Congrats to Steven Stamkos on 1,000 points.

Glad he didn't get it against the Bruins.

The Bruins celebrated better though

Not looking good when you’re a 23 year old forward coming off an 18 goal season and no one will sign you.

The rumors must be true of him then.

If so. He can rot.

Speaking of legit, Jason Robertson is as well. 22 goals/39 points in 24 games already

Bruins hockey players refuse a round of drinks from Ryan Reynolds

Would you be crazy enough to turn down Ryan Reynolds if he offered to buy you a drink? Well, the Boston Bruins would. And they have. According to the Boston Herald, Reynolds, a vocal Canuck hockey fan, was dining at The … <a...

That's a bad ass move. Probably all in good fun (Reynold's seems like a good guy) but mega movie star buys you a round of drinks and 22 or so of you say "yeah, no thanks.... we're gonna just pass those over to the girls celebrating a bachelorette party."

Very few people on the planet wouldn't swoon like shit and say "ooooh.... Ryan Reynolds just bought us drinks!!!!". Bruins: "yeah, whatever".

If the rumors are true about him personally, I agree completely.

If the rumors are true about him personally and he is getting frozen out because he reportedly can "prove" things about high profile NHL'ers then he, Gary Bettman, and the entire NHL boys club can go f*** themselves.

I hope that's not the case. However, my trust of the NHL doing the right thing on these sorts of things hinges on what they legally can get away with -- not any sort of ethics or impetus to do the right thing. That ship sailed for me a long time ago.

From what I remember via word of mouth restaurant folk - it was more of a peace offering to try and diffuse the situation.

Maybe he can reflect on the behaviors that kept him from being signed.

This is 512 penalties too many. There is no room in hockey for this.

The U15 number is just staggering.

Of the 512 penalties for verbal discrimination, which contravenes Hockey Canada’s Rule 11.4, 152 were called in the Ontario Hockey Federation, followed by 81 by Hockey Alberta game officials and 71 in Hockey Eastern Ontario.

U18 leagues were responsible for 55 per cent of the discrimination penalties, followed by U15 leagues with 27 per cent.

Hockey Canada said 61 per cent of discrimination penalties were for offenses related to sexual orientation or gender identity and 18 per cent were related to race. Ninety-nine per cent of discrimination penalties were assessed to male players.

Hockey Canada said there were also 415 allegations of discrimination in which referees or other officials did not hear or witness the alleged offenses. Of those allegations, 37 per cent were considered unsubstantiated, 18 per cent led to suspensions, and 17 per cent resulted in written warnings.

I havent followed it too close but just once it'd be good to see someone step up take responsibility and try to get right with the world. Own up, do the work and set an example.

Exactly but if none of them have by now then I doubt they will at all.

The good news is that no one signed the kid which is a step in the right direction and hopefully the Bruins situation prevented another team from screwing up.

Sens & Rangers are tied at 1, 7 left in the second.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Heck of a scrap between captains Trouba and Tkachuk.

 

[danpantz]

Tkachuk ties it up again late in the third.

Fun game between 2 bad teams.

Kaprisov had a goal scorer with him he would have 5 or 6 pts today easy

 

[22Brad Park]

Refs in Ducks game making up rules. Gibson picked puck up in OT by crease & threw it out for odd man break and a whistle for penalty. Ducks coach pissed as he should be.

Binnington tries to hit Staal and gets the worst of it
