Miscellaneous NHL Talk XXI (NHL rule changes, post #36)

[The Rage Kage]

RNH just dropped the gloves against Hamhius, did better than I thought he would

 

[Ryker]

Oh, wow, Cleary has been a healthy scratch thus far, even though all the experts here were sure how bad of a signing that was, because he was going to take away spots from the youngsters.

 

[Striiker]

Either way it's a bad signing. You're either paying someone to not play or you're paying a guy to take up a space that would be better occupied by a superior/younger player.

 

[Sombastate]

Laviolette 2-0-0
Berube 0-0-1

He would've been taking up cap space though, and would have been yet another unmovable asset.

 

[Chinatown88]

So Brodin signs a 6 year extension with the Wild. What happened to bridge deals? Hahaha

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 1m

Brodin's contract is 6 yrs, $25M. He is a good player, that's a good deal for both.

Good deal

 

[RJ8812*]

Laviolette 2-0-0
Berube 0-0-1

Nashville > Philadelphia

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

So this happened.



Good on Myers. Should have concussed the little ****er Shaw for that.

 

[Tripod]

That punch is no different than some others that have concussed guys. But I also see why he did it.

 

[RJ8812*]

should be an automatic ejection to Shaw for that. Did the ref even call it?

 

[Coffe]

Nope, Myers got 2 for roughing though...


I like how Myers waits until Shaw turns his head before he punches him.

these refs are the worst in all of professional sports

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

To be fair, on this particular occasion, Shaw was pretty sneaky with that spear. Would have been easy to miss in real time.

He should be suspended; good on Myers for clocking him, too.

 

[Striiker]

Good job Myers.

Shaw deserves to get hurt there. Typical that he'd get away with it too, the person who actually deserves a penalty is hardly ever the one who gets it

 

[Curufinwe]

Henrik got shelled by the Leafs.

 

[Jtown]

Seems to start slow and finish strong

absolutely. good on Myers for decking him.

 

[The Rage Kage]

Henrik got shelled by the Leafs.

There's a video of him right when he gets to the bench. He looked pissed. Can't really blame him

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

that 3rd goal allowed by Hutchinson tonight.
very Leighton like.
3 goals allowed on 13 shots

 

[Beef Invictus]

If I'm not mistaken he was Detroit's Grossmann/Rinaldo, the guy who kept getting ice time he didn't deserve

My point was that everyone was so vocal and omniscient saying how Cleary will absolutely be in the lineup this year, taking away youngsters' spots. Thus far, he hasn't been. And my point back then when the debate was ongoing was that everyone should be a bit more humble in terms of their abilities to predict the future and get into the minds of others. I was of course shot down as being ridiculous for thinking this way.

 

[FLYERSG]

I watched the first 2 Flyer games away at school on my 34" TV. I came home and was watching the Montreal game on my 60" TV. I stream through my Mac using hockeystreams. At school, everything is good; but during the Montreal game the TVs brightness seemed to be changing every couple seconds. Is this a hockeystreams issue? Or?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Avalanche are warming up without pucks for their game against the Bruins.

Bold strategy.

 

[Curufinwe]

Rough start to the season for a Flyers/Avs fan, huh?

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Way to go Myers. I hope there is no supplementary discipline against him.
