It’d be 100% Bobby Valentine sideshow type season - I’d sure as hell watch. Too bad Sweeney’s been pulling rabbits out of hats and pieced together a legit contender.

That man makes me laugh. Truly. Does that make me a bad person to say that?
Torts has been flat out insulting his own players publically since before he arrived in Philly. It's a unique strategy, that's for sure, and if nothing else it's going to be fascinating seeing how it all plays out.

It's ridiculous that not only are the ads switching during the course of play, but some of them have an animation while switching. NHL needs to do something about switching the entire dasherboard ad during play. Hard enough to follow hockey on TV as is.
People saying this is like soccer ads aren't factoring in a couple things. 1) Soccer ads look a lot smaller in scale since soccer pitches are large compared to hockey rinks. Dasherboards figure much more prominently in terms of pct of space showing up on the TV screen, and 2) Many times in soccer matches the camera zooms in on the pitch where you cannot even see the ad boards. NHL games the dasherboards are pretty well visible the whole telecast.
Bottom line, cut out this animation and switching of ads during gameplay crap.

I have looked at all 3 feeds - NHL N, San Jose and Nashville and all are running different ads
Bruins fans are going to 'love' the Sullivan Tire animation

I wonder how this will go with the fans. They are known for being brutal to their team, maybe they will identify with Torts or maybe they will be upset, they can say those things and boo their players but a new coach cannot. It will be fun to watch. I wouldn't be surprised to see them jump the glass to get at him...lol

Looks like they cut Cam York… because apparently their defense is stacked?

Kevin Hayes is a pretty no nonsense sort of guy who's been through more than enough lately. I can see him wanting out if things get too ridiculous. Whether anybody will be willing to take on his quite sizeable contract is another matter.

Considering this isn't the first incident he's been involved in, a suspension is warranted and ultimately, he is released.
Absolutely sickening.
I can't believe how some on the main forums are literally tripping over themselves defending adults being attracted to kids in high school. Utterly sickening.

I don't see how they don't back away from this at PayPal speeds.
