Sucks that Sid missed those 6 games, it's looking like McDavid won't let up the lead. The Flyers incident was pretty funny- 2 generational talents are now on the bad side of Philly

Sid will catch up. Mcdavid will slow down ...especially if the oilers start losing towards second half of season.

The Oilers may start losing more, but I think McDavid will still produce a lot. Remember, they get to play Calgary, Arizona, and Vancouver a lot.

 

[Dying Alive]

Regardless of McDavid I would have loved to see Sid play a whole season this year with the way he's playing. This is as good/healthy as he's looked in a few years.



What the hell was Price thinking there?

 

[Asuna]

lmao wtf. price just went insane

 

[Wes C Addle]

Good on Lovejoy there. I don't know much about his temperament but I'm a little surprised that Schneider didn't come down. I mean the other goalie is taking at least 4 swings at your teammate. Might want to investigate that Corey.

 

[Dying Alive]

Really surprised he didn't get ejected there.

Yup. McDavid likely has the scoring title in the bad. The West is terrible this year.

I love how there is no call on the play for Petry running Palmieri into Price, but after Price get's up to beat on Palmieri a penalty is awarded to him for goalie interference. Just pathetic

 

[Shady Machine]

Geez. That was insane by Price

Not sure where else to put this but some pretty sad news:

The Boston Globe reports 51-year-old Kevin Stevens entered the plea Thursday in a Boston federal court to a charge of conspiring with another man to sell oxycodone.

I'm glad he's admitting to it, but it's really sad to see the struggles he's had.

Ultimately I think that's what will result in McDavid winning the Art Ross.

Oh well, individual awards are nice...winning is nicer.

Looking at the McDavid/Manning thread on the main boards, it really confirms the fact that the people who call out alleged whining are generally the biggest whiners themselves.

 

[Dying Alive]

That's a lot of term for a player like Clutterbuck.

 

[Shockmaster]

That's a lot of term for a player like Clutterbuck.

Yeah, that's just too long for a 4th liner. Desperation move by Snow IMO.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Clutterbuck must of been laughing so hard after leaving Snow's office!!!

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I like Clutterbuck a lot and absolutely think he's one of the best pure fourth line players of his generation...but you simply do not give a five year extension to a physical fourth liner who will turn 30 a month into the season that contract kicks in.

He looked awful at the pregame ceremony.

Yeah but Clutterbuck has been playing on the first line this season, soooo it's a great deal!

 

[Speaking Moistly]

it's like Shero on steroids.

 

[Shockmaster]

it's like Shero on steroids.

Even Shero kept all the contracts he gave to Adams at 2-year deals.

 

[mpp9]

4th line players should never get term. Ever.

I could only stand to read about five pages of that thread. I did see a Flyer fan (I'm pretty sure) say something like "Keep that stuff on the ice. Oh, well. He'll learn." I was shocked. A Flyer fan NOT accusing a young star of whining?! Since when?? But I guess, after reading your post, the thread devolved into calling him a whiner.

 

[Gunnar Staal]

Remember when the whole world laughed at Garth Snow signing Rick DiPietro to a fifteen-year deal?

It's like they never learn.
