RIP Bedard....

Pretty funny Torts had to come out and say they are sellers. I could see Fletcher telling him he thinks we could make the playoffs and Torts forcing them to sell by stating it today and in the recent past several times.

Deep down, I believe Clarke doesn’t want a great team that could possibly win because it would diminish his own legacy.

Ok, it might not be deep down. It may be his surface level thinking.

What a ridiculous amount of backpedaling.

So after telling us all about how there was going to be a revolving door because Tortorella has ordered a rebuild and LOVES playing youth, you're lying to us and claiming you actually meant he doesn't prefer playing youth.

Go back and look what I wrote four months ago after reviewing what Torts did at other stops.
He starts a few young players, looks at some others at the end of the season.
He's started Frost, Cates, Tippett, Allison in the top 9 as well as York. That's five new starters.
Next season they'll probably have 3-4 more.

Last 20 games he'll look at some AHL players and see how close they are to being NHL ready for next season.
Desnoyers and Lycksell are the first, if Seeler or Braun are traded, Zamula, Ginning and/or Attard will get their look see.

Nah, he's just stuck in the 80s when they had money and a "name" and could compete every year.
He conveniently forgot that they spent five years rebuilding after getting rid of himself and Holmgren, and became a top team once again.

Remember when Vigneault said he doesn’t evaluate players at the end of seasons because they’re meaningless games? That turd is still being paid $5MM until next season. Thanks, Chuck.

Hey, it's less than the 6.4 million they still own Bryzgalov and he has not played for the Flyers in 10 years.

Sad that 2 men that have made these decisions are still in upper Mgt positions.

What did you write six or seven months ago?

Why are they in the lineup?

4 months ago you were already backpedaling and getting called out for it. I'm reviewing what you claimed in the summer.

You've been backpedaling since Game 1. That's when all your utopian claims began unraveling fast.

You mean you never do research and correct yourself?

Of course not.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Of course not.

Have you said that you were wrong on the matter?

Instead we get "I never said that."

Come on, man.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Some people here criticize "dinos" for supposedly not adapting to new times and new information,

Yet these same people will denigrate and "gotcha!" a person years later for changing their opinion after years of new information.

(Look at how the prospect group was rated in 2018! Haha!)

Yeah, do you still go by the 1980s Food Pyramid, too?

I said I looked into Torts' previous stops and this is what I found.
I was surprised that he didn't make major changes, that it was more of an incremental process.

Come on, man, homework isn't that hard with the internet. Some people are lazy.

It's easy to say I was wrong and with new information I now see...

As an Economist you should know that...

That chart is crazy. Didn't expect that last entry... Of course, it's interesting that there's only one line on that chart that doesn't have a net positive GF vs GA

Claude Giroux having his best season in years

With a 4 point game tonight, Claude has 58 pts in 59 games and is thus having his best offensive season since 18-19. At age 35, he's been a key veteran on a young Ottawa team and wears a letter. He's been a great fit for the Sens and has to be one of the best free agent signings in recent memory.

Who hated on G?
Think they got a good return, three years from now G will be 38, Tippett will be 26.
And if Florida struggles next year, that could be a good 1st rd pick.

Spencer Knight and Bob don't seem to be the answer, and depth is an issue.
Traded 3 1st rd picks, a 2nd and 3rd the next three seasons and will probably miss the playoffs.
They'll have $11M in cap room next season, but need to rebuild their defense and add depth to their forward group.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

There’s no way he actually feels that way, right?

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Oh, honey.

Got to get rid of that country club atmosphere, am I right?

 

[Beef Invictus]

You mean you never do research and correct yourself?

Of course not.

Of course I do. Unlike you, I make a point of making my error known.

You've been trying to pretend you argued the same thing the whole time. After months of claiming I didn't do my research (I had), and it turned out I was right, you're trying to pretend you were saying something completely different.

That isn't remotely what happened.

How come you're still defending management? Why did you lie about that?

Weird, I was told players never do better after leaving for a place that doesn't vigorously oppose skill and creativity.

 

[mja]

Of course not.

In all of your time here, I have seen you admit that you were wrong on exactly two occasions, one of which was years ago and I had to browbeat and corner you into it. You have no interest in trying to correct yourself. You only have an interest in try to lawyer your way out of having to admit that you were wrong, which you are nearly all of the time.
