NHL January 2017 |OT| May 2016's reign of terror end with the Wild's sacrificial loss
- Thread starter Quick
- Start date
Been meaning to watch Black Mirror, especially since seeing the recent thread about one of its episodes (San Junipero). If I do, I'll probably start at the beginning.
Also I hope nothing is damaged from that fight. I'd imagine it'd be awkward bringing it up should you end up doing an inspection or something.
But disturbed or sick is pretty much the same feeling when you hear parents fight. Some truly bad things are said that you can't unhear, not even bringing up violence.

No third jerseys next season to make the change to Adidas jerseys easier. Seems like this is really going to be like the switch to Reebok Edge jerseys from 10 years ago.

oh no, now i'm a NeoGAF alt-righter
well while we're at it... might as well just admit everything : I once laughed at a tumblrinaction reddit meme
You filthy French Canadian seperatist.
:notsubban:
It's been announced that the 2nd goal Adam Cledening scored in the Columbus game on Saturday has now been credited to Michael Grabner, giving him a hat trick for the game and 19 for the season.

I don't like "rough" hockey, I like physical hockey. I'll agree with you to a certain extent. As long as hockey is a contact sport, there will be hits that are dangerous. I hate seeing players knocked out, and have my rants before, but I like seeing clean physical play because, yeah, it's a part of hockey.
It's not football where you build an offensive line to protect your star player, every hockey player is out on the ice as part of the action, vulnerable.
My concern on the play with Laine was the brawl that ensued after, just drives me crazy to see a brawl ensue after what every hockey player would say is a clean hit. What is the purpose of this brawl? Payback for a clean play? By that logic you'd think a fight would break out after every goal. You scored?!? Fuck you, let's fight! It's nonsense, as is fighting in hockey which I've spoken about before, so eh.
Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota were tackled and their season ended because of injuries, Titans playoff hopes dashed and Super Bowl hopes for the Raiders finished. Did fights and brawls break out? No, because it was a part of the game to tackle the qb.
Bah.
Here's the current list of jerseys for this season.
My guesses:
Teams with jerseys over 5 years old are probably more likely to get new designs, maybe even a complete overhaul (new logo, jersey)
Avs and Sens are prime candidates for a complete overhaul.
Wouldn't surprise me if the Flames get a jersey redesign. Their jerseys are as old as the Avs and Sens. Didn't mention the Canucks because their jerseys really stand the test of time, but I wouldn't be surprised if they jump on new jerseys.
I can see the Wings, Yotes, and Sabres keeping their current design with a minor change. Wings and Yotes either get their front crest shrunk a little or moved down to allow the captaincy letters to be placed on the left again, and the Sabres get those front numbers removed.
Hard to say with the Ducks, Kings, Sharks, Wild, Caps, Jets, and BJs. I don't see any of them getting a new logo/complete design overhaul though.

It's going to really suck when we have to sweep Boudreau in the Conference Finals this year. Feel bad for the guy, but business is business. I hope he finds peace in another life.
McIlhenney on waivers soon because the "bad" goal he let in was a deflection off of Grabner and because Seth Jones screwed the pooch. Tough times for Mac. Not that I think anyone picks him up.
Hopefully Anton Forsberg shows more stuff than he did last season. His short NHL stint was a gong show.

How has Condon been?
The workload is getting to him. We need an actual backup for him to relief him.
lool eat shit corsi!
Reminds me of Carlyle-era Leafs :'(
Good. Most 3rds are awful. Im glad I get to go a whole season without seeing those shitty Islanders 3rds.
Aww, but our third jerseys are pretty great. How hard could it possibly be to transition them? It's not like the Rangers are going to be making any changes to their jersey design.
NYR always seemed to wear their thirds at home against Montreal, they contrasted really well with Montreal's whites, too bad.

One of these mornings I'm going to wake up to Duchene being gone and it's probably going to be a bad morning. The upcoming trades really are going to signify whether or not Sakic is up for this job though, so there's that. Not that I think if he fucks up he'll actually be replaced.

Oilers putting their so called backup on waivers?
I actually love the black Isles jersey. Pls don't hate me.
Guessing it's purely from a production standpoint, having to supply probably 100x jerseys to each team.
But the Rangers alts are rill gud.

Send us back Hatrick Puempel.
New York is doing some crazy shit with these marginal NHLers like Grabner and Puempel. Wouldn't surprise me if Babby gets 40 goals with them.

so I'm assuming when the NHL made the switch to Reebok (from CCM?) before there was the same thing with reduced jersey counts? Hopefully they come back, alternates are always cool.
It wasn't just a change in branding. Reebok was already on the jerseys, but it was still using the old CCM template.
The sweeping change was done because Reebok switched templates to the then-new Edge jerseys.
At the time, they reduced every team to just home/away because all 30 teams needed new jerseys. At first I figured they'd just change the Reebok branding to Adidas (with some modifications), but it seems Adidas is implementing their own jersey templates too.

Oooh ok that makes sense then. It's the new manufacturing process on top of switching suppliers. I would have assumed whatever they had done for the WCOH would have been the same for the eventual NHL jerseys template/pattern/material-wise, but I guess not if they are doing this...
I think the World Cup jerseys are probably just a few of the many templates they offer + more templates as the league moves forward with Adidas.
If you look at the first season with the Edge jerseys, a whole bunch of teams were using the same template. Send and Pens were the easiest to spot this.

I remember reading a blog or post somewhere and the dude mentioned in passing that Nestrasil was his favourite player.
Nestrasil!
It always strikes me as a little weird when fans take to marginal or really average NHLers, those bottom 6 guys that are totally fungible.
Like how one of the dudes who used to write for PPP (and maybe still does) always mentioned how Kulemin was his favourite player.
Kulemin!

Ryan has 5 more years with a $7.25M cap hit. That would be a hard sell to a trade partner.
This is the same guy that scored 30 goals in 4 straight seasons with the Ducks, including 31 goals in 64 games as a 22 year old. And he only missed 17 games in 3 seasons with the Senators so I'm not sure how much you can attribute to injuries (though it might be something chronic).

Yes but it doesn't take into account how many time this guy tries to play through his injuries, his hand injury earlier this year, he should have been gone for 2-3 weeks, and its clear its still affecting him. And it seems like every year hes hurting his hand.

Granberg cleared and got shipped to Milwaukee.
Yay for not having to see his sorry ass anymore. At least until the next Dman goes down, which will probably happen within the next couple of games if the current trend holds up.

Ouch
I was just about to hate you but you asked nicely so I guess I wont.
Bracco to Windsor, will get to play with Sergachev.
Byron would be second in goals on the Canucks, third in points
