Ahhhhhh nice try

Can’t wait til they raise the “tried hard and were tough to play against” banner next fall.

Did you see the video of guys breaking down why he got scratched? It's in the roster thread I think. It's full of those types of things from him.

On one end of the spectrum you have chasing hits for their own sake and opening up plays because you do. On the other end, you have refusing to make a hit to the point where you're not even participating in the game.

Both are bad.

I'm behind, but its frustrating that Kevin Hayes never throws a check or gets to a dirty area...im not trying to sound like a dino but seriously theres a sequence with 14:45 left in the 2nd period where the puck goes into the leafs zone, and hayes just peels off the play when it goes to corner on a play he could have likely come away with the puck or atleast made it more difficult for the leafs to control it.

He's a big guy, use the body.

Hayes is a crumb bum.

Luckily we have guys who do both. Our Tank is not only strong, but well balanced as well.

I am not currently watching this game but i did listen to some of it on my way home from work. Saunders and Coates both sound a little bit more dead inside than i remember. I guess being subjected to every single game by this team will do that to you.

HAYES YOU FAT f***ING SLOB

 

[BiggE]

You can hear the gears grinding when Hayes tries to think

Play the circus music!

 

[BiggE]

It’s like the Leafs are playing an AHL team.

 

[Beef Invictus]

That Tortorella shell just gives elite talent all the room they need to score.

FROSTY

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

I was browsing other threads and didn't even realize this game had started at 2. I used to care much more, but that stopped during the Honkdork era.

Go team.

 

[Beef Invictus]

A sick TDA pass

 

[BiggE]

Good for Frost

 

[BigToe]

That’s a disgusting pass

5 takeaways from Fletcher's press conference amid Flyers' frustrating start

Chuck Fletcher gave Alain Vigneault a breather and took the mic. Here are five takeaways from the general manager's press conference amid the Flyers' struggling start. By Jordan Hall

Fletcher was quick to claim that the Flyers' power play struggles preceded the current staff.


"It's interesting, we haven't had a good power play since '14-'15. That’s the last time," Fletcher, who was hired in December 2018, said. "I think it's six years, seven years — we've had a couple of 14th-place finishes, 17th, 18th, 24th.


"Power play since I've been here has been an everyday question and clearly going back to '14-'15 it's been an everyday question here. ... Personally, I think that way too much blame or even credit gets attached to the power play coach."

 

[Cody Webster]

How bad is Toronto's defense? Must be pretty bad if Frost scored

Missed a goal looking for that quote

[Harold Bingo]

That pass was beautiful

I think I found it.

Samsonov is playing f***ing ugly. Good lord.
