NHL 15-16 Regular Season Thread: F I R E _ T H E R R I E N

Oh, Ortio is terrible. But with a 10-2 record on the way, you don't get to complain about shit

[Deader2818]

3 games in 4 nights, and Therrien has benched the entire second line...SMRTTTT
Habs scored 3 goals in 5 shots in the second period, must be great coaching. Or maybe its that Ortio cant stop a beach ball.

When the habs do great but its in spite of Therrien but when they do bad its all because of Therrien.

Great logic.

No, games 2-6 or so were great games, where Davey wasnt getting first line treatment, the team was attacking, the lines were balanced...and then Therrien started doing Therrien things.

We lose a game against Vancouver where Price was beat off ridiculous bounces 3 times, one time he tried to show off too much, and one time Davey (Therrien's pet) lost a DZone draw then let his man sit in the slot uncontested to do whatever the fuck he wanted...so MT benches Semin and puts Brian Flynn on the second line with Chucky and Eller. BRIAN FLYNN LOL. Now the second line looks like shit because you have two players playing new positions (Eller has minimal experience as a winger, and Chucky has even less experience as a C at the NHL level), and to top that off, they have to carry Bryan Flynn.

Rangers are 7-2-2 with long playoff runs the last few years and I still think they have played like shit every game save for two this year.

He may bitch a lot but fans of teams notice a lot of little things that outsiders don't.

And you're whining annoys people as well.

Bottom line is, if you're team is winning and you're crying about it, its going to annoy people. I'm not above this as I cried during the whole 2012 playoff run because i was expecting us to have an epic collapse like we always seem to have but we pulled through. My whining has gone down a lot since 2012 and you didn't hear me bitch or complain at all last year even though we missed the playoffs.

[Vaspinne]

I should have re-worded that. You're free to complain, but you'll get absolutely zero sympathy and a shit-ton of disdain from everyone else lol

Thats because you won two cups in two years, and something something pot kettle. I mean, the verb is named after you.

MTL has one good offensive top six forward. Nynja acts like Therrien is benching Top line snipers for mediocre 2 way grinders, when in reality he is benching decent two way grinders for mediocre two way grinders. If Therrien was pulling a Hunter and benching Ovechkin to play Beagle, I would get it, but he is benching Lars Eller to play Dale Weise, gimme a break...

Two cups in three years.

And like I said, i stopped after 2012 yet people like you love to bring up something that happened over 3 years ago. But that's pretty much your MO for everything.

What makes this statement even funnier is that Weise has 2 goals tonight.

I don't find it funny.

Did you see the goals, or were you just looking at the score sheet?

The guy whose team is losing and is 2-7-1 and bitching a lot less than the guy whose team is winning and is 9-2 lol.

[BadKarma]

You were doing so well, Sally Mae.


Also, complained like once all year thus far, eat my ass.

[Deader2818]

hint:

a goal is a goal is a goal. Sometimes a coach sees something from players hes not liking and they get their ice time cut. Sutter will do this a lot. Hes messing with the lines a lot.

I dunno if I should be proud or sad.

My point is all the same. If you're winning and crying about it people will find it annoying. Im not at all above admitting I did this. But like I said I havent bitched at all in over 3 years but you and Nynja make it seem like all I have be doing for the past 4 years is cry about my team lol.

[Vaspinne]

Before we all start collectively shitting on the Flames goaltending, let it be known that I've been saying none of the 3 guys are good starters for the team since before last season.

And much like I've been calling TJ Brodie a top-ranked defencemen in the making since the 2012-13 season, I'm calling it now, JON GILLIES IS OUR FUTURE!!!

Paul Byron (claimed off waivers before the season started and got his first taste of action yesterday) has 9:14 TOI, playing on the fourth line
Alex Galchenyuk (3rd overall pick in 2012 and expected to be our future #1C) has 9:00 TOI, playing on the second line

Go back to crying about the refs pls.

and both are mediocre, clearly Byron isn't taking Gally's ice time, so he is taking from someone else who is even more mediocre
