When did Vancouver decide to become the Goon Squad?

[Angel Oracle]

Back-to-back games with around 70 penalty minutes against the Kings and Ducks?

Did they sign the Hanson Brothers?

Hey Sestito, the 1970s called, they want the gooning back!

[nate]

The wheels fell off during the Ducks game.

 

Ducks scored 6 PP goals against them though so I am OK with it.

[bucbrett]

They've always been packed with goons. Bieksa, Sestito, Kassian is dirty too. The Nucks that aren't goons are floppers. Kesler, Burrows, those Sedin creeps (I'm certain they've got bodies hidden somewhere).

I do not like the Canucks.

[Angel Oracle]

No worries, they are still Cup less, that makes ALL of our days!

[Thomas]

Apparently not satisfied with their previous efforts, they have turned it up against the Flames /facepalm

 

 

[Tank]

Tortorella has lost control of this team. Either that or they're playing exactly as he wants them to. Whatever it is, the Canucks have turned into a team filled with punks and goons.

Their last three road games they lost 1-0, 9-1, and 1-0. Gotta be a tough time for fans and players in Vancouver these days.

Had no idea those teams hated each other.

Tortorella looks like a complete jerk.

[xboom28x]

Who is really at fault here though? Calgary started their goon line. Tortorella kind of had no choice but to start his. I think Calgary was trying to take advantage of Vancouver here.

 

Either way, I blame Canada

[Tank]

Word is tortorella has been summoned to New York for a meeting with the nhl brass.

[xboom28x]

Tortorella was definitely in the wrong for trying to get into the Calgary locker room. He should be fined and suspended for that action alone. Regardless of Calgary's intent, you just can't do that.

[Angel Oracle]

Does Tortorella have a long past with promoting goon hockey?

Who does he think he is?

Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken?

Vancouver has been a disgrace to the NHL for the past week!

Gotta love Calgary sending out Westgarth for the opening face off.

Torts pulled the same act when he coached the Rangers two years ago vs Devils. Just google Rangers Devils line brawl. This was like deja-vu

Tort suspended 15 days.  6 games.

I ****ing love Torts. 

[Tank]

"we have a lot of cameras and we're going to need them."

[NJHalo]

Cory- You love Torts until he coaches your team. His act gets old real quick.

 

Does not get the most out of his star players, and alienates the young guys when the make a mistake.

 

I am glad he is gone.

Oh, I would never want him as my coach. I just love watching what he does.

Vancouver was better off with Vignault.
