A usual response to that poster. Shots fired. 🙂

Love the guy but that would benefit the Argo's, soooooo nope.

That it is.

BD is such a hard guy to cheer against, HC talent or not. In an ideal world RedBlacks take the East which realistically ain't going to happen.

Yup perfectly placed to the opposition.

Wow, thanks for these reminders. Good grief. Every time he touched the puck, nervousness set in.

Yup and safe financially too as I don’t think Arniel commands a salary like other well known HC’s currently available for employment.

His horrible locker sideline presence and it’s influence on others is underestimated by some imo.

Now I'm starting to wonder what the relationship was between him and Brind'Amour.

You forgot Argos. 🙂 And as a gentle reminder, Leafs suck.

I'm remain fascinated when teams get eliminated in the playoffs, sure enough some players come out and discuss the injuries' they were trying to play thru and in most (not all) cases a round about explanation of why their production dipped in the playoffs. It's got to be tough to be a coach as you have depth who are ready to go at 100% and need to weigh that with a starter who is operating at less than 100% and that less than 100% can be sometimes quite significant. And if you go with the injuryed starter the message you're sending to the depth guy is he's better than you at 60% (I made this percentage up) than you are at 100%.

Oh for sure and I know I'm simplifying this probably a bit too much but it's not him being terrible at football, he's a pro, it's his conditioning which consistently shows it's ugly head quite quickly during opposition O drives.

I'll take a stab at that. Yes. 🙂

Sorry for stating the extreme obvious from the couch here but JT's conditioning is very worrisome where his performance level drops very quickly after just a few reps. Hands on hips happens very quickly for him. That can't be good and not sure what other intangibles he brings to the field can override this.

It pains me to say this but the real NHL coach of the year if you take everything into consideration is Kris Knoblauch imho.

I'd also like on file, 'Just make the damn playoffs, make the damn show then damn well win it!'

Better than Powder. How about Utah Mother F’rs?

Tell us how you really feel about Mullinder? 🙂

Ahhh right. Here we go. Riders suck.

As an elite athlete, that’s gotta be tough for him when his body isn’t responding the way he wants it to.

From the Hockey News: “[Bennett] plays hard. He’s an extremely physical player, great player for the group. I think he got away with a shot, but I’m not going to complain," Marchand said on Thursday. "[Stuff] happens, that’s part of, especially, playoff hockey. I’ve been on the other side of a lot of plays, and I think he got away with one, but that’s part of the game.” Based on BM's specific style of play, he's lucky he hasn't been stretchered off. He's the perfect example of what Ref's need to call more often to lessen the retaliatory infractions to help lessen the violence that can cause serious injury, not only to the player that did the original deed, but to other players who pay the price of their teammates instigation style of play.

Oooooooh zing.

TBF, the Leafs still suck. Sorry can't help myself.

If Stuart Skinner is getting thrown under the bus for his play, Helle deserves equal or more. Sorry.

Just another reminder of how this can take hold of a life that seems to have everything going for it. Hope he breaks out of it and stays out of it.
