GUESS WHOSE GOING TO COLUMBUS

Karri Ramo is on waivers.

Buffalo needs a Goalie right now

 

[Pikma]

Give up a 2nd pick for Tortorella? Why are the Columbus Blue Jackets boycotting themselves?

 

[Cake Boss]

Legit would rather have Ramo than Hammond.

There's your goalie BJs.

Habs should sign the baby now.

He's just injured

Oh.

 

[MetatronM]

Tanner Glass has been reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack.

Sounds like the same lineup tomorrow with Henrik Lundqvist in net.

I honestly don't think we're a bubble team anymore. We didn't steal a single game, we won all of them fair and square

yes we're missing a top 6 right winger, that's for sure

I definitely don't think the Habs are a bubble team. I just think they are juuuust a step below the teams who've won the Cup in the past 5-6 years. Another stud winger might put them over the hump.

I thought this last year after they stole Petry from Edmonton. Signing Plek was top on the to-do list, so now it's full speed ahead. Maybe something can happen at the trade deadline but that's not critical.

Even if they don't get another elite winger, they're getting production from 3 lines. The gambles on Semin and Fleischmann are starting to look like they'll pay off. Kassian was a bust because he's an idiot, but he wasn't a critical piece. The team is solid. Go Habs.

I'd love to see a trade for a top six winger before the end of the season, slide Eller down to the third line, and make one of our 4th liners disappear.

and i'll say it again, if someone calls for McCaron, Scherbak or any pick including the 1st for a top 6 winger, do it. The window is opening right now and we can't miss it, otherwise we'll end up being the Canucks 2.0 and nobody wants that

 

[MultiJhonny]

Not surprising to see but Neuvirth is back in goal tonight.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Canucks play the Blue Jackets on Nov. 10. Should be fun.

Sorry CBJ fans, but thanks for the second round pick.

I thought Ramo was doing well. Getting torched by Washington isn't really unexpected. Guess they'll bring up Ortio to back up Hiller.

Smiley pls. I'm considering play/stream Life is Strange Episode 5 on Wednesday or Thursday (most likely Thursday). Feel free to join my stream and cry along with me 9PM PST start if I do it !

By the way, how long did Episode 5 take you to finish ?

Not very long, maybe like an hour or 2 i think?

 

[Socreges]

No, you won't:

What a joke. Kid is wasting away in the press box. He doesn't belong in the NHL yet and the Leafs know it.

Ramo on waivers and a bunch of nonsense rumors of Bennett for stamkos again, sigh

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Torts really toned down his media antics in Vancouver. It wasn't much of a circus until he tried to jump Hartley.

His biggest mistake was probably playing the wheels off of the Sedins. They went from top 10 in scoring around December to career lows by the end.

People blame him for running Luongo out of town but I don't really think it was his fault. Luongo was already at the edge because of fans/media/Gillis and Torts just pushed him over. Torts was trying to do his job and win a hockey game.

The Sedins blocking shots and killing penalties was a low point in Canucks' history.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

No GM in their right mind would think Stamkos could be had for Bennet.

Torts took a team featuring Brandon Dubinsky to the Eastern Conference Finals just 3 years ago! You guys are golden.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

who else thought this youtube red was something else >_>

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Torts' style didn't fit the Canucks and I don't think he was familiar enough with the Western conference (and Canada). Columbus seems to fit his style more and it's out East like the Rangers and Tampa are.

 

[Quick]

YouTube could benefit by having an adult section.

Call it...RedTube or something.

 

[Parch]

Really can't believe another team was stupid enough to give Torts another coach job. Unreal.

Giving up a pick for that biohazard just makes it even more unbelievable. Desperate times call for desperate measure? Nope. That's just stupid illogical measures.

 

[Foggy]

Best to simplify it. He's had success and he's flamed out spectacularly. Some think he's a good fit, a bunch think he coaches in the stone-age. Everyone has had a laugh at him (just search his name on youtube). In the presser, he said all the right things. There'll be a million thinkpieces saying it's just what they need and others saying it's stone idiotic. Just gotta wait and see. We're stuck with him for better or worse. Oh and we'll probably fork over a 2018 2nd round pick to the Canucks because of a silly rule.

Great. Well it couldn't get any worse than it was going to be honest. Guess well just wait and see. Hopefully we pull one out on Thursday. We're in for a rough road stretch.

 

[Socreges]

I'm so glad Tortorella is back. He's not a good coach, but he can be very entertaining. Plus, y'know, 2nd rounder.

I do expect the BJs to have some brief, fleeting success before he burns them out.

Jack Adams and Stanley Cup winner.

I'm not a Tortorella fan, and his tenure in Vancouver was disastrous (especially watching the success Vigneault has had with NYR), but he will be a much better short term fit for the BJs, who play a hardworking style that fits his approach to the game.

 

[Red_Man]

The Torts hire is one of those NHL moves where every single outside source believes it to be bat shit crazy.

I thought Kekäläinen was suppose to be a really smart hockey guy too.
