His mismanagement of his name-brand goalies was probably the fail...

Torts is next

Yumcha

It all depends if the new GM wants Torts as his coach. So, flip a coin.

Moog-Type-S

^^ Torts was his biggest mistake.

Yumcha

Really? Aside from his dumb move to challenge Calgary to a street-fight, he's been pretty tame.

I would still say the Luongo/Schneider fiasco was Gillis' worst move.

Moog-Type-S

^^ Torts is a cancer. Only idiots hire him (See Rangers)

Yumcha

Well, FWIW, he did okay in T-Bay.

black label

He's the NHL version of Bill Parcells. He can do great things with an underdog team but eventually people get sick of hearing him. The Canucks weren't an underdog team though, they were a good team that underperformed.

Faster than expected, thought it wasn't going to be ready until 2017.

2016 Hockeytalk meet in Motown. Get ready bishes.

Moog-Type-S

You don't hire a coach like Torts.

ESPECIALLY after his antics in NY.

The dumbest move the Nucks made in quite some time.
He deep sixed the team.

Yumcha

Heh...Horton will score a goal without playing the game: http://nhl.si.com/2014/04/07/nathan-...ying-vs-stars/

Rounder

lol... why don't they just reset the game clock to whatever it was in the first, when the incident happened?

black label

They don't want to deny the fans a full game and they don't want to take a goal away from colombus.

Rounder

no, i'm saying reset the clock to 9:00 or whatever it was in the first and give columbus the 1-0 lead like it was.

Moog-Type-S

This....
Then this.....

Wait for it..........










Then this.......

Moog-Type-S

It's not that hard to understand....is it?

black label

Apparently it is

Resetting the clock to 9:00 would result in playing 51 minutes of hockey. 51 minutes is 9 minutes short of a full game. They didn't want to deny the fans a full game which, again, would be at least 60 minutes.

black label

Tampa is going to make the playoffs think year which means Stunna will show up. Maybe he can provide a graph or chart that shows a full hockey game compared to a partial game.

Babcock passes Jack Adams for most wins as a Red Wings coach.

One more point. I'm looking at youuuuuuzzzzzz Black Label or BlackAck~cha's!!!

Most likely blackackcha, I think the east is pretty much set but Columbus and Philly may swap spots.

nice win. Awesome shootout!

that much closer..

I don't get the Columbus thing, they want them to play a whole 60 mins of a makeup game, but lets Columbus start the game up 1-0. I think they should pick up where the game got called off if they're resuming with a 1-0 score.

imj0257

iTrader: (1)

Yea.. dunno the exact reasoning why they are playing a full 60 min and Columbus starting with a 1-0 lead.

IMO, it should be a brand new game.. 60 minutes with a 0-0 score

Took a day trip to Canadia, and I ran into Dom


No not really, but the Hockey Hall of Fame had a mobile exhibit come through, so I stopped and checked it out after lunch.


They had some really cool stuff, having never been to the HHOF it was cool to see a lot of these items in person, lots of USA olympic stuff as well. Lots of Pens related stuff as you'd imagine, I'll only post 1, Crosby's Olympic jersey from the golden goal in 2010, his Winter Classic jersey from 2008, one of Sid's Sault St. Marie jerseys, gloves, etc..


Took this one for Yummy and Moog, Johnny T's cup final home jersey, and Drew Doty's helmet from the cup final, along with a number of skates, etc.


And at least 2 of these trophies I know will be coming back to Pittsburgh this year, they had the Hart, Art Ross, and Ted Lindsay awards.


Hart


Art Ross


Ted Lindsay


Was a cool little event, wish I could have stayed longer, but I did get to at least check everything out.

Rounder

this is what I was fucking saying. It's the same fans, same seats same tickets. makes no sense. they already SAW the first few minutes why do they have to start at 20:00 on the clock??

Yumcha

Trevor Linden is new President for Nucks: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=448779

Yumcha

Wow, nice exhibit you went to, Ack.

Rounder

cool pics. they did that at the islanders "draft party" last year, brought in a bunch of HHOF exhibits.

Yumcha

The Cup wasn't at the exhibit?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

No, they said it was in town, but I didn't see it. That was the main reason I went there. Perhaps it will be there a different day? I am going to look into that

Yumcha

Hmm...cuz, you'd think any trophy exhibit for the NHL would HAVE to include The Cup. Kinda the star of the show.





PM ...he knows where The Cup is.

What will they be celebrating? Did Crosby have his first period and is finally becoming a woman?
