You're a star player and every team wants their star players on the ice.

Well you gotta do game day thread management too, if one side is dishing too much to handle gotta even it all out ya know.. I mean maybe fl fans wouldn't show up if we didn't right?

Why is the Florida Panthers scouting sheet just a dark tetrad test?

It's interesting to hear former NBA players talk about officiating, especially involving Tim Donaghey. They just say it. Donaghey will say it for that matter.

I only feel repeatedly compelled to respond to the idiocy during the playoffs, perhaps it’s having to deal with the same lot for a week+.

If Duclair took a shot to the head and was bleeding out I wouldn’t care That’s how much I hate him now. He’s dirty. Q is classless.

And this you have his former players kissing his current teams ass with idiotic takes like this

I am curious on whether the DPS looks at the hit on Sergachev. Looking at it repeatedly, it looked like a good hit as far as contact goes. I think it would have been a non-issue if it happened against the boards or in open ice, even if Sergachev gets hurt as a result. It wasn’t necessary given the score, but I guess that’s hockey, a losing team looking to “send a message” that they couldn’t by the score.

But nowdays they say that it is the player’s responsibility to back off or avoid a hit if the other player is in a vulnerable position. I could see the DPS saying that the distance from the boards made him vulnerable and so he shouldn’t have completely followed through on the hit. They do consider things like that the game was out of reach as well as injury.

‘I’m not saying it necessarily should result in a ruling, just that it will be interesting to see if they have a hearing. It’s so inconsistent, so who knows?

I want to say "sorry" to the mods for my last post.
But I cannot tolerate the people who wants to come to another fanbase section with the intent to flame and to trash talk.
Hockey means respect, imo and it's not a positive sign if a team, a player o a "fanbase" does not show it.
Sorry again, but I had to answer to that post, I think.
Have a good day.

 

[BoltSTH]

Games like this is why I hate the instigator rule. If you do this to star players when the game is decided, you deserve to have the s**** beat out of you.

They're just following the example of their garbage team. They don't understand the meaning of respect since there's nothing respectable about them.

All good! Just report the trolls, we’ll take care of it.

Joe Smith from The Athletic says:

Though coach Jon Cooper didn’t have an update postgame on either player, early indications are that neither injury is serious.

The good news for the Lightning is that Kucherov’s injury isn’t considered serious, according to a source. It’s hard to know the severity of Sergachev’s injury, though he did skate off on his own power after hitting his head against the boards when Hornqvist hit him shoulder-to-shoulder. From what I’m hearing, Sergachev is trending in the right direction. Whether either Kucherov or Sergachev is ready to play by Game 5 remains to be seen.

After the Boston series, last year, I went on their section to "shake virtually their hands" and to congratulate with them.
And so did I with Dallas, especially on Facebook, after game 6.
And you all know that Boston is not our fav franchise... But my parents and hockey taught me what "respect" means.
What I am seeing during these series both here and on Twitter is just disgusting.
It's not hockey and it's not sport. It's something barbarian.

I was cheering CBJ when they beat us. I was happy as fcuk when WSH won Stanley Cup,and was cheering for them too. After 2 games I was thinking that if FLO beats us I will be cheering them. But after last game,no I wont. Its so unrealistic to dislike someone else in league,when league has Wilson and Marchand,but FLorida made it happen

 

[Felonious Python]

The Lightning should maybe try to convince the league to make them the international face of the league (Russia for example given we have Kuch and Vasi) since they want to expand the brand overseas.

What's the difference for someone in Europe between NY and TB? I don't feel any particular loyalty to cities in countries I've never been to.

Basically what the San Antonio Spurs did.

 

[Peacefool]

just love that

After looking at the replay I think you might be right.

Horny speared him; hopefully, not enough to cause internal damage but clearly, to me, in replay and AT the game, spearing

Me too I was happy when Washington won the Cup because I thought that a great champion like Ovechkin does not derserve to end his career without a Stanley Cup.
And I respected CBJ very much after that series...
The problem is that there're teams and fans that do not know how ice hockey works.
Relocation.

That is what I saw too. Watch it again. Did anyone else see that? All I have heard is the shoulder to shoulder hit

I was the game - on the opposite of the rink and thought at the time it was spearing. You can see the deliberation of Horny taking his stick and jabbing it - the angle of the video makes it look like shoulder/shoulder but Sergie is NOT grabbing his shoulder, he's grabbing his middle section. Horny just appears to have camo'd his actions;

As I look at the videos of the incident - I am MORE convinced it was spearing
