Confirmed with Link: NYR claim Cody McLeod

[FireGerardGallant]

He played 2 more 5v5 minutes than Nash tonight.

That's disgraceful. I guess after the trade deadline we know whose playing on the first line with jimmy vessey!

 

[Inferno]

He played 2 more 5v5 minutes than Nash tonight.

He played more than 10 minutes total in a game with the Preds once this season. Back to back games with 12 minutes with us @SA16

I'm tired, man. Tired. Tired and angry.

I'm with you man...this is just....sickening.

 

[BBKers]

Nash is gonna get dealt. I think to San Jose. They are almost stupid to play him at all to get a return half decent. McLeod is the worst deterrent I have seen

Just so predictable. AV does not understand that if you're going to have a player like this in your lineup (which you shouldn't) they at least should get extremely limited minutes. Instead he just gives them a regular shift.

 

[Thirty One]

He appears to really hate Austin Watson. That was mildly entertaining at least.

If he played limited minutes, obviously 6 guys would have been concussed instead of 3.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

So, over the all star break people were trying to put an acceptable spin on picking up McLeod, saying he fills a need, he’ll protect Lias/Chytil when they get called up, team needs more fire and he’ll be a spark plug, he’ll only play limited minutes, etc.

Anyone... anyone at all... want to justify McLeod being here after all the deterring and protecting he did tonight? Pitiful.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

this guys a bum waive him. id rather trade a 6-7 pick for TANNER f***ING GLASS then play this pile of shit

This thread shouldn’t be bumped.

Who cares?!?!?!

Titanic sinking and we are debating what silverware we should use.

Let
It
Go

 

[eco's bones]

From reading Sean Avery's book---this is what Scotty Bowman told him when he was a rookie. 'Never get in a fight when the team is ahead'. It makes sense and really why would Watson want to go with someone he probably wouldn't win against when his team was ahead?

 

[17futurecap]

He probably took the cleanest hit from the Preds tonight in the 3rd from Emelin, which is hilarious.

Should be waived tomorrow, with Nieves and Vinni called up and getting consistent minutes.

It speaks to a bigger issue.

Even if the whole ship is sinking, the professionals in charge of this team should be giving me a fork to eat soup with.

I agree w that sentiment I do... but there are much more egregious issues.

No one will even remember this guy in two weeks. Who. Cares?????

 

[NYR]

Well..I was on board with this signing initially but now?
Not so much..

People are just annoyed by the principle of it. It’s just a microcosm of the ineptitude of the organization.

 

[SA16]

The point is get players who make the team better. Not worse.

 

[Nopuckluck]

I was on board for bringing him on to fight and protect. Tonight was his chance and he didn’t. I’d cut him tonight

It's just that this is something we've seen with the club over, and over, and over under AV. Its outdated in its philosophy and unjustified. You're absolutely correct that in the grand scheme of things it won't matter, but it's just a reminder of the bullshit that's been going on here for years.

 

[haohmaru]

He's a real deterrent - 3 concussions and counting...

 

[Inferno]

Yes in retrospect we can analyze anything...in general what people think immediately shows what their understanding of the situation is....

Goons.....don't.....stop....cheapshots.

They don't protect anyone.

They don't intimidate anyone.

They don't help your team score goals.

They don't prevent the other team from scoring goals.

One day our moronic organization will understand these basic ideas.

 

[Inferno]

If you want to not be soft there are plenty of ways to do it
..and I'm all for it.

First...you finish every check...something we like never do.

Second...you don't let cheapshots go...if someone cheapshots you...your whole team needs to be all over that guy. Take the penalty and kill it.

Its a team thing...not a one guy thing. The toughest teams without a goon will always intimidate the crap outta soft teams with a goon.

Its a mindset and a coaching thing.

Av preaches soft hockey
..that's ok...that's what he preaches

..but effing stick with it...putting a God damn goon in the friggin lineup does nothing except make 25% of your lineup suck.

To balance out the minutes makes it even further obvious that this coach is an idiot and unquestionably one of the 5 worst coaches in hockey...as I've been saying for 3 God damn years now.

 

[Ail]

Honestly as horrible as Tanner Glass was, when someone on the team took a hit, he tried in his own Tanner ways to stick up for them. He never deterred a damn thing, but he at least tried to get in someone's grill and I will always credit him for that. He would have been more effective last night and he's not nearly as tough as Loady Mclod.

Not an excuse but he clearly didn’t want to fight anyone on his old team . Also McLeod is clearly a filler body as a lot are going soon

 

[gorangers0525]

Rangers seem to be dropping like flies to cheapshots since they added this bum. Probably no relationship to that, but just further proves there is absolutely no where in the NHL for players like McLeod, and there hasn’t been for a long time.

And he’s not even providing any extra entertainment...waive him a give one of the many AHL players that are more talented than him some NHL experience.
