Let's talk about Kiefer Sherwood's body language. I personally am a fan.

Oh ya. You see it?
While not necessarily a knock down scuffle it was a lot more than a push or a shove or talking sweetly with each other.
Combined with the muzzled rumours of the room not being all happy happy joy joy and them all not going out for a drink or dinner or anything at all off the ice. Well they need not be friends right?
Miller and Schenn were buds right? Horvat was a Miller fan right? Miller NEVER smashed his stick and yelled at a teammate on the ice right?
Tocchet never has EVER complained about Pettersson's game, right?
Do you actually believe the team has no control over who attends a practice or has ANY access to their fiefdom?
The best thing for fans might be the end of the monopoly of Rogers controlling so much media. But then that would be bad for selling tickets if truth is told.
Winning covers up much so does goal keeping but they are human beings and not all human beings get along with each other. It is even more so when stakes are high like emotions like envy or entitlement or just damn competition.
sometimes they just play well together I am sure the forum has heard that phrase before.
Apples and Oranges. Dogs and Cats have about the same comparisons to those examples.
I apologize for derailing this thread these comments are better suited to the management thread.
This is a game thread.
So if Petey gets 3 points tomorrow night are we not worried anymore ( I’m sorta not worried but sorta kinda am )

5th overall.
Battling hard in drills and chirping amongst teammates in practice is extremely common in competitive sports. The skirmish between Pettersson and Miller is a complete nothingburger to anyone who played sports growing up and understands the dynamics of a team-based sport and how teammates motivate each other to perform better.
He's actually 8th in forward PK TOI. Has only played 4 games, though. Still, over two extra games that probably only bumps him up to 6th or 7th. Strangely, he's undefeated in PK faceoffs (1/1).
Yeah, a Joshua-Suter-Sprong 4th line would be a lot of fun and probably pretty damn effective. The bigger strangeness is why Suter hasn't been playing centre at all. He's taking less face-offs than Boeser.
The Miller-Pettersson thing is a nothingburger but it's acted as a spark to ignite 8 months of the festering Pettersson situation that the media and fanbase has mostly gone *incredibly* soft on to this point.
Remember Jordan talking about how he was slapping Kerr practice? This is really nothing.
If this was like Green punching the shit out of Poole then yeah we have issues.
I assumed he was playing through an injury, similar to what's going on with Miller.
