they did a million time to try and justify Chara's attempted murders
Oh, right. How could I forget the, "He didn't know it was Pacioretty" and "He didn't mean to push him into the stanchion". I guess I blocked that stupidity from my mind.
The hits keep coming, fuck. By mid-November they should have Bob, Jenner, and Dubinsky(maybe?) back so yeah. And who knows if they'll make some kind of move since Horton's entire career is in question at this point.
I feel like we're mostly saying the same basic things, just in different ways. My saying that he still, at 23, sometimes doesn't know when and where to use his strength properly doesn't excuse him from making a poor decision on the ice. This is something that does come up at times with Kreider. It comes up enough that it's something he has actively been speaking with officials about (partially because I think he is developing a reputation among officials, whether it's deserved or not, that they should be keeping an eye on him) and trying to work on with the team in order to better utilize his physical attributes, particularly on the forecheck, while reducing risk.
Moore is automatically suspended pending a hearing due to it being a match penalty. Due to now being tagged as a repeat offender, I can't see him getting any less than 4 games. It would be thoroughly deserved if they gave him even more.
I'm much more annoyed by Moore's hit than I am with Kreider's. Seems the league agrees.

Half a period. He doesn't know his own strength. Completely terrible call. Haula was seen alive in the locker room after the game! So clearly there was no intent to injure.

It's going to be really fun playing as good team again, I'm sure the Sharks won't destroy us at all.
I don't understand why Voynov counts against the Kings cap. He shouldn't.
You're punishing a team for something they can't control.

The salary cap and all of these problems that come with it suck balls

Hopefully they'll all be too sore from gooning it up against the Ducks to goon it up against us.

I might go to the game tonight, so maybe I'll be disappointed in person.

I doubt he'd get fired after today's game even if we lost. For me, it depends if the Leafs management think they're going to contend or tank. If they're going to tank, why bother getting another coach at this point? Carlyle seems to be doing a fine enough job steering the tank
Then again....

We sure have been having a lot of time in between games for some reason, still don't even play until tomorrow. I also want to leave work so I can play some Sunset Overdrive. 
On the phone would have been "fine" if they were interested in maintaining the status quo. "Fine" in this case meaning "probably not enough but eh it's not like they're ever come down hard on headshots anyway."
In person is the right call if they're actually genuinely trying to eliminate those hits from the game. Moore's hit was about as textbook an example of what they say they're trying to get rid of as it gets.

Good god, I wish they would ban Toronto/Colorado proposals on HF boards.

I'd even take Dan Cleary at this point...
Serious answer is either Spott or Horachek. They'd be interim though and would very likely not become permanent at the end of the day unless they REALLY turned this ship around.
If the players have already given up on playing for Carlyle, they did so with Spott and Horacheck supposedly already listening to them anyways. I'm not sure what else they can do at this point, but I hope I'm wrong, Spott takes it, and we go on a tear.
...
Not with this roster though...
You could always, you know not read Hfboard proposals because they're all really fucking dumb.

I like the entertainment value of the proposals for the most part.
This coach is fucking terrible.
We need more speed and execution in the lineup.
Proceeds to scratch Hoffman and keep Condra, Smith n Neil in.
Hoffman, the guy that scored the game winner against BJs last week and the nasty assist on Legwands goal.
Let's scratch him though.

Thank you Pronger.

Not necessarily. That wasn't the case in Philadelphia last year.
I'd say Horachek would be a more likely H/C candidate than Spott, simply because he's got more experience. Spott would be a real gamble.

Horachek most likely.
You risk losing or alienating the team even more if you just keep the coach when everyone knows he's gone.

Show Palace? Who parties there? They don't even serve liquor at Show Palace because of zoning laws.
I mean...not that I...would know. Or anything. I heard from a friend, you see.

Look over there, Chris Kreider is trying to run over an old lady, the fiend!

Eric Staal will play tonight, which means Carolina will probably win.

I didn't realise that some Fan 590 guys are calling this as Carlyle's last game.
edit: Me too, zroid. I went on a hiatus after Cap 2010 and only broke it for GotG. Since August though I've watched the Avengers (not that good), Wolverine (strangely good?) the Amazing Spiderman (wat).

Nah we definitely need a 5 year plan for marvel movies
Wolverine and Spiderman are not Marvel movies
I would watch the Winter Solider, its GotG tier awesome.

I still watch most of them, and I really did think Winter Soldier and GotG were quite good. But I remember being so incredibly excited for these movies and I'm just not anymore.
My thought as well. I enjoy them for the most part really, but it's now this constant onslaught of releases.
