"In the KHL, there's lots of looping and swinging, and speed. I already know a couple of things that we're going to have to work on with Michkov to get him ready to play the North American style of game" - Armstrong



"[Lyksell] wants to play a possession game and turn back with the puck at times. It was a habit that he had to break" - Flahr

 

[Beef Invictus]

Armstrong still thinks they're playing on big rinks

 

[FlyerNutter]

Maybe Michel Therien was right about Briere

i said it before ill say it again..

Torts will strip MM of everything that made him dynamic...

all that will be left is a bland 3rd line grinder..

I hate Torts as much as the next guy, but come on.

It's ridiculous that they expect there will be fireworks. Why? Why must that be necessary? What's the point of that being an expectation? There is no value in having a coach who picks fights with players for the sake of it.

I agree, it's absurd to publicly come out and say that before the season has even started. What a soap opera. Why can't we just have a professionally run organization?

My thoughts exactly. Creating drama for the sake of it. Such a dumb franchise

Briere might be the dumbest GM we have had to date, and we've had some doozies. Maybe the apple doesnt fall far from the tree with his son Carson.

Come on ya mean every player isnt walking on eggshells around John Cooper?

Briere is a f***ing moron.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

They actively WANT there to be fireworks. They want Torts to show that he's the boss who is going to treat everyone the same and play hockey "the right way." They want to be able to say their savior went through the fire and flames of Torts and came out on the other side. THAT will be their badge of honor.

I'm sure there's no chance that everything will go sideways during the entire process though.

I like how they are essentially bragging that they know Torts is going to do something dumb to piss off MM, the team and the fans. This organization is such a dumpster fire.

 

[Tripod]

I they make it so easy to hate them.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Should probably start getting ready for that "we don't want anyone who doesn't want to be here" line dropping after they've had to trade MM

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Should probably start getting ready for that "we don't want anyone who doesn't want to be here" line dropping after they've had to trade MM

And for them to then consider MM as “external to the organization.”

not one person here could have called this..
