OFFICIAL HOCKEY THREAD: NHL, KHL, NCAA, IIHL

Tonight was the 2nd time in franchise history the Penguins won giving up 7 goals. The first time was 1988 when they beat Washington 8-7.

Dumpster fire at the Garden tonight. This game sums up the last three years defensively. Have to shake the roster up. Girardi cannot play first line minutes anymore. Buy him out at season's end.
 
Cody Eakin's two career fights are against Jarome Iginla and a guy who has 3-4" and 40 pounds on him :lol:

And Kreider hit him with his own helmet in tonight's fight :rofl:
 
Monday:
- Isles shutout the Bruins 4-0

Tuesday:
- Bruins get the day off. Practice cancelled.
- Isles fire their HC






makes sense :lol:

Rangers have Kreider out there doing dirty work :smh: Pathetic. No knock on Kreider, but that shouldn't be his job. If Alain Vigneault's goal was to have a soft team, mission accomplished.

Dylan Mcilrath was the last enforcer on this team, but AV didn't like him and rarely played him as a result. And yes, this Rangers team is soft. When Henrik was taken out in Dallas NO ONE dropped the gloves or came to his defense. That's representative of the culture Vigneault has brought with him. That wouldn't have flown under Torts.

Yup, you're spot on.

I'm not even a Rangers fan, but it was inexcusable for Eakin to come away unscathed in the game that he ran Lundqvist. I was livid watching it. I don't care how good/bad of a fighter Vesey is (or the others who were on the ice,) someone needed to stick up for the goalie in that moment.

Kreider obviously felt like he had to respond, but it really shouldn't have been him. But there really aren't any other options on the AV roster.
 
Tanner Glass, who's another enforcer, is only in Hartford because the front office stepped in and overrode AV on keeping one of his favorites on the fourth line.
