Around the League Thread | November Rain

F..k buttman and blackouts

Sportsnet can be both baffling and frustrating.

Tonight, Montreal is hosting Calgary; and in TO, the Leafs and Bruins are renewing their bitter rivalry in the center of the hockey universe.

Meantime on the tube in the West Coast we have the Flyers and Hurricanes. At the same time, over at Sportsnet One, we have the 'World Poker Tour'. And on Sportsnet Two we have NHL weekly highlights.

$%$^#$ Sportsnet. We're like Rodney Dangerfield out here in B.C.

Kuzmenko just giving the puck away horribly. No wonder no one wants this player.

Holloway took a puck in his neck, finished shift and ended up getting stretchered from the bench. Scary.

And Broberg is out 4-6 weeks with a leg injury. Oilers curse.

A bit strange, he finished his shift for a good 30 more seconds.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Byram scored twice and is now worth 4 1sts.

I'm wondering if it's a problem with the blood flow. Maybe a collapsed artery?

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

This is what I get for responding and reading as I go, sheesh.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Scary stuff with Holloway, hope he’s okay. Sounds like he’s doing well based on the reports on Twitter.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I might have just concussed myself from facepalming so hard.

“You’ve taken some time off” is what we are calling being barred from being involved in hockey due to being complicit in the coverup of a sexual assault?

The hockey media is truly awful and nauseating.

Or anxiety... had to know. I hope he's doing ok.

 

[Diversification]

Yeah, looked like restricted blood or airflow as inflammation set in. Would explain playing on after getting hit and then getting stretchered off on the bench.

Just wanted to focus a little on this passage from recent Seravalli interview that seems to align with some rumblings from last year about Cronin maybe not being a very good coach.

 

[tantalum]

Holloway expects to play next game.

Sounds like the Vagus nerve was hit resulting and vasovagal episode (fainting).

Whoever typed that up is a very cool person.

He was Verbeek's fire hire. Rode out Eakins for the Bedard tank where they did finish last but dropped out of the top pick spot.
Figure PV keeps him for this season, but never know.

These rebuild teams, churn through coaches fast. Grier hired Quinn and fired him after 2 seasons. Now Cronin in year 2 is under the gun.

Slightly related to that, Broberg, 12 games in, 2G7A, 9 pts, and a comfortable +6.

Holloway, Broberg and McLeod--all former Oiler first rounders, who had to get out of Dodge to revive their NHL careers.

'Player Development' is just such a vital factor in a franchise's success these days.
