I feel like the grim reaper posting all of the concussion updates. The players keep piling up.
Jeff Skinner and Joni Pitkanen are the new ones.
I don't see the problem, the NHL is fine

It seems like we could create a decent NHL team out of concussed players.

Recently I've started going out to a basketball court near my new apartment with rollerblades and just shooting a ball around. It's not the same though...
Yeah.. that sucksI'm in DC, so the rinks are kind of pain in the ass to get to without a car, and keeping smelly equipment in a small apartment just sucks all around.
No doubt. I'd love to be able to do that one day.Its even better being out on an outdoor rink really early in the morning
Michalek for the Sens is also out with a concussion.
Hip problems probablyVille Leino out "for weeks" with a lower body injury. Just as he seemed to find some success and linemates that clicked.
So Sabres back up to 7 injured players... Though Kaleta will probably be playing Friday.
TSN said:Making an appearance on WGN Radio in Chicago, Bolland occasionally referred to the Sedins as "sisters."
When asked if they would still be sisters if they became members of the Blackhawks, Bolland's answer was blunt.
"Well, they'll never become Hawks," he said. "I don't think we'd let them on our team. We'd be sure not to let them on our team. And, yeah, they probably still would be sisters. I think they might sleep in bunk beds. The older one has the bottom one, the younger one got the top."
While the morning show was very much tongue-in-cheek, Bolland, along with teammate Corey Crawford, didn't shy away from the opportunity to rip the Canucks.
"I hate all of them," Bolland said when asked if he hates everyone on the team or just a lot of them.
When asked what players do with their spare time when on the road, the Blackhawks forward said he tries to stay close to his hotel room when the team is in Vancouver.
"There's a lot of weirdos there," he said. "You don't want to be out there too long."
With all these top scorers going down, it's time to get Kessel protection.
Vancouver/Chicago - One of the best current rivalries in the NHL, it's too bad these teams will meet much less often starting next year. As a Canucks fan the only thing that would make me hate this team more is if they didn't have Toews.

The Sedins are true professionals and stand up individuals. They will shrug these comments off with a laugh. They know who they are. They are men. Men don't spout off like this. Boys do. Men don't use words to get under an opponents skin. Boys do. Men use actions. Actions speak much louder. Im sure Hawk management does NOT endorse the old adage of throwing rocks at the wasp nest.
I like this comment in that article:
It's actually kind of disgusting the hate the Sedins get. They are the nicest people out there. They've given more to charity than any other of the top players in the NHL.

bahahahaCanucks head coach Alain Vigneault responded to Bolland's comments following Wednesday's morning skate.
"Dave Bolland has an IQ the size of bird seed and a face only a mother can love."

Wow, you left out the best part of the article:
bahahaha
So now players on rival teams can't trash talk? Their comments were pretty funny. I mean I don't know if I'd call it "unprofessional" when your profession is hockey player. It's part of the fun of the game. Sedins should give an interview about how they'll make sure to give Bolland a few jabs in good fun at the all-sta... o wait nevermind.

Is this for real or just another hallucination? Serious question because I don't know how you quantify that. Some athletes don't want recognition when they make these kinds of donations, so where are you getting your information from? That player on Locomotiv who was quietly (the kids parents didn't even know where the money was coming from) donating money to a cancer patient in Russia comes to mind.
Difficult to confirm for sure. But I'd be surprised if many (any) NHLers have topped this: Canucks' Sedins donate $1.5m to hospital. Not to mention their other donations.Is this for real or just another hallucination? Serious question because I don't know how you quantify that.

Because it's extremely hard to hide a $1.5 million dollar charity gift.

By your logic then, Vigneault has undone all class considering his own (awesome) comments on Bolland.Verb phrase
29.
class up, Informal . to improve the quality, tone, or status of; add elegance, dignity, style, etc., to: The Sedins really class up this locker room.
I like trash talking as much as anybody, when it's by players that actually deserve to trash talk, but I also like the truly best players to go the classy route instead. Someone like GSP or Peyton/Eli Manning takes a lot before he trash talks and even then their trash talk is classy. Same with the Sedins.
The Sedins asked for it to remain quiet, but the hospital went to the media regardess. (probably more because they had a larger goal and thought the Sedins donation would encourage other people to do the same)brucewaynegretzky said:Huh?

Just be quiet. For once. Please. It's fucking hockey. Trash talk is part of the game, no matter what the source.

Suprisingly not as empty as I would have thought. The Canucks fans didn't travel there for sure. I also saw a Vancouver fan get pelted with food, so that was..yeah.
Looked a little less than 50% capacity.
If Vigneault is bitter, then this is Bolland:vigneault sounds so bitter![]()
