If yzerman gets him under 9.5 it's a steal Really guys? He doesn't hit anyone anymore and matchups or not his D has stagnated. I'd be offering 8×7.

Has to be because of the system and coach, idk if you've noticed but the team as a whole doesn't play physical at all. As much as Lalose is compared to Blashole I think his teams were harder to play against. We've gone full finesse team only we don't have the skill to finesse anyone outside of our top 5 forwards lol. Really four because Compher hasn't been the same since he came back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When was the last reverse hit you remember seeing? I hope he's more Pronger that Phaneuf but the jury is still out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both under Blashill and now under Lalonde - this team lacks an identity...Certainly not physical, nor highly skilled...Neither brought a system that appears to be working and quite honestly both are more suited for assistant coaching. 2 Rick D and mackel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That dude is unbelievably good at his job. Mick is hilarious, and I love him for all the nostalgia and everything else. But Ken is the driving force of that broadcast. I'm absolutely positive he could freestyle an entire segment out of that Russian dude's name. He's already done it with Kostin and Berggren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought he might be related to former NHLer Vladimir Tsyplakov, but he isnt. Has there ever been another player in the league who over estimated his own value to a team more than Ilya Kovalchuk? That dude was SUCH a loser. I blame Lou Lamoriello (also a total dips***) for it. Apparently Lou cares a great deal if you want to have a beard or long hair and play for his team, but he's less concerned paying you a zillion dollars to half-ass it every game.

Motor City Mullets 267 Report post Posted January 11 Maybe someone can answer this for me, but is there any team out there on pace with Toronto regarding 2ndary players coming and going? 3rd/4th line forwards - 2nd/3rd pair Dmen - goalies - they all seem to have a revolving door...Seems about right though considering where their $$$ is invested.
