[Filip Chytil]

Brodzinski hat trick. Rangers win 3-0.

Brodzinski hat trick. Rangers win 3-0.

If a Gordie Howe hat trick is a goal, an assist, and a fight...

Then what is a "Brodzinski hat trick?"

A shot wide, a logo snipe, and a giveaway?

 

[Machinehead]

I have no idea what this Kucherov stuff is cause I don't watch the all-star game.

Cuylle makes a nice play, Kakko f***s it up, and Brodzinski is there.

You do that three times.

He participated in the skills contests seemingly inebriated.

When is he not inebriated?

The dude was six sheets to the wind like 15 minutes after a SCF game.

He's made a mockery of the game. Twice.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Kucherov is a monster. we would all love to have him on our RW and yes any player would be available for him but Fox. so he's drunk half the time he's also an MVP candidate and depending on who you ask, the frontrunner.

This is 2024, allegedly seemingly inebriated

It used to be that hitting was allowed from 12 years old or even earlier. Those days are long gone.

You say this like it's a bad or questionable thing, which it isn't. If high-drafted 18-year-olds who are tracking to become multimillionaires by their mid-20s don't know how to take a hit coming into the NHL, so be it. Obviously youth hockey programs need to prioritize protecting the long-term wellbeing of these 12- to 14-year-olds rather than preparing the 0.001% of them for an NHL future lining up against guys who might want to mash their brains into their skulls

Sorry you took it that way... but I wasn't stating an opinion. Just stating facts.

I completely understand and agree with why they keep raising the age of hitting in youth hockey.

That said, the side effect is young NHL players getting blown up by turning away from contact along the boards, or simply not keeping their heads up when carrying the puck.

My guess is that hitting goes away in the NHL at some point. The youth programs are no longer preparing these players for that type of game, and major NHL injuries aren't uncommon because of it.

If Kucherov doesn’t have his head put on a pike tonight, the rangers are just as culpable as he is for making a mockery of the game.

We should just setup a keg by his locker in the visitor room.

This is not helping.

 

[Hire Sather]

Quick tonight?

 

[KennyWu]

Hey, you guys remember, back in the day, when our power play was lethal?

Those were good times....

The Rangers have had 1 power play since 1/27 and it was cut short by a bad call. NHL is against us folks

 

[Cmox]

Quick tonight?

Seems so

Outside of hockey, a Brodzinski hat trick is driving a Nissan Miata, ordering a McDonald's Whopper and accidentally t-boning the Liberty Butumal actor on a car insurance policy by The General.

Refreshing to see an old vet being terminated mid season because he's fallen out of the lineup. Years past, we'd never do this to a vet. Chris "little finger" Drury at it again.

 

[EdJovanovski]

So hyped for this one, this is like when we first played Washington after the Tom Wilson incident. Wonder if it'll have as much chaos, Kucherov better keep his head on a swivel

Tonight's refs are Steve Kozari and Trevor Hanson. Working the lines are Ryan Galloway and Dan Kelly.

To put it simply, he dogged it during the skills competition. A video of it went viral == saw it in one of our local papers.

That was his excuse?

Nice, they knew they'd need a couple blue collar BC boys to handle the rough stuff that's going to transpire when Kucherov answers for what he did
