Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Damn it, I like Okposo - I hope he can recover quickly from this latest concussion.

So, like, why drop the gloves and put yourself in a fighting position anyway? It is easy as hell to avoid throwing down in today's NHL.

It's kind of hard to have sympathy with someone that dumb. It's like Dan Carcillo and his new career as an anti-violent hockey man despite his career of violent hockey.

I've always liked Okposo. I wish him all the best in his recovery.

He checked somebody (IMO clean) and got immediately challenged. It all happened so quickly there really wasn't an opportunity for somebody else to step in.

Does the NHL keep official gate attendance figures? Watching tonight's Sabres-Panthers game, looking at all the empty seats, I'm guessing there might be less than 5000 people there.

Some of those are probably CGI. I think I saw Livia Soprano in the crowd.

Turtle. Your hockey life depends on it, why risk it at all?

Mojo is hot of late. I'd definitely give up a first rounder for him if I was a contender...

It's like the league sent out a memo to give Don Cherry a bunch of material for this weeks show.

I think it's District 5--pre-Gordon Bombay playing their home games at the Xcel Energy Center right now.

Radko Gudas To Have Hearing With Department Of Player Safety
So Gudas made contact with Kucherov with this swinging motion to the head.
Kucherov is not hurt but is a superstar and Gudas is a goon vs Malkin a superstar and Raffl is not Kucherov.

Malkin got one game so I am fully expecting Gudas to get around 4- 5 games.

As much as NHL network is fawning all over everything Kucherov does, they may summarily execute Gudas.

I know it's been posted before, but it's still relevant...

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

How about as punishment Gudas is summarily sent to the Leafs for Zaitsev?

Paltry fine

I'd like Edmonton to claim him and DSP tell the Oilers that he was unwilling to report to that dumpster fire.
