All right grandpa, let's go collect grandma from spin class and get you to bed so you can make your tee time tomorrow morning.View attachment 645528
Jack just doesn't have the heart or the determination or will to win like Philthy's superstar Kevin Hayes, Rags great Panarin and FLA's very own Sasha Barkov, who are pure born winners.
But waited until AFTER Nico got ASSAULTED in two straight games before saying anything.Uhm.. he himself literally said that it was accidental and harmless play?
To me thats more of a hockey culture thing. Your player gets hurt (which Barkov did, he missed some games) whether its dirty or not, players respond. To me the bigger problem was that Nico and our team took it just like that. Our team didnt really have any response to the tkachuks of the world.But waited until AFTER Nico got ASSAULTED in two straight games before saying anything.
I think he picked the corner he was going to shoot the puckFirst and last ASG I watched was the one where Nolan pointed at Hasek
What response would you expect short of taking a hockey stick and swinging it at Tkachuk's stupid face for pulling that sh*t?To me thats more of a hockey culture thing.

Its dumb, but I bet that would happen with many other teams. Having your star player get hurt leaves kind of bad blood between the two teams and we had a second game pretty soon after.
If anything in hindsight I would say its good that the Nico targeting happened. I hope Fitz tries to bolster up the team without losing its identity. Make us tougher to play against come playoff time.
