Bad reffing aside, what I find funny is that if you just read the stat line/penalty description:
You picture him going to the dirty areas to score, running into the goalie, getting into a shoving contest/sticking up for himself and eventually dropping the gloves. It has a feeling of "Toughness" to it.
When you watch the replay, you see him clipping a goalie who came way out of the crease, then turtling and getting pounded on.

Even Zach was laughing about it on Twitter in response to someone teasing him about could his stat line possibly be correct:

If my math and understanding of how AHL/NHL contracts work, Boychuk is going to make an extra $5,325 tonight because Bowman has the flu.
Unsustainable
Seth Jarvis has Big Kahunas

In that case I fully expect him to miss $5,325 worth of golden opportunities nearly gift-wrapped to him. Still, $5,325 for that's a bargain. We pay E. Staal WAY more than that for that level of performance issues.

Emergency recall for Boychuk. He goes back down regardless of how he plays. SUPER MOTIVATION

I know, still, waive Bowman, he clearly was licking door knobs and made everyone else sick.

I'm pretty sure the CBA states that any player on the NHL roster after the deadline can't be waived.

True, but the CBA also states that any player who intentionally licks doorknobs to the detriment of his team MUST be waived.
Unstoppable force meet immovable object. We'll see what Shanahan does.

Just caught sportsnets top plays of the month and number 1 was Sekera and his dominating shift against the ducks.

I honestly think that was the best trade that JR's ever made other then the ones that resulted in us eventually winning the cup (Brindy, Weight, Hedican, Recchi).

Larry Brooks reporting in the NY Post this morning that Muller will be fired at the end of the season.

That may be a foregone conclusion with all the potential changes that are in line. Brooks tends to be sensationalistic generally though.
Ps bah! Said exactly the same thing as wtf at the same time but the post showed up second. I fail.

I wouldn't be surprised. I don't think it's the right move, but typically an incoming GM wants "his guy" to start out the process. Not always (recent situation in Buffalo, for example) but most of the time.

I don't know if it's the right move, but I don't think it's really a bad one either. There's going to be a pretty massive shakeup throughout this org, and that's a good thing.
Massive might be overstating it, particularly if Francis is simply Rutherford, only younger.
I was told, to your point, that Rutherford has put everyone out there except the Staals. Which is not really the shakeup *I* would look to do, but really the only one that's possible.
Re. ADubinchuk's comment about Garrioch and Semin - I used to think that about Garrioch too, but have found that his sources are vast throughout the league. Surprised me...but it is what it is.
Also, we have a vastly more positive view of Semin than a lot of the rest of the league. One personnel guy: "what about compete level, what about second effort. In four viewings this year, effort was a definite issue."

That surprises me.
That still taken into account, if the first thing Francis does is buy out a deal with 4 years and $28 million left, the contract of one of just a few guys on the team that can actually score, hire Rutherford back. We can't take losing him, even if he's not worth $7mil. Not to mention we couldn't take the cap hit of the buyout...
What the Faulk
You'll know when you go
Yeah $3.5m a year for 8 years doesn't seem something this organization would ever consider for more than a second.
Oh the buyout comment TOTALLY comes out of left field for me too. He's like the 20th biggest problem on this team.
Anton Dubinchuk
aho
I suppose he's not technically wrong. Francis will have to make that decision. It will just be an easy one.
