If Jim's replacement is a 1st timer, we really know who makes the hockey decisions for the team.

Yes.

I've got a suspicion that Jimbo's gone the day after the last game. The team's spiraled completely out of control, and this is how Aquilini will attempt to put out the flames.

2hrs long..

Distractions are impossible this day in age.

Welcome to clown world dude.

I'd like to see Tryamkin back in the NHL, he's a deterrent for sure. The times he did mix it up when in defense of a team mate, he wreaked more havoc than I think I've ever seen any Canuck ever, in short bursts. He doesn't like it, and it's a good thing that he doesn't do for the rest of the league heh. The code is alive, there just needs to be an emotional spark that fuels it. Mindless staged fights were the bane of what physical violence in hockey truly solves.

Someone needs to smash Liljegren, 'then' the code is even. That kid's shoulder to Motte's face was at least as egregious, and considering the circumstances with both headshots, and the fact that we play them again next game.. even worse. He's a tool, and should 'answer' the bell. Will he? I have my doubts personally.

It's all been deleted, though I'd be willing to bed a whole bunch of people saved the images. Twitter sucks ass period, and one tiny reason is that it allows you to only post 240 characters. It's actually designed to quell speech heh. Anyways, people just post pictures with huge paragraphs embedded to bypass this nonsense. OP on twatter was 'pictures' of the story. Sounds like someone lying, digging for gold, or was rejected to me, especially now that the OP has been deleted. Oh, and the Scooby meme someone posted is funny as hell too, but we really shouldn't perpetuate this any further until someone involved comes out.

They won't defend anything, they'll just do it. And fine anyone that bitches.

Sit back and relax with your sleep specialist at the Mike Gillis Country Club™.

He basically played like Loui Eriksson the whole game. Hashmarks to hashmarks, very little over commitment. Biggest critique: average or even below average foot speed, and a lot of coasting back up ice.

No one will.

You spelled organized crime wrong, dude.

I have a theory about it which entails attrition. If you don't engage physically you are less likely to get hurt. Take out (most of) fighting, and defensive zone crashing, and the chances are you will enter the playoffs (if you make it with this crappy sytem), less injured. I'm 99% convinced that THIS is why the system's employed. It's a type of catch all idea into which anyone can be plugged, and well, that part of it has merit. With that said the problems with it are myriad, and in the end its nothing more than statistics played out on ice.

Keep in mind that this is the passive 'system' incarnate. Encouraging shots in order to get the puck back may sound okay on paper, but.. in reality it's awful to watch at times. And if your goalie doesn't stand on his head, it's game over before the game's even begun. Clearly he doesn't give a single $&!# about metrics or any traditional analytics when it comes to D zone systems, or hell, even what the fans think of the hot garbage he puts forward as 'entertainment'. Remember this.. this is supposed to be entertainment.. are you entertained???? In Green's defense, the passive system is designed to befuddle a single opponent a single time, before the team moves onto the next. The moment any team has time to adjust from game to game, ie, this season OR the playoffs, it's going to be eviscerated, especially against puck possession/pursuit teams like Vegas. Fans should be disgusted that this is the best idea with which he could come up, and it reeks of incompetence. It also reeks of stubbornness and unwillingness and or inability to adapt. Towards the end of the really bad stretch this season, the last game of their road trip in Toronto (whenever that was.. Feb?), you could see a spark of life in the team, and I for one distinctly remember that game as an aha moment because, get this, the team was taking the man in the D zone, not just figure skating in the middle of the ice. I honestly have no faith that this was the coaching, because they immediately went back to the collapse once they were back home, but the players organically did what they had to break Green's self induced funk. People may $&!# on you here, but dude, I'm sick to death of what this guy brings to the table too.

I'm just hoping he has a gentleman's agreement with the Krackheads.
