Coming on here and asking advice on anything is unwise . Unless it's how I can out bitch the next guy and how the team is totally ruining my life cause I don't have one .

Just watch the Avs last two goals last night and you'll see. He also has 0 points in 19 games.

So is it pretty clear that Torts is only playing him because he has no other options? Is it clear he's not happy with his ability?
It's weird because the coaches all seemed to love him in Buffalo, even though us fans thought he looked like crap. I just assumed there was something I was missing that the coaches saw.
I'm guessing he's getting no PP time. That was where he got all his points.
The fact that Torts doesn't like him makes me wonder/realize how awful buffalo coaching has been the past 8 years. They all loved the guy!

No PP time at all even though we are missing Couturier, JVR, York, Allison and Atkinson.
We're paying him $5.1m to be a defensive defenseman, but he's bad at defending.

Sorry, I was just checking in on a player -- people do it on our board too, I genuinely thought you guys would say "he sucked but Torts is starting to get through to him, he's starting to simplify/improve" or something along those lines.
I'd be really upset as a fan if this was the case. Sorry to hear that.No PP time at all even though we are missing Couturier, JVR, York, Allison and Atkinson.

Is Ristolainen good?
Is the team good?
Is the team well managed?
What are your answers to those questions. Unless you answer "yes" to all of the above, then you're strangely upset over people not being grinning idiots who eat up whatever the team serves since you're aware things are bad.

He's been on the top pair.
Torts is a dinosaur piece of shit like all the rest.

Weird stats of the day - Farabee has 0 PP in 63:37 (4th most PP TOI)
But he has 15 ESP in 376:19 (only Hayes has more ESP)

How has Dylan Cozens been this year? The stats looks pretty decent. Has he been playing a bit with Quinn?

You can take the post you quoted with a grain of salt. Risto has been absolute ass. No amount of "this board is a bunch of whiners" changes that, much to some people's chagrin. If he had a redeeming quality, rational posters here would be more than happy to call them out. Unfortunately, he doesnt have any. Hes a below NHL quality player being paid 5M a year and being gifted minutes he hasnt earned.
Is Risto good no , is team good , if fully healthy we are not horrible . Is team managed well no .
It,s just people coming here day after day after day after day after day after day and whining the same thing all the time . Yes Deadhead is the eternal optimus and several the eternal pesimus and analytics are the favorite of the day for arguing but people acting like it is effecting their day to day life need to get a life .
And i'm not upset at all I actually feel sorry for some that HF boards is their life . It's not just this board , go to any board on here have their team lose a couple games in a row and the shy is falling down . Social media has turned into generally nothing but a bitch fest is actually quite sad .

I caught that Rantanen goal on youtube highlights. It is incredible how slow his feet are. It's almost like he actually does not have feet at all. Just bloody stumps jammed into skates.

In the playoffs when he can just rugby tackle forwards, Risto will look much better.

Your mistake is thinking Torts isn’t an awful coach and could actually help improve a terrible player.

He was never a great skater but he definitely looks worse post-core injuries. Of course he looks better skating towards the offensive zone than on the backcheck or in the DZ in general so it's possible he's just sandbagging.
I didn't even realize they took him off the PK. Remember how "great" he looked in Year 1?

i think he has actually been pretty damn good. So good, in fact, that we are willing to give you risto back for absolutely nothing.
