Lou reminds me of old man Robert Dunder when Michael just closes the door on him on The Office.

big come back win against the BJs. Makes hockey enjoyable for the 5 day break

 

[Black Tank]

I don't have room in my brain to care about an irrelevant team like the Isles.

They've actually moved lower than irrelevant and straight to pity. They've been bad for so long and are so Lamoriello-f***ed that I now only have pity for Islanders fans. Not irrelevance, certainly not sympathy or empathy but outright pity. The Islanders are pitiful and I feel pity for their fans.

 

[RangersFan1994]

So is Wahlstrom officially a bust? He was supposed to be a sniper but I forgot he existed.

Maybe Rangers fans wanted him. My pick for that pick at #9 was Joel Farabee for the Rangers.

I heard a couple broadcasts say it was Kris Knoblauchs first game as nhl coach. Does his game it two coaching the rangers a few years ago not count since he was a fill in?

Yeah those wins went on David Quinn's record.

Do you think last night's win was encouraging for the Oilers? Knoblauch looked like he aged 5 years in 2 days with Edmonton.

Adam Johnson: Manslaughter arrest over ice hockey player's death

A man is held in connection with the death of Nottingham Panthers player Adam Johnson.

Surprising news? Or expected? I've refused to watch the incident.

I know it's not strictly NHL news, but still.

Im surprised they arrested him but it’s definitely deserved.

 

[Nickmo82]

Im surprised they arrested him but it’s definitely deserved.

Because of how reckless they were? Or was there visible intent?

It looked intentional. I dont think he was trying to kill him but he was definitely trying to impede him with the kick. Dirty stuff.

 

[Ail]

Lmao lots of people were defending that as an accident, hope he gets murder charges and rots in prison.

Pretty wild. Cant get inside this guy Petgrave's head but every time I see that video it looks intentional. The fact that theyve been investigating it for 2 weeks and still brought him in would seem to hint at something, but what do I know.

This guy apparently had a history of dirty stuff too no?

Yes including a similar leg sweep/kick and using his stick as a weapon.

what a piece of trash

 

[RangerLifer]

any chance the islanders trade their first for a rental?

But a lot of their fans insist that many UFA's want to play there. They're delusional.

Maybe Rangers fans wanted him. My pick for that pick at #9 was Joel Farabee for the Rangers.

ANYBODY but who we picked, who I can't exactly remember but know it wasn't good.
(I just looked it up. Krapsoft.)

NHL mulls rule changes, eyes more offense in OT

The NHL is considering rule changes to create more offense in overtime games.

www.espn.com

The GMs discussed a variety of concepts to juice that excitement, including restricting a team from skating back into its own zone, almost creating a "half court" version of 3-on-3 overtime. There also has been talk about putting a timer on players to ensure that they clear their defensive zone quickly instead of "regrouping" there.

Nope. Hate this.

Eliminate the shoot out. Play 3 v 3 until there's a winner. No silly half court play clock shit to make it more like basketball that's unwatchable outside of the last 2 minutes of a game.

I do not like this.

 

[will1066]

Don't allow leaving the zone to regroup once it's been gained. No shot clock; don't want our sport to become basketball.

They played the Isles who totally stink right now.

 

[LOFIN]

How about a good old fashioned tie?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I remember I wanted the Rangers to draft him but they took Lias Andersson I think.

I believe there was some controversy in that daft. Rangers picked Kravtsov and Wahlstom thought he was going to be picked by the Rangers.
During his post pick interview he said he would make the Rangers sorry they didn’t take him.
Just the thing a isle fan wants to hear ; That their pick wanted to play for the Rangers.
