Around the NHL: HOCKEY’S BACK BABY

[Chainshot]

This is gonna be interesting to see what the DOPeS does here. They've given out two 4-gamers for hits that are IMO, not on this level.

IMO, this should be an easy 5-10 game suspension.


Which means Manga gets fined.

HNiC was talking about the similarity with what Benn did to Stone in last year's playoffs which was only 2 games. The idea is 4-to-1 so 8 games if Mangy Old Pony has no priors.

4-to-1? I thought it was always 2-to-1?

 

[DapperCam]

A peek at the teams I thought would be wild card contenders for the last 6 games. Sabres doing pretty well even with the Flyers games.

Sabres 4-2-0
Sens 1-5-0
Red Wings 2-3-1
Panthers 3-2-1
Lightning 3-1-2
Islanders 3-1-2
Pens 2-4-0

Not to mention the Leafs have also been pretty bad lately.

I only saw that. I wonder what occurred before to warrent thatresponse.

It should be 10+ I think they’ll give him 1-2.

So uh, the Sharks can’t go on with David Quinn behind the bench right?

Sharks have an 11 win season in their history.

Shoot, that’s not even the worst season for the Sabres in the last decade…

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Someone had their number retired last night. And I haven’t seen that particular jersey in a long time.

I would expect 2-4 games because the league seems to be trying to be “super serious” about suspensions to try and prevent future plays.

Because it’s the neck, maybe a couple games more.

Happy to see him getting his flowers

Only one player is still playing that I went to high school with. And he probably should retire soon (Jeff Carter). Although on the downside, two of them are now dead (Ray Emery and Josef Vasicek).

That 24 point year in the Sharks' second season is in jeopardy.

 

[Dubi Doo]

The Sharks have a -43 goal differential. The next worse team is at -14. Holy lord.

Damn that skate came close to his face.

[Chainshot]

That's John Doe 2 from the Beach complaint.

And the Hawks got Bedard...

 

[sabremike]

So we keep losing to the Flyers in the goatheads but I think I've found a solution:

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Nice seeing consistency out of DOPS giving Mangiapane the whopping 1 game suspension for the cross check to the back of the head

 

[MOGlLNY]

Certainly not discounting the report but how can a grown man be groomed?

 

[Ehran]

Certainly not discounting the report but how can a grown man be groomed?

is 18 "grown"? Especially someone desperately trying to build a career ?

 

[joshjull]

It’s about power dynamics.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Certainly not discounting the report but how can a grown man be groomed?

Some people are easily influenced and coerced into things. This is why cult leaders exist.

I only saw video once but I don't think I saw a crosscheck .. was more just pushing his head down .. it honestly didn't look all that violent to me. Could of just been because it being in slow motion ..idk
