  1. Trotz has been coaching Nashville for a long time and there is a reason for it. He is a pretty damn good coach, otherwise he would've been fired as quickly as Torts. I also remember CDC talking about how Trotz was one of the best coaches in the NHL alongside Babcock. You seem to be the only one here who thinks Trotz is a bad coach. I really hope we do hire Trotz, since he just seems to get the most out of his players.

    You also have to remember that Nashville had that one year where they got Forsberg at trade deadline while Arnott and Kariya played there for a really short time. It isn't like all of them played for many seasons there. You seem to forget that we also had Sundin, Demitra, Kesler, Sedins, Burrows, Samuelson etc. that one year where we got eliminated in the 2nd round. Just because Nashville had a limp footed forsberg for less than half a season, it doesn't mean that they suddenly are guaranteed to win the cup or Trotz is the bad coach because of the lack of chemistry.

    This

  2. Why would he respect the leaders on our team? He seemingly can't respect the leaders on his own team. I'm sure a guy like Bergeron just shakes his head at the guy sometimes.

    Why does everyone here seperate bergeron from the bruins team so mutch? Bergeron stuck his crusty old hockey glove in the mouth of a pinned player in the scf!! If that is bruins respectabel player than WOW what a cancer team

  3. Interesting...

    Have to say if Torts wanted Burr out, I can see why the players turned on him, along with how he treated Lou.

    I get he felt change was needed but he clearly was too much of a bull in a china shop. Sure there is complacency in this group but getting rid of 2 of your best competitors is not the way to solve it.

    The issue with this group is mental not physical, they have talent but have to get their heads straight and some young blood needs to be inserted (ie I'd love to see Shink get a shot if healed next year, his speed, talent and enthusiasm especially could be infectious (he has that Bure love of the game, that can make a big difference).

    As for Burr, people here the more I read, tend to turn on players so quickly, then complain he's overpaid but he was underpaid for 5 years. He is a 20-30 goal guy who plays with a ton of heart, gets in other teams faces, can play the pp (even though he gets no time there, look up his even strength stats folks one of the best in the league), pk etc, and a HUGE playoff performer. This is the kind of player you NEED to win.

    This year the guy broke his foot, comes back, and breaks his face and people bark? He comes back into the season pretty much 1/2 - 2/3 of the way through when the rest of the league is in mid season form physically and MENTALLY (TIMING) and couldn't get on track, take a look at most players coming of long injuries folks, look at how most of them perform, poorly, think a bit.

    If anyone deserved a pass this year it was Burr, he EARNED IT....Thank God MG never moved him, one of the better decisions MG made/didn't make.

    Look forward to all the Burr haters praising him next year when he gets back to a 25-30 goal pace.

    WOW

    This is the best post ive seen on any forum. Thanks for posting i couldnt agree more about Burrows. Hes my favourite player in the world after Luongo and he is the most clutch guy on the team. And with Shink he will be something special ive watched alot of his play and he is gonna rock this league with skill determining and a huge love of hockey. Pretty excited we got him
