Miscellaneous NHL Discussion: Post-Trade Deadline Edition

[Cootsfanclub]

I would bet my life on Parros “stepping down from his duties” this offseason. Gary don’t even believe the shit he’s shoveling.

Who replaces him? I'm thinking one of Avery, Neil, Carcillo, Thortnon, or Prust.

Get Claude Lemieux in there.

Well I can tell you it won’t be Carcillo. Guy has pretty much waged a Twitter war over the years against the NHL & hockey in general.

I don't think you can blame Wilson for the Panarin situation. Wilson got jumped (deservedly) and Panarin fell awkwardly in a wrestling scrum that happens every other game. The only thing that could prevent this is stopping any scrum from happening.

He punched Panarin when he was done after the fact. That kind of play may happen sometimes but when a player falls like that you don’t shove his head to the ice again. Closely timed head injuries freak me out. That’s bad stuff there. I don’t think Panarin had a helmet on right?

I just became aware of the fact that Matt Cooke is employed by the Pens. Maybe he's up for it

That’s a good option. Steve Downie.

Personally, I go off the board and pick a female representative.

Like there probably is some advantage to former players in those roles but on the flip side a lot of these guys are incredibly inside the bubble & bias themselves. So you’re pretty much at a standstill.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Nah, i'm pretty sure it's completely fair to question him.

250k to the Rangers owners is nothing. I still think what they said was great.

only the fine tho set a precedent. You get into a scrum like that it’s pretty much anything goes. You cannot suspend anyone for doing dirty things in scrums. You don’t think players will take advantage of that? It won’t happen every night but players know the price is only 5k for that kind of bullshit.

That’s wild... IIRC, the statement wasn’t even personally demeaning. There was clear statement of lack of confidence in Parros’ competence, but that’s a professional issue

 

[StarterHart]

Anyone with a foreign looking name would get suspended and questioned if they're in the country legally.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Should have forced his head into the ice & punched him instead. Would have been cheaper.

This pretty much makes next rags caps game a must watch.

Gonna have to carry it into next season at the earliest.

I like the job Ferraro does.

 

[Striiker]

Olczyk sucks

Olczyk sucks

He’s pretty much meh to me. Perhaps Pierre, Milbury, Roenick, etc. overshadowed him to me over the years. The bar is low though.

 

[philly_28]

I hate Tom Wilson and the NHL for putting me squarely into the Rangers' corner on this one.

Just doesn't feel right...

The statement by the Rangers was awesome, spitting straight facts. The league is a joke.

The only broadcasters I don’t dislike are Miller and Ferraro.

I just lump the rest together.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

imagine a world were you arent supposed to question someones job performance..

LOL the future...

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I like the job Ferraro does.

Ferraro is the best in the biz currently.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Ferraro is the best in the biz currently.

Yep, this is great news. Steal him from Canada. Hopefully they have the sense to nab Gord too.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I would massively prefer to just leave them there and let us watch that broadcast. This is the best compromise we could hope for.
