Around the NHL: Part XXI

Major sports leagues are easing up on marijuana - Axios



NHL: While the NHL tests for cannabis, there is no punishment for positives. If a player has "abnormally high levels" of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, it's treated as a matter of health care (as alcoholism would be).

Funny policy "abnormally high"..........Maybe the rumors about Purples Hayes were correct.

If they change the offsides rule, they better install embedded cameras looking down the blue line. Similar to what the NFL instituted with the pylon cams.

How did Minnesota make their way back into the playoff picture?

Wow, 90 stitches. That was hard to watch. Hope he is ok.

Apparently the skate cut his eyelid which is a horrifyingly close call

It sure is. He knew it was bad because he quickly headed off the ice.

Dumbass Flames. I never know what the hell that team is supposed to be.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Can't help but admire the Blue Jackets. Spare parts still getting it done. Shows what coaching and a system can do.

let’s just hope the Flames and Oilers meet in Round 1

The Calgary Flames could finish bottom-5 or top-5 in the league and neither would shock me. I just don't understand them.

Flyers 4 Caps 2

Hmmm

 

[Kords]

Philly getting the Caps good and pissed off for us tomorrow. That will be three times they screw our odds in less than a week. Joy.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Flyers soon to be 1 point out of first. Yikes.

Meh. I know they have a lot of injuries but they have actually played like crap tbh. 2-5-6 in their last 13 and on a 1 game winning streak, maybe 2.

Those first couple years of AV hockey for you

they've got an AHL lineup. And they're still hanging on to a playoff spot (barely). The fact we can't catch up to them is pretty sad.

They are hanging on to a playoff spot because they had a substantial cushion. They were 10 points ahead of us a few weeks ago and we got to within 2. Its hard to make up all that ground with all the 3 point games in the league. You make it seem like they have been playing well which is not the case.

 

[Kovalev27]

The Flames are absolutely sleeping thru this game

 

[Kovalev27]

7 mins into the third Calgary doesn’t have a shot in the period.

Somebody should tell them they are close to falling out of playoff position.

Not surprised at all. I figured 2nd or 3rd in metro for sure.

I am sure if you ask any flyers fan they could care less. Fact of the matter they are playing like the best team in hockey and they finally have a good coach again.

Yup, they are playing great. I wouldn't care either. I was ok with AV when we went to the SCF and then were 20 minutes away from another one the next year.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Flames woke up and tied game. They just won it with 10 seconds left in OT.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Jackets lose!
