Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

[elocomotive]

Johnny Hockey first star of the week (pre-cursor to player of the month for December?)

Gaudreau, Bozak among NHL three stars

Speaking of the Flames, I hadn't seen those jerseys yet, Dash. They look sharp - I like the striping and the black shoulder strip/patches. (Looking a little deeper, the mountains on the inside of the collar are a nice touch.)

When they first came out, I wasn't a fan eloco, but they are starting to grow on me.

/The team has a pretty good record when they wear them this season as well.

Elbow to the head ... Mcnabb raises elbow to do this ... No penalty

This Kings/Canucks game is brought to you by the 1980's Norris Division

Needs to be suspended

Needs to be suspended

Yup. That deserves a couple games or more.

Holy Holtby!!

Holy Holtby!!

That man is NO sieve.

Sam Gagner and Scott Gomez on waivers this morning.

I want the Oilers to claim Gagner for the comedic value alone:

Hard to believe Gagner is making 5 shmill this season (cap hit is 3.2 million).

Nah, they'll wait until they can trade for him. Why get him for nothing, when you can give up assets for his services.

Somebody on the Canucks pulled that exact same move last night against Doughty - Doughty looked at the guy and just chuckled.

With that being said, Edmonton would wait until he isn't on waivers and then trade a draft pick for him

I guess it's a case of great minds thinking alike (Esls and higgy).

 

[Comeds]

Another lackadaisical effort by the Habs tonight.

Tick, tock.

End of Ducks/Flames game

Punk move by Kesler but a dick move by Wideman

End of Ducks/Flames game

Punk move by Kesler but a dick move by Wideman

I didn't see it - What happened?

 

[esls79]

Kesler shot into the empty net a second after the final horn and I think Giordano or Brodie shoved and then Ferland wanted to get at him but the linesman prevented it. But Wideman came from across the ice and just started throwing punches at Kesler. Then Getzlaf went after Wideman,

That's probably the best thing Wideman has done all season, then.

/Not that I'm condoning it, mind you.
