NHL Around the NHL - Regular Season 2017-18 III - Rangers fire Alain Vigneault

[GloryDaze4877]

He's very similar to Lucic in when he wants to, there are very few other NHLers who can stop him. The problem is as he ages, that time is becoming less and less frequent. Much more talented than Lucic though so he can still get by on that.

I had never really thought of a Lucic-Benn comparison. Not sure I see it, but anyway, here’s Trouba trying to hit Benn last night. Guy is a tank:

I know there are people that think the NHL referees have some sort of vendetta against the Bruins. Unfortunately, the more games I watch, the more apparent it becomes that the officials don’t have a grudge, they are just incompetent.

Watched the Caps v Flyers game yesterday and the officiating was awful, particularly in the first period. Tons of stuff let go, then ticky-tac stuff called. Couturier had a chance in close that Grubbauer stopped. Orlov came in and hit him high/late after the whistle for no reason (Couturier wasn’t hacking or anything). Coots retaliated and then got knocked around by Niskanen.

Should have been a Flyers PP, but somehow no Cap was penalized and Couturier was the only guy in the box. It was absolutely ridiculous, and as bad as anything I have seen in a B’s game.

Yowza! Looks like he skated into a brick wall. Ouch.

Habs lose 2-0 to the Panthers. Thats 12 times this year they've been shutout.

Now they can go on a winning streak to get the worst possible 1st round draft pick

Petrovic should never fight he's awful. I still laugh about how Lucic got so into the Habs heads they drafted that stiff McCarron.

Good stuff. Just wish he would have pulled a Slapshot maneuver after the fight, and climbed into the press box to go after Florida's announcers.

It’s going to suck when the Canadiens “win” the NHL lottery and get Dahlin.

Claude doing his best to deoffenxe Drouin

Claude still only guy to stop Jagr

Funny cause it’s true. And that is a win for the Bruins.

Just like when they chose Urquart in 2003 from the Q, just 5 picks before the Bruins drafted Bergeron.

1993 Forever!

Wow, Flames games I have seen he hasn't looked too bad but you would know better. I have a few buddies that are big flames fans that are always talking up Giordano . He did seem to have a few stellar years there then tail off .

I also watch the Flames on the regular and to say Giordano has been just okay is just flat out wrong. He's been their best defenseman by a fair margin and carries that pair, not the other way around. Hamilton has been a tire fire at times and especially lately, can score goals but costly brain farts at the worst times. Dougie can't handle any sort of pressure he just mentally crumbles.

Sounds exactly what he was like here when he had Chara as a partner.

I don't think other fan bases understand how deep this team is lol. I kept telling no B's fans before the season started that this team would surprise some people. Scary enough though they've surprised me too, I didn't think they'd be this good.
