TrueBlueGED Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I honestly wonder if Marner and Nylander are going to ask for somewhere between Draisaitl and Eichel money. I'd think yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I honestly wonder if Marner and Nylander are going to ask for somewhere between Draisaitl and Eichel money. I'd think yes? If they put up Draisaitl and Eichel numbers, that will be a reasonable assumption. You've also got Wennberg and Ehlers contracts to consider too.

Thwomp! Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Surprised I didn't see this here already, but M. Foligno got rocked last night in a fight. Sounds like he could have some serious facial injuries. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/blackhawks-john-hayden-destroys-wild-player-with-vicious-haymaker-during-fight/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 But we need to keep fighting in the game so guys don't get hurt. I don't know why it never occurred to me before how much the fighting lobby sounds like the gun control lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's part of the race to the bottom between the NHL and the NFL - who can care about head injuries the least, both in the short term and the long term?

Eleven Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) But we need to keep fighting in the game so guys don't get hurt. I don't know why it never occurred to me before how much the fighting lobby sounds like the gun control lobby. It does seem like it's time to make fighting a ten or twenty minute penalty. Like most of us, I enjoyed a lot of good fights. Still do, I'll admit. But we know things now that we didn't know before. The league can only do that (extend the penalties) if it starts taking other stuff seriously, though. Like Lucic should have been thrown out of the game for his hit on Miller. Until that happens, the fights will remain. Edited October 14, 2017 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I don't need fighting in the game because most fights these days are staged or occur from a clean play. If fights were much more organic and just occurred because two guys are going at it and finally say.. enough.. let's throw down, then I am still good with it. But fighting just to fight is dumb and even more ignorant is the fight in response to a clean, hard check. That said... the NHL players can choose not to fight. Foligno did not have to fight. I know there's some belief of a "code" but if they don't care about their own well being who am I to get in the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is essentially my feeling on the matter, and mostly why I think the league would be better off just getting rid of it all together.

WildCard Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 @Schopptalk Last time the #Sabres took the ice with a winning record: 1/25/13. They went into the game 2-1. Lindy Ruff was coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 That worked out well for Steve Moore. :unsure: Not really the same thing and even if it were associated it is certainly NOT a common occurrence. You can call a guy chicken, scared, gutless... but if it's a clean hit, it's a clean hit. You shouldn't have to defend yourself from someone who wants to fight you. Now, if they target you and take some clean shots at you then so be it. Hey even Ross Rhea skated away the first time, right? No idea who or what you are referring to...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Word from Dreger is he expects Matthews eventual deal to come it at more than McDavid's. He said he thinks it'll be at $13/13.5 mil per season. It's 'The Great Satan' he'll get it and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Matthews is scary good at changing his shot angle and beating goalies... he did it to beat Crawford in OT the other night, and he just completely surprised Price tonight.
