In Throttle’s hockey management woldview you’re either a buttkisser who is simply trying to protect his ass at all times, or a spreadsheet kid who is in tune with a changing game. Give him a cigar chomper any day of the week.

Dick the Bruiser?

 

[Throttle]

How’s Doug Armstrong doing in St. Louis?

I know he’s part of the Trottle hate list

Win 12 games in a row to make the playoffs, probably get washed in the 1st round. Every Isles fans wet blanket they complain about annually. Good for Dougie.

Anyone check out the Rangers thread from last night? They had to shut down the Gameday thread to new replies right after the game ended and I didn't see a post-discussion thread.

EIGHT goals to the Flyers, including 5 in the last 12 minutes . . . AT HOME?

Sam Rosen's last national broadcast?

Wow . . .

But I can't help myself . . .

I’m happy they suck (not happy they’re passing us in draft order) but they always shut down the GDT and the PGT is right there.

Ahh, but it does give me an idea for a book!

Dick the Bruiser?

Sounds like a LBI.

What's an LBI?

Dick the Bruiser was a famous wrestler who would chew cigars and was David Letterman's and Bobby Heenan's first employer

Lower body injury.

PIT won, and at Det going to OT, so they have at least a point. In some strange world PIT, BUF and ANA all pass us and we're #7.

Detroit wins in OT.

Great night on the OOT scoreboard.

That would be great but unlikely - I’ll settle for staying behind the trio of NYR, Det, CBJ

By My Count Penguins need to at least win one of their last 2 games and we lose all 4 of ours(or we win 1 they win both). Sabres and Anaheim actually have a better shot of overtaking us

and down go the rags

What happened to the rags? They started like 12-4-1 picking up where they left off last year then fell right in to the shitter? Kinda odd, no? Don’t get me wrong, couldn’t have happened to a better team.

They forced their Captain to waive in NTC.

Zibanejad and Kreider slowed down, Fox and Lindgren were dogshit, and I think Drury lost the room with his accept a trade or we’ll waive you shenanigans with Jacob Trouba.

Why did they want to/have to trade captain elbows?

To get his awful contract off the books and free up money to pay Shesterkin. The same thing Drury did last summer with Barclay Goodrow’s awful contract.

They couldn’t have done that in the off-season? I dunno, just seems bizarre. Makes Lou look gold plated.

Lou has plenty of problems of his own doing, but loyalty isn’t one of them.

I’ve never heard a former player of his say a bad word about Lou Lamoriello.

Not to mention the shenanigans with Goodrow and waiver wire whenever that was.

Felt like a bit of that spark that then continued through the summer and this season.

I held back on mentioning Goodrow because in spite of what Drury did to get his salary off the books the Rags still got off to a good start this season. They were 6-2-1 in October and 12-4-1 when they went into a tailspin around Thanksgiving that they never really recovered from. Then Drury made that sleazy move with Trouba and the Rags seemed to quit right there.
