Sophomore Jinx Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 7 minutes ago, DeltaSwede said: That's quite the accusation of his character. He's from a tiny little village up in the north. I only mention that because there is no big city diva to be found anywhere close to where he comes from. He struggles with english and is quite the shy (and humble) guy. I thought that was known? His best friends back in Sweden are former refugees that Petey + fam took in and they now are like brothers. Get out of here with that crap. Such a low thing to call someone a snob who couldn't be further from it. It's so weird to me to go out of your way to bash someone elses morality or character when you know absolutely nothing about them. OMG another one. Go have a good cry already for fuck sakes. He does come across as snobbish, and selfish too, it's my opinion, I'm just not married to him like you are. And sweet story about the "refugees", I'm of Swedish heritage too, and Swedes are known to be very generous, not just the multi-millionaires like Petey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially on a team that features bounce back stars like Pettersson, Demko and Boeser. it isn't news that 98% of the people on this website aren't capable of seeing beyond the ends of their noses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Getting a few sad and confused emoji's over my opinions and questions about Toch. So, I feel better. This fan base is knowledgeable and if most of you are completely sold on the idea that this guy is the one to take us to the promise land...awesome. I'll trust in you CFF. But please do let me know if any doubts creep in. It could be a gamble if we blame any slide by the team on this or that player and not the coach. The squad is good enough to make the dance and then some. We have great asst coaches and a GM that is doing very good. Its all on Rick imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5forFighting Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 What are the odds that in the 56 games these two teams have played each other, they are 28 and 28. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers was on the ice for 1 goal, Hughes for 3 and hronek for 4 I think. Should they bench hronek? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should they bench hronek? IF Hronek is awful more often than not, absolutely a benching is warranted, but a night like that was outside of his norm. And Myers' play was more egregious, no? I actually think he wasn't bad, except for the gaffe(s), and therein lies the rub, it's the obvious mistakes he is prone to when under pressure. The others definitely weren't good either, bad actually, but it is much, much less rare an occasion for them to shit the bed than it is with CG.

I still think they should split up H and H, we have some players with size and reach and I think they would both benefit with a partner like that IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this would balance out the pairings. I'd go as far as say put Hronek on PP1 and Hughes on PP2, and reverse for the PK. PK1 Hughes, PK2 Hronek. That should hopefully also reduce their workload? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And.. we didn't even have music videos when I was in high school. Juke Box attached to a very good sound system in the school cafeteria though. MTV/MuchMusic exploded just as I was hitting the last couple years of high school. Vids were so low budget and cheesy for the most part but man did it make music consumption into a whole new thing in many ways 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was absolutely out of the norm. The guy's going to have bad games. He's not going to be awful more often than not. Think about this as far as benchings are concerned ... if Myers isn't getting benched on the regular, Hronek most definitely isn't getting benched at all. And ... There's no doubt that some people have been on the edge of their seat for months, rocking back and forth, seething, drooling, frothing at the mouth, ready and waiting to pounce on Hronek for anything negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
