I know that it isn't because a majority of people agree on something that they're necessarily right, but you're literally the only one I've heard saying he's overpaid... shouldn't that tell you something?

they're not bad I tells you. they really aren't.

those are true pads. they were actually the first ones on the website where i was making all those gear designs the other day. i could have changed the colors on his pads too.

they are better than primeau's pads. although i see ambition in primeau's pads, just poor execution.

I guess on the website you can order the exact model a certain goalie is wearing..?

also, thoughts on Torts being fined 50k and getting a 2 game suspension? unless he threatened to literally kill someone I find it's completely ridiculous.

i barely followed the situation but he must've said something pretty harsh. i think him not leaving the bench is a big part of it too.

i think the team said they're paying his fine so they must agree with whatever it was he said.

I just think the fine and suspension is totally exaggerated when you compare it to what players can get for a dangerous play... if I'm a flyers fan I think I'd rally behind the coach and management supporting him.

heck, even when refs are caught red-handed admitting that they're looking for a penalty to even things out while their mic is on, they have zero consequences lol.

Coaches do not have a CBA.

NHL is somewhat limited towards players, but a player suspended for 2 games is likely losing about the same salary.

also, Trots is an bumhole, so whatever.

but players in average are making much more than coaches... and even if Torts is a total jerk, it's an issue when refs have the power to kick someone out of a game while they have complete immunity.

Meh.

Don't be an bumhole and you don't get kicked out.

He was likely warned. He decided to keep going. His own fault.

He has been coaching long enough to know better.

Suspended for 1 game is about $12,000 per million in salary.

I think that kind of depends on what exactly was said. your logic is under the assumption that refs never abuse of their authority, which would be naive imho.
