Woooooo! Matthews!

Weak goal but I'll take it! U-S-A!

Matthews needs to bury that! Great hands though.

Caps fans over at RMNB seem pretty pissed off about our game on Monday, saying we were running Holty and Desi should have been kicked out for the hit on Williams. Also think Desi will lose in a fight tonight :doh: http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2015/12/28/michael-latta-fights-nicolas-deslauriers-tom-wilson-looks-angry-after-dangerous-hit-on-justin-williams/

He also gets more reputation calls against him than just about every other player. Not saying he hasn't made some dirty plays, but his reputation far supersedes his game.

Between some peoples opinions of E.Kane and some of the things said during the P.Kane ordeal, you can never be too sure.

I figured as much, but I thought it best to make sure before commenting on it one way or the other.

You aren't serious with this, right?

Banners in the rafters

It's kind of hard to describe. I guess the easiest way would be that it's a bunch of smaller forums hosted by a larger site. You can decide what forums (or subreddits) you want to subscribe to and their main stories will appear on your news feed.

A lot of it on Reddit, some of it on facebook. The people who followed the first case remember what a terrible job he did they first time and were quick to jump on him. Not that any of it means anything, but it's out there and easily seen.

Tim Graham seems to be coming under a lot of fire for releasing the story after the P. Kane debacle.

I'm almost positive the same level headed people who left their opinions in limbo during the Patrick Kane case will do the same this time. The sensationalist will be quick to jump on E. Kane just like they did before. Heaven forbid you wait until there is a trial or anything to formulate an opinion. And for the racism part, since it appears you immediately have him pegged as guilty with literally no evidence out there, well, where there's smoke there's fire. As Eleven said, you're just being a dick.

When searching for Pittsburgh Penguins arena atmosphere, this was the first link that came up-- http://www.pittsburghsportingnews.com/greiss-pens-arena-pretty-dead/28239 Searching for Detroit atmosphere, most things point to it being lousy and uninspiring, though I couldn't find any recent articles one way or the other. Columbus, Nashville and St. Louis all have great reviews for their arenas though both through fan-sites and in the press. Then again, the Cardinals have a great atmosphere at Busch so that don't surprise me. Columbus and Nashville both aren't traditional markets and go out of their way for the fan experience, which is highlighted when googling them. I'd rather not have the gimmicks personally, though I like the cannon in Columbus.

Shooting fish in a barrel by using Montreal, but I agree.

This was always my favorite non-hockey part of the game going as a kid. Then they replaced it with Sabretooth coming down from the rafters, which was designed for kids (assumption), and it bored the life out of me. I would definitely take the organ over watching that. If they want to do funny things on the jumbotron, do it like the Stars do. http://thehockeywriters.com/dallas-stars-jumbotron-10-greatest-hit/I think we could do without the viral memes, but they fans who are there for the entertainment would enjoy it (as they do in Dallas, it's often shown in highlight packages) and those who don't care don't have to be bothered by the nonsense. Soccer is often boring to people who don't understand the rules of the game or the nuances of play. Every time I hear the bolded, I think the same thing. That's not saying you don't understand hockey, just my thoughts on it though.

I don't think I could disagree more.

Woooooooo McGinn!

Little bit of a cheer for Eichel there

Hit on Nylander for those who haven't seen it https://streamable.com/0rku

DeBrincat might have to donate half of his first contract to Johnny Gaudreau, who had another hat trick tonight, if they both keep up their paces. It's good to see smaller guys succeeding in the NHL, though I don't think many more will be slipping to the fourth round. I might be talking out of my ass, but I can't think of a single of player who has had his draft stock rise so much from a guy who not only doesn't play on his team, but isn't even in the same league.

I had this same thought the other day after someone made a comment (sarcastically) about Seguin having a coach who stifles offensive talent. I don't think if Lindy were coaching we would have gotten Reinhart and Eichel, as I think we would have probably squeaked out a few extra points over the years, but say we did then I would have to agree WildCard. I think that he would have us in a better position after next season than DD though. That's probably do to my own bias rather than anything I've seen.

Out of curiosity, if Moulson is bought out when will his contract come off of the books?

Zack Greinke has said before that it's about who will pay him the most. Different sports/payrolls, but the honesty is refreshing. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/21767425/honest-greinke-who-admits-was-top-consideration-made-texas-offer-before-la-deal
