Around the League - 2023/24

DoPS, NHL, and NHLPA don’t want it. No parties are really interested in fixing it or what it would take to fix it.

It never ceases to amaze me that the NHLPA isn't for player safety and in fact goes out of its way to protect the culprits.

Culprits pay the same dues

Let's just say that I wish the victim was allowed a voice in supplemental punishment cases.

Now THAT I could not agree more with. The PA worked way harder for Raffi Torres than any of the players he beheaded. And it wasn't until the 18th time or so that DOPS gave him the "you're done" suspension and everyone agreed it was time for him to hang them up.

Go get your cash, Willy. Best player on the Leafs in a contract year lmao they done f***ed up.

 

[S E P H]

Russo is an embarrassment and he's going full-on Minnesota Wild spokesman, but he isn't wrong here.

"Plays in Denver," gets automatically injured. I wonder if it's the lack of air?

 

[AllAboutAvs]

No problem there.............if you think your team is still playing before the cap-era.

 

[Balthazar]

Too many Connors in the West.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Too many Connors in the West.

Not enough Cales.

 

[henchman21]

Not enough Cales.

MacK took it from him

 

[Cypher]

Hopefully Mack can recruit Lindholm during the ASG

 

[McMetal]

Makar should coast in on the write-in voting. 2nd in D scoring, 100 point pace in January, plus the pedigree of being a Norris winner already.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

The all star game without the most exciting player in the world not called McDavid would be a travesty. Makar and MacKinnon should both be there.

 

[henchman21]

Makar will easily get in… this was just the one per team set

 

[Azrael89]

Yzerman signing a crap ton of random vets to borderline stupid contracts looking like it won't pan out? I'm shocked I tell you.

 

[The Merchant]

Oh f*** off

 

[Balthazar]

Oh f*** off

I'm now 99% convinced that the reason it didn't work here is because he got stapled to RyJo from day 1

 

[dahrougem2]

I hope Cale comes out and asks the fans not to vote him in.

Take those days off. Hell, tell Nate to feign an injury during the 3rd period of the last game pre-ASG. Don't send any Avs.

Either that or he suffers from Altitude sickness.

 

[dahrougem2]

Tatar played at a 27 point pace while here.

He's playing at a 51 point pace in Seattle.

Then again, he's playing on the top line now with Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle (though no PP time).

I imagine if he was stapled to MacKinnon's wing he would have been pacing the same amount of points as he is in Seattle.

Nobody can produce playing next to Ryan Johansen. Nobody.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I’m not a Jamal Mayers fan, but Jennifer Botterill once again out to lunch.



“What if that was your son”

Go lose to 16 year old boys some more. Women’s hockey lol

The f*** is this nonsense.

The f*** is this nonsense.

To give some context:

The Canadian National Women's team routinely tours Canada playing games against Midget AAA teams, which are comprised of 15-17 year old kids.

The games are no-contact, but the women routinely lose to these Midget AAA teams.

Sorry for opening it but...

Do they accept trans women in the PWHL?
