  1. Brad Richards makes JT look like more of an A hole in every game he plays
  2. Third concussion and two consecutive concussions this season. The last one was a result of hit from behind by that outstanding human being,Milan Puke it.
  3. FA cup final is in it's last five minutes of extra time beats Don Cherry unable to decipher acceptable behaviour.
  4. The width of the Intl rinks weed out marginal skating skills and elevates the importance of stick skill- maintaining possession of the puck. The North American game relies upon and emphasizes brute force to retrieve and possess the puck. I prefer to see skills displayed.
  5. Great to see the respect and love for Selanne. 44 in a few weeks,1500 NHL games and a PPG player. Clean,classy and amazing.
  6. Yeah,let's put Garrison on the worst team in the league and see how he does. The twins were the best in the league with Ehroff.The team was the best in the league with Ehrhoff.The PP was the best in the league with Ehrhoff. The problem is Garrison is not suited to play with the twins.Never was and never will be. The team needed a cerebral playmaker ,not a plugger with a howitzer that never hits the target.
  7. "He began an early morning team meeting by blasting Booth with F-bombs for being late for the meeting. To which Booth, and confirmed by his teammates, said he was actually there 5 minutes early. Torts continued to lay into him for another 5 minutes." I have heard that the concensus is the players despised Tootsie and that would fit in with the fact that Tootsie is a raving lunatic. This man is crackers and his hockey history is full of incidents that illustrate bizarre,unacceptable behaviour. Gillis and Tortorella.What an end to an era.
  8. Lucic doesn't understand the game is over. Maybe after he is traded a few times he won't take himself so seriously.
  9. Garrison and Bieksa are pretty happy with the player of the game. With 4 goals he is up there with the leaders in the goals scored category within the tourney.
  10. This game is over but with so many Canucks (and Hodgson) out there it is hard to leave the boob tube.
  11. Turned on TSN and there was Hodgson dominating the PP on the world stage. Then I went to the stats page online and saw he scored both goals.
  12. We can also assume that Brad Richards wasn't the problem.
  13. Detroit had seven Swedes on the roster when they won the cup in 2008. So much for the Canadian theory, 2008 Red Wings This team featured seven Swedes, including Nicklas Lidstrom who became the first European captain of a Stanley Cup champion. Henrik Zetterberg became the second European to win the Conn Smythe, following Lidstrom's precedent in 2002. The Red Wings have credited the sharp eye of their Sweden-based director of European scouting, Hakan Andersson, for helping them reel in this talent. In addition to Lidstrom and Zetterberg, the Wings drafted Niklas Kronwall, Tomas Holmstrom and Johan Franzen. The two other Swedes, Mikael Samuelsson and Andreas Lilja were signed as free agents. https://www.thepostgame.com/blog/list/201105/stanley-cup-champions-nhl-sweden-russian-finland-usa
  14. Pelle Lindbergh -RIP -was a young phenom. WJC All Star. WJC best goalie. AHL All Star. Three NHL seasons-three All Star game nominations. NHL Rookie All Star. Vezina Trophy winner.
  15. Exactly. Franson,Zetterberg,Backstrom,Lundqvist,Kronwall,Eriksson,Ulf Samuelsson,Alfredsson.... Ohlund,Lingren,Naslund,Gradin,Sundstrom,Samuelsson and the twins. Loved watching Hakan Loob play,Kent Nillson was super-skilled and Borje Salming was awesome(whom broke the NA ice).
  16. Actually,it was an entirely different matter other then "caring" and it was a "big deal" as he was fined ,suspended and now fired.
  17. Hank was injured and played injured. He and Dan were top 10 NHL scorers into December. Burrows had a zero year and Burrows is the third man on the first line. Torts lost the team when he lost his mind,while reverting to his true mean. The loss of Santo highlights the lack of secondary scoring. When Hank went down Kesler and Dan went MIA. No surprise. Gillis was a goof,Torts was inexcusable.
  18. Gillis showed how inadequate he was as a GM with the Torts hire. Torts is going to have a hard time coaching in the NHL ever again. Men that scream and denigrate players ,other coaches and fans have no place in society ,never mind a prominent public position.
  19. The nutcase is gone. Excellent. I am feeling good vibrations.
  20. Successful Canucks player/President with successful new Canucks GM will have consulted with present asst. Canuck GM's and players to determine Torts' future. I am hoping for an eventful summer.
  21. 5 goals for $6m. He'd better bounce back next year. Not that I am remorseful as such but his lack of production didn't help Gillis any.
  22. Let him play the nine games in the big league but keep the young man in junior. At his age and with the center position chock a block full on the Canucks there is no point in rushing the kid. I would rather see Gaunce play or Schroeder be given a chance to be played and then traded.
  23. Taking pucks to the face "for the team" is not what any coach should be encouraging for any player at any time under any circumstances.
  24. There is always the entertainment factor we would be missing: No Torts swearing at reporters. No Torts rolling eyes behind bench. No Torts losing what lays behind his eyes on multiple occasions. No Torts throwing his players under the bus and insulting them. No Torts insulting his GM while covering his rear end. No Torts.....
