If a Gordie Howe hat trick is a goal, an assist, and a fight...

Then what is a "Brodzinski hat trick?"

A shot wide, a logo snipe, and a giveaway?
Cuylle makes a nice play, Kakko f***s it up, and Brodzinski is there.

You do that three times.

Kucherov is a monster. we would all love to have him on our RW and yes any player would be available for him but Fox. so he's drunk half the time he's also an MVP candidate and depending on who you ask, the frontrunner.
 
It used to be that hitting was allowed from 12 years old or even earlier. Those days are long gone.
You say this like it's a bad or questionable thing, which it isn't. If high-drafted 18-year-olds who are tracking to become multimillionaires by their mid-20s don't know how to take a hit coming into the NHL, so be it. Obviously youth hockey programs need to prioritize protecting the long-term wellbeing of these 12- to 14-year-olds rather than preparing the 0.001% of them for an NHL future lining up against guys who might want to mash their brains into their skulls

Sorry you took it that way... but I wasn't stating an opinion. Just stating facts.

I completely understand and agree with why they keep raising the age of hitting in youth hockey.

That said, the side effect is young NHL players getting blown up by turning away from contact along the boards, or simply not keeping their heads up when carrying the puck.

My guess is that hitting goes away in the NHL at some point. The youth programs are no longer preparing these players for that type of game, and major NHL injuries aren't uncommon because of it.

Hey, you guys remember, back in the day, when our power play was lethal?

Those were good times....

The Rangers have had 1 power play since 1/27 and it was cut short by a bad call. NHL is against us folks
 
Brodzinski hat trick. Rangers win 3-0.

Outside of hockey, a Brodzinski hat trick is driving a Nissan Miata, ordering a McDonald's Whopper and accidentally t-boning the Liberty Butumal actor on a car insurance policy by The General.
 
Tonight's refs are Steve Kozari and Trevor Hanson. Working the lines are Ryan Galloway and Dan Kelly.
