Stamkos just broke something in his leg

Caught the gif in the thread on the mains. Cringed big time here at work. Looks really bad.

Based on the tweet they have in the story about his right leg being elevated while trying to immobilize, maybe a compound fracture? Too bad. Stamkos is a top 3 player in the league. Feel bad for the kid, but as long as he heals properly he'll still have a long career ahead of him. If you really want to be sickened by HF, go to the thread on the main boards. Starting to devolve into a finger pointing match, trying to assess blame. Worry about the player, not whose at fault or Canada's olympic chances. Show some compassion.

He tried to get up and walk on it, which could have ultimately made it worse. The way it bends around the post pretty much confirms its broken. Nobody is at fault, it's just an unfortunate hockey play. Too bad. He's one of the true stars of the game.

That's a lot of PIMs for a slap fight with cages on.

Probably the tamest "brawl" I've ever seen.

But it was cool seeing the Buckeyes one by one fly into the scrum to even up the odds..... lol Some tough girls there...

Stamkos just broke something in his leg

Yeah ... his leg

Seriously though, that was gruesome ... hope for a speedy recovery for Stammer, seems like a classy guy. Amazed that he even tried to stand up afterwards ... I've only seen that one other time, from a guy who is arguably the toughest hockey player I've ever seen.

Would love to see home many PIM it would have gotten if it was a real fight. Thats nothing more than a couple of roughing minors in the NHL.

As was pointed out in one of the comments, it would have resulted in the same punishment had it happened in a men's game. College hockey permits no fighting, how violent it is has no bearing on the penalties.

Bemidji State's women's hockey team is already tougher than half of the Big Ten is in football.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Bemidji

Isn't that that little dog from the 70s?

I posted it, so that evidences some level of interest on my part.

You have no interest?

File under: Cares?, Who.

Maybe its the poor quality of the video or some guys head in the way but I must have missed punches being thrown and gloves dropped. Maybe a large portion of the minutes came from the fact that everyone was on the ice and got called for being extra people involved. It certainly didn't look like anything that deserved that many minutes.

The real question is how did either team play their next game with the automatic 1 game suspension that accompanies the penalties.

*correction, I see a few punches but a lot of hugging. I'm still not sure I see 9 full blown fights on the ice to warrant the ejections from each team but whatever. to paraphrase the words of Ron Burgundy, things escalated quickly. The refs probably did it for the most part to make sure things didn't continue the next day.

Because the game disqualifications carry a one-game suspension, each team was able to dress only six forwards and four defensemen for Saturday’s rematch, which went into overtime and ended in a shootout. Bemidji State won the shootout 1-0 after taking a 2-2 tie into the extra period.

Wait.... are my eyes telling me the truth... the Dcuks have 68 goals after 20 games???

Are you serious??? They don't even have C/M or O... JHC, I must be dreaming..

John Shannon of Sportsnet on twitter is saying it sounds like they are creating a POHOP position in the organization.

And potentially Regier and Rolston both out.

 

[Samkow]

There's a reason Nolan never really stuck with any NHL team after he left Buffalo.

Oh well, good for Buffalo. I know if Dineen was named PHOP and King was named HC that it'd make a lot of Jackets fans happy, and that's sorta the equivalent of what's happening.

 

[Fro]

yup

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 35s
Confirming Rolston and Regier let go in Buffalo. They were informed last night according to source


hahaha break out the country club tshirts in buffalo

Josh Rimer@JoshRimerHockey 2 mins
I've been told the reason for bringing back Ted Nolan is to win back the fans. That and he's also good buddies with Lafontaine.
