NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

[GKJ]

The idea of Bylsma back in the NHL is bizarre, the idea that it’s at the expense of Hakstol just takes that up so many levels.

Maybe they can do Eakins in a couple years when Bylsma still sucks.

Nah it’ll be like Kirk Muller or something because of connections.

I’d be concerned Brad Shaw is on their radar if their search of thorough. Same with a few others.

They want rocky Thompson

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Friedman thinks Hak might be on his way out of Seattle to make room for Bylsma, who coaches their AHL team.

What is the point?

I mean they are so bad they don't even need rocky level coach like anaheim with Eakins. They should take a chance on someone with a potential instead of recycling bad and expired choices.

And to think that everyone is shitting all over us for bringing back one of the winningest coaches in hockey history.

We also have a rumor that the Sharks will look at Todd McLellan and the Senators have already had Jacques Martin as their interim coach. The NHL is somehow getting more backward.

16 coach firings in since last year, including Columbus twice who were the only team whose GM paid for it

So did I hear correctly that Ruff will be Buffalo’s 8 HC in 14 seasons when the 24/25 season starts

Not just this. The last coach the Sabres had to get another NHL HC gig was Lindy Ruff in 2013. That’s 5 consecutive HCs that didn’t get recycled in the ultimate recycling league.

I’m not sure even Mrs Thompson wants Rocky at this point.

But John Tortorella wants him.

I should clarify here, the fact that Bylsma would come from the AHL, despite having a far better resume.

 

[VladDrag]

Refs have been terrible in this Boston/Toronto game. Both ways

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Francis usually hires some of the smarter people in the analytics field but despite it he’s still milquetoast as all hell.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

What a weird series this has been. Leafs tie it, should take the lead seconds later, and, instead, the Bruins take the lead back seconds after that.

 

[Cody Webster]

Leafs tie it and then rat boy responds less than a minute later.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Marchand vs Bertuzzi has been fun to watch.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Grass grows. Birds fly. Leafs leaf.

It is painfully obvious that the Leafs have little to no team structure. Offensive and defensive zones, they don't know where each other is, seem content with trying individual plays, leave opposition completely open, and are either way too far away from each other to pass for high-danger chances or are stacked too close to facilitate puck.movement.

 

[Rebels57]

Tavares with one of the dumbest, laziest penalties you'll ever see late in a close game. How is this guy a Captain?

This HAS to be the demise of Keefe if they go out in the 1st right?

 

[GKJ]

I felt it was just over aggressive and thus obvious.

 

[Rebels57]

Lol how do you even let that happen?

Bertuzzi is such trash.

 

[Amorgus]

Probably missed this announcement earlier but the hockey world NEEDS a Jake podcast now that he's free from the league.

Jake Voracek, former Flyers playmaker, retires

Jake Voracek, who was a starring winger for the Flyers through the 2010s, announced his retirement after 15 NHL seasons but with concussion issues that had piled up.

Watching the Stars is both pleasurable and painful. I feel like a hockey Cenobite.
