What it's all about at the end of the day

 

 

[DeadsetAce]

that's awesome

 

[sosly]

OOOH Feaster is finally done. I'm guessing Burke is taking the GM spot for now? Can't believe they sent Sven down though

Also Getzlaf needs that male weave they're talking about in General

 

[Bad Religion]

Damn. I was hoping Feaster would stay in Calgary for a few more years.

Loved what he was doing.

Rangers are frustrating to watch.

Rangers are frustrating to watch.

As are the Stars

At one point late in the game against the Blackhawks the other night (not 100% sure if it ended this way), the Blackhawks had blocked more shots than Raanta had saved. Didn't really track it tonight, but it seemed like the Predators blocked a ton of shots too.

About to board my flight to Van for the Bruins game this weekend. Already getting some dirty looks with my Bruins shirt

No worries. I love Vancouver, but 90% of the populace is soft hippy/hipster, brewery loving, coffee swillers.

Now Surrey on the other hand, avoid like the plague.

$197 for a blank

$237 for a player

The NHL Store won't even get these so I can't use my discount

 

[tmay407]

What's good with that friends and family discount though?

 

[rell826]

Stamkos is already skating and handling the stick. That was fast.

Report: NHL suspends Thornton 15 games for Orpik attack


Neal's suspension is an absolute joke compared to this.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Chances Ovi goes for 50 goals in 50 games?

Lets say he finishes with 70, where does that rank in greatest scoring seasons of all time?

 

[champcruthik]

Good to see Stammer skating and back on the ice.

Neal got off easy with 5, no?

Not arguing Thornton's 15. I'll let DSA handle that one when he's done raging in Vancouver.

He's scored 49 in his last 52...

That pace

What I'm worried about is a post-olympic hangover. Happened to him in Vancouver and it took 2 1/2 years for him to get his game back on track. I think he'll score over 50 this year (assuming he plays 75+ games), but I just don't know about his pace after the Sochi break. Could have a lot of momentum, depending on what Russia does...or he could revert back to what he was when he was struggling.

*Neal got off way light for what he did. On top of it all, he's a repeat offender. That was about as blatant/dirty of a play as I've seen. Should have been 10 games minimum, IMO.

There were a lot of unhappy people at the offices when it leaked.

 

[Bad Religion]

Oh, we have Boston back in Vancity for the first time since the day that shall not be named, on the 2nd night of a back to back, with Eddie in net.

This should end well.

B's are decimated with injuries/illness at the moment. Should be a good one nonetheless.

 

[jewseejay]

Goal scorers dont get penalized the same. Neal hadda phone hearing. Precedent is set. 5 games is max ur gettin if u dont hafta go sit down at the leagur offices.

I think both suspensions are fair and send the right message

Ovie could def go bossy n get 50 n 50. I could see it this season. Still dont think he hits 70 tho

 

[Bad Religion]

I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good.

Merchants pelican nose is covered in tears.

 

[sosly]

wow at Lucic. Took dem bombs like a champ

Man, I don't buy it. His suspension was a crock of ****. This isn't Neal's first rodeo. As you know:



And he was only suspended for game 4.

That knee he put on Marchand's head was probably the dirtiest thing I've seen in the NHL in a long time. He deserved a minimum of 10 games. He's a piece of ****.

Shanahan needs to get his head out of his ***.

 

[rell826]

Peluso suspended three games.
