[The Hockey News] Eeli Tolvanen Enjoys fit in Seattle after mixed messaging in Nashville

    Lots of Tolvanen quotes but my favourite is “I always knew that I had the skill and all the details that they wanted,” Tolvanen said to The Hockey News on Friday. “But you know, I was just getting bottom six (usage) on the fourth line. I felt like if I would have gotten a better opportunity this year, it could have paid off.”

    This quote from Matt Duchene might help explain why Cole Smith continues to get minutes while Eeli was waived:

    “So it’s all about fit. Different coaches have different preferences and different things they’re looking for. Different guys fit a different style of game.”

    If that’s not an indictment if both Poile & Hynes, I don’t know what is.

    Tell me you hate John Hynes without expressly telling me you hate John Hynes.

    Wanted Tolvanen to say: “Lizard man is an idiot and wouldn’t put me in a position to succeed”.

    This team is so incredibly frustrating and I cannot stand the fact that Poile gets a free pass and auto renewal because he brought hockey to Nashville 25 years ago.

    It’s been a quarter century and this 72 year old GM has only managed one appearance in the Stanley Cup finals.

    How much more charitable goodwill are fans expected to have at this point?

    Will ownership just continue sleepwalking through mediocrity until their numbers take a dive? That’s bad fucking business.

    I’ve been to Seattle. It’s honestly a great place. There’s a comic bookstore in Pikes Market that is STACKED with everything. Got to take the ferry, & also visited the daybreak cultural center (might be off on the name a bit) to sing at a powwow taking place there. The entire trip was fucking sweet
