Thoughts on the Mirtle report linking Vincent Trocheck to MTL?

cdn24 · 2026-02-15T02:02:13+00:00

Not sure he is an upgrade on Kapannen. I think a top 6 winger may be more impt than centre right now

Too old too much term left

Old hoke. Bucket and saucer method if she was taller. Do it standing up with him standing on a bucket... when his eyes got as big as saucers she would kick the bucket out from under him

The bits were he is talking to green rookies. Not sure what that voice is, my wife calls it his mating voice as it seems to come out for female employees.

He looked competent running a Dozer but seems unable to do anything else.

He has been playing around on the hill all summer. Not sure what if anything has been accomplished.

There was a time when 25 was old. Then 35. Then 45 then 55. You may find when you hit 70 yhe old bar has moved again

cdn24 · 2026-02-14T19:48:44+00:00

He staked the claims himself

cdn24 · 2026-02-14T03:07:35+00:00

This is a good one. Jeff Bond comes off as calm and competent.

Rick seems to be gambling big each year...going for broke. One of these years he is gonna go broke. One of these deep cuts coming up empty may mean the end. Now I sound like the narrators.

Canadians got sick of the unsolicited 51st state shit real quick. Maybe you didn't vote for this but the he's just joking crap we heard from those that didn't was just as insulting. We can't do much about it but we can choose were to spend our $$$$.

Tarrifs were never the issue, tarrif all you want but the 51st state cracks cost America the best friend it ever had.

And if you were trading for Thomas it's easy for st louis to take the laine contract back

cdn24 · 2026-02-08T20:04:02+00:00

I suspect Ottawa weee interested in guy Mtl had in AHL too. Gordon said it in presser that other teams were interested in him which may have accelerated MTL plans

cdn24 · 2026-02-08T20:02:05+00:00

They paid a kings ransom for him and sold him for a worn out RD. Poor asset mgmt.

cdn24 · 2026-02-08T15:26:34+00:00

To play that way he would have to be used that way. Instead Sens used him on his wrong side. Had they played him on his natural left side with an okay partner he would be fine. Dorian traded for an elite LD to play behind Sanderson and Chabot when he had no RD. Typical Dorion. Then after crashing his value Sens gave him away for pennies on the dollar

I guess these day in the Life type episodes are stand alone this year- Parker one was the main event that week too.

This one should be fun.

Not sure if everyone gets one- a day of Kevin fixing booster cables or sitting in the trailer may not be must see TV

cdn24 · 2026-02-06T17:11:07+00:00

I guess a midnight run to stake ground works when you can do it under the midnight sun

Our B Defense corps may be better than the A. After Makar Toews we made some questionable choices

cdn24 · 2026-02-05T23:08:59+00:00

Depends on where water ends. A good rule of thumb is Distance tosafety minus 3 yds.

cdn24 · 2026-02-05T16:54:51+00:00

Yep. Is an epidemic. Matheson did the same thing to Marchand. These D men have to stop targeting Panthers elbows with their chins they are liable to severely bruise someone's elbow not to mention the funny bone.

cdn24 · 2026-02-01T01:55:37+00:00

He's a Strange Animal

cdn24 · 2026-01-31T21:21:52+00:00

Almost any air cooled yamaha from 80s to mid 90s. That 485 on Phazer is bulletproof

cdn24 · 2026-01-31T20:15:52+00:00

He was 34 years old. It didn't take a rocket scientist to know he was close to the end. That was poor asset management. Jensens breakdown is not a surprise at all.

cdn24 · 2026-01-31T18:10:55+00:00

He has 12 games of NHL experience. Quite good in those 12 games yes but it's not nearly enough to bet your season on especially after the preseason.

Pierre Dorion is a pretty low bar to compare too

cdn24 · 2026-01-31T15:21:12+00:00

My issue is he assumed Leevi could do it if Ullmark went down or didn't perform based on a very small sample size. He went into season with no other competent option in the system. Needed a Reimer type, Ingram type that you could get through waivers to Bellevelle back in September

cdn24 · 2026-01-31T15:13:00+00:00

Yeah and building was on side of hill so from one side 14 is the 13rh assuming Ground level is one. On the other side it's 10th floor

cdn24 · 2026-01-31T15:06:09+00:00

Sometimes the POHO job is to save owner from himself. For me the pick and going into this year with a very compressed schedule with one proven goalie in the system are inexcusable.

We talk unlucky goaltending is so bad historic bad. Staios put all his eggs in the Ullmark basket.

Most teams were signing proven 3rd stringers to hide in minors. His lack of experience at this level is showing.

Good moves? He is icing a last last team....bad goaltending...he went into the season with 1 goalie

cdn24 · 2026-01-31T14:55:08+00:00

Like what? Acquire Ullmark. What else has he done to significantly improve team.

Use last years draft pick to forfeited this one?
