Well, you'll still probably piss the people off sitting around you.

Don't wanna start a thread, but I just realized how bizarre it is that we're retiring #10 yet it's been worn by several other players besides Bure... Has any other team has this happen?

You'd just have to ask Gino.
In fact, many of the Canadiens' retired numbers were worn at least a few other times after the honored players actually retired from playing.

Interesting. I guess I'm glad we're not the only ones then lol.
Ray Ferraro on the Canucks just now.
"They are too thin. The minutes that Torts is playing the top players is unsustainable. Kesler and the Sedins will break down. The wheels are going to fall off." -His words
Bearish on Richardson and Santorelli.

I believe Ray Ferraro also called Jason Garrison the biggest FA bust last year...

I am more worried about kesler getting hurt then him physically not able 2 handle it.
Didn't really want to make a new thread so I'm just going to ask this here.
I keep hearing the media talking about how Tortorella is riding our top guys and how this is going to wear them down over the course of a season. I don't get this. I've never played any kind of higher level hockey that has me traveling and playing long seasons so maybe somebody can fill me in on this.
I have worked labour intensive jobs that I get absolutely bagged after working a 50 hour work week but after a couple days off on the weekend i'm good to go again.
I just don't understand how professional athletes playing for an 5 extra minutes every other night can handle it for awhile but then just 'break down'.
Honest question.
He scored at just under a 14 goal pace last season (slightly down from the 16 the season before - nobody expected him to repeat that number). Don't see how anybody would be disappointed with that goal output - especially since AV didn't just Garrison as a weapon on the PP until much later last season.I really like Ray Ferraro. I think he was exaggerating the Garrison signing, but we expected more goals. It was hard for him to do that under AV.
If we can get more powerplay opportunities, he can put up a lot more.
Injuries are forcing Torts to make those kind of icetime decisions. Just like if we had a couple of injuries on the blueline, depending on who is healthy - they'd get a crapload of minutes.But you know, increased ice time ... increased fatigue which indirectly can contribute to increased chance of injury.
