  1. quite underrated. really solid underlying numbers, possibly the best on the Hawks... Dave Bolland
  2. Luo's latest: "I'm willing to stay, be the back up and play for free if they let me sit in at every Torts presser!" #man #myth #legend. There we have it. Luo is willing to waive a buyout, accept that Schneider has won the starting position, stay here and play for free. Huge new development in the Luongo trade story. Hard to question a potential Tortorella signing if the move comes with that perk.
  3. AV moving into Tortorella's parent's basement....
  4. Ironically, Botchford and Gallagher make Brooksie look like a relative genius...
  5. Just a note of interest: When Tampa won the Cup under Tortorella, they were the second highest scoring team in the EC and 4th overall in the NHL...
  6. If this was truly a Gillis decision, I think it could work. If not, I don't like the implications.
  7. Oh my. Fasten your seatbelts. The idea that the Canucks core players will be afraid of Tortorella is moronic though. Some of the dumbest drivel on these boards. Any decent coach is capable of adapting gameplans - and I sure as hell hope that is the case here, because if the Canucks start playing Rangers (of recent) hockey, I'm going to be shaking my head as long as the experiment lasts. But of course, a big Suck it!... you morons in the Vancouver media. Yeehaaaaaa! Obviously the upside here for the fans. Province scribes gonna be an even bigger sideshow! You are obsolete. Not sure that's much consolation for having to settle for a guy who certainly wasn't at the top of my list, but at least the Canucks waited until the Tippett decision was known, and who knows... it's appears it's time to 'give Tortorella a chance'.
  8. What I don't get is why Sportsnet settles for John Shannon.
  9. Healy also said that Bylsma would make a good candidate for the NYRangers coaching position because the Penguins and the Rangers play the same style/have the same system. And then there's his comment that Datsyuk lacks natural talent but is simply a hard worker. Healy said the Canucks dropped the ball? Perhaps the Canucks aren't playing ball. I personally am not concerned whatsoever. I'd be disappointed if they signed a coach before Tippett's intentions are clear.
  10. if that had come from Gallagher or Botchford I'd book it haha, but Willes...even better. I think the favorite is under contract until July 1st...but imo Tippett is that guy.
  11. I don't think the Canucks are in any rush - I personally expect that it'll be at least the beginning of July before they make a decision - I like Tippet and think it's worth waiting to see what he decides.
  12. Take it with a grain of salt...the sources...make a lot of surplus noise.
  13. I'm guessing you took at least twice as long to think of that, and even more to write it, than you should have bothered to spend on that post.
