isn't it the same people in the situation room? and there's only one kicking motion in soccer. That's actually what I was responding to.
Yes because all reviews for the entire league is done in the NHL War Room in Toronto. There aren't video review judges at every arena.

If you can manage to play a team that decides to dress no defenseman like today, i like your chances

Oh NHL.com. Why not make a pun about vans?
And clearly this confirms a Buffalo vs St Louis cup final!!

I think it's pretty clear. Whether or not it get called correctly (one I remember is Vancouver/LA in the playoffs a couple of years ago), a distinct kicking motion is a distinct kicking motion

Well, if the ref sees that in a hockey game and can't decide whether to waive off the goal then....

That would be awesome if someone kicked a puck in from the blue line though

What an end, hate that I missed the game. My wife updated me a bit. She thought Vanek looked slow in the beginning did he pick it up? Love seeing a 5 pt game for him. How did the young Russian do?
I thought Grigorenko looked good...but he had such limited ice time. Had one great no-look pass in front of the net that didn't amount to anything and drew a penalty on a different play. Decent game for him.

Dare I mutter, "Ruff" without being accused of whining?
5 games of limited ice time won't tell us shit about the kid. Glad to hear he was decent otherwise.

Fit in fine, but I thought at some point Ruff should have given him a look on one of the top two lines. Especially once they were up by two.
Playing with Hecht/Ott/Kaleta isn't going to be pushing him to see what his limits are. He ended up only playing about 11 minutes because he wasn't on special teams.
Yeah. We talking about hockey right?
Probably broken collar bone. And maybe even finished NHL season or even career.
Interesting enough that he missed several games during lockout in EBEL leauge due to 'shoulder injury'...

Yea this is what I'm worried about. But some may argue he would be able to elevate the players around him on any line if he's a star. This seems like a more rare opportunity for the franchise, I would hate to have it hampered by the conservatism and favoritism of Ruff.
Have to admit I love seeing Philly 0-2. Not because of anyone on GAF, but a personal acquaintance who annoys me about them.

It's only a million more per year than he was making. I think he's earned it.

Comaslowreck for Bishop and a 2nd lol
It's not that I don't like Loops, I just think he had one stellar year after years of mediocrity. Just worried this won't pay off.
It's already a controversy. I give them 5-10 games to sort their shit out, personally.
There were quite a few times he was the best player on that line/team last season. He uses his body really well and adds good size even though he is not a very big player. Plus he is a leader and excellent with the media. A presence that is needed and not easily replaced in the market.
His injury issues are over exaggerated. Blood infection is unrelated to hockey. Last year he was already injured and pushed to hard which caused the separated shoulder. If we weren't right in the hunt at that point he probably could of sat a couple games to recoup.
He wasnt up to speed last night but thats understandable. Other than the marlie players, komarov, kessel, and liles everyone else was slow. Kessel isnt at top speed but was still flying, generated both goals. Hard to judge nevertheless when it was such a poor habs performance.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Pull the starter partway through every game regardless of performance. Controversy avoided.

Holy Moses! Lupul's raise and extension... I guess it's ok given how well he played offensively last year, and we already did re-sign Grabovski to 5.5 per, so the bar was already set. There's also that, when Lupul has been healthy, he's been a pretty good forward. His one bad year was with Edmonton, which explains that.
But compared to the Edler deal - which I think is exactly what a player like that should earn, and even though I shouldn't make the comparison - it's feels like an overpayment.

10 games? I sure hope not, damage may have been done by then.
He's starting tonight.
I think it's the right move. Vigneault said all along that Luongo would start tonight. He's basically saying, "last night was an aberration. We're not going to let 1 bad game from Schneider change our plans." He's downplaying it. And he should; it was just 1 game.
The only people crying "OMG GOALIE CONTROVERSY" are the media. It'll take at least a week or two of Schneider shitting the bed to make it a true goalie controversy.

Eeeeh, maybe. His stats are very similar to Dennis Wideman's, and he only fetched $250,000 more on the open market.
Other than goals and assists the stats arent very similar. Edler is younger, bigger, and a better plus/minus.
Is he confirmed to be playing? I'm going to watch the game for a bit until the Pens game starts up.

Sigh.
I'm not saying that Edler isn't a good player - he is, and his upside is potentially greater than Wideman's. I'm saying that he's paid about what other 23/24 minute, 35-45 average point guys are paid.
