NHL Around the NHL XI - Hall traded to Coyotes by Devils

[Dennis Bonvie]

Shocked nobody has knocked Svech's teeth out with those hot dog lacrosse goals.

I don't get it.

 

[LouJersey]

I don't get it.

Nothing to get, if you enjoy hot dogging gimmicks like that to score all is well, but it is a different era where passivity rules the roost. Guessing he would get a stick to the chops in another era...

Tim Peel has watched the replay and still can’t figure out how it happened, how a sequence he’s skated thousands of times during his 22 years as an NHL referee ended in a fractured ankle.

Christmas 'break': A fluky injury will keep NHL referee Tim...

Making it even more painful for Peel is that it happened on the same day the league assigned him to the 2020 All-Star Game in his adopted hometown of St. Louis, a dream that’s been ruled out after surgery.

Peel will miss three to four months, and maybe the rest 2019-20 season, but because he had already agreed to work the 2020-21 season before retiring, this isn’t expected to be the end of his career.

“It’s frustrating because it’s the first time that I’ve ever been out with an injury,” Peel said. “I broke a few ribs probably six or seven years ago in L.A. Alec Martinez took a slap shot and broke a couple ribs, but I was able to work through that. I’ve had meniscus surgeries and things like that, but I’ve always had them in the summertime. So it’s the first time that I’ve ever been home during the season.”

Even NHL refs get hot wives....well done Tim.

Panthers shelling the Stars. Acciari has two goals tonight and 10 on the season. 6-1 not halfway into the game.

So very awesome

can’t wait for whoever it was that shit on him for the first 3/4 of the season last year to start shitting on Sweeney for letting him go. Who was that poster anyway?

 

[Emerz]

So uhhh how about Noel Accari

 

[KlausJopling]

So uhhh how about Noel Accari

amazing. So happy for him. Hatrick on a short handed penalty shot.

scored on his last 6 shots on goal.

 

[Salem13]

So uhhh how about Noel Accari

Couple of consecutive hatties, everyone gets those right?

 

[Skelen]

I was shocked to see Noel leave Boston, but even more shocked to see how well he's doing right now. Super happy for him, always liked him in Boston. Hard clean hitter who apparently can score hattys at will.

 

[Emerz]

6 goals on 6 shots, my man Noel gonna be padding his bank account after this season, happy for him.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

6 goals on 6 shots, my man Noel gonna be padding his bank account after this season, happy for him.

Well he signed a three-year deal this offseason, so it's gonna have to wait.

Still, he did very well for himself and its great to see him score and have his hard work pay off. Dude is a warrior and I'm happy for him.

Noel Accari had a hat trick Monday and another one tonight - 6 shots 6 goals

Most shocking stat I’ve ever seen considering player

odds have to be a gazilliin to 1

Yeah he's having an amazing run. Fantastic stuff.

If you'd compared him and Kuraly 6 months ago and asked which was the better, more valuable player, then 99% of us would have said Sean. Even I would have, and Acciari's one of my favorite players. But their performance has gone in different directions since October and it's Noel who's really delivering at the moment, not just in goals but in his general play.

I don't say that as a criticism - Kuraly's not been terrible and I think most of the time he's putting the effort in, plus he's in a team that's treading water a bit while the Panthers have the excitement of being up-and-comers, it's just interesting how these things can shift and change quite quickly.

That's just incredible

Congrats to Noel Acciari. Super great guy and we miss his grit and hard work; our 4th line is not the same without him.

I still hold a grudge against the posters here that claimed he had zero hockey IQ.

 

[Olden McGroin]

I wish him a speedy recovery.

That being said, seeing him with his wife, the Joe Jackson classic "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" Immediately popped in my head.

Also, is she "Steppin Out" with him?

 

[Grimey]

This league isn't good enough for Noel Acciari

 

[VanIsle]

Always liked Acciari, bet he never gets another hat trick again. Any takers?

 

[Mantis]

Good for Acciari. Always really liked him.

 

[Over the volcano]

Awesome Acciari story for anyone who missed it...

He took such a beating on these boards

I don’t remember who but you are right it was bad

 

[ON3M4N]

Accoari now has as many goals this season as Bergeron....wow lol. In all seriousness though good for Noel. Guy was model Bruins, played the game the right way and is a genuinely good guy.

 

[Blowfish]

Leafs are back to having the best young players/ team in the league.

I will admit I wasn't the biggest Acciari supporter at first and thought there were a lot better options out there but he grew on me when he was part of the "50's line" with Kuraly and Schaller.
