Why is everything this organization does so laughable?
It took 54 games to decide a 3+ year player is captain material? While declaring that basically every other veteran is a leader including those who play 1 way games that we want basically none of the younger players replicating.
All while still staring a 1st round blowout in the face? Why not want this season to end as quietly as possible? What is there possible to gain from this at this point? You do this in October....the damn season is almost over.

You do this in October....the damn season is almost over. What could Ivan have done now that wasn’t readily available to the team in October to decide that he’s leadership material? It really makes no sense to me doing this now. Also this isn’t specific to the Eagles but teams should have 1 captain and 2 alternate captains. Not every player needs to wear a letter but now a days, it appears they do. Teams don’t just have 3 leaders but you don’t have a slap a letter on all them either, some of the best leaders, I ever played hockey with didn’t wear a letter because you only had 3 to go around. |

Langlois was named Captain to start the season and Ivan was named one of the assistants.
After they traded Langlois they decided to wait before naming a new Captain like alot of teams do, it is what it is it's not that big of a deal.

There's like 5 weeks left in this teams season. Some of the choices....as leaders...are laughable to most who have watched the team all season. It's not about naming Ivan captain. It's about the timing and the amount of players they've labelled as leadership. It feels like a participation award for showing up for some of those guys. If this was a veteran team with a pile of new faces waiting until things settle and you're facing the playoff stretch makes sense. For a young team just hoping to play a powerhouse in round 1 it feels like an effort to distract people from the actual on ice results and how disappointing this group has been including many of the leaders who have been here all season and some who have not showed much leadership. |

Again I think you're reading too much into it but to each their own I'm not in the locker room and I assume neither are you so who the hell knows what's happening behind the scenes If they want to name 1 captain and 22 assistants it's their prerogative I couldn't care less I just want this season to be over. |

Their perogative gets to be criticized when its not producing any results. Its pretty simple. I'll stand by my comment on how embarrassing some of the choices are. And no, i'm not in the room. But that doesn't mean I don't talk to many people who are or are close to people who are. A couple of those choices just further prove how poor the front office seems to be at judging what leadership is at this level. |

A game between 2 bottom feeders that really felt like it on the ice.
There's a real lack of passion here and it just feels to me like our players could care less if they win or lose. I really tried to have a bit of optimism after the trade deadline but this team really hasn't shown anything to suggest any real improvement or culture change.
Management can blame the fans all they want for not showing up to the rink but if the attitude and body language on the ice shows they don't care, why should the fans?

When your Team lacks talent , the Coach should simplify things but I am not sure Goyens does that . I watch his Body language behind the Bench and I don't always like what I see .

Like I said Jack I don't give a shit I just want this season to be over. Not that it'll matter cause Shaw will still be President of the team next year and our Ownership group will still have no idea how to run a proper Major Junior franchise. |

Have no idea who's this guy that they gave a headset to........first of all you have to be able to engage with the crowd and create "fun and energy"......this guy has the most boring voice and has absolutely no delivery!......I have no issue with the on ice product or hockey operations........however some of the game day activities, or whatever you want to call them, leave a lot to be desired. Simple stuff such as "situational music" would be appropriate during various times in a game. Sending out a questionnaire to see what music people want to hear?  ?...really???.....lots of great ideas have been developed, but some of these decisions that are being made are simply, for a lack of a better word, stupid!!! |
