Pre-Game Talk: Tour De Troit

[Messrules11]

That was probably a flames fan drunk due to the flames losing and decided to play a prank

Rejean?

The Todd doing a nice job over in Motown so far

Definitely one of those games we should expect to win, assuming the team isn’t sleepwalking. But with Tmac coaching the Wings now I think the effort will be there, gotta beat the old coach.

I mean we won a series in 2017 against the Sharks and should've won the series against the Ducks...and he won a ton of series with the Sharks
odd narrative

He won a ton of first round series with the Sharks as arguably the best team in the league, then not a lot after that.

They got punted fairly easily the odd time they made it to the Conference Finals, but thinking about it that might have only happened once.

Regular season coach. Good enough for a team who's just trying to make the playoffs for once but his flaws become apparent in a 7 game series.

I think more than anything the roster flaws became more apparent in a 7 game series.
Especially after the first round.

Not sure how this game will go. Detroit fighting for a playoff spot and has won 3 straight. Oilers would like to stay in first though. I'm expecting a really exciting game to be honest.

He did make it to 2 Conference finals with the Sharks
Meh, I think him not winning “the big one” is overrated
Dan Bylsma won a cup as a coach and no one is confusing him with Jon Cooper

Amusingly, the Red Wings beat the brakes off of the Kings the other day too.

Todd McLellan does come with some jokes that consistently write themselves but overall he's a really good coach.

He's a really good regular season coach who will get your team to the playoffs.

As a Sens please, yes please. We'll return the favour by defeating the Caps so you have a better chance at PT.

So the wings are apparently surging. Let's give them a nice warm spanking to destroy their playoff hopes

No thanks, Washington can win the regular season. We don't want the PT curse.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

well help the Sens

No thanks, Washington can win the regular season. We don't want the PT curse.

out either way and give yourselves a more noticeable lead against the VGK, win-win?

Defend the 1-1 tie!

Worse than that, wasn't it Tampa about 15 years ago that was down 1-0 and was still lining 5 guys up in the neutral zone? Philly said, "f*** you, come get it" and the play was whistled down a few times because of it. Seems to me Pronger was involved.

Most disgusting display I've ever actually witnessed.

Edit: I might be wrong about the score but the point still stands. Here's the video.

I remember that well, good on Laviolette to bring attention to that brand of chicken shit hockey.
