Wow, I hated Pierre Maguire because I found him annoying as f***. Turns out he’s a piece of shit too.

He got a crosscheck from the entire team. Whoa, that's unique.
Everyone realizes they are making a big deal of this to take the heat off the other story...

The injury that he recovered from, returned for the playoffs, and TBs cap situation. So, they play up the crosscheck thing and he was injured to diffuse all that other stuff. Players playing through injuries are 'warriors' - don't question them...

I see it's working already!
I was never big on the salary cap thing though so I didn't make the connection. The Kucherov comments in the post game was where my mind went, but that also wasn't a huge deal to me. He's just unprofessional.

The actual diagnosis was non-displaced rib fracture. Which you can get by coughing too hard. Seriously. But the headline says "Kucherov Played With Broken Rib", which make you think SNAPPED IN HALF.
Playoff hockey is tough. Guys get injured. Guys play through injuries. A lot of the time we never even learn about it. Big deal.

The slashes Kucherov gave Pageau last year on that empty net breakaway we’re 10 times worse than the crosscheck Mayfield gave him

Hockey players are tough, among the toughest athletes in the world, but Drew Brees, his 11 broken ribs and collapsed lung laugh at the need for Tampa and Kucherov to play up his boo boo for sympathy.

Precisely, I would not believe what TB team officials report. Kucherov does not get the benefit of doubt. He is a known embellisher who came back this season from a LTIR injury that allowed TB to skirt the salary cap. The fact was he was well enough to play after the Mayfield hit, and he only winced after trying to hit Barzal who was a target that game, it could have happened there. Broken rib is hyperbole at it's finest. Non displaced rib fracture is defined by the American Association for surgery is Simple (non-displaced) fractures appear as cracks in the rib or a jagged edge.

FWIW, Lebrun saying the Habs are expected to let Danault go UFA. That's kind of crazy, IMO.

I can't believe @doublechili wasn't all over this one.
So good
I dont know, Danault is a decent player but I dont think he is worth anywhere near what he thinks he is worth right now. The guy is basically a 10 goal 35 point player. You dont pay 5-6 million per year for a defensive center.

I know, right? Must've been before the coffee kicked in. That was like the French-Canadian version of "Who's on First". Thanks for taking care of things.

The main board has never been my barometer on a player.
Unless they’re expecting Heiskanen to explode this year 8/$67M is too much AAV.
A lot harder. Not saying Heiskanen is a bad player, just that there isn’t enough body of work there for me to pay him Subban money.
