In my eternal optimism, I'm going to go ahead and name that meteor MM-39

 

[Tripod]

True. I mean he hasn't even scored a goal yet.

Does have an assist now. But it was a secondary, so doesn't really count.

 

[Embiid]

First point is an assist....lame.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

True. I mean he hasn't even scored a goal yet.

Just got his first point, or half point. Kid stat padding already with a secondary assist.

Edit: Tripod beat me to it lol

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Tell me you wouldn’t give anything to see a Deslauriers-Bedard duo.

Modern day Semenko-Gretzky?

 

[Jack Straw]

I don't remember Mrazek being this good.

 

[Cody Webster]

11:14 PM puck drop in Vegas tonight...

I don't remember Mrazek being this good.

He's going to ruin my bet. I thought for sure he'd have let one or two stinkers in by now

 

[Jack Straw]

Bedard obviously using his Jedi Mind Tricks to score goals from the bench.

 

[Embiid]

Michkov would have already had 2 goals (1 ES and 1 SH), 2 primary assists (1ES and 1 on the PP), 10 SOG, 25 attempts at the net and 2 SAVES....

 

[pit]

Bah. I could be a grandfather to Bedard.

That's biologically impossible.









Bedard understands hockey.

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

So Hawks upset pens. How did Bedard look? Good? That’s the first time I ever saw that shot he has with the bent curve.

 

[Embiid]

ya but is he friends with the ref?

"Welcome to the NHL Connor".....puke

 

[Cody Webster]

ROFL, this sure is something....

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

So the knights use a slot machine to raise its banner how nice.

 

[Embiid]

Vegas opening "Knight" theatrics....more hurl....

Such a storied franchise....oh wait!

Anyone catch what was said during the Pitt/Hawks game?

Chicago coach wants the kids to make mistakes as they will learn from them.
WON'T be benched for them.
Wants them to play THEIR GAME.

He was. It was the other 5 games after that that you're thinking of.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Wow, Seattle puts the puck in their own net, what a dope

“It’s a young dumb league,” Tortorella told host and former forward Paul Bissonette when asked about coaching the newest generation of NHL players. “There are so many more mistakes made now in our game than back in the day.”

“Coaches, we’ve evolved, I think you have to because I used to be that ‘dot the I, cross the t’ and forecast what the game was going to be before it’s played. Now I think you need to allow them to live through some of those mistakes for them to mature.”

Torts, step away from the microphone…

“The thing about TK is he screws up a lot but it doesn’t bother him. He just goes out and takes his next shift. That’s a huge attribute for a player,” Tortorella said. “We took the video on the bench off the bench because we want them to just worry about their next shift.

“I think it’s a major problem with us, understanding momentums of the game. You can’t understand momentums of the game if you’re looking at the iPad all the time. We took them off and aren’t even going to use them, so that they watch the game and see what’s next. TK does that within his game all the time and he’s one of the ones that looks at that damn thing all the time. I think he just has the proper mindset that he’s not afraid to make a mistake. We need to teach him about situations, but we don’t want him to lose that mindset.”

Tortorella's Tactic for Flyers: No iPads on Bench

There were no changes to the lineup on Wednesday, but something was different on the Flyers bench. The latest John Tortorella-implemented rule: no iPads on the bench.
