Deslauriers 2 more seasons at $1.75 Could be traded but probably stays 1 more year before we do anything with him.
Couts: Not going anywhere with that contract that nobody wants. Injuries and his production as a 4th liner doesn't lift his value. We are eating salary for DeAngelo and Hayes...
Looking at our defense of the future. Its pretty bright:
Cam York is a future number 1 defenseman IMO. Sooner than later.
Hopefully Drysdale can play to his potential as he is still very young at just turning 22 this month.
Sanheim is going to be a solid 3
Bonk as a four it could be worse...
I guess we can put that whole "the players quit on the coach" thing to rest after last night win.
Last night was a perfect example of what you are saying above of how bad the goalies have been. We got some decent goalie play last night and beat the top team in the league.
If we were only going to win one more game for the rest of the year i just loved beating the Rags !!
We still have a pulse , lets go miracles do happen!!
Thanks to confirmation from a TSN’s NHL insider, Darren Dreger, it is now known that Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella will still be the team’s bench boss next season in spite of wild speculation.
I am heading to church and praying for us to lose out.
Hopefully we could get into the top ten and get a lucky ping pong ball. :pray::pray::pray::pray::pray:
The team went down hill the day we traded away Walker which coincided with Seeler getting hurt. This was on top of having lost Drysdale to injury and Risto out too.
It was a great season to watch even though we screwed it up in the end. Hopefully we lose out now and get a higher draft pick.
The tactic didn't work because Couts sucks and has sucked for some time before the benching. It was a last resort to try to get anything out of Couts going into the final days leading up to playoffs. What was Torts supposed to do not recognize that a player is terrible? Torts has three options...
Its simple. If you dont suck you dont get sat down. So the onus is on Couts 100%. He sucked before and after the benching so he just sucks at this point in the season. He needs to bounce back and salvage any career he has. FYI the room wasn't lost when Couts got sat down as everyone knows that...
You can only coach so much. Torts cant put on the goalie equipment and stop the shots the sieve we call a number one goalie cant as well as the back ups or put up the points Coots and Atkinson have not been able to.
Its lack of Hart, talent and injuries. Players dont just stop playing for a coach with 8 games to go with their first shot at making the playoffs. That would be like cutting ones nose off to spite your face.
