I haven’t fact checked this:
That Cates extension is going to hit like a brick.
Boy, do we have the coach for these guys then!Vancouver fan here--Watched every game Kuz played here and a bunch of his Calgary ones. His 39 goal season came when Petterson was often other worldly and Kuzmenko seemed to have a knack for getting into the right place to capitalize. Everyone--teammates included--loved him, at least at first. When Tocchet took over, it soured, but not before they gave him the new contract which included the no trade. It was apparent that coach had made his mind up on this player and it was no surprise when he was sent to Calgary. He's like a puppy--he's happy all the time but doesn't seem to understand why people yell at him. Slowing down and there's never been an ounce of bite to his game.
Pelletier I recall was the young guy a lot of Flames fan were high on, and in his NHL first game his family comes out from Quebec to see him play, and he scores. After the game Sutter craps on him to the media and made Pelletier's mom cry. It was one of the last straws for a lot of folks with Sutter and a bunch of stuff about how toxic he was to everyone in the organization came out as a result and he was soon gone.
Flyers gonna Flyer.Friedman on SN
Kuz was likely going on waivers if he hadn't hit his recent hot streak.
FYI...hot streak is last 5 games.
So on Jan 17th he was likely going on waivers.....lol
Boy, do we have the coach for these guys then!
Match made in heaven.
There's absolutely zero chance the guy doesn't get benched or berated on the bench.
Anyone see an update for Danny B's press conference?
I love Kuzmenko f*** you Tortorella.This guy's number is 96?? Jesus Christ
That's not going to do much in terms of changing philosophy, need to burn it to the ground.Fire Briere and Torts.
