- Thread starter Kave_Man

So goood.
Also get bent Kuro! You'll take Hanifin and you'll like it if we do take him.
Eichel may be as good as McDavid, in his career he could even end up better, who knows.
Hanifin, sure, but Eichel will be a star dude, pls.
Sean Day hasn't been considered for #1 for a while
Big concerns about his hockey sense
Right now its Matthews/Chychrun/Puljujarvi

Did anyone see Jared Leto's Joker Yet? I dunno about it...
I don't understand. This is from August 2013?
The first tweet was.
The rest were from last night. Look at the time stamp on the last tweet from the Flyers.
Former enforcer wrote an article for the globe about health issues he's faced post-retirement: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/spor...uffering-has-only-just-begun/article24120626/
pretty brutal stuff

what's sadder than this kind of stories is that no one is doing fucking anything about it

The league needs to introduce match penalties for fighting. And mandatory 5 game suspensions for 1st time offenders on violent (ie, where there is a clear disregard for your opponent's safety) conduct regardless of whether or not an injury occurs.
You can't remove the head injury risks from contact sports like hockey, but it is not that hard to mitigate them.

This is just awful. The league should be ashamed.
+1
Fighting is stupid and unnecessary. I usually feel like I'm in the minority on this.
Oh, and maybe they should mandate how helmets are worn. You know securely fastened instead of the chin strap so loose that the helmets fly off.
Heh. I've spoken up many times on those two exact points, so I certainly agree.
I don't think we'll ever get rid of fighting in the game but it will slowly fade out.
The goon is almost dead and refs are being told to stop fights before they even begin if they can.
It's still be a lot easier just for them to come out and say no fighting at all but no way in hell that happens unless unfortunately someone dies right on the ice from it.
Which I know nobody wants to see nor hope happens.

Marlies 1st playoff game starting now... same time as Isles vs Caps 
I wanna watch both...
I always found the argument that fighting prevents cheap shots to be pretty dumb (and lacking evidence), but really shouldn't the way to handle that problem be to simply enforce stricter penalties for cheap shots? You'd think that'd be the obvious solution.
Best way to get rid of fighting in the NHL is to get rid of it in minor and junior leagues. It will eradicate that culture from the roots.

I just don't like the tattoos on his face, the other ones aren't winning any awards for being subtle either. I'd be interested in seeing a Batfleck/Joker movie with those two. I think Batman vs. Superman is primed to be awful.
This is good
Nylander is very effeminate
Wow I really am slow today. Brilliant series of tweets.

I don't know what to think of this, but my gut reaction is "nah"
Forza/Penis should be happy though. :S

It was a THEORY! A FUCKIN THEORY GODDAMN IT! FUCK!
Wait, I forgot the first round pick the Jets got from Buffalo is actually the Blues... so if The Wild close out that series the Jets get two top 20 picks! I had totally assumed the Blues were a WCF team and had written off that pick as a very late first rounder.
Uh, go Wild I guess.

Who is GMGM?
George McPhee
I forget the actual name but he was the last GM of the Caps.
I thought it was just whichever pick came later.
Weise for Nylander.
I wasn't sure so I looked it up but now I'm more confused. Do they still rank the division winners who lose in the first two rounds after the other teams that exit before the conf finals? If so then I guess it'll be the Blues no matter what? Unless the Islanders make the ECF?
Edit: forgot in the first post that it assumes the isles are out in first round too.
