wjag Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Leafs fire coach Carlyle. Tank on. The best prospects in years should be playing at the epicenter of the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 The Leafs currently hold the 8 seed... That's why the move is a little strange... normally a coach wouldn't be fired with the team sitting in a playoff position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frissonic Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) 1. He played for the Amerks one season 2. Before that, he played a lot of games against the Amerks for the Maine Mariners, and I remember being little and seeing him get into tons of fights. The Amerks had quite a few brawlers on those teams 3. I remember seeing him score a playoff goal against the Sabres (1988?) on TV and people threw shoes on the ice. he was playing for boston at the time, and he was just the biggest goon i had ever seen (which, at the time, was a very limited sampling, but holy shizac, he definitely defined the part for me). i don't remember if it was 88 or 89, but yah ... he was a presence. EDIT: it was the 87-88 season, and the only goal he scored in the NHL playoffs, according to hockeydb.

Andrew Amerk Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 he was playing for boston at the time, and he was just the biggest goon i had ever seen (which, at the time, was a very limited sampling, but holy shizac, he definitely defined the part for me). i don't remember if it was 88 or 89, but yah ... he was a presence.

inkman Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 holy crap, you just made my day. i didn't think anyone else knew who he is. He played on an Amerks team for the ages. Roster was loaded and lots of cameos by future NHLers. Oh, that was also Olie the goalie's rental season with the Merks. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0000031993.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Just witnessed the Oilers actually dominate in the Wings zone and fight back to tie it up. And then they turned around and got a stupid penalty behind the Detroit net before a too-many-men penalty on the penalty kill. And they blew the ###### game with 30 seconds to go. What a joke.

Hoss Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 That high school cut myth continues to live on Don't worry. I always tell people how much ###### it is. I just needed it for the joke. Can't stand Michael. Every kid knows that if you didn't make the varsity team, you were cut. Doesn't matter if you play JV or not.

I'm not going to finish the rest of this argument/civil discussion because I ###### hate Michael Jordan! And his hall of fame speech cemented his complete douchebaggeryness for the rest of time.
