Once it'll get cold I probably wont smoke at all. Albatross never say smoking cigars is a vice! And never say you smoke too many cigars! Thats one of life’s pleasures. Enjoy them! Ashton, Arturo Fuente, and Montecristo are my favorite cigars. Yeah smoking out in the cold is a bitch. Ranger Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Are we there yet? I have to admit that watching Laf videos is way more fun this off-season but I think watching the toe-drag where he kicked Bob in the mask on the way through is probably dementing if over-indulged.

RichieNextel305 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Watched a little of a replay of Game 3 of Rangers-Panthers. And it really can’t be understated just how stupid and flat out bad Jacob Trouba could be. Laviolette is really going to need to learn to limit his minutes big time. He’s just not quick enough and when he gets beat, which is often, he just lunges at guys. Really have to hope Schneider continues to progress, because Trouba needs his minutes monitored. Just a fucking idiot on ice. Captaincy or not, the message needs to be clear: if you’re gonna play like an idiot and put us on the PK more often than we’d like, you need to take a seat. It is extremely unfortunate that he’s still here. It really sucks going into a season trying to win a Cup while wearing an $8M anchor around our necks. 3 penalties, on for 2 of 4 goals. Out of position so frequently. Literally just a comedy of errors. I almost forgot just how bad he was in the playoffs. It was so ugly.

I don't understand why he was trying to sell that the ankle didn't impact his skating when it was so clear that it did. He couldn't even pivot. We're at the point now where it is what it is and you would think that somebody with his level of pride would show up motivated. That's the best possible scenario right now. Unfortunately it seems like hockey is a distant third on his priority list behind his family and his art career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I'm really hoping that he has some kind of resurgence this season. Kinda like when an athelete has a bad year, he re-dedicates himself to making a solid comeback to regain his credibility. I just don't know if Trouba has it in him, and like Pete said, it may be further down his interest scale with his other endeavors. Either way, he was fucking terrible in the playoffs, and I don't think it was a secret that he was playing with limited mobility. Like I said though....I'm HOPING he has a little pride and plays better. For 8$ million bucks he should be up in the stands buying us beer and hot dogs, with his play last season!

Can I get a pretzel instead of a hot dog? Those hot dogs make me sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 It was real discouraging to see. I think what happens in the off-season is that sometimes our brains are wiped clean and optimism creeps in. It can’t with Trouba. Watching Game 3, I can’t believe how bad he was. Yet he kept getting run out. Mistake after mistake. Scary. Cannot happen.

Sharpshooter Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I like Lav, but having a veteran, older school style coach can hurt in the regard of veteran players still being put out there when they shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) It's funny to watch people still defend Gallant. Even Babcock was able to get an NHL head coaching job... And Gallant still out there calling cabs. Edited August 21 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned quickly to follow patterns and don't try to rationalize why it will be different this time no matter what they said in an interview or how they tried to explain things away. I think Gallants time behind the bench is done; the track record of instant firing decisions by GM's as opposed to calculated, we are going in a different direction speaks for itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
