LGR4GM Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 ROR +1, don't think he got the 2nd assist on that though. Tortorella is just awful. Quote
Eleven Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 I think this is the essence. But I also think Coach Todd is using this thing for the benefit of his guy and Matthew's. Matthew's while aggressive has made a lot of bone head giveaways. MacL is switching things up for the benefit of McDavis' well being. Connor may be the wunderkind but he sucks as a teammate. He does his own thing and doesn't look to get anyone involved until his rush is stopped. Jack looked like he was trying to get his linemates chances. This is interesting. Quote
MODO Hockey Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Holy sh1t. This is intense indeed!!! Edited September 21, 2016 by MODO Hockey Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 How, how for the love of god and all things holy, how does anyone think Tortarella is a good coach? Like how? He is the Rex Ryan of Hockey Coaches. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 All I want is a group that does not possess an unhealthy obsession with grit to be in charge of USA Hockey. Is that so much to ask for? IN A BEST ON BEST TOURNAMENT, DON'T LEAVE A COLLECTION OF YOUR BEST PLAYERS AT HOME TO BRING THE JUSTIN ABDELKADERS OF THE WORLD!!! FFS. Quote
sodbuster Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Well, RO'R is playing good hockey, not that I expected anything less. Quote

Has been for a while. At LEAST since Nagano, if not before. Quote

WildCard Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Okposo, Yandle, Tyler Johnson, Shattenkirk, Kessel, Faulk, Fowler How does that even happen? Quote
That Aud Smell Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 USA hockey is a hot mess. Has been for a while. At LEAST since Nagano, if not before. I heard Melrose say that winning faceoffs is all about intensity. Quote
Eleven Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Okposo, Yandle, Tyler Johnson, Shattenkirk, Kessel, Faulk, Fowler How does that even happen? You must mean the Faulk that was a key addition to the Sabres in The Hockey News article, right? I know. And it happens because Team USA picks coaches who pick marquee--rather than performing--players. Why not get a foreign coach like we do for soccer? I heard Melrose say that winning faceoffs is all about intensity. I heard intensity say that winning Melrose is all about face-offs. The sentence makes just as much sense. Quote
ubkev Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Okposo, Yandle, Tyler Johnson, Shattenkirk, Kessel, Faulk, Fowler How does that even happen? And Bobby Ryan! Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Okposo, Yandle, Tyler Johnson, Shattenkirk, Kessel, Faulk, Fowler How does that even happen? It happens because dinosaurs run USA hockey and think of names instead of skills. You must mean the Faulk that was a key addition to the Sabres in The Hockey News article, right? I know. And it happens because Team USA picks ###### coaches who pick marquee--rather than performing--players. Why not get a foreign coach like we do for soccer? They picked one of the worst NHL coaches I think there are. Quote
WildCard Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 And Bobby Ryan!It's sad that I can't even remember how many great players were left off this team because the list is so damn long Quote
LGR4GM Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 Is Joel Pavelski there? Also the challenge by Torts was complete and utter stupidity. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted September 21, 2016 Report Posted September 21, 2016 I heard Melrose say that winning faceoffs is all about intensity. Probably smarter than what gets said in USA Hockey team selection meetings. You must mean the Faulk that was a key addition to the Sabres in The Hockey News article, right? I know. And it happens because Team USA picks ###### coaches who pick marquee--rather than performing--players. Why not get a foreign coach like we do for soccer? I heard intensity say that winning Melrose is all about face-offs. The sentence makes just as much sense. Abdelkader? Dubinsky? The Johnsons? These are neither marquee nor performing players. Quote

These are neither marquee nor performing players. If you think Abdelkaler and Dubinsky aren't "names," well... I gotta tell you this. There's a whole television INDUSTRY over Kardashian's daughters.
