sports net pumping Chiarot’s tires

Lol, Armia just scored, 3-3 now

Price not playing like a 10+ million dollar goalie

Chariot's tires looked pretty flat on the 4th Devils goal just now . I don't think Price's team is helping him out much tonight

Armia has more goals than Laine.

Assists are where it's at these days.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

The look on Armia's face at the end of the game pretty much says it all in regards to Montreal

Black Friday sale on jets tix. $110 lower and $60 upper bowl.

 

[surixon]

This was always the most likely outcome.

"no longer coach"

do teams not use "fired," "relieved of duties," "terminated" ?

 

[Repoman]

My guess is he "quit" but they will still pay him. Pretty sure there are some legal issues with firing him for something he did when a different organization.

 

[Yukon Joe]

Apparently Peters resigned.

Bill Peters resigns as Flames head coach after allegations by Akim Aliu - Sportsnet.ca

I wonder why he did that.

"no longer coach"

Well he resigned, likely as a condition of a settlement reached between him and the Flames.

He resigned.

There goes my dream of coaching in the NHL.

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Leafs fans probably demanding Keefe's head on a spike, Hutchinson for sure!

 

[bustamente]

Leafs put Hutch in net and lose

Leafs put Hutch in net and lose

Oh so it wasn't Babcock's fault that he sucks?

 

[SUX2BU]

Leafs put Hutch in net and lose

And the parade is once again, on hold ...

Just something I whipped up...

 

[SUX2BU]

Bug eyes traded to Detroit

 

[tbcwpg]

Oh so it wasn't Babcock's fault that he sucks?

But Babcock put him in the second half of back to backs and made it so difficult for him to succeed, because obviously teams never win the second half of a B2B.

Bug eyes traded to Detroit

Thought the Leafs might be interested , Guess they dont want to a chance on another Jets backup

 

[None]

Didn't Hutchinson come out and say the Jets never put him in a position to succeed or something as well? I think it was specifically about any time he had a rhythm he'd get taken out of the lineup (paraphrasing from what I remember).
He was essentially the starter in the 14-15 season until Pavelec took the job back to close out the season and was given every opportunity at the start of 15-16 to take the reigns but he couldn't string together wins (neither could Pavelec).

Not many young goalies are in a situation where their team is willing to sink or swim to let them find their game, and the ones that do get that opportunity are usually prospects with high draft pedigree. Most guys have to fight to get their starts and when they're in that situation they're probably never going to be in their comfort zone.

Mentality is apparently a huge part in differentiating yourself as a goaltender at the highest level. I don't think a goaltender that feels slighted by their organization for getting benched after a poor start in their previous game is going to find much success in pro sports.

If he thought the Jets did him wrong then he'll likely never find continued success in my opinion.

 

[bustamente]

You have to think that Claude Julien could be on the hot seat with a few more loses, same for Detroit's Jeff Blashill.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Bug eyes traded to Detroit

Red Wings acquire Eric Comrie, potentially goalie of future, from Coyotes

I suppose any goalie could "potentially" be their goalie of the future but I don't think Comrie's history supports such optimism.

Maybe. The Habs roster kinda sorta sucks. They have past his prime Price in net eating up $10.5M per year of salary, old man Weber and Petry as the arguably only respectable D-men on the roster, and their forwards really aren't anything to write home about.

They might just be a bad team that overperformed early in the season.

 

[None]

There was fire Hynes chants at the Devils-Rangers game apparently, and looking at the boxscore Trouba apparently played just over 9 minutes short-handed. Holy shit that's a lot of PK minutes.

4-0 shutout for the Rangers and it looks like the Devils had ample PP time to get at least one.
