Why, he did us a favor getting that a-hole out of here. Or should I say that bad defensemanMight be worth recapping the story:
ADA yells "make a ****ing save"
ADA owns starting it
Geo had his helmet on and headbutted ADA. Gave him a cut. We know he was hit hard enough to get cut.
ADA whacks Geo on the goalie mask with his stick. We don't know how hard ADA whacks Geo here but we can assume they are pretty much face to face (headbutt distance). Players usually walk the tunnels with one hand on their stick like a walking stick or just at their side. So based on distance, one handed grip, it's probably a whack and not a chop.
Teammates break it up.
Headbutts and face punches should both be egregious. If you are comparing the two, you are just splitting hairs. Headbutting with your helmet on feels more egregious, like on par with hitting someone with an object. A whack to the helmet feels a lot less egregious. This isn't a McSorley chop. He's going to have enough room to generate the power equal to a slap on the head. It's with a stick and ADA has pro-athlete strength so I wouldn't down play his hit either but it's something I'd expect hockey players to experience all the time (unintentionally).
I'm not a very spiteful person but I hope Geo never wins a thing.

Call me naive. Pre-incident, ADA could have at least been traded. And while a big mouthed trouble maker, ADA seemed like the better teammate on the team. Geo was always by himself and not celebrating with the others. At least that's how I remember it.Why, he did us a favor getting that a-hole out of here. Or should I say that bad defenseman
One of these guys is still employed in the NHL.Call me naive. Pre-incident, ADA could have at least been traded. And while a big mouthed trouble maker, ADA seemed like the better teammate on the team. Geo was always by himself and not celebrating with the others. At least that's how I remember it.
You're using current day status and omitting all intervening information to make a point?One of these guys is still employed in the NHL.
I think DeAngelo is good enough skills wise to be employed in the NHL. The issue is that his specific skill set is not good enough for good teams. And with bad teams, they would rather play young prospects in those positions, and don't want to bring his personality in a young locker room as a veteran. There is a perception around the league, truthful or not about his character.
Could DeAngelo fit the D-corps of say San Jose or Chicago? Yes. Do they want him in their locker room? No, because they are trying to build a culture, not trying to win as many games as possible.
2019-20 TDA was a gamer and would be a huge upgrade for us playing behind Fox.Both of these guys are pricks and I’m glad they are gone. Simple.
Who is watching the Watchmen?

today's TDA is a PP specialist 6th or 7th dman
Podkolzin traded to EDM
A 3rd seems like a decent price for dumping Ceci. Ty could thrive on a fast team like EDM.there's a little cap room
