  1. Dahlin is a physical freak
  2. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
  3. Arctic Monkeys just released a new album and it's basically just a Bowie homage. I'm not complaining. It's good.
  4. I think they're doing it so the players have more rest and can play with more energy. I don't mind waiting between the games if it makes the games really good.
  5. How much do we think anyone even offers Kovy? A smattering of one year deals at $2-3mil?
  6. Yup. I think wawrow had more on twitter about it.
  7. Bills release Eric Wood per Wawrow
  8. I like how I was more excited about Patrick.
  9. I'm completely on board with eliminating the instigator rule. But I don't expect that to solve anything. All that would do is shift responsibility back to the designated fist takers and their brains. That's not a solution.
  10. I'm not going to nitpick the NHL rule book because lord knows the NHL doesn't know its ass from its head when it comes to writing rules that make any damn sense. Blind side hits are bad for the game, but the NHL doesn't want to specifically write them out. The referees have the tools to enforce it though. Hockey is certainly violent, but it should be violent within the realm of good sportsmanship. Blindside hits are not very sporting.
  11. A blind side hit is inherently an attempt to injure regardless of whether it's late or there is contact with the head. There's a rule for it already. The league is just full of dinosaurs like you guys who like watching good players get hurt.
  12. That's not the point though. Marchessault shouldn't have to be looking for Wilson. Wilson is a good skater with good reflexes and the skill to make good clean hits. He's more than capable of policing himself and not blind-siding a player. He just chose to do it anyway, because he's a scumbag. Those old cliches like "head on a swivel" and not "admiring passes" only go so far. They work just fine if the hits are on time and from clean angles. You get blown up on a clean hit for not paying attention? Fine. But at some point the players doing the illegal sh*t need to not be doing it.
  13. The thing with a blindside hit is that it doesn't matter whether the target was the head, or if it was late, or if someone was actually hurt. Lining up a guy for a blindside hit is essentially the same as pointing a gun at someone. A blindside hit is automatically loaded with intent to injure. There's no other reason for it. Wilson could have elected to simply skate hard at Marchessault to close the gap and put some pressure on him. And then he would have peeled off and reset, as it happens a hundred times a game. But he didn't make that choice. The moment he turned to go after Marchessault it was obvious that he was coming in to blow him up. He was already too far behind the play. But that didn't matter. He saw the red mist.
  14. Weezer did a cover of Africa by Toto because the internet asked nicely :lol:
  15. Moving closer and closer to being taken over by some right wing propaganda factory like Art Voice was.
  16. I'm not interested in Rinne.
  17. For sure.
  18. They're basically paying us with the number 3 pick to take his contract. I would even want them to retain some salary too.
  19. Right. I wasn't joking when I said they'd have to add Price.
  20. Screw VW. Except the Sportwagen and that new warranty they're offering is very enticing.
  21. I'm the wrong person to ask anyway. I hate everything.
  22. I would rather just do something like try to pry Gudlevskis away from the Islanders. Or sign Enroth.
