. If it is that easy take a course, start at novice and work your way up! I tried it when I was younger and when a drunk pee-wee coach threatened to run me over with his truck, well I had second thoughts!

They were hung out to dry. Its about time we learned to play defence. Too many time over the last little bit we have 4 or 5 human PYLONGS. The opposition comes down skates past all forwards and blows by the defence and shots and scores. Somebody hit them. From what I can see we still have a problem with floaters. Guys have to be willing to pay the price at both ends. We are BRUTAL in our own end. I got faith we can turn it around. Come on guys, you are better than this. Believe in yourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37271484.post-1170089671295767752007-01-29T10:54:00.000-06:002007-01-29T10:54:00.000-06:00I know it's getting from ugly to uglier Jonny, but...I know it's getting from ugly to uglier Jonny, but cut the titles on the blog...it's not THAT bad yet Jonny, c'mon man! Any team can dig out of anything.<BR/>I am not one to be optimistic and try convincing everybody else to be the same, and then not come up with an explanation after a disappointment like last night. So, here goes....don't believe it if you don't want to, it's just my humble opinion....<BR/>I'm never one to bash officiating, but that young gun, Sheldon Dean, thinks he can do whatever he wants. There's a ref with tonnes of experience on the ice in Nathan Wieler, and the baby ref. takes the show. First of all, how old is he? 19, or 20? Secondly, he weighs about 110 lbs or so. He has screwed us before, (namely once in Saskatoon) with his inexperienced, out-of-control antics. I think what he needs, is a 200 lbs. player to collide with him, and hit him so hard he goes down for a while. Maybe then he'd be back where he belongs. Powerplays were 9-2 in favor of Swift after the second....in this league, thre's a magic rule somewhere, that says they will be even at the end.....and BY GOD!!! They were even!!! WHAT AN EXCUSE!!! And at the expense of an inexperienced, clueless little freak. So I say, if there is an experienced ref on the ice looking at the play and doesn't call a penalty, then young Sheldon, SHUT THE HELL UP!! THE FANS ARE NOT WATCHING YOU!!! THEY WANT TO SEE A HOCKEY GAME!! But then, what else have we seen from this league in the last ten years, but horrific officiating.......I dunno...I just don't. <BR/>Secondly, our goaltending needs to step up big time. I have confidence in both goalies, and we are said (or WERE at one time) to have the best one-two goalie punch in the league. MOISSY, YONKS, what is it? 30 shots? Seven games in a row? C'mon! Our goaltending steals games. Last night, it would have had to be just average to win, because the guys scored six times, but c'mon! I mean......we need that big save from one of you! Not everything thrown at the net can go in....that doesn't work!<BR/>The skaters played fine, in my opinion. With the exception of goaltending, I thought the guys did really well to score six, and it's definitely enough to win hockey games. Doyle with four points....WOW! (I already think that trade was a steal.) Levi gets three points, Dale Weise with three, and Leavold gets two. There's points all over the board, what else could you wish for offensively?? I'm not saying the goalies were not hung out to dry once or twice, but even so, we are used to seeing Moir or Yonkman make those saves 11 out of 12 times. The skaters were good last night, in my opinion. It was a game with poor goaltending, and to add some cheese to it, it was screwed up by a young referee. So I say, "C'mon boys, let's get going....Moissy and Yonks, I still believe in you." And we CAN do it! We CAN bounce back! It's a matter of believing in yourself, and getting that confidence back. I strongly believe we can do this! <BR/>Of course on Wednesday, LET'S GO SWIFTY!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
