Exactly.

The 41 games, they want to send a STRONG message, but it seems like Pinto's silence is part of the deal, meaning the league DOES NOT want to have this conversation. No one in hockey is going to bring up the Gretzky-Tochett thing, but this sounds like it may have been similar.

If this guy has a problem, hopefully they get him some help. But this is going to pop up every so often and the league will have to continue to come down hard on the offenders. Gambling can be an addiction and this could have happened to any team.
See my above post.

More and more it seems like the issue is that Pinto let someone else use an online gambling account in his name and that was what the NHL wanted to nip in the bud.
 
That's their story and they are sticking to it.
I can't see the NHLPA rolling over on a 41 game suspension if it wasn't betting on the NHL and it was merely a high volume of legal bets. And it doesn't seem like the placing bets from within a team facility like we have seen in the NFL. I doubt Pinto would be happy things have been kept quiet if it was just that.

I think we are kind of aligned on all this. My only color to it is the specificity is probably not known, and there is a LOT of damage control here.
 
47 shots on goal to 38 shots on goal in a non-OT game? Defense optional here?

Who needs special tape

Just adding they do this every year to visit kids in the hospital.

This was a good goal after review … despite this being the best angle they showed on TV. Does Toronto have cameras the TV crew don’t get to see?



Also, is there a place to find all the HFBoard “html” codes for posting things (media/url etc). I don’t know why this is only showing a link and not a preview.

I know its way too early and ultimately meaningless but the difference between Eastern and Western conferences the last few years is wild. In the West we would currently be the top wildcard seed in the East we are the 3rd worst team in the conference.
 
Scoreboard homie has some wild shrooms, who the f*** thinks of this? Who gives it the green light?
Who gives it the green light? Anyone with a funny bone in their body I'd guess. The east tell is the crowd howling and cheering. I'd love someone with a fraction of this creativity to be running the Sabres' in-game entertainment.
