NHL: Around the League 52

[BobbyJet]

a joke of a penalty to Gus.

Tarasenko is only 32. It’s amazing what an absolute non factor he’s been. I honestly forgot he’s on this team

I don’t like the Geico lamp commercial. Should be kids playing on an ODR. That truly captures the hockey spirit - and was my reality for like 10 years.

As a repeat offender, Trouba was fortunate to escape a major, followed by suspension. The NHL is never predictable when it comes to officiating, it's rulings on goals to allow or disallow or in its disciplinary rulings after the fact.
I suppose in this case the NHL determined that the elbow was a reflex reaction, not intentional.

Should have been a major and a suspension.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Man. Tarasenko is just done.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Wasn’t Kakko a super high draft pick? He’s been a non factor

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yeah.... the +/- stat is so much fun and such a convenient stat. It's either irrelevant or a barometer of a player's performance. Similar to the way politicians manipulate stats, it depends on your belief which way to go. Like so many players, his contract is too high but he's nowhere as bad as you like to imply. Your bias towards Oilers is showing again.

My "bias" falls in line with almost every Oiler fan at this point

Literally many are calling it the worst contract in NHL and how he is actively the worst player on Oiler team

Nurse is the one player I wouldn’t trade Seth Jones for to be rid of his contract

I disagree. Tarasenko has shown to me to be a pretty complete player..... just not the guy who everyone relies on to score. In a way he epitomizes the Panthers player in the way he plays the game... and he has not lost his shot. If he gets the puck in a shooting position he's dangerous.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Shesterkin has been incredible

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Alright, Cats even the series up.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Tic tac toe what a pretty goal to win it.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Best if 3 now. Panthers are the better team, but Igor is stupid. He's perfectly capable of stealing this series.

Are you surprised by Bobby? It’s the epitome of what Bobby likes. Big, physical, unable to play hockey. He did this shit with a washed up Seabrook as well.

Some reports speculate that Leafs may have to choose to sign one of Bertuzzi or Max Domi. I reckon it's a difficult decision but I know who I would keep. The ex-Hawk.

Depends at what cost. He certainly isnt worth the 5mil on a longer term deal that he is looking for.

I wouldn’t trade him for huberdoink either

Good call. Talk about a horrible trade. Slammed Calgary’s window shut and pried Florida’s wide open

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Nurse on the ice for another goal against! This one wasn’t his fault but it’s Tinordi at this point.

LOL .... some folks love to pile on.... who cares if he had nothing to do with the goal against.

Who is that Jamie Benn guy?

 

[BobbyJet]

I believe it: Blackhawks fans named most ‘ice cold' and aggressive in NHL in new study

 

[Joemoe]

Okay, now I kinda feel bad for Nurse.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Okay, now I kinda feel bad for Nurse.

Nah this is absolutely hilarious. At least he finally scored a goal!

Looks like I'm going to have an in-person view for the lower-tier prospects of the Rags:

Bloomington Bison | Bloomington Bison Announce NHL Affiliation and Introduce New Head Coach

The team revealed Thursday its affiliation with the prestigious New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). In...

I've come to the conclusion that Oilers and Rangers are both getting the short end of the stick when it comes to officiating. Why, is anyone's guess... but that's what I see.

 

[BobbyJet]

Mikkola runs the goalie and gets away with it .... instead an even up penalty to Gus of Rangers. This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Backyard Hockey]

God I wish Forsling was still on the Hawks. Did not expect him to become what he’s become
