  1. Can't say that I believe Torts can...But moreso, I actually Torts could right the ship here....but one area he really needs to adjust outside of what you mentioned is showing frustration. AV was emotionless and that was bad but shaking your head, putting your head in your hands, showing that frustration with players is not good on the bench. Keep it inside, deal with it in the room, emotion if its anger to get the team awake sure, showing the kind of 'defeated' attitude he did on many nights does nothing to help a team. Its for that reason I am bothered by him more than anythng
  2. actually it doesn't matter what I say about how I know him bc you and many others wont accept it. I however do and know the reality, like it or lump I shared it so choose to accept it or not. If you can't accept that the GM of this team is making the GM decisions that's fine...good for you. I know he is
  3. Dude speculating about this is useless Simple reality that many of you conspiracy theorists, delusional cdc'ers can't accept/MG apologies MG is the GM plain and simple he makes the decisions End stop.
  4. I really find it amazing that everyone blames acquilini for the problems and not the gm when NONE of you know who makes the decisions....just same media bs MG makes the decisions, he's the GM accept it....make up whatever you want about acquaman, I've met him and spent a great deal of time talking to him about the nucks, he loves the team and cares very deeply for the team, as much as most fans on here, and is not a 'meddler' I could tell from the conversation.. Its a nice excuse for MG that's all
  5. Right now we are in 9th spot draft wise Ottawa is on point behind with a game in hand Winnipeg tied in games 1 point behind Carolina 2 pts back with a game in hand Nashville 2 pts back with a game in hand Now I dont like the idea of tanking, but seriously, play the young guys, put Markstrom in net and maybe we end up with 6th pick! 6th pick with a prospect can easily move us up, with a vet maybe get us top pick Buffalo sucks and they want youth, move our sixth, gaunce and hey even throw in hansen and get us first Buffalo still has 6th overall pick, will they care too much? I doubt it if you are getting a quality prospect and a decent vet who needs a change. We then draft Reinhart, center of the future done
  6. Zack Kassian 66 gp 13 goals 12 assists -5 Barely an PP time, and majority of ice on the 3rd/4th line Cody Hodgson 63 gp 16 goals 20 assists -24 First line Plays all offensive situations PP etc Amazing how the haters never talk about this trade. I for one am not a fan of Gillis, didnt like the timing of the trade when it happened but never once thought Kassian wasnt going to develop into something Kid is on pace for a 40-45 pt full season from a third line spot....improved defensively, using his body well now, can skate better than Coho, has just as good hands if not better. And he's only 23... He should get a bridge, 3 year deal 1.5, 1.75, 2mil
  7. Zack...tie up your helmet and put on a visor please....2x in a game...
  8. How does Nolan get Latvia to play like superstars and NHL'ers don't play for him?
  9. He seems to have chemistry with Mattias...I think they should stay together, unless Henrik is out of course...
  10. want to use comparables? use ones that are 'comparable' thanks for not using your brain
  11. Zack Kassian is making a mockery of Cody Hodgson Hey Kassian Haters... THAT is why that boy is going to be a beast 1. Defensively, beneath the circle 2. Takes the puck up ice, outskates the backcheck 3. Tough enough to fight off a guy on his back 4. Makes a GREAT pass, his 4th assist of the night now haters can all shut the hell up! Yoooo! Zacko!
  12. yep....Hodgson just wanted ice so he could rack up points without playing defensively and get a nice big 2nd contract goal achieved now he can play his soft game....amazing how he isn't noticable without moulson and vanek
  13. Kesler is not Stamkos, Kopitar or Seguin, or Toews offensively man
  14. Yup Kassian has more battle, cares more, has better speed, can clearly pass as well, is bigger, and can score Kassian will be the better player in time....alot of CoHo whiners don't get it...Kassian will develop into something amazing...because he has as much skill, has better wheels and cares
  15. Philly is deeper down the middle Horvat between Daniel and Kesler makes a ton of sense...if he's ready of course. But if he is, he gives the team alot of optionality. Burrows Henrik Jensen Daniel Horvat Kesler Matthias Santo Kassian Higgins Richardson Hansen that line up makes sense friend
  16. Yes and it prevents his line from being offensive...he can play as well defensively from the wing...and Horvat is a big kid who can skate...that by itself creates problems for opposing centers. If Horvat is going to be our next number 1 or 2 its better to start him where he needs to learn. Kesler is likely gone anyways. Reality is Kesler is a great 3rd line center, but only a decent 2nd liner because he can't pass and is a head down straight to the net player. What makes him valuable as a 2nd line center is as you say his defensive play, however your second line ALSO needs to be a scoring line. There is a reason there has never been wingers who can play with Kesler, because he doesn't help his wingers out, he is a selfish player...primarily because he is not a good passer. He is better on the wing, plain and simple, unless he's playing 3c for the reasons above.
  17. I like that Jensen is not scared to shoot with the Sedins My concern is the twins are back in their 2 man game...with Burr Jensen was being used more.....split the twins
  18. actually no...you can play as well defensively from the wing...a center needs to make his wingers better by controlling the puck and distributing 90% of this fanbase has never played hockey
  19. Why not? who better to learn from? and Horvat distributes better....Kesler is a winger. are you the only one in the world who doesn't get that?
  20. ooopsie Booth farted and hurt himself again
  21. reaaaaally glad we're simply making our draft pick worse by winning its called leaf disease suck yourself out of the playoffs, then with 3 weeks to go start winning only to ruin your pick
  22. Have to say...it appears as though the problem on the first line is Daniel and missing Burr Next year needs to be Burr / Henrik / Jensen Daniel / Horvat / Kesler (traded player) Matthias / Santo / Kassian Higgins / Richardson / Hansen
