We’ll find out right after what’s shaping up to be a Tortorella’ova good game. Edited December 13 by kipwinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,675 Report post Posted December 13 We need to get rid of all these old dudes. Remember when Bowman came in and replaced all the lazy old vets with hungry young dudes from the 89' draft? We need to do that. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I genuinely don't think that's an issue. We have a historically relevant team in a hockey friendly American market. We've got a respected GM and an owner who spends to the cap most years. All of our best players are under 30 AND our prospect pool is one of the best (if not THE best) in the league. All the worst players on the team are only on short term deals as well.

AtlantaHotWings 1,089 Report post Posted December 13 is it trying to put players into a system that doesn't work for the current skillsets? Square peg round hole type scenario. Is it Lalonde's perceived lack of emotion? That has trickled down into the players attitude? We didn't win the game but we did win the stats battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
