Seems like he’s being sarcastic, but you can clearly see Bergeron rake the entire butt end of his stick across Crosby’s face. The white tape on the end of Bergeron’s stick makes it a bit harder to see. But you can def. see it.
also, Krejci hits McCann in the head with his stick on the same faceoff.

That is scary. Best wishes to the Canucks organization to get through this.

funny enough, Marchand was the only one not doing something dirty on the line.

Fun fact: I remember, actually remember, seeing this for the first time and thinking what the f*** is wrong with this kid, we then ended up fighting two years later, not related.

Monahan's intensifying offensive woes a microcosm of Flames' struggles
This will be an interesting situation to watch.

I worry about who the heck gets the center dZS if Eichel and Monahan are 1C & 2C.
Eakin is getting way more dZS than he has throughout his career (61% this year and 51% career to date). And that has not worked well.
Uh-oh. O’Reilly might lose his love for the game again.

That's a consideration. However, I think you get the player and build around them. Eichel or Monahan could handle increase d-zone starts with wingers like Reinhart and someone they trade for, like a Jake DeBrusk.

Speaking of defensive zone centers, its still crazy to me that we didn't keep Larsson, especially if the plan was always holding skinner in the bottom 6.
In 336 minutes skinner has 5 points with Lazar. In 136 minutes he had 7 with Larsson. With Larsson they were also positive in terms of goals and xgoals.
Even if pk was a priority why couldn't we just have eichel, Staal, larry, Lazar down the middle, with girgs(sheahan), rieder, Lazar, okposo as the designated pkers?

Because Krueger wanted to help a guy from his hometown and decided to sign him for 2+ million for two years, f***!

Reinhart is another guy that has never been used in that type of role in the NHL.
It also comes down to the cost to acquire. But, I could see adding Monahan being a move that seems better in theory than it ends up being in practice.
If it is a reasonable trade and there aren't any better options out there, it would be worth the roll of the dice. But, my guess is the cost wouldn't be worth the risk to me.
