sutter just got hamhuised ... bleeding from the mouth bigtime

HAMHUISED!

THIS is what led to him being a toddler and doing a throat slash? A perfectly fine hit? I think he should be reprimanded, I think that the precedent is set in terms of that. But I agree with others that the fact that you can cold clock a guy is deemed fine, but this isn't.

Congrats to pix on crossing the 25,000 post threshold.

No, see above.

do canucks claim Ehrhoff ?

I think they might, but I also think the Oilers will put in a claim and they have first dibs.

 

[pixburgher66]

He won't make it anywhere near the Penguins, but damn. He's on a team friendly contract too.

So bizarre to me that they decided Schenn was more valuable.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Kadri went with the Wideman defense icymi

 

[pixburgher66]

No, see above.

Ah...another clean hit.

Kadri also didn't think the first hit by Gio was clean (felt Gio targeted his melon). Yeah, I think Kadri was a bit dazed prior to any contact.

and this is strategic too .. .they want someone to claim him ... there was no effort to find the right time to sneak him through ... its announced edler is out for 3 weeks and then the kings put ehrhoff on waivers (not that the canucks claim him)

I think the Flames should claim Ehrhoff and trade Wideman at the deadline once either Bettman or the independent arbitrator reduces his suspension.

What I really don't get is how they didn't trade him. One year, $1.5M deal? For a guy with those kind of numbers? I get that he's not exactly LA King material, but you can't tell me there are teams lined up to give up a draft pick or mid level prospect for him. Honestly, for a contending team who is cap strapped, this is a genius pick up. The guy may be a third pair sort now, but $1.5M...those guys are gold at the deadline.

No, it was a prior hit (in the first period).

Edit: This hit

Ahhhh, thanks.

Honestly, dumb kid should keep his head up.

Not sure if it was on here, or in Friedman's stuff, but did you see rumor that the Flames were near a trade when the suspension came down?

I did see that, but didn't Friedman debunk that (i.e. the Flames weren't close to trading Wideman)

I think he pretty much brushed it off, yeah. At the least said that he hadn't heard any rumblings.

Id be ok with the canucks claiming him and then trading him at the deadline lol

Makes no bloody sense to me.
