McCarron did end up getting invited the the preliminary US WJ camp. Great to see, his play has been fantastic this year, he deserved it.

 

[Curufinwe]

After Hank blowing it last night, I really wish we had a game sooner than Saturday. Could use a palate cleanser. Only two games between now and December 13 (then we have back-to-backs on the 13th and 14th in Western Canada because why not?).

And you have to wait till the end of February to play/beat us again.

Detroit forgot to pay the electricity bill.

Komarov out, Seguin on fire. Leafs are gonna get slammed tonight.

Hope he's not in too much pain

Just like Alfie they will get bounced early and then retire next season. Taint his career and legacy.

He won't be on the roster come playoffs. This is a showcase contract.

SoCal-NHL-Gaf rain! The only thing that sucks is I have to drive to campus now.

 

[Coldnoodle]

So Howe had a major stroke, followed by a minor stroke and now had another major one yesterday.

Yeah this is only going to end one way

Hockey gods were angered with a Blue Jackets win over a Panthers team without Luongo. Mark Letestu's 2-4 week groin injury has now morphed into surgery and an additional six weeks of recovery has been tacked onto that. Centers have just been eviscerated this year.

Concerning trend. Letestu is at least the eighth #CBJ player in the year and a half to require abdominal surgery.

What in the freaky freak is going on with their strength and conditioning?!

Hold up

Voynov's practicing with the Kings?

Isn't he still suspended?

Are the BJs allowed to just sit out the rest of the season? It's been ridiculously brutal over there. Genuinely feel bad for them. To say they've had terrible luck would be putting it mildly.

 

[Fata1moose]

Now Brodeur is playing for a second city that smells like ass.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Hold up

Maybe the Kings know something the media doesn't?

If that was the case they wouldn't have suspended him at all.

SoCal-NHL-Gaf rain! The only thing that sucks is I have to drive to campus now.

I'm flying to Pittsburgh in a half hour for a funeral which takes place tomorrow, but the way the flights work out I have to stay until Saturday. It's supposed to be in the 30s and raining the whole time.

Pray for me, California-Age.

The worst of it is Horton who is living every day trying to hold off career-ending back surgery and hoping for a damn miracle. He'd still be at his athletic peak if it weren't for his back.

How is your team still alive?.. so many injuries...

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I don't think the Oilers did poorly with their #1 picks: you pick the best available rather than fulfilling a positional need. That said, you need to leverage that high pick to acquire assets that would benefit the team down the road. They should've traded down for a roster player or prospect.

Even signing someone like Gomez could've helped: a veteran bottom-six centre on a team weak in that position. But no, they'll continue to ruin their first rounders and make marginal moves like firing their goaltending coach.

 

[MetatronM]

So the Rangers Subscriber Player Forum is on Thursday, and they just sent out the lineup of players that'll be there. One of them has the mumps, and the other has some mystery dread disease. So I'm guessing the roster of players attending is going to change.

Damn bro don't get the sniffles.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

lol Kings what are you doing

Rich Hammond
Yeah the Kings definitely did not get permission for this Voynov stuff. They’re trying to claim he could skate because it was optional.

Rich Hammond
If this was an optional skate, it was highly coincidental that every single Kings player was on the ice.

 

[Smiley90]

lol Kings what are you doing

"I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that"

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Pickard sent down. Roy is seriously dumb as fuck.

 

[Cat Party]

Why would the Kings even attempt to get away with this?

 

[User 479360]

My mind's been so focused on a family member's health (which we found out is good! No cancer!) that I forgot the Leafs played tonight. I thought they played tomorrow night.

 

[Acid08]

lol Kings what are you doing

Even if it was optional, it still violates the terms of his suspension. What a trash organization.

 

[User 479360]

Sad to hear about Gordie Howe. Hopefully he'll pull through this awful month.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Berra would have to clear waivers, no? Unless a call-up plays exceptionally well and the backup can be traded (we saw this last year with Scrivens) this is usually the case when a starter is injured.

A callup is usually a starter in the minors as well, so keeping him up would reduce his playing time to spot starts and hurt the minor league team.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Woke up looked up and saw the rain. I don't have a working umbrella

That was me in the morning.

California winters are harsh

Whhaaaaaaaaat

edit: Oh, Varly is back and expected to start. When he gets hurt again sometime next year we just call Captain Pickard back up and should be good to go.

Except Varlamov's injury is something that can come back at any time, and in the middle of the game we're stuck with Berra's shenanigans if that happens. Berra is the one that needs game experience here for fuck sake.

When California goes in the ocean I won't miss any of you (well except maybe Heretic).

I thought Berra had started to play better?
