We'll. That was unexpected. Guess they needed a change

This ain't it Chief

-Doug Armstrong

Stanley Cup victory incoming…

Not surprised. They've been underperforming for a while and he ruined Colton Parayko too. f***ing bastard.

 

[StreetHawk]

He takes the fall for the GM & Owner not signing their captain AP but instead opting to pay Faulk and Krug. Yet, the GM paid Schenn and Paryako into their late 30's. Not sure anyone would expect more out of the Blues than where they are which is a borderline WC team.

Don't have elite talent in any real area of their lineup. Very veteran D core with NTC.

 

[Blanick]

This is a big mistake.

 

[TheNumber4]

Always thought he was really good over there. Guess the Cup shine has worn off?

 

[BlueKnight]

Doug Armstrong should’ve been out the door before Berube

 

[BleedBlue14]

Not sure I agree with this one. But it can’t get much worse

 

[Realgud]

Berube had it, lost it...

 

[Chojin]

Incredibly dumb move. You can't squeeze blood from a stone.

 

[The Red Line]

Wow, he was just coaching like an hour ago.

 

[Blanick]

Blues are spiraling toward a bottom 5 finish. I think anyone not named Thomas/Kyrou need to be made available. Defense needs to be completely reworked. Full scorched earth of this roster. Already have a solid base of offensive prospects, just need to add to the defensive side.

lol!

 

[Satoru Gojo]

DJ Smith somehow outlasts another coach and now one with a cup ring

 

[TLEH]

That Stanley Cup run was pretty wild.

 

[Thallis]

Boooooo we want Dallas Eakins

 

[BuLLeT1291]

Game ended like an hour ago. Guess ownership decided it was a win or literally go home for Berube.

 

[norrisnick]

That's two!

And to quote/paraphrase @Viqsi ...

So we won? That means we won right?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Ottawa should can DJ and sign the guy ASAP. Assuming he'd take the job.

Fixed. Ownership doesn't get involved; everything is trusted to Doug Armstrong because ... 2019. Super Genius. Anything else you can imagine.

Blessing in disguise, dude doesn't have to deal with Bennington anymore.

All of the Vet D have some form of NTC. Lots of term left for all of them. Not ideal.
