Around the NHL: Part XX

[GoAwayPanarin]

Isles with their typical *****ey win tonight. They’re winning the fn cup, aren’t they?

They're not winning a round with that roster lol.

 

[Cmox]

Horrible news.

 

[Zibanejbread]

Terrifying to watch. Hope JBo is alright.

 

[RangersFan1994]

That's scary

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

That clip is terrible man, media needs to stop passing it around

LOL...there ya go again. NO they aint winning the Cup. They'll be lucky to win a round in the playoffs.

I'll tell you who is winning the Cup tho....the Lightning. Yup Tampa is going to win it this year after everybody and their mother thought they'd win it last year after their ridiculous regular season as I believe they'll beat the Avalanche in 7 awesome exciting games.

So f*** the Islanders...lol

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

Watching the Avs play the Sens is like watching the Russian Red Army team playing a bunch of high schoolers.

 

[nyrage]

4 points for Leon Drai. No McDavid tonight, but some people will still say claim that he's a product of playing with McDavid.

LOL...so true. Colorado is loaded with talent it's not even fair. Sakic did a tremendous job this past off season bringing in the Burakovsky's, Kadri's, Graves, Nichuskin's and Bellamar's of the world to give them bigtime depth to go with their studs.

And now that Grubauer has found his stride as he's playing now like he did during the 2nd half of last season when he stole the gig from Varlamov, I don't see any team beating them out West and yes that includes the Blues.

Imagine if they get Kreider as well which from everything I've read and heard, they will be in the mix to get him? My lord they would be almost untouchable and I'd have to revise my prediction that the Lightning will be beating them in the Cup final and instead I'd have to take Colorado to beat Tampa than if they got Kreider.

he gets some of the cheapest points though lol. I've never seen him make a spectacular play, he just always manages to be around when a goal is scored though. He'll throw a softie on net, then there will be a scramble and someone will put it in and he gets the apple haha. Meanwhile Panarin is setting guys up with cross-rink passes and they flub it. Sigh....

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Yup, and there is another, more gruesome looking one. If that makes you squeamish, don't look at this

Spoiler: Video

2 playrs hit in the face with a skate blade, Bouwmeester collapsing on the bench, Winnipeg honoring 2 wife-beaters. What the hell was going on in the NHL last night?

Wait. I missed the 1st 2 periods. Who’d they honor?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Bobby Hull and Thomas Steen were on the ice for the ceremonial puck drop. Love the inconsistency of the NHL here, where Voynov is spit out, but these two (especially Bobby Hull) is paraded around like a hero

[KirkAlbuquerque]

that sucks

 

[leetch99]

I thought it was Randy Carlyle and Steen ? Edit: They were both inducted into Winnipeg Jets HOF and honored last night .

Bouwmeester had a cardiac arrest and had to be defibrillated back to life. That's absolutely crazy that he was apparently awake and alert after all of that. He's very lucky.

f*** dude. that's. wow. I'm so glad he's alright. as soon as I read "he skated his shift, came back to the bench and collapsed", I was immediately reminded of Cherry. very happy JayBo didn't suffer the same fate.

If I'm Jaybo I'm hanging them up after that. He's got a championship and has had a hell of a career.

If only that arena in Russia had the same equipment he could still be here. Very sad.

 

[Black Aces]

He likely won't be allowed to play again.

 

[Leetch3]

not much new info but here is the blues press conference on j-bo...starts 2:15 into the video

 

[Leetch3]

obviously it won't happen and the NHL will just let him sit on LTIR until his contract expires cause the league never misses a chance to let teams circumvent the cap...but if weber retires, RIP Nashville

 

[JimmyG89]

He likely won't be allowed to play again.

Hope for a full recovery and this is also probably for the best. He had a full career, and was once regarded as the best skater in the NHL and he really really was. Silky smooth. He was a monster on the ice, the full package.

Was great to see him get his cup last season. Remember him being one of those guys that never played in the playoffs cause the Panthers were bad and went to Calgary and never made it. 10 seasons in the NHL before getting into a playoff game. Had a long iron man streak too.

A full recovery lets him live his life with his family away from hockey, which he's earned and then some.

Seeing the jersey retirement ceremony for the Sedins, Henrik's is coming sooner rather than later.
