You have no base calling Leafs fans delusional from now on then.

After a historic first half of the 2016-17 NHL season, the Columbus Blue Jackets have hit a bump in the road. And according to reports, the team has asked coach John Tortorella to weather it more calmly.

Columbus has gone 8-8-1 since riding a 16-game win streak throughout December. The slide has let the Penguins and Rangers sneak up on the Blue Jackets, leaving the Ohio team in a precarious position. No doubt tensions are higher than normal in Columbus.

During a Hockey Night in Canada intermission report on Saturday, Sportsnet reporters Elliotte Friedman and Nick Kypreos reported that Blue Jackets players had met with Tortorella recently to ask him to stay positive:

Honeymoon's over.

Team has been bad. They deserve whatever hurt feelings they're catching.

 

[Reckheim]

Agh, the leafs, the only Ontario team good enough to be in the race.

So proud.

 

[Line_HTX]

And then there's that whole entitlement thing too

Sounds like a want for the ancient shit days of having a dynasty. Fucking gross as shit.

That game last night was definitely the most Tortsy I've seen the Blue Jackets play, I'll say that much.

Goodbye Terry Ross. Your Dunks were vicious but you were inconsistent as hell, will miss him.

My mind's a little blown by this.

A friend and I were *just* chatting about the Raptor's inactivity when this news dropped.

How about this.

We don't go after Duchene but look for a Plekanec replacement which we should've been doing in the first place. I was thinking Montreal trade Plekanec to Winnipeg for a couple of players

 

[Razorskin]

AGally doesn't show enough respek so I think he'll be booted

it doesn't make sense. Duchene is known to be a troublemaker or whatever

calm down y'all

 

[Razorskin]

But his commie/60 is much lower than AGally's.

 

[Reckheim]

I would hope the leafs wouldn't be going after Tavares during the off season.

He would make a much better fit in Montreal.

He also said that Bergevin is trying to clear out Desharnais / Pleks but good luck with that.

I'm just going to laugh if Montreal gets Duchene but trades away Galchenyuk anyway.

Can't have two high end centres.

No no no stop

I want Perreault from the Jets (Salary retained of course) that's for sure and someone to play with Weber that's not a offensive black hole like Emelin

Huh? We'd still have Danault.

Roman Polak is elite offensively

Emelin and Polak are basically the same player but Polak is worse

Habs lose 5 games after the bye week, Therrien is fired and replaced by Julien, Habs kill the Bruins in the playoffs and leads the team to a cup

-scene-

 

[Line_HTX]

I like how Bask is the voice of reason amidst the panicking Habs fans.

 

[ElephantShell]

We all know that the trade deadline will come and go with only minor tinkering and maybe one big trade from 2 teams nobody in this thread even cares about.

 

[Cake Boss]

Habs fans turning into leafs fans.

 

[imBask]

i'm always the voice of reason, Red and Solo are basically Leafs fans right now

EDIT : see, cake and I agree

I can see Carolina going after Duchene because it makes the most sense. They have a shit ton of young Defenceman.

 

[Simon Belmont]

Too early to bring this back?

This team is a lot different than the one that went 9-0-0 last year, but they'll still need to address some holes if they want a chance to go all the way. Pleks decline over the last 18 months has been unreal.

I've been told he's not even a top 45 dman

I'd enjoy seeing you list a Habs team from the past 20 years that had a better, more talented roster with as much as this one has. I'll wait.

Remember how it was going to be so different this year?

 

[Razorskin]

STOP STOP HE'S ALREADY DEAD

Lol yes, same team, absolutely nothing has changed, will definitely miss the playoffs.

Lol I love this board 😍

The salt in here the last few days has been so good

I mean I've also had my part to play in it, but still.

Considering how many Canadian teams might get into the playoffs, we might get nuked like the NBA thread come playoff time.

Playoffs are going to be special this year. After a post season with lowered sodium content thanks to no Canadian teams there seems to be a built up excess looming ...
