Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

"I am Bob McKenzie from TSN & NBC, here to take your questions about #Tradecentre and more, Ask Me (almost) Anything." : hockey

Bob MacKenzie did a reddit AMA, cool stuff.

Best reply.

"I was, like everyone, surprised by Clarkson trade...Don't know where Leafs will be in 3 to 5 years but they'll be a lot better than they are now, that's when the stockpiling of picks and prospects will start bearing fruit...NHL won't do Capgeek style website, they have it internally but aren't sharing financial data. Too bad. Most importantly, thoughts are with Matthew Wuest, Capgeek founder, who shut down the site due to health issues...hope he's doing well. We all think of him often...as for the old pic, Sault Ste. marie men's league, team was sponsored by Ogidaki Mountain, a SSM clothing store. I got a six-game suspension for pulling hair in that league, but there's not a lot left to do when there's a bench-clearing brawl and some big bastard was on top of me throwing punches. I got six games but also a large chunk of hair and maybe some of his scalp, too."

Does it make me a bad person if I am really enjoying the fact that Tim Erixon is on waivers?

No, it makes you an astute evaluator of hockey talent.

Talent is important, but you also want a guy who will always be there for his teammates as well.

Meh, Erixon isn't Gaudreau small, I don't expect him to start throwing punches, but at least pick a Flyer and bear hug him.

Exactly. Shit Travis Zajac even got in a fight the other night, the Devils reporters were kidding him about it and he said his fighting has improved, he is much better at holding on for dear life than he used to be. Seriously Erixon was a tool for skating off like that

Wow I can't believe they let that count. Yes it was a goal. Yes the ref blew that whistle so fast my wife would think I last 3 hours. And we would have gotten screwed on that goal but it was blown dead and unless the rule changed that's no goal against the blues. Canucks got a break bun the refs are starrugling tonight

The context of Willie's tweet was that Healy was ripping on the Panthers for making moves to bolster their playoff run this year instead of looking towards the future.
