[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] We pause now for a moment of time-honoured Canadianism. The others may ignore or point and laugh. Coaches: Bowman's a bit of an egomaniac. He works fine when he can settle in over an NHL season with a team and is basically the boss. But don't expect him to work well with highly-qualified assistants or snap into a good routine overnight. That said, Quinn's still a useless git. He's a definite weak spot. He sucked in Vancouver, and I wouldn't chalk the success of Toronto to him, either. Goaltenders aside, I can't honestly say any so-called hockey experts would have asked for a different team. The talking heads lined up in adulation over the picks, with the only question mark being Nieuwendyk (who's spited the critics and been one of the better players at the tournament.) Yes, it would be nice to have Thornton, too, but when the selections were announced, he wasn't on the radar. Life's not fair. The problems thus far have nothing to do with talent and everything to do with severe chemistry problems. Considering there was actually some fancy no-look passing vs. the Czechs, I'd say that's made a marked improvement. Goalies, yeah, a mess. Cujo IS overrated, and were it not for Brodeur's play against the Czechs, I'd be less than enthusiastic about him. (Although his puckhandling is a brilliant asset on the big ice.) Belfour's a useless tool except when the pressure's on, so I can sorta grasp the logic of having him. Burke might've been better. But Thibault's got zippo experience when it comes to the pressure being on. Which brings us to St. Patrick. If Roy didn't want to be there, then its for the best he didn't come along. But I still wish he was there. He's the best goalie in the world, but he's also an arrogant asshole. [/QB][/QUOTE]
