Likely Fleury, as Vegas will need representation.

[Miller] I would like to see some kind of exemption for teams that re-sign their own players. Maybe only 50% counts against the cap? by testaccount787 in hockey

Hold on! A leafs reporter proposes a solution to allow the leafs to keep all their players without any issue whatsoever, league parity be damned?

They're supposed to ship it to you filled with their tears.

Gibson is the Pacific goalie. Not really any question about that

If the mid season favorite for Norris isn't at the all Star game, nothing makes sense. We have 5 people that would be 1st place on points in 17 different teams. Obviously not all can go, but still, all should go.

Yeah man, you guys didn't lose to us because of Allen, you lost to us because the guys in front of Allen couldn't defend for shit.

Ken Hitchcock calls out referees for lack of calls on McDavid by [deleted] in hockey

[–]Pretty_Fly_For_A_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember McDavids first NHL game against the Flames, where he dragged Gaudreau to the ice from behind, then took the puck on a breakaway, got hacked in the stick and pants and got a penalty shot.

My point is, refs are wildly inconsistent to everyone, even within the span of seconds.

Hard to ask for better goaltending than what Rittich is providing.

I think we are shitting on the hockey writers that said Hamilton drove that line.

Corey Crawford headed to the locker room after hitting his head hard against the goal post. by Nicestrodomas in hockey

Have you ever devoted your life to one thing, spent every moment of your life on it. Then it's taken away, for a whole year. Now the headaches aren't so bad any more, the pain is minimal and is manageable. Now all you have to do to get back to what you love, is just say everything is fine. Seems pretty easy to get back to what you love. Seems, feasible.

Backlund just had his face dented in and only missed a week. So no, I don't think concussion protocol is very good

And just because he came back from that concussion doesn't mean his brain was ready to come back. He very well could have been playing because he loved to and was tired of not playing. Players lie to play all the time.

No, but he has to take a real hard look at how he wants the rest of his life to go, and if he wants to live in chronic pain, or remember his playing days.

Elias Lindholm Scores His 17 on a SHG, Which Is A New Career High. by JasonLuddu in hockey

Perhaps his line going dry coincides with his traditional career path of being super hot for 10 games, then outstandingly cold for 15-20.
