Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

Penalty fest at Panda the rest of the way

Tough to see Fowler injured on that hit by Gio, he's one of the few Ducks that I like. As for the rest of the shenanigans that followed, it's just a prelude to a likely playoff series between these two teams,

He will get 2 games (next pre-season) and a stern tonguelashing.

He'll probably get the rest of the season, and then the league will pat itself on the back (and the Bruins will bitch) for the harsh consequence of maybe possibly costing the Bruins a home game in the first series of the playoffs.

If the spear wasn't bad enough, Marchand pokes his stick into Dotchin's face when he's lying on the ice.

Just saw that Marchand is getting a hearing.

Can anyone rationally explain why Marchand is getting a hearing when Crosby did not for his work on O'Reilly?

Well, far be it for me defend the piece of shit Crosby. If he had been banned like he should have we'd still have Methot playing. But I'm guessing for the DOPeS it's because Marchand is a repeat, repeat, repeat, rinse, repeat offender.

Still bullshit that Crosby can act like a general asshat and get away with it though.

Yikes.

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang will undergo surgery for a herniated disc in his neck, the team announced today.

The recovery period is expected to be 4-6 months.

And now for some Pittsburgh fan reaction:



/Caps, you'll seriously never get a better chance to do this.

I don't know about that. My middle fingers are both functioning just fine and can pull that off at just about any given time.

Yeah. The Caps have to be pretty heavy favourites in the East now. Pitt is still scary as hell with the emergence of Schultz and the acquisition of Streit though.

True but there's definitely something up with Malkin too.

Yeah. The Caps have to be pretty heavy favourites in the East now.

Which will make it all the more dramatic when Toronto stuns them.

Stupid Pens fans, didn't even realize that isn't Dubinsky. Pft.

Death...taxes....and Letang on LTIR.

It would have been more fitting if she threw up the shocker.

You're bringing Putin in to this? He does like to meddle into affairs in the nation's capital.

Good.

Oh man, sad news - One of my favo(u)rite Flyers, he was silky smooth.
