Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

Not as bad as Matherson. I'd still deem it unnecessary though. Give him the gate for a game.

Morrissey is a repeat offender as well (that cross-check on Staal of the Wild in last year's playoffs) so that will likely factor into the decision as well.

By the way, Eric Francis called that finishing move the TJ Takedown.

It was similar to the Matheson hit on Dekey Pete, but it was more of a "hockey play" in my opinion rather than throwing a guy down to the ice.

Looks more to me like Oshie just weighs a lot more than Vancouver Gretzky.

Vancouver Gretzky >>> Young Crosby

You know who might be a nice replacement for Arvidsson - William Nylander.

He does not have the face for it, but I could see him as a Predator.

lol - I was hoping you would pull that post from the other day

Or maybe the Leafs should sign Nylander and trade Matthews for a bunch of goodies.

I see that shots have been fired and Mike Smith couldn't save those either.

Why the hell is Mike Smith starting tonight instead of Rittich?

Bill Peters is insane (he keep doing the same thing and expects a different result)

[tducey]

If I'm the Flames I'd roll with Rittich full-time. He's been playing better thus far than Mike Smith.

How did the maximum amount become such an odd number?

How did the maximum amount become such an odd number?

I pulled the following:

Players can be fined up to 50% of one day's salary, up to a maximum of $10,000.00 for their first offense, and $15,000.00 for any subsequent offenses.

If Morrizsey is making a little under 17 grand a day, 50% of that would be the number calculated above. However, are they not counting his cross-check on Staal in last year's playoffs?!?

If not for Dominigue it could easily be 4-0 Penguins right now.

 

[thedddd]

But sadly instead of 4-0 it is 2-1 Pens after one with the 3 minors in the row it might be tied up soon.

Brayden Point with the natural HT off those 3 minor penalties.

He's a heck of a player (Calgary born and raised).
