    I think Doc is great. Better than anyone on HNIC except maybe Hughson. The others put me to sleep. Doc makes the game so much more exciting.

    Also, isn't it time to put John Torterella down? I am getting tired of his antics especially with the media. I don't mind the antics as much if they're playing good, but they are not playing well John, so stop blaming everyone except yourself. You have a lot of underachievers on your team, and that can only be your fault.

    Get rid of him.

    100% agree. This guy imo is a disgrace to coaching right now. He has one speed and that it to be as much of a bitch as he possibly can.

    Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).

    Agreed. His schtick is old and the shine has worn off that penny.

    Goalies are only as good as the team they play for, unless you're Lundqvist. Just ask any Philly goalie from the past 30 years?

    Some example this year;

    -Schneider
    -Fleury
    -Halak
    -Miller
    -Smith
    -Quick
    -Elliot
    -Kiprusoff-just to name a couple.

    I never overpay for a goalie unless its the middle of the year, and they are having a great year.

    Quick gets the B2B start. Lays a turd in the second game, yet is still the starter for the next game. Drop Bernier for Brent Burns because I have an empty d slot and I'm tired of carrying a backup.

    Quick gets torched for 3 goals on 12 shots and suddenly Bernier is relevant again.

    Sigh....

    My goals are Lundy, Quick and Nemi and Im 2nd last in GA. They have what is a championship team fighting for a playoff spot.

    Why oh why...

    Whyyyyy did I trade my Andrew Ladd and John Carlson for Jaden Schwartz and Danny Briere last summer?

    Back then I looked at it like my D could afford to lose Carlson and I was getting Nash and Parise at LW anyway. I wish I knew Ladd would be a scoring machine for Winnipeg and that my team would sorely need the blocked shots from Carlson. Briere has been barely okay but not more and I know that I got Schwartz as a prospect and didn't expect him to produce anything for a couple seasons, but still... whyyyyyyyy did I do that trade? Bad asset management The part that annoys me the most is that I could have gotten Nick Bjugstad instead of Schwartz and right now I want him more
    GO WINGS!

    I dealt Voracek for Frolik and Dalpe 2 years ago. Also acquired Zajac in 2 leagues but can't remember what for...but it was too much. Yeah.

    I drafted Voracek and Filatov in their rookie seasons, but the time came when I could only hang onto one and neither had really been doing a ton as one might expect with players that young (and on the Jackets to boot). I initially chose Voracek because i liked his game a little better from what i had seen, but then switched to Filatov at the last moment because he had the higher upside, you know?

    Went to the Rangers/Flyers game a couple weeks ago. Watching Voracek out there actually made me a little nauseous.

    And another thing! Is it just me or does Boston have the biggest collection of players that look like cavemen? Horton and especially Lucic should be enough on their own but then they also have Marchand who is just flat out fugly!

    Agree? Disagree? Add your own random annoyances or gripe about how mine are stupid!
    My buddy was in the elevator with Lucic at the RitzCarlton Toronto. He was going to say something, but the second he opened his mouth Lucic growled at him. He got off on the next floor.
