Ongoing NHL Thread Part V minutes for fighting

[Bloody Brian Burke]

RIP....Way too young!

Kurvers was killer on the PP, can't say much about his defense though. @Bloody Brian Burke just remember the Leafs traded their first round pick for him which in turned to be Scott Niedermayer.

I always heard he was a good player, just not someone you would acquire for the price the Leafs paid for him (kinda like Phil Kessel). Sad that he’s gone. Hope he lived well.

Wild assistant GM Tom Kurvers dies at age 58; won Cup with Canadiens in ’86

Kurvers had a stellar college career at the University of Minnesota Duluth, setting program records for most career goals (43) and points (192) by a defenseman.

58 from lung cancer. Had no idea he was sick. RIP

On the NBC broadcast last night, Eddie O mentioned it with a pretty heartfelt statement wishing him well. He got a tad choked up. It was the first I had heard he was sick, but you could tell it wasn't good the way Eddie was talking.

RIP TK

Fuck cancer.

It takes a certain level of hubris for the Hawks to include the following:

"Based on our investigation, we believe the allegations against the organization lack merit and we are confident the team will be absolved of any wrongdoing.”

Also wild that it seems like this asshole is trying to use "hey, I'm telling you guys that if I'd just quit the coaching job first and he'd been just a little older this would have been totally legal!" as a mitigating factor in the offense against the high schooler

What's the point? Not like they were going to waste a pick on any of these guys since none will probably play again.

There was some question about guys like Gus Nyquist who missed the whole season but will be coming back. But looks like we have to protect him.

I feel like there is someone else notable who missed the entire season.

Tough to put a finger on those players. Maybe a light will go off and in that flash we will remember who with a roaring thunder.

Now if he had been deemed ineligible then the whole process is a complete sham (not that it isn't already).

What exactly did Louie Lams do this season besides trade for a guy that got benched almost immediately?

Zito got robbed.

In a strange turn of events, they threw Zito a curveball.

French Connection was so very fun to watch

One of my favourite memories of childhood was when the Sabres were at the Forum in Montreal and Danny Gallivan saying Gilbert Perreault was dipsey-doodling over the blue line. RIchard Martin and Rene Robert along with Gilbert were very entertaining.

My NHL viewing began in 75. I had no idea until tonight that in 72 the Penguins traded Rene Robert to Buffalo for Eddie Shack

Man, I had forgotten all about that. Canucks fans don't need me to remind them that they lost Gilbert Perreault to the Sabres on a spin of the wheel. The consolation prize was Dale Tallon.
