Nick Ritchie in Toronto

[Jeffrey Pedler]

Now we just need don cherry

To show everyone how it was the last time he coached back in 79? The game wasn't as technical back than as it is today. I highly doubt he knows what a sagging zone defense or a box plus 1 is.

When he said Mike dad babclock I knew he his brain was completely fried. He's been done for at least the past 10 years now.

Career year coming fir Ritchie

 

[keonsbitterness]

Or just a year.

 

[Caesium]

Career ending year for Ritchie.

He actually has 2 years with the Leafs to end his career.

 

[wingman75]

Not a good start... he seems very unsure out there. He just needs to stop deferring and make the plays that are there. Its not like his linemates are doing anything either.

To think some were mad that the Leafs drafted Nylander and not Ritchie. LOL

 

[hotpaws]

he's trash , that's why the bruins didn't qualify him

It already seems like 2 years of him imitating Gauthier

Another example of why trying to fill out your roster via UFA, with little to spend, does not work.

Needs to be moved to line #3, with Bunting moving up with Matty and Kerfoot up with JT.

He's been moved to the 4th line....poor Spezza

Yikes. Looks like he will be Keefe's whipping boy. Not a good look for the signing. Hopefully he can find his game soo...n.

 

[2 Slick]

4th line, even there he's taking up roster space. Trash player.

 

[Buds17]

Hopefully this line change/demotion helps him to rediscover his game as 2.5 M per x 2 isn't altogether insignificant.

Yeah because Bunting, Spezza, and even Kase have been terrible for us /s.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

I've seen him have one good shift so far, and he ended it by barely getting away with a hook as the puck was leaving the offensive zone. He has seriously been worse than Simmonds and doesn't deserve to be in the lineup at this point.

Bunting and Spezza want to be here. Bogo was good. Kase seems OK. Even so, the good ones eventually leave because you won't be able to afford them. Rinse and repeat.

Is this true? Wow.

Yes, it's true...

100% on the money.

He is terrible. Put this scrub in the press box.

I couldn't believe it on Saturday, Matty and Mitch were carrying over the Pens blueline about 6 feet apart and there's Ritchie 3 whole steps behind them and smack dab in the middle between them, not out on the LW drawing the defense over but right in the middle allowing the Pens to bunch up at the blueline and ignore the left side.

not just once either, I mean even a peewee knows better then that don't they?

poor Simmonds, he'll have to slow down now

 

[Fogelhund]

I think he can be better than he's played so far... I mean, that's not a very high bar though, it is?

But, let's suppose he doesn't play better... I wonder if we waived him, to send him to the AHL, if someone would actually do us a favour, and claim him? Probably not, but wishful thinking.
