Fisto in for Zaumla tonight lets go.

Can't be, Seeler will never be a regular !!

 

[Flyerfan4life]

To do what?

to watch Frost get face punched of course..

Fisto in for Zaumla tonight lets go.

is he ?

i suspected Torts wouldnt keep him out more then 1 game..

Fletch look like a total buffoon if he did

 

[Beef Invictus]

Zamula was making a lot of good exit passes.

Eh, who needs that. Successful exits means less defending, and defending is the point of hockey, right?

Chuck Fletcher when talking about Nick Seeler or any of the other bums on the team.

 

[deadhead]

This will go on the rest of the season.
Risto will get a shot at proving he can play, Zamula's PT will gradually be increased, Braun will be traded at the TDL.

Reading anything into a game or two is a fool's errand this season.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

it really bugs me Torts says he has to give the youth a chance to play and make mistakes and learn..

yet he constantly pulls then for trash vets and berates them by saying he isnt seeing enuf.


grrr... let them play throu it ffs...


jesus ,Torts is 100% NOT what i expected... i really thought he had changed while away from the game.

but if anything hes going f***ing backwards into Dino zone...

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Lol, yeah I remember a few Dmen sliding to block shots and continuing all the away across the D zone. IIRC, I believe the Whalers also wore the Cooperalls for a short time.

But, when it comes to bad NHL gear ideas, those pants pale in comparison to Seals owner Charlie Finley’s plan to use white pucks. That would have been interesting to say the least!

I don't recall the concept of white pucks. His Seals' teams had white skates and that in itself was gaudy. When he owned the MLB A's, he advocated for orange baseballs which, IIRC, were used in exhibition games but not regular season. But white pucks? I would think goalies would have a say in that matter to say the least. Remember, some at the time complained that they couldn't see pucks against the black of the Cooperalls and that was one reason -- among others -- for a return to the traditional uniforms.

Torts challenges everyone.

If you thought the kids were going to get special treatment, then you didn't know Torts. He's trying to get the best out of everyone.

 

[BernieParent]

This is the worst team that has actually ever played in the history of the entire NHL. I'm not watching just going to read a book or maybe watch the masked singer.

Am I doing this right?

The Masked Singer - pandemic season

This season is over. Trade Braun now and bench Seeler to get prospects who should be playing, playing.

That's what you assured us repeatedly would happen. You guaranteed Seeler would be in the AHL and Braun would be the #7.

 

[deadhead]

I guaranteed nothing.
Braun will be traded at the TDL, if not sooner.
Seeler is on a two way contract next year.

All these things will work out, but right now I wouldn't want any more clueless prospects in the lineup than they already have - this team is months away from having developed structure and good fundamentals - not the best environment for developing young players.

I seem to recall reading that lighting conditions in some arenas were poor and pucks tended to vanish into crowds, making life hell for goalies. But surely orange or yellow is a better solution than white.

No, you assured me that Seeler was "AHL fodder" and that Braun would be a perfect #7 and that I was making much ado about nothing when I assured you both would be regulars, blocking prospects.

The very second I heard we play in a "young and dumb league" come out of his mouth I knew he had not changed .

Any more "clueless prospects" . Which prospects are you calling clueless ?

. There are way more vets struggling than prospects . Braun , Risto as well Seeler are having major problems turning the puck over in our own end creating major zone time for the other team . It's the easiest to blame the youth but it's far from the truth . Even the vets that are scoring are out for the most goals against .

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

No Hart In Warmups.

 

[Beef Invictus]

IT BEGINS.

Risto is, by far, the worst player on this roster. And that is impressive in a truly horrible way considering how pathetic this roster is.

IT BEGINS.

If St Louis can’t win this game, the entire team and coaching staff should be flogged.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Zamula not even in the press box, get to the Phantoms kid, this is Seelsy's team

 

[Curufinwe]

No Hart In Warmups.

First Covid case of the season? Or maybe an allergic reaction to the cooperalls.

Zamula not even in the press box, get to the Phantoms kid, this is Seelsy's team

I think York would be a better option right now than Zamula if it meant getting Provorov off PP2.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Someone has to go down (on paper at least) for Ersson to come up and Zamula is the only waivers exempt player not dressed.

How come they didn't just put Atkinson on IR?

 

[flyerslducks]

Hart is definitely sick of playing in front of this team, that's for sure+

 

[GKJ]

How come they didn't just put Atkinson on IR?

Save the cap dollars.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Lol at Torts thinking sitting one game will change anything for Risto.
