Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

Doug MacLean was waxing poetic the other day about former Blue Jacket Kris Russell...

What did he say? "That guy is a hockey player. I know this one. Hockey is a game with sticks. I know that too. I AM NOT AN IDIOT!"

Joey's not going back to Vancouver. He found a summer job with a local company that produces commercials.

For the record, I believe that cue card replaced Foligno's lines with a paragraph about how awesome Johansen is.

thats true ... his freshly completed palace in Anmore outside of Vancouver is where he will live

By the way, Kris Russell needs two more blocked shots to set the new record for blocked shots in a season. Not a bad pickup for a 5th round pick.

NHL Player Safety @NHLPlayerSafety
Winnipeg's Dustin Byfuglien will have a hearing tomorrow for cross-checking NY Rangers forward J.T. Miller.

Renaud Lavoie @renlavoietva
Phone hearing for #jets Dustin Byfuglien. #nhl #tvasports

Phone hearing means max 5 games, I believe.

Great read on how the loser point influences the way teams play. Not that we didn't know it was happening, but there's some empirical evidence in the article supporting it.

Dutter grabbed Voynov by the ankle and twirled him over his head.

I was just watching TSN and Darren Dreger said that Gaustad ran into Burrows last night and that's the reason Burrows wasn't suspended. Words fail me to describe how clueless Dreger is.

HE WAS LOOKING THE OTHER WAY. Good lord. I suppose the NHL made it's bed with these non-suspension calls this year, but you can just watch Burrow's path and tell what his intent was.

You can tell what his intent was ????
What hot fuckin garbage

He intended to head shot him in a 4 - 4 game late in the 3rd when they're in a dogfight for a playoff spot.????? Riiiiiiiight mmmmkay

I think youre letting your perception bias get in the way

Fact is head didnt turn out to be principal point of contact and gaustad turned his head into burrows
