Wait, so the Devils signed Kurtis MacDermid as a deterrent and he was literally on the ice for that cheap shot? How are we still doing this? :laugh:

Unless someone teaches Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury to skate to a decent level and ices them on the 4th line there is no-one who is going to be a true "deterrent" and even then you would still have big nasty hits as it is just instinct in some situations, game happens so fast and no-one is thinking "oh no, big bad boy is on the ice" when they make the play itself.

Because guys who are quite frankly ~amateur boxing level tough are very unlikely to kill/seriously alter the course of your life barring some bad luck. A few stitches does not deter anyone even if they have time to think.

Donald Brashear was a pretty terrifying fighter who could really, really hurt people, inside and outside of the rink with his boxing and MMA record showing that too! But as we know even pre-lockout he was not a true deterrent for oppositions taking pot-shots at players.

And Brashear had some actual hockey skills.

I am baffled why refs continue to call goalie interference when a forward gets driven by the defenseman into the goalie. My case example is Kempe against the Islanders.
If the play happens and the player has a chance to stop his forward momentum and doesn’t they will call a penalty. It’s a bang/bang play most of the time.
Going to have to wash my hands now after trying to defend a official

How many f***in teams do they need

There is too much trash in the league already, and while I know the incestous nature of men being promoted to NHL GM positions - that isn’t changing.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been a Flyer fan through a decade plus of garbage, but the game itself is worse than it used to be imo.

Not sure more teams helps that.

Next they will be expanding the number of teams to make the playoffs.

Thanks, Back. As probably the most goalie-biased person on here, I agree with your interpretation of the rule, which makes perfect sense. But far too many times, we've see a defenseman ride an opposing forward right into his own goalie or change the forward's trajectory at the last second, as was the case last night to the play to which I referred. The cherry on the sundae is when said defenseman then jumps the player for hitting his goalie.

I’m gonna guess it gets two games. It should be five or more but Parros is man of always coming under low expectations. He could fly a 737 under a bridge in that regards.

Four games.


New York Rangers rookie forward Matt Rempe was suspended four games by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday after elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler in the head on Monday night.​
It's the first suspension of Rempe's 10-game NHL career. Rempe will forfeit $17,083.32, with the money going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. He can appeal the suspension to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, who would have the final say on that appeal.​
Rempe was given a game misconduct with 30 seconds remaining in the second period of the Rangers' 3-1 win over the Devils.​
