  1. Brace yourself, the moral highgrounders and anti-religiousare coming for Booth.

      I cannot wait for next year when the waves die down and all the injured are healthy.

  2. Yes, and it's not the first time I've seen him do it.
  3. I think he's starting to get "it." He's going to be filthy next year. The elusive playmaking winger for Kesler winger, I think we've found him.
  4. What is Quick pitching a bitch about? Kass made a sweet pass and Richardson buried it in the yawning cage.
  5. I haven't seen the Canucks play with this must fluidity to their play since mid 2011/12 season. Where the hell has this been?
  6. Man, that PP was vintage. Too little to late now. There is hope for next year yet.
  7. I got to catch the third period and those two lost d-zone draws stood out to me.
  8. Damn, some vintage Sedin two games in a row. They have either completely disregarded Torts system, or Tors just say "go play, you guys don't need a system".
  9. Pretty clear that at this point in his career Jensen needs a play driving center to thrive.
  10. How can Torts STILL be trotting Edler and Bieksa out there together. It doesn't pass the eye test. It doesn't pass the numbers test. Kill the Edler and Bieksa pairing, damnit.
  11. Umm Torts team isn't a complete abomination teritorially? Carlyle could have a negative puck possession team with Team Canada's roster.
  12. Carlyle. He can't even recognize that his play style requires insane goaltending and special teams to no lose every night.
  13. Watching the re-run of last night's game, and man Bo got schooled in the dot. I'll give him a pass since he's incredibly sick.
  14. Torts is so hard to hate with how well he interviews. That man could sell ice to an eskimo

      When he came in I thought, "He is a good coach but doesn't interview very well." . . . I still believe in the guy but you can't help the sinking suspicion we got Bizzaro Torts.

      I agree, but you also can't argue that he can could talk a nun out of her habit. The man is a smooth talker, matter your hate level, and for that I can respect him.

      No one hates him for who he is. We hate him because he is the antithesis of what the face of this core was when it was successful. He just doesn't belong here.

  15. I sprang for a bottle of Booker's True Barrel Bourbon tonight. This is Beam Co.'s most radical offering and named after Beam Co. master distiller of 40+ years, Booker Noe. Booker's is a cask strength, unfiltered bourbon meaning that it is bottled straight from the cask without any dilution or charcoal filtering, as is standard with bourbon. Booker's has a strong alcohol punch, but there is also some serious complexity to this bourbon that weaker bourbon's do not present because of they have been diluted before bottling. Pretty amazing to think that regular 'ole Beam White Label juice can be this good given 8 years in a barrel, no dilution, and no filtering. This may be the best bourbon I've ever had, then again I haven't tried any of the cask strength offerings by Buffalo Trace Distillery or Heaven Hill Distillery, both of which make a better average product than Beam, IMO.
  16. I understand what you're saying, I'm just skeptical on Torts. Torts is going to have to take a much more measured approach to his coaching next year. Less collapsing in the d-zone, more emphasis on transition, more emphasis on gaining the offensive zone with puck possession instead of dumping it in, more emphasis on the PP. Those are some monumental changes for a guy who seems pretty locked into playing a systemless 'mentality' game. I hope Gillis gets one more year, and I sure as hell hope he has the balls to ax Torts if he is unwilling or unable to make the above mentioned changes.
  17. If MG wants to play a puck possession, attacking game, then it's pretty clear to me that he didn't get the final call on his coaching selection. By the same token, asking Torts to completely change his systems is a bit like asking a tiger to change it's stripes, not gonna happen. As for the comments about how Boston plays. I watch them play fairly often, and they don't just goon it up. Boston dominates puck possession, forces the opponent into mistakes by good transition play, and plays solid defense. In other words, ignoring their ability to get chippy, they play EXACTLY the style of game that is needed to compete in the west, they just happen to play in the east.
  18. Well it's refreshing to hear that some people on youtube actually put out solid information and not just broscience. I am, but it also depends on how aggressive you are with your diet. If you're doing something super aggresive like Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss, you almost completely eliminate carbs for 6 days a week in order to create the drastic caloric deficit. RFL is incredibly effective, but not something you can run for more than 4-5 consecutive weeks without a break. In contrast, if you're going for the more standard approach to weight loss, you'll be better off keeping protein intake the same as during maintenance, and cut calories equally from carbs and fat.
  19. That Nyquist goal. My god, that boy's gonna be filthy
