Looks like Weber finally scored on a Price.

As a resident Sir-Mix-alogist I conclude Red Beans and Rice did miss her.

Yeah it's not the most dangerous play imaginable, but he did break the other guy's leg.
Was that really his fault though? The kid went awkwardly into the boards, but wasn't pushed all that hard, and it's barely a penalty.
we're still grieving okay
Well played. :lol :lol :lol

I guess I don't mind leagues over-suspending someone instead of under-suspending them. If they think it's worthy of a suspension, then actually make the penalty worth something. The NHL needs to start doing more of the same.

Yes, it was. It was an unnecessary push and looked like the kid didn't have much balance anyhow. It's was dangerous, stupid, and unnecessary. You can argue whether it deserves 15 games but it was his fault and he was the sole reason the other kid got injured.
I just see this as another example of suspending the injury and not the intent, but I guess I shouldn't be complaining about a suspension being too long, especially if a kid was seriously injured.
I thought they were far enough away from the boards when the initial contact started, but I guess it didn't matter here.

Deep six for #6!
The Jets are too good, man. Too good at sucking. #7 is definitely within reach though
Its just that on that play I see the push being more incidental. I think Ho-Sang is going for the puck and closed in so close to the other player that the push is more to move off him and not for throwing a hit. I still think it warrants a serious suspension but when compared to the most recent suspension which was a deliberate act in the Stolarz swing I dont think it deserves a significantly harsher punishment. Ten games just seems like a more reasonable amount and in this situation if there is no injury the suspension is significantly less.
There is too much emphasis placed on injury for suspensions when in most cases injury is the result of chance and not the act as the act occurs much more than the injury. I am all for the CHL giving out very heft suspensions. They have been progressing well in ensuring player safety which should be the most important issue when dealing with teenagers.

No clear cut top #1. Top 3 are really interchangable.
Was just going to post that. Fucking Carlyle.

Current CSS ranking has Nicholas Ritchie at #7. Left wing, 6'2", 226. Possible power forward.
With Markstrom starting the Canucks could lose their last three.

Is this supposed to be Randy showing that he's willing to change? lol, thanks guy.
McKenzie opined yesterday that Nonis' decision on Carlyle is his one and only get-out-of-jail card, even if he decides not to make a change. Which is why I think he fires Carlyle sometime between now and June. No way he keeps Carlyle when someone like de Boer, or maybe even Bylsma, becomes available.
What pic is this?

Hello friends.
Now that the Sens have been eliminated, I think our off-season has unofficially started
Can't wait. Time to take out the garbage. I hope they're not changing the coach.
It all depends on how much Kulemin asks for.
I'd much rather have him around then Clarkson though thats for sure.
Depends on the money, but I can see them going with younger guys from the Marlies as opposed to paying close to $4M for Kulemin.
Kulemin and Bolland are UFAs, nobody is going to trade for them.
We can't afford $4m for a third line winger, either.
It was a bad "Kulemin and Bolland are UFAs, nobody is going to tr-- ew, nobody wants Clarkson" joke.
Kulemin is sort of a 2-3 type of guy. He can play 2nd line at times when he's on his game but is better suited for a 3rd line role. He was making just shy of $3M this year, so maybe he signs for $3.5
Edit: he'll probably sign in Pittsburgh, him and Malkin are good buddies and played together in the KHL.
I hate Clarkson and what he was this year, but I'll wait to see if a new coach/new system gets him some more playing time/PP time and actually gets something out of him next year. Pretty much everything about Carlyle's coaching and tactics makes no sense.
