[Flyotes]

The forcewave from the McAvoy hit on Staal just made a 100th lap wave around the planet.

It definitely did happen at some point and it may have actually been in a playoff game lol

He averaged over 15 minutes of TOI in the 2016 series vs the Caps

Manning and Amac 18 minutes, Schultz with 16 minutes a night ,PEB 14. Meanwhile Raffl and Read 12, Cousins 10 and Laughton was riding a bench. That trully was the least competitive flyers were in a playoffs and it was only because Neuvirth that we were able to win.

What a nightmare. We would have been swept if not for Neuvirth that series too.

981 sv%. He allowed 2 goals in three games which is bloody f***en miracle especially considering how awful our PK was. I can't believe I legit thought we might be even better team going into next year.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Our defense at time was
Ghost Amac
Streit Schultz
Manning Gudas

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Bye bye Columbus.

I’m hoping I spoke too soon.

The buyout payments to Leino ended this season. (looking at Buffalo on Capfriendly).

I look forward to them paying Laughton 4.5 mil for 5 years.

I didn’t even know a noon game was on today. The early games have usually been at 3 the past few days.

Probably the last noon game unless someone in the East can extend their series.

Rask "Opted Out" from the playoffs (story)

Tuukka Rask reportedly told WEEI's Greg Hill why he opted out | Boston.com

 

[Appleyard]

I think Tampa have made their team D worse by adding Bogosian... pretty hilarious he is on the top pair.

But I guess when have Hedman, Sergachev, Shattenkirk and McDonagh...

 

[tictactoe]

Yay! Jackets are not going away!

 

[Flyotes]

Apparently, Montreal has 25 draft picks to make over the next 2 years. That's--- a lot.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Foligno doing Foligno things.

 

[tictactoe]

Jackets 3:2

I respect that Tortorella doesn't wear a suit behind the bench. That's such a weird tradition.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I respect that Tortorella doesn't wear a suit behind the bench. That's such a weird tradition.

A weirder tradition is baseball managers wearing uniforms. If you can't play, why are you wearing a uniform?

You respect him for that? and why is it weird?

And Rutta, Coburn, Fat Schenn. Guess they should of held on Dotchin, ehh?

 

[wankstifier]

You respect him for that?

Yeah, why not? He's a hockey coach who dresses for the occasion and personal comfort.

 

[tictactoe]

Yeah, why not? He's a hockey coach who dresses for the occasion and personal comfort.

Because he is a coach? and it is not about personal comfort? it is tradition?
If you want comfort, stay home.

Lmao, okie doke

Damn. I've never once considered this and it's gonna drive me nuts now. Imagine basketball coaches wearing the same uniforms as guys on the court.


I mean I guess it dates back to the days where players were managers but still, it's been a longgggggg time. Every other sport that began with player-coaches has shifted away.
