Around the League - Pre-season 2015 Edition

[stampedingviking]

No supplemental for either of them.

How do LA keep getting away with it?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Usual BS

 

[RandV]

He was tossed from the game, what more do you want?

Getting tossed from a lost game with a minute left isn't really a deterrent. I'm not sure if he should be suspended but doesn't this sort of behaviour usually get at least a fine?

Do you have other examples?

I'll agree the Brown headbutt should have gotten something. Aside from taking your skate off and trying to cut someone's throat, that looked like about the best way to murder someone in a hockey game.

But the Lucic penalty was pretty cut and dry and clean for what it was.

 

[MS]

The league is so backwards it's absolutely unbelievable.

Somehow making contact with the opposing player's head with your shoulder when attempting to throw a clean check is consistently a long suspension ... but jumping and striking the opposing player in the head with your helmet is just fine?

It's like giving a suspension for a neutral zone trip but not for a baseball swing to the head.

 

[Intoewsables]

I'm going to hell for how much this made me laugh. This is now every Oilers fan ever to me.

I thought it was common knowledge that the draft lottery was their Stanley Cup.

 

[WTG]

Some interesting games today.

Winnipeg vs Boston
Ehlers first game

Buffalo vs Ottawa
Eichel's first game

Edmonton vs Stl Louis
Fabbri and McDavid's first game

Pittsburgh vs Dallas
Sprongs first game (Cheering for him with my dutch pride)

 

[Ainec]

Kings and Dustin Brown gets a pass from the league, nothing new

 

[Intangibos]

How can slamming your helmet into someone's face not be suspension worthy? I'd rather get a shoulder to the head than a ****ing helmet

Every time the Kings do something bad, which is often, my distaste for their fanbase grows more and more. Their players never deserve suspensions ever, everyone else is soft, Burrows deserves to have his career ended, Couture is a ***** who won't do anything about it to Lucic and will turtle. Honestly they're CalgaryPuck tier

 

[DL44]

I couldn't stop watching the other Sharks player dive cuz Brown held his stick...

California gonna California

 

[banme*]

Burmistrov bringing the dirt. Will be interesting to see if that's a suspension (should be) after Brown got off.

 

[Zombotron]

I have a friend in Missouri who's going to be sitting in on Connor McDavid's debut.

[1:46:27 PM]: oilers any good?
[1:46:38 PM]: I know literally nothing about hockey kek

He's a baseball fan.

 

[Knight53]

Lazar is nothing special looks like a bottom six guy with below average offensive abilities. Still remember ppl on the main boards saying they would take him over Horvat

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

****ing Lucic. Same old ****. I hope to god we don't sign him next year, I would hate to have him embarrass himself wearing Canuck colours.

We would have all killed to have Lucic against the Flames last spring and you know it.

 

[Intangibos]

If we paid for Lucic instead of Vrbata, we wouldn't have been playing against the Flames last spring and you know it.

 

[Zombotron]

They've got a McDavid-cam going on for the Oilers game

 

[Zombotron]

Edmonton has had very, very little zone time so far. The Blues are all over them. Ouch. Edmonton's PBP guy calls Jaskin "Raskin"

Lucic only works when he is allowed to be a ******. Penalty magnet in Vancouver colours.



Blown away that wasn't an in person hearing for Brown, how is that possible it got nothing? If two or three more players do it then they will crack down hard and start handing out 10 gamers.

Speak for yourself, hoss.

Blues are playing with way more hustle/urgency.

Is Yak just not good or has he been mishandled? (I never hear anything about him)

Yak has had Edmonton's only chance so far. I never hear anything about him or RNH. I think he's being mishandled for sure.

Gilbert Brule was handled better. The Oilers are such a stupid organization. Their handling of Yak has been disgusting. Drafted this amazing Russian sniper and then treated him like **** because he''s a Russian sniper. Stupid.

 

[NetMapel]

Everybody McDavid's name is mentioned, take a shot. Overtime the camera focuses on McDavid's face, take a shot.

Yakupov was pretty good that rookie season in the lockout shortened 13'. They are a joke, poor RNH McDavid etc. look like they know they're doomed.
