Carl Hagelin gets three games for accidentally elbowing someone, in a playoff game, but Xhekaj grabs someone and starts wailing on the back of their head, in the preseason, and gets fined 3k.

Makes sense!!

Montreal typical

Pare wasn't hurt though. He skated away and he might even have been smirking. Unless a player is swinging a stick if there's no injury there's almost never a suspension.

Tonight the Rangers play a Devils team pretty much made of minor leaguers and tryouts. Their main team is in Prague. If Panarin's playing and one of their yokels sticks out his knee and f***s his knee all up Rangers fans are rightfully going to be livid and if that player doesn't get tossed I'd kind of expect someone to go after him. You don't get a free pass just because you're not that good of a player and whenever you play and it's a serious game you own what you do. Anyway I expected retaliation when Wilson piledrove Artemi's head into the ice a few years ago and Wilson was a for real NHL player and a real tough guy. That retaliation didn't come that game.....it came the next game and Trotz pulled Wilson from the game after he fought Brendan Smith because it kind of looked like every time Wilson was going to set foot on the ice that night he was going to have to fight.

FWIW I think the hit on Laine was unintentional. Pare was flatfooted and lost and desperately put his leg out to impede Laine going around him. From a Montreal standpoint though they've put a lot of hope in a resurgence this year in Laine coming on board for them and that knee by a guy who's never even played an NHL game could have dire consequence on their season. Of course they and Xhekaj in particular were pissed and if this guy wasn't going to stand up well.......

"and he roofs it, top cheese"

<<Watches replay and it clearly shows the puck only a foot or two off the ice.>>

Of course the Canes get a gem in the 4th round though.

Sometimes it pays to actually have draft picks

Rules for every hockey announcer:

Everything off the ice is top shelf

Every dangle is automatically a toe drag

no wonder why drury fired rammer. Dach laine and reinbacher all losing critical developmental seasons

Cam Neely saying they offered Swayman 8x8.

I really hope the Bruins stick to their guns and drive down goalie compensation.

I hope they stick to their guns, too, but for different reasons…so our fanbase can get a long look at what a .89 SV% at 4 million Just a Guy does for a team that some seem to wish for.

Rempe vs Xhekaj gonna be a good one

 

[nyr2k2]

I've been a fan of Arber Xhekaj since junior hockey but dude is going to start racking up suspensions quickly if he doesn't adjust.

 

[Irishguy42]

Xhekaj doing that was about as predictable as ever. But fining him will prevent him from doing that next time, right Parros?

I think my name this weekend on NHL 25 is gonna be Go Back To Costco

Huge hit on stutzle

No, stutzle stick self inflicted, another dive

 

[Tob]

Classic Jeff Gorton team. Reinbacher, Laine, Dach now. everyone is taking liberties against them!

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Feels like every slightly exciting habs player just permanently exists with a 3 month injury timetable

 

[will1066]

Getting closer to Fourgiev

It would be awesome for the NHL if Crosby vs Ovechkin is going to be replaced with Bedard vs Michkov for the next decade. Few years before the draft, there was legit discussion who should be going 1st overall, Bedard or Michkov. Can't believe he fell for the Flyers at 7th. What the f*** was a team like Montreal doing.

And as for Laine, that sucks so bad. It really seemed like he was primed for a monster season with the Habs, mental and physical issues put aside. And then you get injured in a freak accident hit in a preseason game? Worst case scenario, he's out for the season.

Didn't look like a freak accident to me. Pare got beat and stuck himself in Laine's path. Idiot move that no doubt will hurt someone.

Maybe that's a roof job in middle earth. Seriously, I was like huh?

Some dork using a 7ft black man with red hair and a racist name will report you and you’ll be Joe NHL by Monday

Now that was a bad hit.

Swayman's agent contends that the Bruins have never even made an offer like that so it doesn't appear likely they're going to have their No. 1 anytime soon. When Neely decides to involve himself in a situation there's usually some stupid shit going to happen. It's like he doesn't want to be the Bruins general manager but he always wants to do the general manager's job for him.

havent commented yet, but with laine's injury, i just dont know how you can pin that on the defender. laine's stance is sooooo wide while cruising across the blue line that it was bound to happen. if not on that play then on the next one that would inevitably happen. you cant skate like that through traffic especially at the blue line where defenders stand up to deny entry.
