Any penalty makes me worry about adding in more stoppages in play. I want less whistles. I also worry about any change where an errant pass could somehow lead to a penalty. Expanding the offensive zone back to the red line after entry was my initial thought until I saw the part about wanting to lessen the circling back stuff. I feel like it would happen just as much with that expanded zone. We're right back to preventing the offensive team from cycling back even further, requiring a whistle or penalty. I think they're stuck with what they have right now. And is it really all that bad? The five minutes are up in the blink of an eye. I saw this after posting. Yep, my thoughts exactly. Anything they do is just going to snowball into some new problem bigger than the last.

I how he turns back and whines about a flop immediately after spearing the one guy in the groin.

What change would they make to prevent this type of cycling though? Anything I can think of is just going to make it more clunky and will lead to unnecessary whistles.

I wish this new Napoleon movie was a Bill and Ted spinoff.

I hope Quinn has grown as much as a player as Peterka has. Just imagine two second year guys playing like this. Man that injury sucks.

Does a team care all that much when a 3rd pair d-man requests a trade? I mean, of course they do, but it’s not exactly the type of player where a trade request sends shockwaves through the league.

When I first moved here to NC, I was walking through a mall and a memorabilia store had a framed picture of St Louis Gretzky hanging front and center of their store. It wasn’t signed or anything, just a framed picture. What a strange thing to see prominently on display in 2014.

A lot can change in 8 years. I don’t know how much weight the thoughts of 18 year old McDavid have at this point.

People like to mention Gretzky. Here’s Wayne on an expiring contract (granted he was 35): 1996-Feb-27 Traded from Los Angeles Kings to St. Louis Blues for Patrice Tardif, Craig Johnson, Roman Vopat, round 5 pick in the 1996 draft (Peter Hogan) and round 1 pick in the 1997 draft (Matt Zultek)

But I liked it when I was younger.

Bryson is staying healthy.

It has to start with either Tage or Dahlin. Anything short of that is living in Wookiee town. Another major part of why it would be very different than anything mentioned in here is that we are living in a cap world with contract limits. You can’t just throw 18 bodies at Edmonton and only get McDavid in return.

Yeah, not random, but a definite frankenstein line.

That has to be the most randomly assembled line this team has thrown out there in a while.

Voter fraud here in NC … they let a sabre fan vote

I mean, I guess it's a step up from the other brief tangent right before it.

If they’re going to lose, get those losses into the third column in the standings. That’s going to get them into the playoffs.

All this talk of thread title protocol and yet it didn’t start with an “automated message”.

Is there such a thing as a top pair when Dahlin will get double shifted during the game and play with just about everyone?

This may be why they were messing around with Clifton/Dahlin in preseason. Less of Samuelsson might actually get you more of Samuelsson.

I only had a chance to watch the highlights of each goal. Wow, that’s a really bad look for Nylander on the ENG.

Back to back nights of nhl network? Lame.

I like how I didn’t see who started the thread, but then immediately knew once I read the options.

That's the part of the post you decided to question? I was chasing a toddler around and stopping him from destroying everything. I think that answers the second question.
