Player Discussion Troy Terry

[WhatTheDuck]

He's everything you want in a captain on and off the ice. Literally. I hope he gets an "A" real soon.

Maybe an A will open up through a deadline deal, but regardless I think Terry should be considered the successor to Getzlaf.

Well i hate to break it to you but Drysdale and Zellweger are pretty damn likable too... and honestly so is Mctavish

If I could make an inference, I will say that one of the things I liked about Bob’s old school mentality was that he clearly valued the interview portion of the draft process. Most of our guys are very personable and pretty articulate

If the "C" is handed out already the next season I wonder if he's quite ready yet? He's just a year removed from being too much in his own head. I'm not a psychologist but I wonder if extra pressure would sidetrack him? I love the guy and think he's definitely worthy but I hope it doesn't come "too soon" for him.

I’d imagine we’ll go a season without a C if Getz retires after this season.

With that goal from yesterdays game he is now 1 goal away from joining the 30 goal club

Ah, of course. That very intuitive thing, Points versus xGAR.

Hopefully that looks worse than it is.

Those red eyes from the flashlight make it look worse, but those are some number of stitches there.

I hope there isn't more internal optical damage. Beagle and the Coyotes suck.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Just awful

Terrys agent needs to convince him to call it a season to protect himself for his UFA years. He’s accomplished plenty this season. Like most people working for a bad manager you can’t do anything until you leave.

The players need to hold a players only meeting with no lackey coaches and staff. The stars all need to feign injury. Give Verbeek what he wants… just ice the puck every possession and make the game last 10+ hours to show the product that will be on display all of 2022-2023 season.

Scary Terry.

POS Beagle.

Well this post is completely nonsensical. mod edit

So I'm just reading all the absolute nonsense in the main forums on this incident, and it's crazy to me how just...ancient, and narrow-minded, and disgusting peoples' opinions are these days. Seriously, the advent and dominance of social media and its use have made it extremely clear how revolting a surprising number of our society is.

Now of course that statement is referring to a variety of things way worse than this hockey incident, but I always think of it when people are just talking from behind a screen and saying things that I think they might not say if it was face to face.

I knew I missed Des more than Lindholm and Manson (I get Manson might have been similar support here). I do still feel that Verbeek has a plan in place and we have a chance at being a better overall team in the coming couple of years. I also feel that he probably did about as good as he could at the trade deadline, by having Murray handcuff him a bit by not acting while he was still in charge. That said, I don't think moving Des out was the right call, not for a 3rd, though I hope by luck we're able to re-sign him in the off-season. I also think leaving out any bigger support was a bad call.

100% I feel that Des and Carrick have earned extensions, and I don't know why Carrick hasn't been given the offer yet.

Back to the Terry thing, I'm sorry but skilled plays shouldn't be punished, or expected to be punished. They make the game more exciting, and there's already plenty of things you can do to prevent those plays without being a goon. I don't get the NHL's stance on being basically okay with a guy hitting another guy (multiple times) that hasn't dropped his gloves and isn't fighting back. Those people with opinions of "Terry instigated, he shouldn't have picked a fight he can't handle" are so blinded...there are tons of scuffles after whistles without gloves being dropped and punches being thrown, and Terry didn't do anything unusual there. Pretty clear IMO that Beagle was just pissed about Z's Michigan and took it out on someone.

I'm sorry, but have you played hockey? and that's a honest question. I've played long enough from childhood to adulthood where I never go into the crease when the goalie has it. The moment you start poking the puck and prodding, that's when trouble arises.

Beagle wasn't 'upset' about the Michigan to me. If he had an issue with it, he would've gone after Zegras a la Dale Hunter.

 

[branmuffin17]

Yes, though I don't know if you'd consider it "hockey" and if that gives me leeway in your mind to have my specific opinion. I just finished a season in a silver beer league (but I'm much more bronze than silver). I'm 44, started playing roller hockey in my early/mid 20s and converted over to ice around mid 30s. I've never been coached in hockey, and only ever played 1 day a week.

In one of our games, a junior level player did a Michigan on us, and that pissed me off some, partly because he was way better than the rest of us...we didn't let them do it the next time they did it by bodying and checking them, but we also weren't anywhere near the level of wanting to continually punch him or anyone else in the face.

I'm not saying the crosscheck to Z's back wasn't warranted, and I didn't mention that. And while Z was prodding, it was quite light, not like he was trying to injure the goalie. Granted, we never like when people do that to our goalie.

I do have an issue with continuing to punch a guy in the face that's not even trying to fight, and that's the only major issue I have. I made a guess with the excessive reaction Beagle had, and maybe he wasn't pissed about the Michigan, but again, I feel scuffles around the net happen a LOT, without this type of thing happening.

Has anyone in our organization said anything about Tyson Nash’s comments?

“That’s the problem with these young players,” Nash said, referring to both Terry and Trevor Zegras. “You wanna embarrass guys? You wanna skill it up? You better be prepared to get punched in the mouth.”
