This guy is the most goalie of all goalies. Lol

Bruins sign Tyler Johnson to a 1-year contract.

Hmmmm.... never would have guessed it.

Amazing comments to make after 12 games of massive UFA spending that lasts 6+ years

Also after signing Saros into that deal which pushed Askarov to demand trade

 

[BHawk21]

no chance he said that seriously.

There best players are all over 30 and signed for a long time

Over 30

Forsberg 6 years
Stamkos 4 years
Marchessault 5 years
OReilly 3 years
Josi 4 years
Skjei 7 years
Saros (when his contract kicks in) 9 years

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

The only way he could be saying that seriously is he wanted to rebuild and management was pushing for a retool.

Is this possibly meant as a shot to the players to tell them to get their shit together?

Torts scratching Michkov tonight lol

Torts scratching Michkov tonight lol

Unbelievable, not really.

 

[TLEH]

Unbelievable, not really.

They're 4-8-1 to start but they can't score and he's their second leading scorer.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Nash, with that roster, cannot be that bad. They need a new coach that can handle those high profile players.

With what roster? They had a hot finish last regular season so people thought they were a good team. They were the worst team in the playoffs last year and got beat in round 1. I don't see them as very good especially after adding two UFA's over 34 years old. Saros probably has to play like a top 5 goalie for them to hang around in the top 3 of the division and I'm not sure that's possible either.

Torts is a moron

The kid has looked good from what I have seen

The moron cut his minutes after MTL game when he was the Flyers best player offensively at that point in season and last game despite assist and a key shot block he got stapled to bench thru game and now this

 

[Crow]

Would make a lot more sense to limit his minutes and use him on the PP if the goal is winning.

Torts scratching Michkov tonight lol

And so it begins. Celebrini might end up catching him in games played at this point.

Just waiting for Bobby to come in and justify this Torts move lol

I haven't been watching the games so will not comment. Have you? Has BWC? Or have you guys just watched the highlights and filled in the blanks with your imaginations?

It doesn't matter if anyone watched. You dont scratch your 2nd leading scorer, potential rookie of the year, when your team can't score. And no surprise, they lost, because they couldn't score.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Josh Morrisey on the Jets is one hell of a Dman, he's flown under my radar over the years but I like watching him play. Byram may or not be available as well according to some weak speculation.

OK ... so you haven't been watching but the stats sheet and the fact he is a rookie tells you Torts is wrong. Gotcha.

Have you been watching them? If not, how can you defend Torts?

He's 2nd on the team in points. lol Who cares what his all around game is. Bedard was one of the worst defensive players in the league last year, would you have agreed with Richardson healthy scratching him at any point? lol

Just go look at the Flyers board, no one from other teams needs to watch, they do the watching for us, and they all aren't happy. But I'm sure Torts is right, like always, in your mind.
