Just a sad, terrible video. He is lights out here. Pure hatred in his eyes the entire time.

Hate seeing someone you once rooted a ton take so many wrong turns.

He needs help that’s for sure. I watched the full video and he was completely unhinged the entire time.

Nothing like a Leafs loss on a Wednesday night

It soothes my soul.

Help he probably won't get.
He got off the hook ridiculously easy. Got a 30 days commuted sentence, his conditions was to enter and complete the NHL program and to stay sober for a year... Yet, one week later he was sitting on a plane en route to Russia.

God bless this night after Toronto losing to freaking Ottawa
so much salt in that PGT

36 year-old Kopitar is still a pure monster in this league. The Kings were my darkhorse pick from the west the last couple of seasons, and it's looking like they're much more than a darkhorse at this point. Goaltending being their obvious weakness.

I miss the good old days of the Ducks, Kings, and Sharks, their games from the last 10+ years were always must-watch hockey. Size, speed, and fundamentals. One of the perks of living out west.

What a sack of trash. Excuse me while I go burn my Galchy T-Shirt. Lol good thing Bergy knew how to spot the CHaracter.

Kind of crazy to see the polar opposite now.

When I was recently watching the kings, I was thinking... What if we drafted Kopitar instead of Price?

We would have had an extremely durable 1st line C that's still playing today, would have probably tanked for a rebuild a lot earlier since we wouldn't have had Price covering all the holes... Maybe we would have even won a cup as a result!!

Aw well....

This is too good haha

I'll give him the benefit of doubt and assume this is prior to last season, Campbell's first in Edmonton. But how somehow calling himself an expert thinking Edmonton+Campbell=Vezina is truly something.
Campbell isn't anything special and Edmonton's D is near the bottom of the league.

Poor judge of character was Timmins Achilles heel. Ruined the team.

Jeeze, that means he failed his conditions and now has a warrant on him. Can't come back to the US ever, unless he wants to face bigger charges.

 

[Tuggy]

I hope the Leafs trade their first rounder in a panic move.

And they still need to figure out the Nylander situation (UFA). I wonder how much he'll ask for...

That was wild! Honestly, you could tell Galchenyuk grew up thinking he was all that because of his father. At least he didn't drop the 'er'

 

[The Great Weal]

Galchenyuks OT turnover to Caufield was the biggest contribution he made for the Habs.

That's AG? Doesn't even look like him.

 

[CDN24]

I do think Huberdeau is still a really good player on the right team. I think the Habs play more to his style and he’d help the PP a lot. I’d easily trade Gally+Anderson for him if he only had like 4-5 years left on his deal. But 8? No thanks.

Plus is agent is Allan Walsh, I could not live with 8 years of his antics

With that regime’s absolute focus on character, I’m surprised they didn’t draft Forsberg instead. The need for a centre was just too glaring. Things could have really been different with a player of his quality.

Galchenyuk was widely regarded as a character player with excellent two-way play.

Lol. Enjoyable.

That's the crazy part to me. He really was this player in juniors. His character problems developed after Therrien and Bergevin stepped to make him a better person.

Yup. I recall in his draft year reports saying he was a good kid with a good head on his shoulders.

He probably was.

Getting money and getting corrupted happens and it's hard to tell who will succumb and who won't

 

[waitin425]

That Chucky video is so cringe. Crazy drunk talk threatening the officer, then he says, "so just let me out here, and I'll forget this happened". What would be more crazy is if Chucky thought he was such a big deal that he could convince his shadowy Russian mob buddies to murder an entire bloodline over his impaired driving arrest. What an absolute embarrassment. Clown show.

 

[Whitesnake]

Or.....what that freakin organization has done with Galchy and with Kotkaniemi, is making them entitled. By starting them at 18. By not respecting the process.

Galchy has his own problems. And he's responsible for the type of person that he is. But as an organization, as a company, when you put people in positions they shouldn't be in, and tell them how great they are before they have the maturity to deal with it, you put yourself and the person in a freakin bad situation from the get go.

The draft for needs never fail......
