It's no different anywhere else. These kids are under a microscope. They know that. Doesn't matter what level of hockey. Did you read what was said about the world junior players? Social media is something as a player you can't take seriously. Use it as a reason to prove people wrong. Not sure what bubble you live in, but doesn't matter the age, these kids will be judged on performance. That's just sports. Yes by a bunch of people who have no idea about what these kids go through. Maybe if you were judge on family life,job,appearance by a bunch of people who don't know you maybe you might give these kids a break. And if you are an eagle fan like your name suggest maybe you would give the kids the benefit of doubt critize the ones making the big bucks and are screwing up not the kids

And if you are an eagle fan like your name suggest maybe you would give the kids the benefit of doubt critize the ones making the big bucks and are screwing up not the kids These guys are playing major junior hockey and 100% should know that they will be criticized and put under a microscope no matter what as that is a part of sports. As fans and paying customers we have the right to criticize the product we are receiving. These players are expected to be and are treated as professionals. The time put in for practice, community events and games is all part of playing the game and it doesn't really make much sense to say that because they're getting a lot of ice time throughout the week they can't be criticized. Any off-Ice issue that will seriously affect a players play should be brought up with the staff and the player should receive time off or help coping with the issue. Language barriers, education management, and media are all things the player knows of when getting into the league so thats not a good excuse. I also don't see what any if us playing at a certain level has a thing to do with it. Can I not say John Scott is garbage because I've never suited up for an NHL game? I see people say stuff like that all the time and it makes 0 sense to me.

Say what you want about professionals I couldn't care less. Al I am saying is the player bashing that goes on here is probably worse than for any other team. And these kids are being paid a dollar or two an hour

And these kids are being paid a dollar or two an hour Every forum has negative comments calling out players if they are playing bad. I'm sure the players themselves know when they had a rough game. I don't think many on here take it too far bashing individuals (except maybe the coach). It might seem worse here cause the last number of years haven't been to kind to our fans.

I'd give him a B- like the acquisitions up front but thought we needed 1 more top 4 D that would have pushed MacIntyre to the third pairing. I like that Dumont didn't mortgage the future but I would have loved to put an end to the Bowers situation. I don't think the Bowers situation is a mid-season deal. That's the type of thing that gets done at a draft. (took it here so as to not make the GM thread about Bowers lol) You have to decide on whether to take the comp pick before the trading period opens up. So the Bowers situation could be resolved before the draft if they decide to cut ties.

i understand that, im only saying what i said so people understand what these players go thru....and people can be critical even tho they havent played high level and are fans of the game and have great knowledge but just understand the pressures on these players....they have made it this far for a reason....we have all been to critical...i just saw alot of bashing here and i reflected on things i have said and looked at it from the point of view of players, parents and billets.

hopefully a deal can be worked out with a team that wants him that has a higher pick than a 9th!

Guess we got our backup ... He could become your starter if Dumont claims Deluca off waivers ... just a suggestion.

Yikes. What are we getting with Macallum? We're his 5th team of the season ? Is he a serviceable back up or someone we hold our breath with?
