Dear Sportsnet,
Please refrain from scheduling the Arizona Coyotes on any future Sunday nights. I`d rather have a root canal with no aesthetic than watch a Dave Tippett coached team choke the life out of the most exciting game on earth.

lol - As if on cue, the Coyotes score 2 goals and tie the game.

Where did this Alex Edler for Ryan O Reilly trade rumour get fabricated?

Jack Skellington activated off IR. Could play tonight.

But probably not because everyone seems afraid to hurt Jared Boll's feelings.

Allegedly will be announced today or tomorrow.

Well, glad we're mixing it up. I hope there are a few more stadiums in Boston that can host in the next few years as well.

Close. He got 6 games.

Oh, and this is his 9th suspension.

With ten does he get an eggroll?

Seriously, how does someone even stay in the league past five suspensions?

Not sure how Carcillo has gotten off as easy as he has with that record. Matt Cooke's 9th suspension? 10 games and the first round of the playoffs. They're mollycoddling him, and it's just crazy to me. The guy literally said he thought it was a hockey play. He thought there was nothing wrong with what he did. Sound like someone you should throw the book at?

Not just ninth suspension, but his 11th incident if you include fines.

Yeah, time for him to go away.

Is there a difference between dirty/cheap play and reckless/dangerous play?

I feel like there is...but I can't quite explain it? I suppose reckless/dangerous is a "normal hockey play" gone wrong? Like a hit into the boards with a guy in a vulnerable position. While a dirty play is throwing an elbow, two handed slash to the knee, etc. I guess?

It's easy to explain... "reckless" is when I do it, "dirty" is when it's done to me :wink:
