Around The NHL Discussion 2019/20 - Part III

Trouba got fined for the slashes he did to Dunn last night.

Good. It’s the right call. He ate a few hands and lost a few thousand dollars. That’s what he deserves for whacking at Dunn’s shins five times with no time left in the game. It was simply a temper tantrum and he got dealt with accordingly.

I love stuff like Tkachuk vs Kassian and Tkachuk vs Doughty. It’s fun and it makes you want to tune into those games. If it wasn’t for that, why would I want to watch those games?

The Tkachuks are so entertaining and great for hockey.

Pronger did something similar to Peter Forsberg a while back. The Colorado team was comfortably ahead, and Forsberg was skating circles around us. Pronger thought he was showing off and making us look foolish.

Pronger was penalized, butI don't remember him being fined. I supported what Pronger did. Still do.

Maybe Kassian should keep his head up and stop being a bitch.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Maybe Kassian should keep his head up and stop being a *****.

Not a fan of Kassian’s antics last game, nor of Tkachuk’s disregard for his opponent’s safety. The feud isn’t a surprise in a rivalry game, but I wouldn’t want either guy acting like this vs the Blues.

 

[Twisted Blue]

Why is there an unwritten code that a third party shouldn't body check an engaged player but not an actual rule? This seems like something that should be part of the rules.

I tuned into the game because it was the Battle of Alberta and I figured there would be entertainment to be had. Definitely wasn’t disappointed, but I thought it might spill over into the third, but it really didn’t.

The OT of the Bruins-Flyers game was crazy. Basically prison rules. Bruins got away with two or three blatant trips but no calls.

Edit: and the games ends with the Flyers winning in the shootout when Marchand WHIFFS taking the puck off the center dots on his attempt to extend the game. He touched it just enough on the way by to move it off the dot and have it count as a miss.

[Blueston]

Tage had right shoulder surgery today. Out for the year.

 

[Bluesfan54]

At least he got to play a little in his only NHL game. He must be really bummed out.

 

[BlueDream]

Now let’s check in on the Red Wings... aaannndddd it’s 6-1 midway through the 2nd.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I never thought I'd say this, but, man I feel bad for Red Wing fans.

 

[Bluesfan54]

Too bad the Blues don't play them until the end of March.

 

[shpongle falls]

Machand missing the puck on the shootout

 

[TK 421]

I'm surprised he didn't go for a line change.

 

[mk80]

Wow just saw the score of the Detroit vs. Islanders game... I guess they played that game at the New York State Prison cause that is a prison pounding if I ever saw one.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Now let’s check in on the Red Wings... aaannndddd it’s 6-1 midway through the 2nd.

They had to get back on track for that insane goal differential seeing as they only had a -5 differential in their last 6 games.

 

[The Note]

Growing up at a time where the Red Wings were the big boys on the block and the Blues were little brother, it’s still hard to comprehend that they’re on track to be the worst team of the cap era.

 

[Eldon Reid]

The Wild are such a hot mess.

Boudreau listed only 5 dman on the lineup card against Pens.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Lol at Vegas. They just fired Gallant and replaced him with Peter DeBoer. That’s a bad move. Gallant is a better coach and DeBoer is the biggest baby of a coach I’ve ever seen.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Did Vegas really just fire one of the best coaches in the game?

 

[BlueDream]

That move just makes no sense. He does the unthinkable and takes them to the Cup in their very first season. Then last year they likely make it to at least the 2nd round if not for a historically bad call.

I mean what’s the reasoning for this? Yeah Vegas isn’t anything special right now but that’s because their defense sucks. Fix the roster, not the coach.

Absolutely wild season for coaches. At least this might spice up the Sharks-Knights rivalry even more.
