Episode 93 of the Hockey Free For All 03-17-2024

Hello Hockey Fan’s, If you love hockey, take a listen to Episode 93 of the Hockey Free For All Podcast Content Includes-

#1. The NHL has clearly overstepped its authority by suspending Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella for 2 games and fining him 50,000 dollars. John Tortorella Calls it as he sees it.

#2. The officials in all sports have been horrendously bad for decades and are not beyond questioning in any way. Any league and the executives that believes officials are beyond question, have got it really wrong and backwards.

#3. How has officiating been able to remain so bad after video replay was not only made available, but was instituted within the game, that should have eliminated poor officiating, any and all missed calls within the game, shouldn’t it?

#4. The league officials and its executives deserve every bit of criticism they have received.

#5. I absolutely applaud 100%, the response of the Philadelphia Flyer’s CEO Dan Hilferty to Al Morganti of NBC Sports that he would pay the entire amount of what ever fine the NHL imposed on head Coach John Tortorella.

#6. Those that are predicting that the Philadelphia Flyers will crash and burn before the 2023/2024 season wraps up, should know that they have just provided the most fantastic bulletin board fuel to the Flyers to not only continue there outstanding season, but go deep into the playoff, and if there anyone who feeds off of those kinds of remarks and statement, its John Tortorella, and I truly hope Tortorella make all of these predictors choke on their comments.

In case you’re not on board with the stupidity of the league, try to explain this rationally.  Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher was hit with a longer suspension than New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe, and I have no problem with Rempe, that made since to someone?

#7. I am taking great enjoyment watching all the Kent Hughes questioners choke on their words.

#8. Montreal had a great 2023/2024 trade season.

#9. The 3-goaltender system worked great in Montreal. It allowed everyone time and growth, the team is in a rebuild and evaluation mode and Jake Allen's influence will make an enormous positive impact on Cayden Primeau's and Sam Montembeau’s careers. Cayden Primeau will ascend to the number one goalie position in Montreal.
