Bishop's starting in net tonight, gotta get hype that deadline trade I guess.
If Kessel remembers to shoot five-hole tonight we're fucked.

Why would they want Comaslowreck back when they could just hope someone picks up Kaberle on waivers or they can just buy him out.

Eh, that's fine. That one Sens fan can get that jersey and the rest of the Leafs fan in your barn tonight will have the rest.
Yea, I don't think it will be a huge impact to the Flames as they are right now without him. I'm a bit excited as its a new beginning for the Flames, lots of changes to come. I think 20 or so yea.Our team doesnt play any different without him, in fact weve scored more since his absence. Feels weird without him though. Really interested to see if he plays well, how many does he need for 30 this season? 20 or so?

That chinner #fullfacemasksplz #nhlpa
Can someone tell me why there is such resistance to full face masks? I played hockey for over ten years before busting my knee one too many times and if I had made it to the NHL lol), there is no way I would I have left my cage behind.
It's not just about keeping a pretty face for the ladies post-game, you're also doing a disservice to your team by not wearing a cage... that was a totally avoidable injury there and had Crosby worn a cage he wouldn't even have needed to left the ice.

Red Wings making space for their newly signed D-man.

Dunno, only reason I can think of is it will probably get rid of most high stick calls since there's no injury.
Clearly, but all the players joining the league now (and probably all those that have joined it for the past ten years) have played all their youth and college hockey with a mask. They're used to playing with one.
I think even if he got hit in the face with a puck, the result would be the same.
Sure, but doesn't mean they all enjoy wearing them competitively.

I don't think Philly should be trading away picks at this point.

Because they're not needed. If you go down that road, why shouldn't the players all wear cut-resistant collars for skate cuts and full chest/arm protection for errant pucks and sticks?
Less equipment is the answer IMO, not more. I wouldn't want to go into a corner knowing the guy lining me up has absolutely no fear of injury.
^ How is making players wear the same equipment as they do in NCAA hockey or in all respectable youth leagues worldwide equivalent to making them un-injurable tanks on skates?
I guess. I do wonder how much of it is due to peer pressure or perceived peer pressure though. When I first moved back to France, there was a Russian player at the local pro club who had lost an eye (to a puck or a stick, I forget) and wore a full cage. Most of his teammates didn't even wear visors. It always struck me as odd.
Unrelated: I can't remember when was the last time I saw a hockey game with so many offside calls, they need to redo their offensive entry drills :lol

Yes. I'm aware.
I'm praying it doesn't give them spiritual motivation for today's game.
Wtf. Iggy looks like a man. Sid looks like a 12 year old boy.
...that's the point.
Shut up! Shut uppp!!!!
You like em young?

Anybody else see Schenn bail the fuck out as soon as Chara's gloves came off? Self-preservation.
I'm not sure how that implies that, but sure.

Wait, someone actually said that? WAT
Maybe Eugene Melnyk can lend his forensics team to the Penguins to determine whether or not Jeremy Jacobs caused that puck to the face of Crosby..
Jeremy Jacobs is the source of everything evil, soo...
bwahahahahaha

What the fuck did they do to the TSN app? It's a monstrosity.
Crosby should have unleashed MAGNUM: http://youtu.be/gx9O6q0pDAU?t=1m
Woo!
Kaberle's on waivers? Hahahahahahahahahah eat shit you fat tub of lard.
The other prospect they got caused a turnover and set up the OT goal for the major upset over Minnesota yesterday, the future is bright after all!
