PerreaultForever Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 I've seen a few Flyers games and they (usually) play very solid disciplined hockey. Very hard to play against. Decent goaltending, solid D, very good PK and physically tough. They lack goal scoring but can counter punch really well and most of all they DO NOT QUIT. They are tenacious, which of course all points to Tortorella. I still remember him last year end of season up in the press box with Briere pointing out who has to go. Guess they got it right. I still expect them to miss the playoffs due to the lack of offense but the games will stay close and it's not impossible for them to hang in there with a little luck. Whatever happens I think they are doing their rebuild correctly. If/when they get Michkov added to the mix watch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned that he thought to many players on the Preds were comfortable and was forced to make moves. honestly, I think that's the biggest issue with the Sabres right now. Players and probably coaches aren't held accountable. time for Adams to make a move, show the dressing room that lack of effort will not be tolerated. Waive someone, make a trade, fire a coach. wake up !!!!! This would be true for a veteran team. The Sabres aren’t that though. You might say DG isn’t your preference as the coach of this team, but he’s been given the youngest team in the NHL back to back years and no NHL goalie the whole time (other than every fifth game Andy). Yes I realize the Sabres aren’t performing relative to the expectations, but I don’t think it is because the Sabres are too comfortable. I think it’s because they weren’t constructed with enough experience and talent to compete. That falls on the GM.

Wasn't he giving the Avs what they'd expected when they signed him? He's on pace for where he was 2 years ago. (Behind last year's pace, but he's 33.

I'm not sure who they have as far as young guys, but at this point, they might be thinking any young guy that will take his place (and his 11 minutes per game ice time...virtually no pp or pk role) might be an upgrade. The question is...why was seattle interested? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly do the rich want? Exactly facial bleed isnt internal brain bleed... he wasn't dying... if its a trauma hospital those in immediate danger of dying get treated first plus because of deep facial cuts probably needed a specialist who may or may not be on call this time of year, and would have to be brought in or at least consulted Last night at my hospital was busy with mvas and heart attacks... sorry dude non life threatening injuries wait.
