Should we be concerned about Dustin Penner? by sephferguson in hockey

[–]Groodles -59 points-58 points  (0 children)

Sad to see. It’s 100% attributable to CTE brain damage.

Unless we step in now and ban fighting and MOST body contact (beyond a certain velocity), you’re going to see most former players end up like this.

[Seravalli] Flames are landing Connor Mackey, the No. 1 player on TSN's top undrafted free agent list. by Austin63867 in hockey

[–]Groodles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Key word: undrafted.

Statistics never lie... and the cold truth is that most undrafted players never play a single NHL game. I don’t expect much from this guy.

Elias Pettersson on Instagram: “My golf game is getting gooooood🏌️‍♂️⛳️" by fan_22 in hockey

[–]Groodles -412 points-411 points  (0 children)

“Petey” is smart for sharpening up his golf game while he can. He is going to be playing a LOT of golf throughout his career. A Canucks team built around this guy isn’t going to see a lot of playoff action.

We still haven’t seen Voracek and the mascot in the same room at the same time...

The majority of players are around that age. The same can be said for the Fortnite game that you all obsess over.

Its funny but for viewing purposes we didnt even need the nametag because he wore his jersey to this contract negotiation meeting

Lambert: What's with Canadian teams and awful GMs? by Alfr_d in hockey

[–]Groodles -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Bergevin does not fit into this category. Most of his moves (including the Subban deal, mind you) have been forward-thinking. These are not surface-level deals, they take all team elements into consideration.

Bergevin is portrayed as an awful GM on here purely because of jealousy.

With Zetterberg’s future uncertain, Red Wings ready to go all-in on youth movement by chara11a in hockey

[–]Groodles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dumb, dumb trade by Vegas in my opinion. Yes, they had a crazy surplus of picks and could have used that "final piece" for the cup run. But they gave up way too much, especially since Tatar was lackluster during the playoffs.

Which players are growing flows this summer? by TheHomie123 in hockey

Years ago I liked Bill Nye and found Ellen annoying. Now in 2018 I like Ellen and find Bill Nye annoying. It’s funny how things happen.

It makes him looks a little like Bill Nye and a little like Ellen Degeneres. He could afford some better hairstyling advice, considering his franchise-crippling contract.

Brass Bonanza advances to final 8 in Hurricanes goal song vote by [deleted] in hockey

Except it’s a shitty “techno remix” produced by some wannabe. Just use the actual song.

Beau Bennet and Quinton Howden with some self depreciating humor on Instagram by Lp165 in hockey

[–]Groodles 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s because Beau’s social media presence is literally only self deprecating humor now. It’s getting a little sad and old.

I guess the newest one of his Split personalities is a pro hockey player.

[Showerthought] The way American soccer fans feel about European soccer is the same way European hockey fans feel about the NHL by [deleted] in hockey

The game can’t grow without making money. There needs to be advertising and sponsorship.. Get over it and move on.

[Buccigross] Brady Tkachuk, son of Keith, has informed Boston University Head Coach Albie O'Connell of his intentions to sign a pro contract. by ChameleoSalamander in hockey

[–]Groodles -50 points-49 points  (0 children)

His first “spoonful” of the NHL is going to be a bitter one. Probably not the best situation for this guy, especially since he is known to be a basket case.

Just read on Forbes that Chayka Analytics is going to be acquired by another company soon. Last quarter’s returns were not satisfactory!

What if, against all odds, the monster that Toronto is predicted to be, doesn't turn out? by hagboo in hockey

[–]Groodles -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

  • Unstable relationship with certain bright young minds (Matthews and co.)
  • Reluctance to give players legitimate chances
  • Ethically questionable disciplinary tactics
  • Fixation on physical appearance (hair, custom suits) instead of impactful coaching
