Jared Boll has been replaced on my most hated Jacket list by Curtis McIlhenny.

What a total fucking waste.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here

I'm thinking you added that appendage on purpose...

Anybody got Brodeur's number?


At this point, I would settle for Cujo's.

I know pretty much every guy to ever play in the NHL has fought at some point in their hockey career...but McDavid, come on.

I'm on the "fighting is useless" bandwagon these days, but you can't hold it against the kid for getting in a scrap. You can hold it against him for not being a good scrapper, but...

Hopefully it's just a small fracture at worst. I'm really looking forward to seeing him with Canada at the WJC's next month and it would be a shame if he were to get replaced by Frederik Gauthier or some crap

Clarke MacArthur may want to get those ankles MRI’d after Henrik did this to him

Even Tyler Ennis (well kinda - he did get 5)

MacArthur left more than his cake out in the rain on the deke from Henrik - Sens were lookig for an interference call at the other end of the ice (the bug-eyed walrus was not happy).

idk ... Turris seems to initiate contact ... if Turris keeps moving his feet and doesnt put up his hand as hes going down, he might get the call

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I am ordering my Gonchar jersey now!

I wonder if he is even going to play.....I'd list him as 7th on their depth chart only slightly better than Tinordi, though Tinordi should be playing to learn.

Called up yesterday, sent down today. Oh well, better to play there then to sit in the NHL.

That was pretty obvious interference, IMO. However, the refs had put the whistles away pretty much after the Sens had back-to-back penalties early in the second. What was a penalty in the first/second wasn't in the 3rd or OT. It's fucking lame, 1997, Derian Hatcher would thrive, bullshit but it was really obvious in the closing minutes of regulation and into OT so there's no use bitching about it.

Top prospect McDavid seeing specialist for hand injury - Article - TSN

Junior hockey phenom Connor McDavid was scheduled to see a specialist Wednesday as the Erie Otters hope to get more information about the hand injury that has left him out of the lineup indefinitely.

The 17-year-old forward, who is expected to be the top pick in June's NHL draft, was injured Tuesday night after hitting his right hand on the top of the boards during a fight with Mississauga's Bryson Cianfrone.

McDavid reportedly fractured a small bone in his hand. An Otters spokesman said he hoped to have an update on McDavid's condition later in the day.

In an interview on TSN 1050 in Toronto, Otters owner and general manager Sherry Bassin said X-rays taken after the game were not definitive enough.

Bassin said the specialist would be looking at a "tiny" bone in McDavid's hand but voiced some optimism.

"We're hoping it won't be too long," Bassin said.

Depending on the severity of the injury, McDavid's availability for the upcoming world junior championship could be in doubt. Canada's world junior camp takes place Dec. 11-15 in Toronto, and the team plays its first game Dec. 26 in Montreal against Slovakia.

McDavid leads the Ontario Hockey League with 16 goals and 35 assists in just 18 games this season. The Otters lead the Western Conference with a 16-1-0-1 record.

My dentist said 'okay, you're going to feel a little prick in your mouth."
I said "I sure as hell better not!"

No. On Matthias!!! LLLOOOLLLL. Turris is trying to get to the net and Matthias impedes his progress.

Like I said, I wouldn't expect it to be called the way the game had gone (been managed) but earlier in the game that's likely a penalty on Matthias.
