Hmmm
Blocking kids with trash vets
Lying about injuries
Ignoring the future to concentrate on mediocrity in the present
Seems like the same old era of orange to me.

It’s over three months until the TDL. That’s a long time to watch this lineup that won’t make the POs and, because of the trash vets, end up out of the top ten draft positions. Season = failure.

Now he has a problem. Stupid mother f***er is too stupid to link these baffling scratches to shitty coaching.

Brink was in the top 5 in rookie scoring when he was scratched last week. We can’t have that.

Did Torts bet on Poehling having 5 points by the end of the month or something?
Poehling was on the ice for four scoring chances, but he had 18 scoring chances against. Eighteen!

Play well defensively or just "the right way" = they magically think offense will appear

American Thanksgiving is still a week away and we’re already in just throwing darts territory. That’s how you know this isn’t imitation Flyer.

I hate this team
Torts benches everyone...

Didn't Brink have like 6 points in his last 8 games or something?
I also don't mind Poehling in a slightly elevated role, just to see what he has. But you can do that without having to scratch Brink and Poehling.
Whatever, at least we know what to expect going forward....as if we didn't at the beginning of the year...

I feel like Foerster is the one who should sit a few games. He's playing fine, but I think Brink has been better.

That is because all <25 yr are prospects. Even Mete in their diluted minds.

People will still defend Tortorella too.

Scoring doesn't win games. Or something.
Also always love the notion of "he's going to watch some games." Watching film and going over specific things is one thing. If just watching hockey games makes one better...well shit, put me in coach! I'm ready to play.

Pretty sure they can watch film of the game after they played in it, hell it might actually be more useful to watch film if the film includes your own playtime. What special insights do these young players get from the pressbox that they can't get from watching film of the game after it happened?
But I'm no dentist, what do I know.

Foerster's play off the puck means he gets more chances to regain his offense. Brink doesn't get that same chance.
Prospects see what they value and focus on what keeps them playing at the expense of developing their offensive skillset.
Both Poehling and Belpedio can extend their stay in the lineups with a fight. If I was either of them, that would be my focus for the next game. Jump whomever throws a boreline hit.

I appreciate the underlying message that since Tortorella cannot sit Zamula, he'll have to resit the currently sitting prospect. Just you wait until one of Staal or Ristolainen is back!

Please hold that beer. Torts sucks but AV was worse at a different level.

Rumors should be flying that they're trying to ship out Atkinson during his shooting heater, but alas.
