Around the League Part 8: Welcome to the league Vegas, and Duchene discussion

[Hulkacaniac]

Hard to say it is a team issue as well.

5v5 scoring for Defensemen who have played > 400 minutes in the entire league:

Hanifin: #1 (1.54 P/60)
Faulk: #115 - dead last (0.11 P/60)

Strictly defensive D like Brodin (0.34 P/60), Alzner (0.35 P/60), Larsson (0.38 P/60), and Orpik (0.42 P/60) are putting up points at 3-4 times the rate of Faulk.

Take the damn C away at least. His play warrants an AHL demotion, not a ****ing spot in the Shootout. Bleh.

I guess Peters was trying to "get him going" but that's what you do if Aho is snake bitten for 10 games not when your captain is playing like he doesn't give a shit. Do like you preached your first season, make him accountable and bring down the ice time hammer.

Ice Time Hammer sounds like a retro rapper.

Forgive this if someone already posted, but some of the Whalers fans among us might be interested to know that Zarley Zalapski died yesterday.

I saw this but had no idea he was a Whaler. RIP

Made possible by Ron Francis, no less.

Wow, what was the cause?

No cause has been given yet afaik.

I read somewhere that it was a hearth condition, not official though

Always a concern around the Holidays.

Yeah, somewhere buried in a thread I read speculation that it was related to a recent viral infection. Didn't mention a source for that info, so take it for what it's worth.

"Ice-hockey midget South Korea shocked Canada in opening period"

I read wrong first. Goddamn I would have wanted an ice-hockey midget from South Korea to shock Canada!

Senators might be sold soon

Senators might be sold soon

If they move them to some place dumb like, say, New Orleans, it would Make BOH Great Again.

Also, there sure are a lot of empty seats in Detroit for this Bruins/Red Wings game. I guess by BOHs logic, the Red Wings are going to move to Regina any day now. Just need to see if there are any flights between Detroit and Regina.

O6 team, they're just speaking with their wallets. Smart fans

Myrtle Beach

I feel like there might be traffic issues getting to the arena during bike week, especially when you consider that every week is bike week

Noticed the same thing during their Blues game a last weekend. Was actually surprised by the amount of empties.

I don`t think they will move but BOH will be Great Again for sure!

I would have thought they would be selling out every game in the new arena. Guess not.

New Orleans would be a fun road trip for all of us. Maybe we should lobby to the NBA to move the Pelicans to Albuquerque and suggest to the NHL that New Orleans gets NHL team 32 to take the NBAs place.

I think you mean "some awesome place like New Orleans," HTH

Mrs. Hank and I go every Xmas. We land on Tuesday.
