Big miss by Pasta.

Big miss by Pasta.

He should check his woicemail.

 

[kudymen]

Pastrňák gives up

 

[kudymen]

Lol why were TWO refs like a FOOT away from the fight, visibly eager to jump in?

 

[TCTC]

It's amazing the Bruins have only 1 goal so far. The Lightning D looks terrible without McDonagh.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Still don’t know why Tampa Bay gave up a first rounder for Goodrow.

 

[TCTC]

You know you're having a bad game as a goalie when even Brian Boucher is criticizing you.

 

[kudymen]

I know the Bruins are the Bruins but Gourde is annoying as well

They usually piss their first rounders away anyway.

It's amazing they are as good as they are.

 

[TCTC]

I don't think the Bruins can win 3 games in a row with Halak in net.

 

[Beef Invictus]

If Florida hires Olczyk the league should just fold the team and start over.

That's good because they are much worse matchup for flyera than bolts. So three wins will do for us to get easy ECF opponent.

Pretty much could go for the other choices too (Chiarelli & Weekes). Like what the hell are they doing there? One guy with an awful track record & two guys with really no track record at all at any level.

 

[Stizzle]

How is this list real? I know Mellanby has actual credentials, but the other three?

 

[kudymen]

Pierre CornDog was not contacted?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Mellanby has credentials, but his credentials reek of typical hockey nepotism rather than real competence, and making him GM is a great way to expose that.

All these choices are dreadful. Who is running this process?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The only thing I can think of is they’re going back to analytics again & just want a face.

Hockey.

Tampa definitely looks beatable. Especially after watching this game. They have some firepower on offense, but it's not impossible to shut them down.
I have no idea for how long McDonagh will be out, but without him their D looks pretty bad. Hedman can't be on the ice all the time.

Like whatshisname in Carolina who got the job solely because how cheap his salary is.

That's possible. When Pronger left it was thought to be because the computer boys were taking power again.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Hiring Chiarelli & giving him full control sounds great for future relocation plans.

 

[Magua]

"I couldn't have come up with a better list of candidates myself. Well done, Florida, well done!" said Satan to his minions.

ray shero is out there too, like how can you pass up on a experienced gm like shero and we won a cup with the pens? i just dont get it sometimes.

 

[kudymen]

Hockey.

...speaking of which...
