Around the NHL: 2024-25 Season, Are You Not Entertained?

By the way, Kaprizov played against Jets today, apparently the injury was not serious.

I really hope the Canucks can dominate the Bruins tonight, get that goal differential even worse. Cut their win streak down right at 2.

In a three-minute video posted to X, Bissonnette said the altercation took place inside and outside of Houston’s restaurant after he observed a group of guests cause issues with the restaurant manager. The 39-year-old Bissonnette said he is a regular diner at the establishment and attempted to intervene after a member of the group laid his hands on the manager.

“You could tell he was a little shocked and surprised and stunned,” said Bissonnette. “It’s a family restaurant. I don’t think there was anybody in there who could go maybe like help him out. I went over, I just grabbed the guy’s arm that was on him. I said, ‘Sir, if you continue to harass and assault the staff, we’re going to have problems.’

“And then they just started chucking, so it escalated extremely quickly.”

Bissonnette said he fought with seven people in total. Six of those men were arrested and are accused of assault and disorderly conduct, according to Fox 10 Phoenix.

Good on Biz.

Bruins drop another game. If the Sabres can keep banking wins here...

Honestly looking at that team - I do not see how they get out of their funk. This was probably their best defensive game this year and they still found a way to lose to a team that got less than 15 shots.

Their team has become slow, they lack forwards who can provide offence other than Pastrnak and Marchand, and their defence lacks any flair. Their powerplay is league worst, and even with the new coach bump they still have only scored 3 goals in his 3 games.

I think for them to even maintain in the Wildcard race they to have Swayman even out and Pastrnak produce as he has in the past two years - and both of those have started out poorly.

Love to see it.

Balls in our court tomorrow - let’s get a win and keep it rolling with 4. Hoping for a great crowd

You should probably check with Mats to make sure it isn't one of his over in our court.

(Too soon? )

Yeah, Vancouver will be in the midst of 3 in 4 on the road when they come in to Buffalo.

In the meantime, Minny... tough nut to crack.

It sucks the Leafs are winning. My psychopathic mind loves to read a couple of pages of their post-game threads after a couple of losses.

Good on Biz.

Yeah. Most people aren't going to have the balls to step up to a group of rowdy dudes, and for good reason- most of us aren't NHL enforcers who ate and gave punches for their career. My 160 lb ass probably would've been laid out in 10 seconds, though I am a scrappy bastard.

Boston played well enough that I think their playoff chances went up (according to the models) even though they lost.

They've been a bit better since the coaching change. There are too many vets on that squad to think they will simply fade. I won't declare them out until the day they put the little mark beside them in the standings stating they've been eliminated.
