Nothing makes me want to drink bleach more than hearing something like that. All you can do is hope he is fired there and hired here, so that I can stop drinking bleach.

you mean cooper?

It's also situational, it was easy for Boston to play McAvoy early, because they had Chara instead of MacDonald as a veteran D-man. You can put rookie forwards with Crosby b/c he attracts so much attention.

It's easier for the Flyers to pair a rookie forward with Couts (see Lindblom) than with Patrick. It would help Provorov to have a veteran RHD, and Sanheim to go back with Gudas and maybe Ghost - Myers.

While the Flyers had veterans the last few years, they weren't talented enough or suitable to pair with rookie players. So it makes it harder to put rookies in positions to succeed.

you mean cooper?

Yes. I like him because he is a modern coach. I have said it a bunch of times - I basically hate all coaches, but I hate him the least of them all.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

That draft i honestly didnt research so i honestly had no preference on that pick

My preferences were Max Jones with the first rd pick & DeBrincat with the early 2nd. And I wanted Abramov at the Allison pick.

i would love to have him but i seriously doubt they are going to get rid of him.

Jorts and a blouse is a good look.

@Captain Dave Poulin

Of course if he ever became our coach, I'll gladly wear a pair on my head.

Best coach going.

You’ll see a reason to stop, but at this point you’ll miss the taste and now your life is nothing with out the sweet taste of bleach

@Captain Dave Poulin your boy Tripp Tracy just had a zinger about Keith Tkachuk on the Canes broadcast. He’s on a dad trip there with Ottawa. Tripp said something to the effect that you see some of these former players & think they could still play today. Paused & said Keith is not one of them.

W.Nylander is getting just raked over the coals.

was 9th in icetime for forwards tonight. Benched for awhile. Demoted to the 4th line. -3 in a 3-1 loss.

Then also an article comes out about him still not passing Halak in points on the season.

Keith Tkachuk looks like Claude Julien nowadays.

I imagine they'd be extra hesitant paying Kapanen now after that Nylander fiasco.

 

[Striiker]

Good. f*** the Leafs.

Any shred of misfortune for them is a wonderful thing.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Wonder if Nylander just needs a fresh start on a new team.

Let's offer them Hagg for him.

Look at that fat bastard on the jumbotron....oh, it's me, shit.

I feel like I might be eaten if I run into the guy.

"Chinatown88 was delicious...where Captain Dave at?..I need dessert!"

That's great He should fight that Joey Votto or whatever his name is with that hot dog eating contest on Coney Island.

Lol that’s awesome. I pulled that article up. Fantasy sit or start robots pick Halak to start on offense over Nylander.

I think he will be fine. He sat out so long that it will take some time. But if he’s a buy low target or it increases the chance Kapanen is out I’m all for it.

 

[TCTC]

The transformation of the Islanders is pretty astounding. 1st in the Metro now.
Best defense in the entire league. Last season they were last in GA.

And all that after losing their franchise player. Looks like all they needed all those years was a good goach.

He will turn it around at some point. They too have 9 days off coming up so maybe that's the break he needs to clear his head, have some hard practices, and start playing to potential.

But the Leafs will keep Kapanen as insurance this year for sure, imo. He is too cheap compared to production.

He looks like he ate Claude Julien.
