OT: Around the NHL - Good hocket is good

[EightyOne]

NHL app is terrible because the league is run by morons who dont understand connectivity.

Other apps are whatever because no one cares about developing apps for a third tier league.

Good luck Tommy boy.

I got The Score thanks @PatrickCvetic. Seems pretty good.

Leafs have asked teams interested in Nylander what they’d be willing to move. December 1st is getting close to the RFA signing deadline.

Doing a good Malkin impression or the Sens are just terrible?

Oh man, I wish we could, but I think there's a few teams that are going to be front runners for him. I remember reading the Islanders really really wanted him.

This is where one would wish the Leafs really really loved Maatta or something. Because then we would have a fighting chance.

Like Maatta, Jarry, Sprong, + 1st. for Nylander and their 2nd.

The Sens are just terrible.

I mean, they parted like Tampa once did against Geno, but they literally didn't even put up a token defense and Hedman was barely skating, so, no, it's not like Malkin. It's the Sens sucking.

This Vinnie Hinostroza with a TERRIFIC period against the caps. I like his game. Bring him to Pittsburgh

Dzingel with a goal as well for OTT...I like him better...any chance we could get either of them for Sprong..

Bring them to us.

Holtby looks identical to Murray. Identical. Zona playing very well.

Everybody and their mother can beat NJD right now except the Pens.......they’re losing to Jets and are last in the Metro...

But somehow we’ll manage to lose to them Tuesday night and be dominated in the process...

It takes a certain level of negativity to turn Winnipeg beating New Jersey into we’ll lose on Tuesday and get our ass kicked.

I guess you don’t have to watch now.

What’s our record against NJD last year and this year to date? I rest my case...

 

[EightyOne]

At sharks flames game. San Jose pretty much dominating even though scoreboard doesn't reflect that

I feel like Sprong and a pick for Dzingel is a gold move.

Sens fans said Dzingel “would get more”, but I don’t see how a UFA is getting more.

I’d even replicate the Hartman trade from last year.

 

[Turin]

Dzingel is a middle six player I can get behind. I’m still kind of mad at him for tying the game in game 7.

 

[EightyOne]

Lol karllson is such a f***ing train wreck in san jose lol lol f***

 

[Gurglesons]

Dzingel is a middle six player I can get behind. I’m still kind of mad at him for tying the game in game 7.

He’s the type of player that scores 15-20 on his own, but with Malkin at center potentially hits 20 on the regular.

Would likely be a steal if we could get him and then sign him to a 4 x 4 deal like Hags had.

 

[EightyOne]

Also. E. Kane is magical. Pens shoulda tried harder to get him.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Lol karllson is such a ****ing train wreck in san jose lol lol ****

I finally get to draft Karlsson in fantasy and this is how he repays me.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Lol karllson is such a ****ing train wreck in san jose lol lol ****

He’s always been overrated. The only superstar on a team tends to

 

[Turin]

Imagine getting Sidney Crosby in 2005 and not really getting better by 2009.

 

[Turin]

Sundqvist has got 4 points in 7 games..

 

[Andy99]

Sundqvist has got 4 points in 7 games..

I know...he’s been better than Sheahan and Cullen...I’ve watched a few Blues games...another example of us giving away too many young guys...

Retired player Daniel Carcillo, one of the plaintiffs, urged players not to accept the settlement. In a series of tweets , he said players would be forced to see the same NHL and NHLPA doctors to determine if they'd be eligible for treatment.

Carcillo also asked for Wayne Gretzky's thoughts: "I want him to use his platform to help the men who protected him throughout his career. Lack of pressure from former players is a direct result of this insulting attempt at a settlement."

Messages left with several players who were part of the lawsuit were not immediately returned.

Imagine going to the same doctors that said you were fine, when it was clear you never were after the brain trauma....jesus christ.

Oh and...

The settlement is significantly less than the billion-dollar agreement reached between the NFL and its former players on the same issue of head injuries. Each player who opts in would receive $22,000 and could be eligible for up to $75,000 in medical treatment.

Vs.

The NFL settlement covers more than 20,000 retired players, and lawyers expect payouts to top $1.5 billion over 65 years. As of last month , the NFL concussion lawsuit claims panel has approved more than $500 million in awards and paid out $330 million.

NHL, retired players reach $19M concussions settlement | The Guardian

It feels weird to think Daniel Carcillo is the voice of reason in the concussion lawsuit.

That settlement amount is a massive slap in the face of retired players that are suffering when you compare what the NFL players got, the lawyer saying it's not comparable is a piece of crap. It is. Both acted like PCS and issues surrounding concussions weren't even real.

You're allowed to feel how you want about players, but we're not going down that road. It'll only piss people off.
