Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

Not sure how they can give Kane the charging penalty when he was clearly shoved in by McNabb but this is NHL reffing in the playoffs.

Apparently the refs couldn't review that play, but you're right if they could see the replay Kane was clearly pushed.

Yeah I get that but if they saw Kane they sure saw McNabb as well pushing him into Hill.

We need a guy like Kane to take the load off Tkachuk. Kane can fight, score, is gritty and comes clutch in the playoffs. We can’t expect Tkachuk to do that and carry a line at the same time.

Think EDM will try to put him back on LTIR for the full year next year or will the league step in? He'll only have 16 team approved trade list vs. his current NMC so he could be available.

Skinner is not a good goalie. Half the saves he makes he turtles up and flops onto his side or back just hoping the puck is somewhere underneath him. He then proceeds to search for the puck with his hands like he is digging in a sandbox, the play style is hilarious.

He is like one of those goats that gets paralyzed momentarily and faints.

Having the two best players in the league really covers up a lot of a team's weaknesses.

Exactly.

When you have one of those types of players it is important to sign them long term. Colorado decided it would be best to send their top 5 player to their division rival.

To each their own.

We arguably have that already with Greig.

Honestly I don't know how much more "toughness" you guys think this team need.

Guys are actually scared of Kane and he can score. Grieg is just a pest and doesn’t bring the offence Kane brings.

Greig is still developing, he can take a step up in offence.

What happened to Rantanen was a product of MacKinnon , Makar et al?

Nearly everyone thought he was a stud player before the trade.. He struggled going first to Carolina and then to Dallas but man I think he is showing everyone the player that he is and that Dallas was not crazy pulling the trigger and signing him to that big contract. Dallas has been an extremely well run organization. It looks like they knew something... again.

If Dallas does something I just assume it’s the right decision lol

Lol the Panthers owner got suspended from the league. What a donut.

You have to be a special type of stupid to make political statements as a sports team owner considering the recent American/Canadian political climate.

I expect most billionaire owners don't have the interests of the average schmuck in mind, but having basic media training should be a given.

 

[Senscore]

Guy seems to have some really boundary issues

 

[Icelevel]

Eckholm back for next round. Edmonton looking good.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Looks like Heiskanen will be back for game 4

Bad news for Winnipeg.

Who do you like between Edmonton and Dallas?

It makes me happy when billionaires do things like this. To him it probably doesn't matter, but if it were a die hard fan who attends games it would be a disaster.

I think having two of the best players (scoring) in the NHL does not cover up anything; it does aid the offense.

Interesting.

NHL suspends Florida Panthers co-owner Douglas Cifu over social media posts | TSN

A minority owner of the Florida Panthers, has been suspended indefinitely by the NHL over a social media exchange with a Toronto Maple Leafs fan in which he referred to Canada as the "51st state."

And he was reacting to a fan from Toronto. He must be under stress or heading into senile territory.

A lot more.

Give me some guys like Chara, Volchenkov, Neil, Carkner, McGrattan, Smith.

The refs seem to have a lot of trouble "seeing things"! For example, they apparently cannot see goaltenders slashing, spearing & punching forwards who are outside their crease!
