Apparently there's a bug going through the Toronto locker room and a bunch of guys are sick. They were clearly not giving their best effort and if they played like that against almost any other team they lose handidly.

A preview of this year's Fan Appreciation Night:

The fact his play has completely fallen off a cliff the past 18 months on a powerhouse team is totally reassuring that he'll be great playing for the outhouse of pro hockey.

This is going to be a public execution. TNT guys are busy laughing at this toilet of an organization as we speak.

We have the worst coaching staff in the entire league and second worst isn't even close, everything else is piss and wind.

This team is hiring an actual NHL quality coaching staff away from becoming a contender.

Yes, clearly nothing happened earlier that led to Granato losing it like Benson taking a textbook wrestling suplex and somehow getting called for holding. And it wasn't like the penalty called on Benson (who apparently must be the single dirtiest player in hockey history with the way he gets penalties every single game) wasn't the direct result of Montour tripping him or anything.

¡Viva Benito el Giraffe!

Fire Donny and his staff and replace them all with actual NHL quality coaches.

If you want an idea of just how awful this game was: the YT recap video that is usually 12 minutes long was barely half that length for this one.

The NHL Network sucks ass.

PHam isn't just a clown he's an entire three ring circus.

No sound on the DirecTV feed of the postgame.

Don't worry, they are all going to go back to the locker room and make friendship bracelets.

THIS IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT, THE SIGNIFICANCE IS THAT THEY ARE NOT DOING IT AS DELIBERATE SHOW OF CONTEMPT FOR THE MOST ABUSED FANS IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF PRO HOCKEY.

It's almost as if the entire roster has collapsed because the coach and his staff are total incompetent dogshit or something who would've all been fired in December if this was a real NHL organization.

This might be the most bonkers trade proposal I have ever seen on these boards. Doughty is washed up and sucks, that would be a spectacularly awful trade. Edit: I was probably too harsh here and was probably clouded by recency bias on the player. I still think he would be a terrible fit because he wouldn't want to play in Buffalo.

If there was an anti-Jack Adams award given to the worst coach how would Granato not win it unanimously this season. Name a worse coach in the entire league, I dare you.

The only two people on Earth worse at their jobs than Botterill are Ed Johnston (aka: The Man Who Killed The Whalers) and the safety director at Chernobyl.

How I feel about this pile of horse ***** organization right now:

Here's the thing: If Pegula wants to sell the team and Joe Billionaire wants to buy them the league will tell him you can provided you agree relocation is permanently off the table. There are lots of rich people so desperate to be pro sports owners (*cough*tomdundon) they would happily agree to those conditions.

They were auctioning off a ***** signed OJ jersey at the game today.

The clown show on the ice wasn't even the most pathetic thing about this organization today:

You have no idea what I would give for a tape of him saying THAT word.
