I understand you're upset, but you need to chill the **** out. Yes, the IcCaps are playing like glorified crap right now, but the Marlies are arguably the strongest team in the league. The team is more or less the same as it was last year, and in a league that is constantly in flux due to the NHL, that can be seen as a bad thing. Another thing, the Jets are only one year removed from Atlanta. Atlanta's mark is all over the farm club and the main club. It takes time to build a club identity.

Gagnon cannot be released...you cannot simply release players in an NHL contract. From what I understand players have to accept an ECHL demotion, you cannot assign them there unilaterally like the AHL. Never the less, Gagnon is depth that is needed in St. John's right now.
Paul Postma may get flack for this defensive awareness, but the fact remains he was 2nd on the team in points. Not among defensemen, but 2nd overall. You need guys to put up offense from the bluelines. Regardless, you won't have to worry about him "losing games" for you anymore, he is up in Winnipeg to stay, at least for this season.
The team is not playing well...meh. Their job is to develop prospects, not win games. So long as a steady stream of players are coming to Winnipeg from the system, that's all they need to do. Winning games is not a priority, but a mere bonus. If that's not your cup of tea, you should probably find some other entertainment.
Team should improve at least somewhat next year with some new talent coming in, if that's any consolation. But at the same time I am hoping they won't knee jerk and bring in AHL veterans to push quality prospects out of the way. I want what Manchester is, filled with NHL potential playing key roles while being moderately successful. Hopefully we see it in St. John's in 2-3 years.

In short, chill out.
Lowry, Sutter, Saponari and Yuen should add some punch. Not to mention the continued development of Sol, Melch, Telegin and O'Dell. TNSE is committed to building a strong AHL team too.

Huh? I can't understand you...
Question... how many of those players on the IceCaps were drafted by TNSE???? hmmm?

They already have a solid group of veterans. The lack of talented youngsters is hurting them now.
Coach has them out chancing opponents in 2/3 of their games and their puck luck issue have been well documented. This is a down (unfortune) year, not an indication of what is to come.

It is beyond embrassing we have lost 7 in a row at home.Gagnon has been beyond terrible.
I get developing prospects but guys like O'Neill,Sol shouldn't be playing.They can't play at this level at least not right now.
I'm sorry if i want my team to win and not be embrassed every night .
IceCaps might keep two points at home today, an early sunday game with the home side needing it much, much, more than the Marlies who are still rolling through the league.

Give the people of Mile One a win today.
That's all I ask is for a win in general. Or we must lose all games in the name of "prospect development".

Go explain that to the people at Mile One.No silver lining for this terrible season.Sell out streak is still in tact for now..
No excuses for no heart,compete etc.Rather develop prospects in a winning environment.
I think Holden's comment was a bit harsh. After losing the Jets 1.0 for many years and inheriting the Moose, most of us understand the fine balance between supporting the parent NHL team and wanting a hard-hitting, talented and winning team locally. I am certain TNSE wants to build a winning affiliate in St Johns and is as surprised as the rest of us that the Caps have fallen off a cliff. Be patient and you will be rewarded (the Chipman motto).
We feel your pain and, hopefully, won't have to endure similar frustration in Wpg this season...but you never know.

I agree Scelaton. Getting on TNSE or Zinger for lack of AHL success in year 2 seems ridiculous and childish. Especially when some people wanted to use some of the AHL moves to disparage TNSE as only caring about their AHL team. Which is it? TNSE is terrible because they only care about their AHL team, or they're terrible because they don't care at all? Jebus.
Give them time to actually build a team before complaining.
quickest goal in franchise history
