Leaving….I can't stomach anymore.
Another GIANT step towards Hockey Oblivion!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Russ!! The Alumni live 30 minutes from the center. They are following the Eagles model. I think a great idea for the culture. If they don’t like it we don’t care.
This team still sucks.
I am concerned that Tocchet may not be the best hire for this team. I do trust Briere and Jonesy, but I'm concerned about how he coaches and teaches young players. This is a young rebuilding team, which doesn't have allot of talent. He's going to have to get better years out of Tippet and Forrester. I think he can teach them what they need to do to be in the NHL, but can he teach them X's and O's, which will help take them to the next level, which I think this team lacked in the years under Tortorella. That being said, Tortorella absolutely made Brink into an NHL player. He also let Michkov know the NHL is not just an "Offense Only" League, but you need to play 200 ft. Michkov may never be that but he now knows, thanks to Torts. And, for GOD Sake, please lets get a frickin Power Play coach in here that can direct a GD Power Play. When you have shooters like Tippet, Koneckny and Forrester, and a playmaker like Michkov, your power play should at least be average.
The Alumni stink goes back to that Hextal incident and it's been festering because of all the losing since. Only winning will end that narrative.
Really sad to see Shaw go
If Florida wins its 22
