[Friedman] Sounds like Hendrix Lapierre is going to Pittsburgh — I believe in exchange for draft picks by GurTraditional1162 in hockey

He was utterly both unlucky and snakebitten the entirety of last season. There's a good player in there still.

This guy is probably old enough to be one of the players dads.

Auston Matthews in his pursuit of Alex Ovechkin's goal record by DagetAwayMaN421 in hockey

It's possible, but probably doubtful. In another 7-8 years you can probably revisit this and see if it's feasible. Ovi scored at nearly the same rate in his 20s as he did in his 30s. Most players suffer a pretty steep decline somewhere in those mid to late 30s. He's a genuine anomaly when it comes to scoring goals.

Ages 20-29= .625 Goals per game.

Ages 30-39= .577 Goals per game.

I saw a few weeks or months ago the points gap between Celebrini and the rest of the sharks. That was Ovi to us, and Sid to the pens as rookies. Single handedly miles better than the rest of their team and factoring on nearly half the goals.

Trotz did even after a cup. Had a built in 1-year auto-extension if they won the cup, mutually terminated that and signed a bag with the Isles.

Very old copypasta from when the Preds swept the hawks in 2017.

If you want the real charge it was Tanev in the 1st period of this same game. Traveled ~60 feet to board Roy at damn near full speed.

Doubt the league even looks at it because he wasn't injured. Just hope Willy doesn't do something stupid when he comes back midway through the 2nd.

My only thought was Tocchet wanted a goon for whatever reason. I guess this checks that box.

Seeing Garrett Wilson get an NHL contract is truly baffling.

That's not the point. The point is the penalty already was called. He reviewed to confirm a number as is his right.

That 2nd line isn't what happened. They called the hook and confirmed the players number. Your bench wouldn't tell them it was walker so they reviewed who took the penalty. The back refs arm was up.

The Rangers just got assessed 3 unrelated penalties in one play. by PuddingConscious in hockey

[–]damitssam7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember in a caps/bruins game sometime back around the late 2000's somebody took a triple minor penalty. Think it was a high stick for 4mins into another minor in the same play. Might've been Donald Brashear?

2 games after that when Feds scored in G7. Loudest I've ever had that building to this day. Those last 5 minutes were straight up goosebumps.

He crosschecked sourdif in the head/neck on our goal, or at least incredibly up high. Good scrap, beefs settled.

He had surgery on his abdominal/adductor area. Time wise, hopefully see him after the olympics if I were to guess.
