True, it's time to wipe the slate clean.

Come to us dash... We have great experience in these matters

I really don't know why Treliving didn't re-sign Tobias Rieder, he had a pretty good year with the Flames last season and is a great PKer (something that the Flames have really struggled at this season). Also, I know the doctor repaired Leivo's knee, but did he take away his hands during the procedure? Geez, that guy stinks this season.

Harsh. Can't score against the Jackets and Filppula gets thrown on the compost heap.

He really stinks most years but he had a few minor stretches with Crosby. He is only valuable with a top 6 center but doesn't score enough but helped on the backcheck.
Rieder made much more sense unless they were thinking Simon could have been a useful top 6 plugin when needed?

At least it was a minimal cost to the cap.

I wonder if Treliving just thought (hey, he played with Crosby, so I can get a top six forward on the cheap) and it was a done deal. I'd rather have kept Rieder.

Honestly I think even the Pens were hoping he would have been the next Dupuis but that was never going to happen. Simon was just not good.
Really AHL Filler at best. He should only be used in short spurts in the NHL. With that you have to give him credit to play almost 200 NHL games.

Actually, being married for more than a couple of years is pretty much the same as purchasing a Sabres bed set

Sooo true

 

[Slimpikins]

If it’s any consolation, being single means you mostly just don’t get laid by multiple women

Just imagine being married with the Sabre bed set. Man you are worse off than Jeff Skinner.

I bet the bed set was a wedding gift.

The hit:

Nobody hits marketable star - gets 5 and a game. Marketable star is hurt, Nobody's team suffered a similar hit to one of their stars that was not punished at all last year. They are gonna line up the firing squad on this one.


5 and a game should be enough, IMO. Ugly, unnecessary hit but not worth more than has already been punished.

Blitchfeld hit him in the chest and the Labron wannabe took a dive.

So did Cogliano get a call from the League offices as well and I just missed it? Because his hit Tuesday on Point was certainly worse than that. Of course I do realize Brayden Point isn’t the star MacKinnon is, so maybe I’m sorta answering my own question.
