Knew I was missing one. Just as the Flyers are getting into a groove, too - won 4 of 5 since that murdering at the hands of Jagr and his lil tykes, the only loss being 2-1 against Fuck Dallas.

This I was not aware of. He had 5 pts in 7 games...

Strome 'pissed off' at being healthy-scratched - Sportsnet.ca

I hate Capuano. Always have and always will. He played Brian Strait over Zidlicky that game too. Snapping a 142 consecutive games streak for Zidlicky. Brian Goddam Strait. Horrible.

Strome is one of the more consistent forwards on the team and plays a pretty good two way game. I feel like whatever the hell is was that got him benched could have been worked out in practice.

I don't think anyone plays Steve Bernier over Ryan Strome. Ridiculous.

Truculence? ^^^

Truculence? ^^^

I believe the Jackets have the market cornered on Truculence. In fact we may have only one or two players left to trade for more.

 

[Puck082]

Hickey place on IR too. Out 4 weeks with lower body injury.....

A penny farthing to he who can name the player this stat line belongs to.

9 PIMs in 5 games. He might have truculence AND belligerence.

Ya know, maybe Calgary and Columbus can cook up a trade amongst two struggling teams. I've heard their president likes those characteristics...

If the Flames were to lose a couple more I wouldn't put it past Burke to start meddling and do something just like that. I don't see Treliving being that dumb but with Burke here you never can tell.

He's been muzzled for far too long. It'll happen eventually.

...

Sorry Dash.

I'm hoping Ortio can pull a Kipper and be the goalie change that can turn a season around. The "I-told-ya-sos" from the advanced stats dudes are getting annoying.

‘I asked for trade every off-season in Winnipeg': Evander Kane | The Hockey News

Some other things that are in the actual magazine article:

Playing the Race Card

“There are a lot of guys I could point to that everybody knows publicly who have done a lot worse or been accused of doing a lot worse things than I have,” Kane told The Hockey News. “But they don’t look like me. They don’t look like me.”

Blaming the Jets for a Lack of Support

“I just didn’t feel as though (the Jets) had my back at all. It would have been so simple to just squash it and put it to bed. It just became kind of a big deal,” he told The Hockey News.

Still Being Upset About Locker Room Antics

“I’m sacrificing my body playing through the pain, doing everything I can to help that team with the feeling knowing guys don’t have my back,” Kane was quoted.

Oh, you mean guys on a team that you asked to be traded from every season you played for them didn't have your back? Yeah, must've been the racism.

In case anyone would like a refresher on just how much of a turd Kane's been over the past 5 years:
