Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCIV: From Ghost to Hakstol and all things in between

Fitting for the Rangers to just completely give up for that empty netter.

Kane was ridiculous there.

You should want that to not happen to someone else then, right?

You'd think

Somebody post the Dave Chappelle gif. You know the one

 

[Beef Invictus]

100% agree. Most here wouldn’t have survived the Stevens era. I remember exactly where is was when the hit happened.

Beef remembers.

Was on a fishing trip in a cabin with a satellite dish. So defeating.

Was it ice fishing

 

[Deadpool8812]

Good on the Devils

It’s not that cold here

In the same way chlamydia is better than genital
Warts sure.

So, the Rangers flipping out over Wilson and making themselves tougher results in them losing to a team that hockeys better?

It's a shame the Flyers think the way of failure.

Canes and leaf’s should stomp these weasels.

I have mixed opinions on the Trouba hit. It reminds me of the Kronwall hits where they are clearly predatory and trying to injure a player. On the other hand Meier can’t put himself in a position to get rocked like that. Trouba appeared to get his head but Meier had his head down slouched forward. I don’t think the league can just give players the green light to skate with their head forward and face down because it will be a penalty if they’re hit. It was one of those clean dirty hits

I prefer pics for proof

Gallant is a great coach and they'd be crazy to move on?

Nah. When your team gets dissected that severely you've gotta ask hard questions why, and if he can't come up with the reason and plot a solution you heavily consider moving on.

 

[Cody Webster]

Canes Devils should be a good one

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Gallant has always been an overrated coach.

 

[Curufinwe]

No suspension on this one

Could you imagine being the Devils?!

Thank god we aren't them.

I don't think it's as bad as Kronwalling, myself. Allowing those hits with the insane justification that he isn't at fault because he isn't consciously aiming since he's going backwards reeked of pro-O6 bias. The Trouba hit can be argued clean (I haven't decided how I feel because apparently I still harbor massive anti-NJ bias so I'll just not bother), but there isn't any universe where Kronwalling should have been reasonably unpunished.

If Kronwall were a Flyer, I am positive he gets lit up for it. The people running the league will still proudly profess an ongoing hatred of the Flyers because they were a mean team for a couple years 50 years ago and they were raised to hate them.
