With all due respect, can you just.... like suck? You were meant to be bad, why are you winning with the Cleveland Monsters roster? Why is this happening? Can you just let the Metro have 5 teams making the playoffs comfortably and not make it into a thunderdome?

I have no idea. Torts is going to be in the running for coach of the year, will probably win it if he makes the playoffs.

I'd much rather hold on to Marchenko than pick up Toffoli.

If you make the playoffs after everything you've been through, you need to have Elvis tested for PED's, among other things

I read 8-10 weeks and I don't think Taffoli is worth that much but to each their own.

I’d be surprised it he hasn’t been tested already... if fact I’d be surprised if he hasn’t been tested a few times in the last few months...

Lol I second this motion.

No, If they make the playoffs Torts has to win coach of the year. And it should be damn near unanimous at this point. I’m not a Columbus fan buts it’s hard not to root for these guys to get in after everything that keeps happening to them

8-10 might be right where 8 weeks puts him retiring right before playoffs.. how convenient...

I’m not high on Marchenko, I doubt he comes to Columbus and if he does he won’t be here long. LA is much more appealing to Russian players and they have a better chance of him making the jump then we do.

I want the work out he has, every meal he has, the routine he has, like.... my word. His performances are just NUTS

It’s been weird, as soon a Korpisalo went out and torts told him the net was his, a switch was turned and bang, all star goalie and one of the best statistical goalies in the NHL. Crazy how goalies work.... some like the competition of a 1a and 1b others need to know they are the 1 and the other guy is the 2.

*laughs in Latvian*

Fair point. I'd still want the return to be something better if it means trading Marchenko; not a huge fan of Toffoli.

Torts deserves jack adams for sure.
