yeah, bummer for Dach. But i find it stupid when fans say things like "see, this is why Laf is not playing" or he should not have been there. Hindsight is 20-20. Guys get injured everywhere -- even not on the ice. It happens. But you can't stay hidden with bubble wrap all over you. Development means getting on the ice, practicing, playing games against top competition, etc. It's one thing if you are playing in some crap game/practice with goons trying to hurt you (obviously you avoid that scenario). otherwise, you get on the ice and play.

There always has and always will be the argument regarding to send or not to send young talent to the WJC's. Look at Kupari, if he doesn't get injured he was the odds on favorite to dominate on an uber talented Fin team last year with would have solidified allot of peoples opinion(s) of him heading into his would be first full AHL season. Instead a freak accident happens and it costs him and us a chance for global domination. I say send em. If they are going to get injured they are going to get injured doesn't matter what league they are playing in. Accidents happen. I mean sure there are arguments to be made for not sending players who have a history of getting injured (say Valardi or Turcotte) but then I know that the kids want to play so you could damage their self confidence by keeping them from doing so. Who knows how things will turn out, let em play. I couldn't agree with you more. The line I bolded sums it up perfectly.

Bad luck can happen anytime, anywhere. Laf could do his ACL in the first day of camp with the NYR. We just have to make the best decision for each players development and hope for the best.

Absolutely true.

I mean my marriage is proof enough of that.
 
Does anyone know the last expensive option to get NHL Network in firestick?

All the options so far seem pretty outrageous considering I don't care about the 70 other channels it is always bundled with.

I guess renting a private jet and buying tickets with luxury hotel stays for every game even though you can only attend a few of them? That would be the last expensive option imo.

OH! LEAST EXPENSIVE!

No, I haven't any idea about that. Now, if you want to steal it.........

They basically force you to steal it!

It's crazy to me to pay all that money and still have to watch all their advertisers.

NHL Network needs an exclusive streaming option, I'd pay.

it's honestly absurd how many people feel exactly the same way but they continue to get away with it

not sure they'll care til they have no subscribers left.. NHL needs to leverage that already

Will Ray Ferraro still call King Arthur 'kuh-LEE-eff' ? Or, did someone inform him how to say his name? I say 2 goals for Kaliyev tonight. Not easy, versus the Russians and Askarov.

nice breakout and dish by chromiak, nearly got the goal

seems better today so far
 
Chromiak is the trigger for everything it seems. Slovakia is good in the ozone but my god I've never seen so many basic hockey failures in their dzone. Button's analysis is right, they're going to be their own worst enemy.

Slafkovsky is gonna be ridiculous too.
