If you don't like the Department you get hired on, pout and sulk for a couple of months like Carter did in Columbus, you will get reassigned to the Department of your choice! Hold out for Beverley Hills PD.

i have no interest in actually looking this up, but i really want to because i know this is 100% speculation/assumption on your part.

Not really speculation. Just can't remember it happening all that often. I could be wrong, but I think for the most part teams use 6 defensemen.

Why does the Rangers 6th d-man play 4 minutes a game?

Great formula, play one 7 game series, after another, and play 5 dmen.

Because John Tortorella is convinced that he's a hockey genius who knows more about the game than Scotty Bowman, Fred Shero and Anatoli Tarasov combined .

Thank you Bill! Needed a laugh. Did you see his press conference? Does this guy get his rocks off treating other human beings like dirt? I mean there isn't a bigger jerk around than this guy.

ducks in 07 and hawks in 10 are two cup winners since lockout that had one of their top-six playing less than 10 mins a night.

also, this search reminded me of 'canes d in 06 playoffs and good lord. you play that season 1000 times and i'm convinced that that was the one time in which carolina wins (or that edmonton team gets to the finals even for that matter)

And, as pompous as Tortorella is, I'd love to see the Flyers treat their more inane media members like he treats...well everyone

Now the media complains about it. Tortorella, jerk or not, has been fined twice for comments. He deals with media almost as bad as some of our local beat guys, why feed them?

It's like with Bryzgalov. The media had a quote machine, who is a little nuts. As I said last week, the local media had the goose that laid the golden eggs. They killed it to make McNuggets, then complained when there were no more eggs.

As much as I dislike Tortorella, I hate seeing media members complain about his act even more

Honestly, the media should just ignore him after a game. He's such an attention whore, the next day at the skate he'd be begging for questions.

The thing is, without the coaches and players, the media wouldn't have a job.

You are exactly right. They should. Tortorella makes it all about himself with this crap. I'm stunned that the owners he works for allows him to act like this. Regardless of wins and losses, when you represent a franchise you have to have some decorum.

If they win a Stanley Cup I doubt anyone in the organization gives a crap about what Torts says to the media.

Torts is a jerk, no question. So are a lot of the media members he's being a jerk towards. Rather than complaining about Tortorella, maybe they should simply ask the players and stop feeding the beast. His goal is to take the heat and scrutiny off his team. Mission accomplished.

What's the media talking about tomorrow in the Devils-Rangers series? Not that it's tied, or that the Devils controlled the play for long stretches....they'll be talking about Torts.

jsaq, if the flyers were to sign justin schultz, i guess it wouldn't be similar to the contracts that read and testwuide signed? it could be for more (or less) than 3 years and more than 900k per?

I just hate the media complaining about how difficult their job is. Who the Hell wants to hear a guy female dog about how hard his job is? I don't.

Remember, the media gets paid to go watch a hockey game. They get fed for free. They get access to talk to the players, coaches and front office people.

We as fans, pay hundreds of dollars to go see the games and have a beer & some food. I don't need to hear some guy getting paid to go see the game cry because the coach is a jackass.
