It's the inconsistency that gets me. Like Perron hitting Zub, yeah maybe the fact that he went after the wrong guy is part of it, but he gets 6 games for a violent attack, while gudbranson gets 1? Here's the thing, I understand each player's reaction. Gudbranson feels like the refs didn't do their job there. He takes a number and goes after him. He should totally just go for a big hit instead of throwing punches like that, but I get it. Perron, I get it too, he sees his captain unconscious on the ice and goes after who I assume he thought did it to him. But if the message is no more vigilante justice, you gotta keep it consistent. is it a stick vs fists thing for the league? Its not like Perron has a history of this kind of stuff either. 6-8 games for both would have been fine in my book.

Blake wheeler best value signing in the offseason never doubted it

Bottom 6 is dragging us into the fight….but we’re not interested in fighting

got lucky to end my shots on goal cold streak last night with Jack Hughes Over 4.5 shots. he got all 5 in the third period. Rockin with Jeff Skinner O3.5 tonight

with two points tonight, Tavares can notch point #1000 on Long Island. If only DraftKings had his point total prop at over 1.5 I would be HAMMERING it

I think we need to confront the very real possibility that Johnny Brodzinski is better than Kaapo Kakko

I wish I put more on it but I tailed you on that one. Im going for 7 Shots on Goal picks in a row tonight. GOing more conservative today with Sean Walker on the flyers, O1.5 -166

Im not sure who would take him, for anything other than us adding a pick. Unless we're coming up on the deadline, and we need just a tiny bit of cap space to pull off a big trade that makes us big-time cup favorites, i don't think the pick is worth the small cap space increase we get from moving him, relative to the potential upside he can bring in crunch time

I doubt there's anyone who would want him at this point. I think the potential upside of keeping him very much outweighs getting rid of him. I'd rather keep him in the hopes that a 37 year old understands that he's gonna be counted on to bring something in the playoffs and he's probably just not killing himself to be at his best early in the season, vs the 0, maybe even negative return on him without really giving us much cap relief either.

totally normal for teams to have a lull as you start getting into the grind of a long season. They bought themselves a lot of runway so even if they lost these 2 games this weekend, they'd still be in a good spot and it wouldn't be panic time I can forgive a not-so-great performance against San Jose there. SJ gets to play with no pressure anymore. they got their losing out of the way early. These teams can also give you problems because there's pressure to not lose to the basement dwellers. Human nature to approach this kind of game as a 'we can't lose this one' instead of a 'Lets go win this one' if that makes any sense @Pete is right though, this team is never out of any game. Even their 5 losses, most can be forgiven Loss 1 - In columbus, that was just a wacky game, 2 goals called back by tiny margins. They were the better team Loss 2 - Nashville at home - Just an off night early Loss 3 - Minnesota in a shootout, yeah we blew a lead, was a game we werent the best in though and were still right there. take a road point and move forward Loss 4 - Dallas - were controllilng a game on the road agaisnt a very good team, just had a tough third period that got away from us Loss 5 - Buffalo - first game after a 3 in 4, played a big game against Boston before that that I think they poured a lot into. Were due for an off night. Even a REALLY good team is going to lose 20-25 a season

I dont recall which signing broke first, the Redden or the Rozsival signing. my "WHAT?!" moment was more to do with having both of them. though i think you are right too. I think he was asked to play too big a role and that hurt him too.

All worth it for the Roofjob on Price, i dont care what else happened. me and a friend of mine would always get into Tanner Glass battles. I didnt mind him. He wasnt good, but at the end of the day if he was your biggest problem, it couldnt have been all that bad

In my opinion, this had more to do with it than anything. There was no need to have both of them and it hurt Roszival's game Still, Roszival proved that on a really good team, he was a great third-pairing guy. Add him to the list of guys who won a cup after they left us because for years we had the ideal cup-winning supporting cast, but not the true game-breaker to win it all.

that streak i posted ended at 11. then 3 Ls in. row. then now 6/7 tongiht, Jack Hughes O4.5 shots -135. feels like free money to me honestly. He might get this over in 1 period against San Jose

Plus my Jesper Fast jersey is now worthless

I think those are much different situations. I dont think the Redskins or Indians were meant to honor native american heritage. don't think they are comparable here. But i totally agree with your second point.

I dont think this is correct, especially because of the reasons you gave. If anything the so-called 'woke' crowd would be more upset about them NOT letting him wear it. its simply the consequences of their own dumb response to the pride tape issue. They thought they were clever in preventing any stories about players refusing to participate in Pride Nights by saying 'no more anything' and now they are facing the consequences of their own decisions (not that it will be harsh consequences, im sure it will all blow over)

Played two very good periods. Wedgewood kept the game from getting out of hand early, and sometimes good teams (like Dallas) find ways to break out and win a game. no panic button here. Take it on the chin and move on.

Suck my D from the back

Refs have lost control of this one

Direct headshot….idk what the hell this league is anymore

If that’s a goal then our disallowed one last game is a goal.

Aside from it being 3 on 3, I think its just weird to have random rules specific to OT, like shot clocks, 2 line pass back in effect, no leaving the zone, etc. I think the only fix I would do is make the 3 on 3 be 10 minutes. current system has its flaws, but when it's going back and forth, it's genuinely very exciting. Im fine with th OT 'loser' point but wouldnt complain if they got rid of it. other than that though, making all these random rules that only apply to OT play will just make the game more confusing and less fun to view for new/casual fans. Imagine the NFL decided that in OT you get one less lineman, but you also arent allowed to run the ball more than X amount of times, but you also need to throw more than 10 yards from the line of scrimmage.

love some 2 p.m. hockey....that i have to stream illegally because i don't have NHL network and the league is so dumn that they don't consider that anyone might want to stream this on ESPN+ and anyone watching sports right now would totally be interested in putting this on
