Thank You Sens for Exposing for the Frauds we really are.

Fire Therrien

Who do you want to replace him?

You Know who

Babcock.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Bolts

fuck Marchand! I've never hated someone I've never met so much

 

[vatstep]

Bruins win a shootout?!

is this real

The Cup is ours

 

[Silexx]

Habs are lucky that Boston is suddenly unable to lose.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

You Know who

Babcock.

Right but realistically

 

[Marvie_3]

Hawks actually play tonight. I think theyve only played about 2 games in the last month or so.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Right but realistically

Dan Bylsma?

Wait does he speak French?

Fuck it I'll take Roy as Coach

 

[lamaroo]

Who do you want to replace him?

Nearly anybody, unfortunately Montreal has maybe an even worse coach in Hamilton right now, so they can't promote from within the organization.

Guy Boucher is probably at the top of the plausible list, Babcock is the dream. There are a couple of junior coaches I wish they had groomed in the meantime, but I'd be a little weary about hiring another rookie coach.

[calder]

Everyone hypnotized by how slow jagr is, totally forget about barkov

 

[zroid]

Something different from usual:

 

[gaming_noob]

Therrien better not be back next season.

So sick of this shit.

The Leafs thought Carlyle was their problem...

what the fuck lol

The Leafs thought Carlyle was their problem...

They thought he was a problem. Which he was.

Likewise Therrien is a problem.

edit: also 5 unanswered goals? really habs?

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I'd be on my 5th hotdog right now if I went to the game tonight.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Good Night Everyone.

Your Welcome Cake Boss.

The Leafs thought Carlyle was their problem...

Therrien is our Problem. Like Randy was yours.

It's getting Ridiculous now.

 

[fallout]

Sigh.

 

[Smiley90]

oh god we're playing the Shits tonight

tonight we're all Canucks? I mean, who doesn't want to see LA miss the playoffs?

Spoiler

We'll lose anyway, sorry beforehand

 

[lamaroo]

The Leafs thought Carlyle was their problem...

Therrien is the problem, his stats/fancy stats are nearly identical every year he coaches. He relies on players like Crosby, Malkin, and Price to get wins, while playing a "safe" system that leads to no possession, too many turnovers, and no offense other than from elite scorers.

He's a garbage tier coach. Fuck I'm really salty right now, hate his stupid ass.

 

[GSG Flash]

#1 goalie Andrew Hammond did it again.

EK>PK

All is right in the world (except for the Bruins winning)

 

[DrForester]

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Jarome Iginla has scored a goal in tonight's game against the New Jersey Devils.

 

[Mr.Green]

Price gave 5 and Patches lost a testicle at the end.

Cancel the playoffs.

 

[Cake Boss]

Andrew Hammond > Carey Price.

 

[Xeteh]

Iginla will go down as one of those great Avalanche players. I can't believe he was an unknown before joining this team.

 

[calder]

Sigh.

Where did it all go to shit. Perraults injury was the start for me, and the goalies playing much worse after the all star break for whatever reason.

 

[Smiley90]

Iginla will go down as one of those great Avalanche players. I can't believe he was an unknown before joining this team.

You mean he won't retire as a Bruin? :/

 

[zroid]

#1 cop on the force doing work. Canes lose, Jackets win. I'll take it!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Iginla will go down as one of those great Avalanche players. I can't believe he was an unknown before joining this team.

I could of Swore he was on a western Canadian Team... But which one was it hmmm. Yeah that Rookie Iginla is so good.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I can't stop laughing at this stupid ass team. Fuck me I will never figure it out.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Iginla will go down as one of those great Avalanche players. I can't believe he was an unknown before joining this team.

wat, for my sanity this has to be a joke post

 

[Freyjadour]

What the Christ Mason

 

[Unhandled Exception]

wat

This is what good drafting gets you. Jaromey Hockey will be a legend.

 

[Erdrick]

Sigh.

I feel your pain. I can feel the season slipping away again...

Where did it all go to shit. Perraults injury was the start for me, and the goalies playing much worse after the all star break for whatever reason.

Byfuglien, Little, Perrault, now with Myers being hurt (Maybe? Not sure of the details yet.) ugh... The momentum has been on a downturn for a while or so now. I really hope they can turn it around but it feels like the season is lost again.

I've been to 16 Jets games this year and they've won 13 of those games... It's a shame if they can't cash in on this season, but it's really looking like they are in a spiral going down...

 

[Xeteh]

This is what good drafting gets you. Jaromey Hockey will be a legend.

I can't believe we drafted MacKinnon one year and this Iginla kid the next.

 

[Cake Boss]

I don't think a goalie has been this popular with the fanbase as Hamburger is right now.

 

[zroid]

Yotes!

 

[Marvie_3]

That was awful

 

[Freyjadour]

This is the best goaltending performance I've seen all year. Fucking Mason.

 

[Silexx]

I don't think a goalie has been this popular with the fanbase as Hamburger is right now.

At least it makes the drive for 9th pretty entertaining.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I don't think a goalie has been this popular with the fanbase as Hamburger is right now.

Are you guys going to make him you're Back Up yet? Because he got the Job IMO.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Thank god Scott Gomez didn't score on us

 

[Marvie_3]

Holy shit a power play goal!

 

[zroid]

man there are a lot of Hawks jerseys in the crowd :lol

 

[Marvie_3]

man there are a lot of Hawks jerseys in the crowd :lol

Its almost like a home game when Chicago plays in Phoenix & Florida.

 

[TheExecutive]

Briere had an amazing move... Again.

 

[Foggy]

#1 cop on the force doing work. Canes lose, Jackets win. I'll take it!

Oof, wake me when the playoffs start

 

[Marvie_3]

Smith is such a bitch.

 

[lamaroo]

Haven't been to hfboards in a while, but I needed more Therrien hate to fuel me. Looks like it has taken over every thread, I love it.

Therrien deployed the same kind of strategies for:
MTL 1.0
PIT
MTL 2.0

For his best seasons with the Pens, 2006-07 (105pts) & 2007-08 (102pts):

2006-07, 5v5:
GF: 14th
GA: 15th
CF%: 28th
Note: Crosby won the Art, Hart & Ted Lindsay + Malkin won the Calder that year.

2007-08, 5v5:
GF: 14th
GA: 7th
CF%: 29th

2008-09 was a disaster defensively, 21st in GA, until he was fired.

Everywhere he went his "system" had to be carried by elite talents and he never managed to come up with a plan to put his team over the top, like good coaches are able to do. The guy is a fraud.
