Around the League Thread: RIP Mike Ilitch / Nyquist offered in-person hearing

 

[Warden of the North]

Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch has passed away

 

[Bullseye]

Red Wings owner Mile Ilitch has passed away

Massive loss to the Red Wings and the NHL - one of the greatest owners ever.

 

[lebdafor norris]

So Jets keep losing even after their 'tough schedule' and injuries..

Western teams hoping to win the president trophy are blessed to have the Avs, Coyotes and the Jets to beat up on.

I am sad (sniff) I can't change the title anymore.
AND we lost the cool PVR Joke.

why, why would you lose the PVR joke?

The State of Michigan, and even more, the City of Detroit lost a great man.

Living in Windsor, I've enjoyed the experiences he made happen.

Brent Burns is just unreal. Watching the Sharks-Devils game and after two bar-down goals he's now two points out of the NHL scoring lead.

How is it "official"?

Does the league have a rule that says at 400 wins you're now "elite"?

I guess it's Sportsnet definition of him being elite since they are the ones who wrote that in the tweet.

I wonder how many games Gustav Nyquist should get for this high stick on Jared Spurgeon?



Bob McKenzie said for comparison last year Duncan Keith got a 6 game suspension for this and one of those games was a playoff game he missed.

My goodness that's malicious .. He should have the book thrown at him

What happened to the Habs ?

It looks like the players have quit on Therrien.

For the second night in a row, their PGT is lovely. I'll take solace in that until they hire Julien and start dominating again.

 

[Field of Dreams]

Habs PGT sooooo spicy right now

 

[ACC1224]

Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch has passed away

Had a buddy who worked the boxes at the Gardens and one Sunday morning showed me Mr. Ilitich's credit card receipt for his food and drink.
Bill was around $3300 as I recall, tipped $1000. My friend served him many times, always remarked how he treated everyone the same whether you were serving him a drink or a guest of his in the box.

My goodness that's malicious .. He should have the book thrown at him

One of the dirtier plays I can recall, like Slapshot level dirty.

Looks like Boston may be closing in on Landeskog, really hoping they overpay
That would hurt our chances this year, but if they sacrifice McAvoy +, that likely helps us out in the future

Landeskog is the type of winger we need to.

Landeskog - Matthews - Marner

It's pretty obvious they should and rebuild.

It's also pretty obvious they won't and will try to get into the playoffs.

IMO the Sedin's are going to retire as Canucks, leaving the team with no assets in return .. They're going to try to win with them until they're gone.
