Twice to the Stanley Cup Final with bad goaltending.

How is that guy the problem?
Nurse and Bouchard.....you forgot them. Goaltending probably bails them out a bit, but honestly t$20M for two defenseman that are probably in the bottom half of the league defensively when it comes to the percentage of turnovers and mistakes that have ended up in their own net on the ensuing play.
Those guys are just imperfect players in a Canadian market. It's Larry Murphy in Toronto all over again.

The graphic literally starts: “Evan Bouchard didn’t deserve the Norris.”

Torts is gonna Torts. Some guys just can't change. That said, I wonder how McCrimmon feels about his parachutist coach costing him a 2nd-round pick - which is not insignificant??

Then again, this is Bettman's NHL. Watch the league backtrack and just make it the last pick in the round - like with Ottawa.

Then they'll bitch when it happens again.

So strange that he did that. They won! Imagine if they had lost that series.

Vegas doesn't draft players.

They buy & trade for players.

They take risks and gamble.

Bill Foley is a MAGA Cowboy takin' chances play to win at all costs MF'er.

Probably laughed his ass off and sent Torts a bottle of Cristal.

And now the league has provided Torts an us against the world rallying point heading into a series as a big 'dog versus the Avs.

Dumb like fox.....

☝🏼

Hadn’t thought of it that way Donny, but now that you mention it, if Vegas manages to upset Colorado, Torts (and his antics) comes off looking like a coaching genius.

5 Conference Finals already in 9 years.

Us 3, all successful, but 3 in 56, fucking hell.
