Literally only caught the last question lol, my daughter slept in which never happpens.

Someone going to post this on YouTube? Charlie?
 
Sather looks old, tired, and - most importantly - disenchanted from today's game. I laughed out loud when a reporter asked him about advanced statistics/metrics.

"Oh yea, Im interested in all of that"
 
AV mentioned Sullivan, hopefully hes not being considered as an assistant. I thought he was let go?

AV also let the cat out of the bag a little concerning free agency. They want to bring in more skilled guys, which means if they are interested in doing anything in the way of free agency, they most likely will have to buy out Richards... (?)
 
Tortorella from behind!

HES GOT A CHAIR

WAIT A MINUTE

HES GIVEN THE CHAIR TO GLEN

WHAT IS THIS

IS TORTS BACK?
 
I'm indifferant to the hiring of AV. Yeah, he's a differant voice than Torts but he's still grating. I'll be happy if they can open up the attack a bit.

how can he say that without consulting you? I really wish you were there to call them on the carpet for that blunder!

When you make a statement that you did before, you are implicitly stating that the team would have had the same ability to adjust. Thus, the team would be the same. Perhaps it is more the team Sather built haphazardly threw together that failed rather than the coach.

How many times do I need to say that I'm not giving Sather or the players a pass? Their failure doesn't absolve Torts from blame.

That makes sense. But they better not turn into an all-skill team. That would be a mistake.

I agree. I feel like Sather is over-enamored with the idea of a super skilled offensive team. Hes tried that in the past and has failed. Granted, he didnt have Lundqvist between the pipes but I think its a little foolish to think that simply changing the system is going to yield results.

We have a new coach! We'll make a splash! We are going to be an up-tempo offensive team like all of the elite teams in the NHL! We are very close to the Cup!

BUY MORE TICKETS!!!

I am half lukewarm on this and half excited. I like AV and i think it will be a good fit for this team. He was the best available IMO and 1000X better then Messier. But the other more realistic side of me suggests that this is just another chapter in the failed misguidings of Glen Sather.

Well, to be fair, having TWO top-6 wingers playing with one shoulder is a decent excuse.

I still don't think we win that series with a healthy Callahan and Hagelin. He said maybe if we stayed healthy like the Bruins or Chicago we would be in their position, as if our team is on par with these two. Even AV said we are close, he didn't insinuate that our team is the same level as the Bruins or Chicago.

Also, I like how Sather avails himself of the injuries excuse but Torts wasn't afforded the same benefit. Typical Slats, everyone else's fault but his own.
