News from Around the NHL 2014-2015 Edition

[The Underboss]

It's not all on Yeo, that team is so flawed. Parise and Suter are studs yet they are aging studs who will likely start to regress rather than get better. Tin man Vanek has checked out and probably took his BFF Pominville with him into 'I don't give a crap' land. Koivu has looked terrible and disinterested. Granlund is overrated, Nino is the same Nino we all know and hate (low level hockey IQ and one dimensional as he is STILL a defensive liability), their other young players look more like pretenders than legit contenders, etc. It's too bad there is no more cap geek, but it's probably a good thing for Fletcher because I wouldn't want to look at the train wreck he has put together. Nice job replacing Heatley's contract with Vanek's, his successor. Matt Cooke is a POS.

Such an unlikable team from an Isles' fans perspective and I'm not shedding a tear over their demise with how some of their 'classy' fans came here to gloat all of last year on the Nino and Vanek situations.

And those contracts are going to start to look horrible.

Nabby just got the yank allowing 4 goals on 13 shots vs the flyers. Made it only 2 1/2 minutes into the second period before getting the hook. He's done

EDIT: Putting Bishop in hasn't help. 6-1 flyers not even 1/2 way through the game. TB has dug their own grave taking penalty after penalty

Ovechkin puts the Caps up 2-1 over the Avs. Two minutes left in the 2nd.

Remember when teams used to lose?

Yeah I remember that, seems like the Rangers and Caps are both hot and even us doing a respectable 6-3-1 in our last 10 games is losing ground

Minnesota got embarrassed by the Pens 7-2. Couldn't happen to a nicer team... they've got some serious flaws and it's not easily correctable with Fletcher's piss poor cap management. Where are those Minny fans gloating now? I'm glad they have tin men like Vanek and Nino while we don't.

I can't wait to read the Vanek anger. It won't be far behind.

Downie looked like he needed a minute to figure out where he was and went to the dressing room. He hasn't come back yet. No penalty on the play.

I am porting this from the main board, That's Downie's face and Suter's elbow. Dirty little move by Suter. He is going to sit for that one BUT.... I still call this eye candy. nom nom nom

The only way that would be better is if it were one of the Penguins doing that to Cooke. Two of the biggest ******** in the league.

Is it possible to suspend Suter for the elbow AND Downie for embellishment? Notice how his head paused halfway through the rotation?

Probably tonight here this may go a bit unnoticed, Mathieu Perrault scored 4 goals tonight as Winnipeg beat Florida 8-2.

Anybody catch this in the Bruins / Bolts game? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-p...ric-paquette-with-punch--video-022702245.html

Even more interesting are Marchand's comments. That guy really is a ********* lol.

Cheap move, yes...but I don't think Suter was targeting Downie's head, he was just trying to get a piece of him as he skated by. He didn't even look in Downie's direction when sticking out his elbow. He may still get suspended for a game but it's not that big of a deal...

Zdeno hit Cedric in the headric.

What can I say? The poetry thing is just a gift of mine.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the play. He was probably throwing the elbow out to impede his progress, not necessarily with the intent to injure. If he catches him in the chest/shoulder, nothing really happens. But that was not the end result and his actions should have consequences. Ultimately you have to be in control, and responsible, of your stick/body if it ends up injuring another player.
