This doesn't have to be the case- a professional hockey team has the ability to choose what players to roster through the draft and free agency processes. You don't have to have a roster 20 pounds less on average than other NHL teams.
It’s not as if the Habs are small! Lol, they actually rank #5 at 204 lbs average. The problem is that their young big players seriously lack grit, and a few veterans could surely play a bit harder, like Anderson and Armia for instance.
Monty is pretty much what i expected. I never considered him to be a bonafide #1. I’ve mostly seen him as a solid #2 who’s better sharing the net with a veteran #1 goaltender.
Anderson, Armia, Dach & Slafkovski come to mind. Big players who don’t take advantage of their size.
These guys don’t survive in the league anymore, watch Tort go, he is closer to the door than he is to fame. I don’t think Brière will let him take his players down in the media very long.
I’ll be shocked if Torts is replaced this season. Briere loves him. He loves the fact he holds players accountable unlike MSL. Torts has his own style & he does it for the good of the players. He shouldn’t be confused with Mike Babcock, who is simply a very mean, manipulative asshole!
Torts intentions are always good, and I believe he’s still a good coach. That being said, he often ends up publicly pointing fingers at some players and that, rarely ends up well. Although if the Flyers manage to keep their head above the.500 mark, his boss will probably be more patient. And, to tell the truth, I still find his cockiness with the media very entertaining!
Moi aussi…suis tombé endormi.Ouff 13 tirs au buts! Content d’avoir fait autre chose de ma soirée!
The thing people (and players) have always loved about Torts is that he never plays favorites & all players are treated equally by him. If you’re a superstar on the team or a 4th line player &. he feels you’re not pulling your weight he won’t hold nothing back & he’ll let you know it. Players actually respect this & later they usually admit that he’s made them better for it. It ain’t childish mindgames like Mike Babcock or Mike Keenan are notorious of using.
Imagine being one of those suckers who paid hundreds of dollars to attend & spend at the game! LolOuff 13 tirs au buts! Content d’avoir fait autre chose de ma soirée!
Tu gagnes pas trop quand tu shoot seulememt 13 fois dans toute la partie! Ca n’aurais meme pas ete proche si ca n’aurait pas ete pour Monty. Il a ete fabuleux!
I did the same years ago, my cousin had 2 great tickets and couldn’t attend. I told him if he didn’t find any takers 1 hour before the start of the game to let me know. I wasn’t interested to go sit inside an arena watching 2 bad teams. Regular season game, Habs vs Buffalo.
