He couldn't give a flying *****, the gridball team is all that matters.

At least we aren't Purdue.

If our coaching staff had any clue on implementing a defensive scheme that wouldn't get a high school coach laughed out of the room the talent is clearly there. If you switched coaches and put Torts behind the bench next year we would make the playoffs.

This team is never making the playoffs under this current coaching staff. They have no clue what to do when their one trick pony system gets blown up.

Particularly after we got the late PP and you had to know the officials would have it in their mind to make an even up call.

It drives me crazy. I wonder if it's like the nutty soccer strategy where guys hold onto the ball in their own end to draw the opposing player to close in that seems to backfire horribly in just about every game? It almost has to be a coaching strategy because your first, second and third priorities when you have the puck in your own end is to get it out of your own end.

Look at our remaining schedule (particularly playing 6 of the last 8 on the road), we couldn't afford to piss away a point tonight. And we aren't just competing with the Isles for that last spot.

He's been great this season but on a PP late in a must win game HE POPPED AN OPPOSING PLAYER IN THE FACE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE. You just can't do something like that, it cost us the game.

He is, but he decided to pop a guy on the PP RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REFEREE.

Hope it was worth it to Tuch being a stupid petulant brat and costing us the game and probably our season.

The irony is that he did a great job on the 3 forced traded (Jack, Sam, Risto) so he does seem to have the acumen to make good deals.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feast on the Leafs!!!

That stupid leprechaun eats his wings with ranch dressing.

I'm not a gambler but if you are a money line bet on a rags win is just about the safest bet it is possible to make. I doubt this team wins more than 5 the rest of the season, they are beyond cooked.

Hockey executives and scouts are the dumbest and most incompetent in all of pro sports. They lack progressive thought the way Dracula lacks a suntan.

Here's some perspective: If the team goes 5-13 to close out the season (a very real possibility looking at the schedule) we would finish the season with a whopping 3 more points than the previous season.

This point cannot be emphasized enough. They did this exact same thing with Jack riding him straight into the ground and apparently haven't learned anything.

What a total bull ***** excuse by Donnie. Tonight convinced me he's a fraud and that if this team ever reaches the playoffs again he won't be behind the bench.

They should do the right thing and shut Dahlin down after this game. Season is toast and it would be stupid to risk having Eichel V2.0 where he ends up with a career altering injury.

What would happen to the Oilers if Drai broke his foot and McJesus was so hurt he wasn't anywhere near 100%? That's essentially where we are at today. As I said in the last GameDay thread Dahlin was clearly in a lot of pain and moving very slow and gingerly. One time when he was sent to the box live you could see he was struggling to skate over he was hurting so bad.
