  1. Could someone translate this for me please?
  2. My point is that the injuries are due to Torts' system. As Quinn has said...he spoke to the team doctor who told him he was shocked at the number and severity of player injuries this year. Not a single player has played in all 82 games. That should tell you something.
  3. Kind of funny that. Torts was saying the same thing about NY last year (complaining to GM about lack of depth). Guess it's not such a problem for AV now. Did he really state that the bottom guys weren't worth playing? Would that include our most excellent 3rd line?
  4. Wonder how a possible GM will feel about having to always get final approval from the prezzy...
  5. K, so you don't have respect for Sather...what about Quinn and Linden? They're saying the same things about Torts.
  6. Have you not been reading what Sather, Quinn and Linden have been saying about T's system?
  7. More guys with ADD... http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2014/04/canucks-post-game-sixpack-quinn-linden/ and... http://www.northjersey.com/sports/glen-sather-questions-ex-rangers-coach-john-tortorella-s-system-1.679038
  8. So, what you're saying is that there was secondary scoring until all the injuries. This is why people have a problem with Tort's system. Sather, Linden and Quinn have all commented on Tort's not utilizing players effectively, poor management of the bench (wearing out players) and are critical of his communication style with the players. "Conclusion: Linden basically said if Tortorella doesn’t admit to and agree he made huge mistakes, he’s gone, while Quinn compared him to Mike Keenan and disagrees with everything he’s ever done… " http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2014/04/canucks-post-game-sixpack-quinn-linden/
  9. I'm still not convinced that Torts was a Gillis hiring, but it doesn't really matter now. The main point is that Torts is not suited to this team and I wonder what you consider are the 'proper players for his so called style. Gillis certainly didn't have the cap space to bring in a bunch of new players to fit Tort's system.
  10. They'll be back... Be great if they can regroup and end up playing for the cup against the Otters.
  11. Yeah the just kind of collapsed. They still get a pass to the final 4 don't they? Due to being the home team? Hopefully time to regroup. Really want to see them in the finals against the Otters!
  12. Going to be hard to lose to Edmonton, as they are want to lose to get the #2. lol Ehlers seems similar to Shinks, so I think the team picks another player.
  13. So what you're saying is that it will be a battle for both teams to lose... It's gonna be a real barn burner, folks!
  14. Agreed. And why not see how he does on the W? He's a decent passer, which is more that I can say for a lot of the guys right now.
  15. The only reason I've brought this silly thread up again is because I want Nuck fans to pay attention to what Sid is saying here. I've been doing some research on Niskanen and he really looks like a puck moving dman on the rise. He is also a very good PPQB and his numbers (both off and def) are excellent. He's just coming into his prime (27). He will probably require an overpayment, as Pits will want to hold onto him. Another reason that Booth has to be bought out. I really like the idea of improving the back end, while making the top line and PP better at the same time.
  16. That -34 says tells a different story
  17. but...but...what about the draft pick?!
  18. Not a place for a rookie. Put Burr back on,
  19. Does that mean you'll take the bag off your head?
  20. Yeah, especially those nights he was taking 35-40 shots on goal
