The fact that he has been so quick to throw out excuses and blame everybody else for his failures in Toronto just go to show the organization is better off without that type of personality around their young players. The fact of the matter is James Reimer, Jonas Gustavsson and Vesa Toskala all got progressively worse the longer they worked with Allaire so it's hard to see how he could still have such an absurdly high opinion of himself. I'd rather have a middle of the road goalie coach who can work with any goalie than the "the best goalie coach in the world" (at least in his mind) who can only work with goalies who are perfectly tailored to him and ruin everybody else. - grits207 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 02:07:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4907-september-18-2012#comment-22589 Problem is, at such a high level of the game, players can't not play somewhere and then expect to come back to the NHL without missing a beat. They could practice with their teams, but not playing in high level game situations for a while would erode their skills. - rob2kx Mon, 17 Sep 2012 22:45:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4907-september-18-2012#comment-22588 re: Malkin The reason he didn't make the top ten sold jerseys is because of a little thing I like to call "personality". While he very well may have one, it doesn't translate well into jersey sales. I personally hate NHL players going overseas to take the lesser players jobs away in circumstances like we have right now. I realize that it's a dog eat dog thing and if the guys who lose their jobs to the NHL stars were more talented, then they wouldn't have to worry about a job. I know it's only a temporary thing (very likely anyway) for the NHL player, but it's another players livelihood that he's taking away. Talk about being completely selfish. Seriously, if veteran NHL star Joe Millionaire didn't put away a little something knowing that the NHL could be locked out, then he's just looking out for number one and that makes him a big number two in my books. - The Comish Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:03:45 +0100
