Not sure why you’re so angry but welcome to my ignore list. Sorry your life sucks

I’ll wear it like a badge of honor.

And not like you can see this but I’m not angry in the slightest. You’re the one who apparently has a huge issue with the number of a player hanging in the rafter the past twenty-one years, not me. Maybe you should deal with that.

There is literally no rules in place for retirement of numbers. None. They can do whatever the hell they want. I have no issue with them retiring a legend’s number no matter how short a time he was with the club.

LOUD NOISES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, in other words, just your typical lawyer

Hah!

But worse. A losing NHL mealy-mouthing coach/lawyer. Jesus... is that what he spews in the locker room?

Rewatched the third period on NHL Network the other day. That was fun to see. They really did just clamp down and not give Tampa anything.

I have a feeling Cooper is great in the locker room. I imagine him whining at everything to the media is his way of getting the conversation off of his players. It's much the same as Torts tantrums. He does a lot of that to deflect criticism off of the players by making himself the story.

Your analysis is spot on about him. His post game pressers were appalling.

Huh...

I believe you are right.

Decided to relive this before the new season starts. When does it finally start feeling real that we won the Cup?

As the Avs sputter out of the gate and struggle to make the playoffs, we will cling to it. Then it will be real.
