Post-Game Talk: Predators lurking in Ottawa, Mon. 7:30 pm TSN

If anyone was picking a fight it was turris. Don’t bite off what you can’t chew.

That's not what I saw. I was surprised Ryan didnt get an instigator

I was referring to his slashes. You don’t get an instigator if the other guy is assaulting you beforehand

That had to be one of the best ways to start a two week vacation. A win and a absurd fight. The choir boy vs. The slacker with glass hands?!? Messed up. But entertaining.

If I had to guess Kyle slashed Ryan and chirped him after and it just broke Bobby mentally.

Going back to last year even I can envision a locker room where there was two tiers of players - Kyle and Erik in the one - and Bobby in the other. Had to hold a grudge. Pure heresay and speculation.

Well that settles it, he'll be in Nashville next year.

He's actually not bad though.

 

[BonkTastic]

That's weird. Looked like a slash at the hands, twice by a former teammate who knows all about Bobby's hands issues. Glad he fed Turris.

Yeah, this is what I saw, too.

Clearly this means they're getting traded.

JTLYK . Batherson was sent down to Belleville. Tweet in the Belleville thread. I thought they'd see how it went with Duchene coming back, but . I do not disagree with the decision.

 

[coladin]

Cool seeing Duchene sing, he is actually very good at it. Now get back on the ice!

I have a feeling it could be Dzingel-Duchene-Ryan as a line, maybe Bobby gets going. I have always found Ryan's body language on the ice changes when he is with a marquee centre. He looks more engaged.

Have to agree. Ryan is the kind of player who is easily affected by his confidence.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Which is weird because that's not what they were doing at all for the first 20-25 games. Looks like Boucher has lost his balls somewhere along the way.

Or got outcoached as usual.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Enjoy your last season in Ottawa Ceci

Or...an 8 year extension @ 5.5 million. Dorion gives high fives all OVER the place.

 

[Alex1234]

Hope he works on his cardio and foot speed too

 

[Clayonator]

They’re being replaced by Quinneville, McLellan, Hakstol and Yeo.

Yep:

 

[DaveMatthew]

Yep:

Shots fired by Bobby Ryan. I find it rich to hear it coming from him though. I was kidding in my other posts about how he picked the fight to "appear engaged", but to be honest, he's as big a problem as any team in the league has.

The day he's out of the locker room will be a great day for this team. Guy's a problem on and off the ice.

From what I've heard, Ryan is "cordial" with everyone, but isn't really part of the group, hasn't been in the past, and doesn't care to be.

In recent years, the team has had two main "cliques", if that's what you want to call them.

The Karlsson group: Karlsson, Turris, Methot, Phaneuf, MacArthur, Thompson (these guys are mostly gone)
The Stone group: Stone, Ceci, Pageau, Wideman and now the young guys White and Tkachuk

In Ottawa "social" circles, these groups are fairly separate.

Ryan isn't part of either.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Sounds like Ryan needs to win the next immunity challenge to keep himself safe in the locker room.

I recall Ryan being really close with MacArthur. Ryan was the one who freaked out an jumped Sieloff when he layed out MacArthur. It was also a big deal that Ryan assisted Mac's OT winner against Boston.

Also, it's worth noting that from those two lists, the everyone in the top list is aged 28-34, and everyone in the bottom list is aged 19-26. (also, I don't believe Wideman is in the bottom group). It's not that crazy to believe social circles are drawn around age groups.

I like the Stone group better (Widmean and Ceci can go away though!)

Ceci brings any group down by a factor of 10 though, so you need to consider that...

Does that mean....it would be easier for me to get into that clique then?
