Post-Game Talk: Exit Interviews For 24-25 Season

Imagine Torts coaching Edmonton in the 80s.
“Look, Gretzky’s ass is gonna remain on the bench until he starts backchecking more and blocking shots. And Coffey better stop carrying the puck so much and remember that he’s a goddamn defenseman!”

“We need more players like MacTavish and Beukeboom if we want to win!”

Don’t forget, “I see Fuhr as more of a tandem guy. If he’s the number one, I see him getting between 50 and 60 starts.”

Gretzky baiting passing lanes to intercept passes would not count as back checking, obviously.
 
these guys don't get it. no one is questioning that they're giving effort. they are simply not talented enough to win consistently. it doesn't matter how much effort you put in, or how much grit/toughness you have. if your team doesn't have a high enough skill level, YOU WILL LOSE.
Someone replied ...perhaps they should raise a banner for that and I am in tears lol

You gotta admit though Jeff Beukeboom is the best hockey name ever. I'd draft a Jeff Beukeboom on name alone.

MacT would've played 19 minutes as the 1C in a must win game.

For no reason whatsoever, here is a picture of my jack-o-lantern 7 years ago. Hopefully it gives some people a smile (I was quite proud of it).

C’mon, the Kul-cha is almost right, winning will follow.
