Give Patrick a Five Year Contract as GM and the reins with a mandate to go win a Cup. He is qualified and we love the dude. If the candy asses in the locker room don’t like it too bad!

Lou has had plenty of time to prove himself in the GM role. His smartest move was Barry! Drafting hasn’t been bad at all Holmstrom Ratty Eiserman etc. Where he has been a complete disaster is the contracts and AAV. He has grossly overestimated this roster. He has no excuses in this area. Putting his son in charge of Bridgeport, talk about a nepo baby. He also surrounds himself with yes men. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t like Patrick! Patrick sent Engvall packing at Training Camp, dude should have never been back. Why was he back, because Lou didn’t want to look ridiculous. Lou should have know Tin man has no heart. Physical talent means nothing if you don’t have pride balls and courage. Love Scotty to death, but you should know better than to sign him to that monstrous deal. Some things are not on Lou. Dobson was brought along perfectly. He only has himself to blame, physically weak and plays a soft ass game. Varley another questionable resign. Hogberg has been fine. I’ll give him credit on Romanov 100%! Lou is not a disaster, but he has made enough moves for us to know he is not the Man. Toews could have been retained instead of Leddy. A GM cannot bat .500!

I don’t see staying on the “In Lou We Trust” Train! It would be absolute stupidity in my opinion. Sure if you want to kick Lou upstairs as an advisor fine. I dont care what you do with him as long as Patrick Roy is at the helm of Hockey Operations.

I am starting to hear Louie’s propaganda leaking out. Sears is trying to put the blame on Roy, too tough, maybe didn’t work on Speciality Teams enough during preseason. Has Sears watched this team!!!! Lou is trying to angle this thing and has people leaking the Roy narrative. Lou is solely responsible for the Roster period. No one could coach this team to a playoff spot. So the Roy scapegoat talk is being spun! Patrick is the only one who knows he gave it everything he had. Malkin has to tell Lou one of two things 1. You’re fired 2. Take an advisor role I’m naming Roy as GM. Patrick is most likely better suited for the GM job. I don’t have a problem with Patrick as Coach. Maybe Benny should take the HC and hire two new assistants. If Lou is leaking the Patrick nonsense he should be out on his ass! Sears is way off base and must of not been watching all season. One of Lou’s birdies is whispering in his ear. Wouldn’t mind seeing Lou his son and some cronies fired day after the season. Louie accept some responsibility dude ! He always scapegoated coaches as a pressure release on him and flawed rosters. His only success here came because the Caps didn’t resign Barry. Barry made a young roster of average guys over preform mostly in the playoffs.
