We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Hakstok was a fascist clique hiver lickballs.gif
While his systems can make a poor team more competitive, in the big picture. His systems and style of play are archaic and obsolete in the modern day NHL. Any players that remain if they ever get to a contending level will have to completely change how they play. The NHL is not a defense first league. It is an attacking league. You stifle offense if you constantly require all players to stay on the defensive side of the puck. A low zone collapse checking system can be and is effective if it has aggressive elements to it. Such as using it to out number an opponent to get the puck back. There is zero offensive creativity or vision in any of his coaching. Absent of innovative attack offensive strategies. Tortorella is basically now a high paid interim coach to add defensive structure to a team. The NHL game has clearly passed him buy and has so for a significant period of time. He is not a good coach and hasn't been one for quite a while.

Pack your shit.
We are worse off now than we were before he arrived. Other than MM, we are an embarrassment.

Fun little tidbit - my luthier played guitar on the studio recording of this song and let me play said guitar at his house. He was in an old band in the '60s called Peppermint Rainbow.

The only thing I unironically appreciate about him is his open contempt for the media.
More of that please.
