Around the NHL 13/14 Part III

[MainDotC]

that's not a real picture is it?

That's a real pic. Just pulled up the game on GCL and verified:

[bacon25]

rofl!!!

 

[KwanTuM]

This was the exact thing I was reminded of.

 

[littleD]

Former Sen on former Sen violence. Jesse Winchester hit Chris Kelly with a flying elbow. No penalty.

 

[Qward]

bad Jesse!

 

[BigBush*]

3 game suspension I'd say

 

[OmniSens]

That was stupid by Jesse... Hope Kelly was alright.

 

[littleD]

Based on the scale of suspension John Scott got for his hit, shouldn't Winchester get about 12 games?

 

[OmniSens]

Alex releasing more Steen tonight. 14th of the season.

Chris Neil broke Chris Kellys leg last year... Now Winchester takes his head off... Not too much love from former team mates

That looks pretty bad. At least 3 games. Maybe double that.

 

[dingbatz]

Looks more WWE than NHL.

Let's assess the "intangible" factors...


Points in his favor:
+ he has no prior history for this sort of thing


Points working against him:
- he is not a superstar
- he plays for a small market team
- he is a tweener, who the NHL loves to make examples of for these sorts of things


... not looking good...

When has Winchester ever rotated between the AHL and the NHL?

His offensive play has apparently shown distinct improvements this season, and we already know about his willingness and ability to battle for pucks along the boards.

With this break, Winchester gets the opportunity to talk contract.

Depends on what your definition of a Tweener is, I guess.

On almost any other team in the league, he's a tweener, IMO. He has a job because he's cheap, and because the Panthers needed cheap bodies to fill out their bottom lines. Once he gets to the point where his age becomes a concern, or he starts demanding anything over a certain reasonable amount of money, he'll lose value fast. He's the kind of guy that loses a roster spot to make room for someone younger.

I love Winny, but the dude is a 4th line specialist on a contender, at best. I think he's done a real nice job of catching lightning in a bottle with the Panthers, but I think he's due for a regression. His shooting percentage is almost 4x his career average right now.

He definitely brings great value to the Panthers for $600k in the NHL, or $125k in the AHL. And he has 4 goals already! He is on pace for 20 goals. Panthers fans seem to think he's alright too.

Well, yeah... if you think that his goal pace is sustainable, then it's great value!

How many PPG+ players are there on each team:

4: OTT
3: NYI SJS
2: ANA DET PIT STL TAM TOR WSH
1: BOS BUF CGY COL LOS VAN

And this is when our best offensive player is still playing below par (spezza).

It's crazy how much better the west is this year than the east.

haha! It's the sad truth.

 

[Benjamin]

Wont get to see Winny in Ottawa.

Maybe last year when he didn't play at all?
