Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

[puckhead]

Linden Vey is on team tank.

hmmm, seems like slick Wille D is on board as well

I’m just going to leave this right here:
A/ Linden Vey led all forwards in ice time
B/ Daniel Sedin and Jannik Hansen didn’t get a face-off in offensive zone in the game at evens.
C/ Hansen scored three goals, and wasn’t on the power play for a second.
D/ Ryan Miller was pulled on a late power play but wasn’t pulled until there was 22 seconds left, and the Canucks had PP2 on the ice at that time
E/ The extra attacker was Matt Bartkowski.

I like that Jersey kid, DW.

I like the one we got too, Palmeri got his 20th last night

Cox has "apologized" for his earlier tweet (wonder if his bosses made him do it):

Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin6h6 hours ago My recent use of "suicidal" in a tweet has offended some, including @bigern10 . To him and others insulted/offended, I apologize. 1/3


Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin6h6 hours ago
My intent was to draw attention to the serious long-term consequences of fighting in hockey, CTE and brain injuries. 2/3


Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin6h6 hours ago
I have supported and will continue to support mental health initiatives such as #BellLetsTalk My message got mixed up in my words. 3/3


Damien Cox ‏@DamoSpin6h6 hours ago
Finally, I wish @bigern10 a swift recovery from his injuries and best of luck as he continues to pursue his career.

At least it wasn't a nutcracker this time...

He then proceeded to complain because refs pick on him...

meh. That's just Milan Douchic personified.

hey, just because he sucker punches a guy in the earhole doesn't mean the refs should be singling him out. knuckle-dragging Neanderthals have feelings too you know

He called the ref out by name, so fines definitely happening.

 

[tducey]

Those comments by Cox prove how big an idiot he really is. I usually don't nitpick what the Sportsnet guys say but Cox is out to lunch here.

LA King player, so not so much.



goof gets 1 game, case closed.

 

[puckhead]

Pressure's on, Bobby Ryan!








and he gets it done in the with 20 seconds left in the 2nd period

@renlavoietva reporting NHL escrow will be increased to 18% from 16%. Bad, but not as bad as some agents feared. Blame the CDN dollar.

 

[tducey]

The Canadian dollar is certainly going to be an issue again now, got to wonder how it would impact expansion to Quebec City.

I don't think there's any way to justify it from a business perspective right now. Having an arena is helpful, but it's already a small market. Only smaller in the league for metro population look to be Winnipeg and Nashville.

Barkov inks an extension and this should be a nice benchmark for Sean Monahan:

George Richards @GeorgeRichards
.@Barkovsasha95 #FlaPanthers sign C Sasha Barkov 6 years/$5.9 per; buys 2 UFA years for the 20-year-old. Presser tomorrow before #Leafs game

Craig Hartsburg put Atkinson out on the ice with a minute left in order to try and get him the hat trick. He did.

I can only imagine that Torts would have had Campbell out there instead to block shots.

Atkinson's making some good progress despite all the BS. I wonder how many stay-at-home d-men it'll take to get him to the Leafs.

Nice contract. Florida has themselves in a really, really good place cap-wise. Wonder if Tallon gets busy next month and goes after some of the bigger names.

Broons have had interest in the little firecracker for a couple years.

So, naturally, the Jackets didn't even try to use him to lure Hamilton.


What I like about Atkinson is he can play with anyone. He adapts so well. It would be retarded to trade a guy like that. So, ummm, goodbye Cam.

That R word isn't very nice, 43.
