    "The National Hockey League announced today that it has suspended NHL Player Shane Pinto for 41 games for activities relating to sports wagering. The League’s investigation found no evidence that Pinto made any wagers on NHL games," the statement reads. "The NHL considers this matter closed, absent the emergence of new information, and will have no further comment."

    He gets 41 games for betting on other sports.

    Can someone explain to me how that's justified? Is it simply a case of him being involved in some kind of low-level mob-type bookie? If he were doing this on the OFFICIAL BETTING SITE OF THE OTTAWA SENATORS, would he be punished?

    There has got to be way more to this story.

    Apparently he was hurt the whole time he was with us last year so we didn't really get to see his full game...I have to say if this is what we get night in, night out, I kinda like it...I like it a lot...

    I really disliked Greenway by the end of last season and I thought the bit of news that came out after the season that he was battling injury was just some kind of management running cover for him situation--that's how negative I felt.

    Boy was I wrong. I really like his play on the ice this season and it makes me wonder what kind of difference he'd have made down the stretch last season if he were health.

    That will be a valid consideration. Do you remember the 10 game win streak with Eichel and Reinhart? This team has fooled us before so a large sample size is needed before you can proclaim something truly promising.

    Except the 10 game win streak was, itself, worrisome to anyone not caught up in the emotions. 9 of the 10 games were single goal differentials and 7 of the 10 were OT/SO. That's basically coinflip games.

    There was a return to the mean--and a hard one at that--which was to be expected. 11-3-1 in November was balanced by 2-12-2 in March (also a departure from the mean).

    No only one conditioning assignment is allowed. He will have the chance to play in up to six games  though in the next 14 days 

    Is this true even if a player is past the 9 game mark and has a second injury and returns from IR?

    I’m curious because I can’t find anything specific about it. I can’t find one about waiver exempt conditioning stints either.

    He was scratched for at least one Amerks game.  Not sure if it means anything as they have 8 legit AHL DMen. 

     

    Appert said he's scratching players based on rotations and matchups because he has the "good problem" of "too many quality players" and even went so far as to publicly thank the "veterans"--I assume Stillman and others--for understanding part of his job is getting younger players ice time and the need to share the load.

    At least based on what was said, Stillman wasn't scratched due to his effort, health, conditioning or play.

    So is there going to be a Ryan Johnson callup?

    Fun fact: Novikov has played better in the AHL and looked more like he belongs so far this season than Ryan Johnson has--despite the latter's better performance in the preseason.
