Torterella as his head coach



Not going to happen, only thing Jones is going to be doing is blocking every shot attempt possible, even it is from center ice.
- classic321

He`ll be at 25 minutes and 15 shot blocks a game soon enough. He already has been blocking a lot of shots in Nashville.

Thumbs up for a Leaf win tonight.

I feel dirty.

I hope we get Laine and not Puljujarvi. I don't think I could take Don Cherry bastardizing his name every week

I feel dirty.

No bubbles for you.

Habs want Drouin

Come to the dark side, Lefty's been dipping his toes into this pond.

That's because they don't want to change the size of their lockers.

I wonder how Shark fans are going to like a 4pm start on Sat. with the Leafs in town. Canucks are no longer the only westcoast team to have the league impose 4pm starts on Sat.

Aren't you the one who ran to religion when Torts was here?

What a memory

Manny was a FA signing, and while it was good signing, I would put the Samuelsson or Tanev signings as better.

While Higgins, is the latest goat here, that trade and the Ehrhoff worked out the best for us.
- belcherbd

speaking of samuelsson, vrbatta reminds me of him when you consider the type of goals he scores and from the exact same favorite position too.

Gillia had many great moves...although not in the last 2 years he was here where ownership was overly involved and meddling.

Im surprised though that no one has mentioned signing hamius as ufa. That was a slam dunk probably more than any other single trade or signing he made during that time. He was huge for us in the cup run. Others were too, but this one allowed stability on the blueline. We lose in rd 1 against hawks wo him.

Instead of saying the other team is good Torts just calls the other coach an bumhole.

Ya Ill miss those. He was entertaining for sure

Or Edler ? .......sold !!!
- Bullfrog77

For sure hes 4-5 years younger would fit in with the team age group much better.

How about we hire Manny as our face-off coach?
- we_are_all_canucks

I like it and have wondered the same. I think he's playing somewhere though and doing well.

Linden was a faceoff magician and hes on payroll. Lets get him to school these guys.
Actually wondering why it hasnt been done already. Spend 1 day doing it 2x a year

Your posts about our players value are purely idiotic. Hammer is worth much more than Bieksa any day. Defensive den are heavily needed in playoffs. You think Vrbata is worth more than Hammer? Put down the pipe. You have had enough. Feel free to respond to this but I am done responding and reading garbage posts.

Vrbata I said is worth a second. Hamhuis a 3rd. Marwood is right you need to relax. I will gladly admit I'm wrong if hamhuis gets more of a return than vrbata which is crazy IMHO. I didn't know I wasn't allowed to have an opinion on a public hockey forum lol. Chill buddy. Let's look at this come Feb 29.

Your assumption : vrbata is two 2nds and hamhuis is a 2nd and a 3rd?

My assumption : vrbata worth a second. Hamhuis worth a third.

Only time will till, until then maybe hit the grass my friend

I think retinalz said we could get 5 second round picks for vby and hammer.

Either way, I am not doubting bad trades have been made in the past. I just don't see gms drooling over a weak teams players in a weak division when everyone's stats are not jumping off their pages. I could be wrong come Feb 29th tho. I certainly hope and would be happy if we got half of what retinalz says we should get in return lol

Hoping Seth jones sets that team on fire...get em some wins and get the hell out of our spot at the bottom of the standings !

Tanking is stupid. Its for teams who dont know how to draft.

Lets take detroit as example...when have they ever had a top 10 pick? think they were like 3rd in 1990 or something like that (....for memory) which I believe was Primeau.......(Van took nedved at #2, pens got jagr at #5)

They had succeeded well, won several cups and made POs something like 20 straight years. Again winning many cups in that time. Yet they consistently draft super stars. Datsyuk was like 5th rd or something. They didnt do it from top picks but actually low picks and proper development of those players.

Tanking is for clowns who have no clue what theyre doing.

I surprised myself on that one but desperate times call for desperate measures. It should also be noted that it wasn't until I went from jesus to satan that I got any results.

Anyway, off to my clothing-optional drum circle.
