Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella said Friday he will be standing by his ban on players looking at iPads on the team's bench.

"I don't give a flying s*** how I'm perceived because it's my job to coach the team," he added of those who have doubts about the ban.

This department desperately needs to be gutted and revamped. It's so broken and dumb.

Shanahan tried to make it a decent institution that worked but the powers that be didn’t like it. Now we’ve get Parros in there who’s frozen the clock on any potential progress. Having the guy in charge of player safety having part ownership in a clothing line called “violent gentlemen” sounds like a bad joke but it’s our literal reality.

Make hockey violent again is the new motto.

That punch gets a fine but Neiderreiter gets nothing for his interference on Kampf?

Typical

And how's that working out for you Torts?

 

[BertCorbeau]

This league is such a f***ing joke.

Wow.

Just wow.

 

[stickty111]

Too terrible officials to a literal enforcer running department safety, what is the league even doing here?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Parros clearly has bias against the Leafs, that's no secret.

Out COLD!

gets better each time

Absolutely. Nobody with any common sense would argue otherwise. It’s hard for me to take the playoffs seriously with the NHL and DOPS. We have to not only beat great teams but also the league itself. MLSE with all its money doesn’t seem to care.

The whole logic behind having an enforcer/ex fighter lead player safety was always completely asinine. Too many decisions from the office seem to come from "feelings" rather than any sort of objective review.

#36 for McDavid.

Let's see how the Oilers do against a team that isn't actively tanking

It’s been pad the stats the past two games for McDrai.

If he's gonna miss the PO, he sure as hell is going to wrangle something out of this season. He is going to pad his stats right through to game 82. Can't say I blame him. Oilers are burning through his prime years and he's light years away from a sniff at the cup.

Chatter about Matthews moving on from Toronto after his contract expires, but seems to me there's a far greater chance McDavid and Drai look elsewhere the first chance they get

The Oilers have one of the easiest schedules remaining. Multiple games against Sharks and Ducks left, McDavid may very well hit 65-70 goals at this rate.

Especially with how they feast on the PP.

Hope Bedard goes to SJ or Anaheim .. that division needs some more competition.. plus a Connor vs Connor thing in the west is a fun headline

I’m semi retiring this year I will move to Victoria or Arizona maybe LasVegas if Montreal gets Berard it will be just too much to handle around here.

 

[BallardEra]

37 goals in 44 games for McDavid.

Looks like he will hit 60 if he stays healthy the rest of the season.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I remember when Cody Hodgson had to deal with their medical staff and he was beyond frustrated with how things were. Honestly feels like they ruined the guys career.

Kind of scary if players don't know whats going on in a professional environment and cant seem to get the help they need.

And Hyman tied for sixth.

As long as they can draw 15-20 penalties per game, they'll make the Cup finals with no problem.
