Man, I thought if anyone could manage/coach JT and this team, it would have been Tocc. I mean, he got a career year out of Millzy just last year and he made Millzy look like a player that every team would covet. The team came within a game to the conference finals. If we didn't get hit with the injury bug with Brockstar6 and Demmer35 and if EP40 was scoring at a reasonable ppg, we would have upset the Oil.

I think were going ok for the most part this season, but after JT came back from his mysterious absence, it seems like the team just went down the toilet. :(

We have seen this song and dance from JT b4. He doesn't like criticism and can act pouty and like a baby. I remember on a lazy play a few yrs ago, L.Schenn said something to him and JT pretty much did the same thing.

I recently watched a podcast with EP40 interviewed by E.Friedman and J.Marek from a couple yrs ago. They asked Petey who was one guy in the dressing room who he respects and would keep no matter what. Petey said Schenner and I think I can see why now. A solid character vet like Schenn (maybe even I.Cole) who is not afraid to keep JT accountable. Let's face it, our soft spoken guys like EP40, Huggy43, Brockstar6 and Demmer35 are prob too scared of JT to say something to him. :?

That's something I can agree with.

By "Coach's job", I meant by having a capable coach.
Short of permanently scratching this guy what's to be done by a coach?

If what HW is reporting (albeit gossip) is true, and he was traded out of NY for similar, and then Tampa chose to go with Killorn and Palat over Miller right before winning their first Cup.....the NMC is all on JR/PA and if JT won't waive, then what is Tocchet supposed to do?
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

I think we blame JT too much. He is part of this shit show and the pressure can’t be easy. A new address could be the cure and he goes back to PPG player.

This whole team is having a drag on the players, coaches and management and not to forget the fans.

RT is the easiest change they can make and that happens today or tomorrow.

Reef that's three coaches in four years.

Desharnais makes Zack McEwen look tough. What the fuck was that shit? What is the point? It looked like the Dude and Rosie Rottencrotch wrestling over a flap of bump at the Pat on Welfare Wednesday.

Why they chopped Jonah Gadjovich and kept Dude and Puke Stroker favorite Justin Dowling is beyond me.

This team needs a set of testicles.

I don’t like it Blob but it is the easiest.

The question is who is out there and how much better are they with this team?

I feel sorry for Quinn Hughes. If this starts affecting him, dreading coming to the rink, we are screwed.

Team toughness isn’t about knuckle draggers. Team toughness is about playing for each other. Ffs how long have y’all been hockey fans? This isn’t the 70’s.

Moi aussi.

Just Don't It.

Also stay away from the toxic media stirring up the hornet's nest to drive clicks. They've always wanted the trade the one guy solution, but the fix requires much more than that. It first and foremost needs an influx of capable NHL-calibre defencemen. It's too obvious, obviously.

Perhaps Wee Lander and D Petey are NHL capable in a couple of seasons... ain't nobody got time for that shit. The captain's hourglass is going to be running out of sand soon.
Heavy is the Tarp... :cry:
