It is plain and simple cancel your season tickets and watch this team leave town. I guess it would be better for all you so called fans of the broncos to watch the team leave than go to the game and watch GREAT hockey and take it for what it is worth. "JUNIOR HOCKEY"
No matter what coach we have had people *****, no matter what type of team we have had people *****.
Todd Mcllelan-too defensive
Mcewan-Only played two line
Dean-Bad coach not enough skill
Now Lamb-No toughness,
The WHL is a unique league, there are only soo many young superstars and in this league you have to make due with what you got on your roster. Teams are very unlikely to trade you their superstar for your 3-4 liners. Tough guys are hard to come by these days.
My last point
If the Broncos were to go and make a run at it this year and trade for a tough guy, 2 higher end forwards and a defencemen, what would we have to give up. Richards, Howorko, draft picks, Vause, Blanke. So for this one year we get rid of our youth to help us in 2 years time, not that bad unless you have fans who would not show up to games in 2 years time because the team is no good. In swift we need to be competitive every year to make ends meet, and this year we are sitting 2nd in the EAST right where people had us slated, so why all the *****ing????
I dont get the chance to go to many WHL games anymore, but when I am back in Swift I always try and make 1 or 2 because I love the game no matter if we win or lose, as long as we can go to our little barn and watch great hockey. The Broncos mean a lot to this city so dont take things for granted.
