And this is what's wrong with letting fans vote for the starters on the all star game...

John Scott is 3rd in voting...after Ovie and P. Kane

Isn't there some kind of NHL rule that any participating player must walk upright on 2 feet?

NHL better step in and do something about this. If fans want to be idiots, then do it evenly and vote an enforcer in for each division.

I absolutely LOVE the 3v3 tourney idea this year, but good ole fan voting will come in and ruin another all star game.

EDIT: On second thought, **** it - If this is what it takes to further prove just how ridiculous fan voting is, then so be it.

Radko Gudas suspended 3 games for elbowing Mika Zibanejad.



Should have been 63 and then I wouldn't have to curse so much and get my blood pressure elevated launching colorful uses of my favorite cuss word at the tv on a shiftly basis during games...he's a caveman on skates.
That was him headhunting, typical of him.
 
I think Jonathan Bernier's confidence is just shattered. The guy is a talented Goalie.
I think he has a limitation - size. He has the perfect butterfly/blocking the shoots away technique but doesn't poses the size to support it. He is vulnerable to every floater from the point with little screen in front of him.
Was overrated on this board for quite some time...

Don't like fan voting , doesn't serve the purpose required, it's a popularity contest.
You want an honest vote? Get the players to vote, provided they cannot vote for a member of their team. They play the game, they know who should be there.
 
Good lord I just realized the Kings don't play Pitt till the 5th ? WTH NHL ?

Jeez.

Good thing they're discussing giving teams a 'bye week,' huh? ;)

I don't ever recall having as many 4-day+ breaks in an entire season as we've had so far, but I could be misremembering anecdotally.
 
Two games this weekend at Staples (Saturday and Sunday). Someone tell me the last time THAT happened.

It goes right along with there have already been many days that there hasn't been a game starting past 5PM. The scheduling this year seems quite crazy. Then having a 6 game road trip when we will still have the Grammy trip in Feb. which is 7 games.
 
Hayward topped himself. Thought that TB should be called for tripping Lindholm. He ignored the fact that Killorn was cross-checked into Lindholm and that was why Lindholm was upended.

Even when Ahlers pointed that out to him, he responded with "tough call for Anaheim." :laugh: What a piece of work. I try to give that guy the benefit of the doubt and he punts that for 15 yards.

His color commentary is so overbearing. He's a broadcaster who really loves the sound of his voice, constantly stepping over Ahlers.

And his constant whining is a perfect representation of their organization and fans. Hell, a Ducks fan on the main board was whining about how often the Kings face teams on the back end of a back-to-back.

The league knows this and there will be a time when the Ducks get the second game and a time when the Sharks get the second night.
It is just the last few games when the Kings have got the second night. It all evens out in the end.
