Really nasty business out of San Jose

And they will always have the stink of the Aldrich connection, too... The fact that there are this many f***ing scumbags working in hockey is embarrassing. Bullets to the head for all of them.

Aldrich is a whole thing that’s separate from systemic pedophilia and that includes the leafs shitshow everyone decided to forget.

I hope the only “stink” that’s involved is karma where the hockey world can be found griefing every SJS fan that called for bedard off the Blackhawks to forfeit Celebrini(and the perpetrator rots in hell, and beyond that the children are made alright however possible.. etc)

Came for McDavid. Didn’t disappoint.

Shame for the young fella

Yea that is not good. Either he's going to have to change the way he plays or he won't have a long career.

Rempe gets five and a game for a dirty elbow. Probably getting suspended.

I don't want to ever hear about the Devils having good metrics anytime soon. That team isn't winning a f***ing thing until they get a heart transplant. The response after the Rempe hit was pathetic.

Wasn’t Macdermid chasing him a bit

And he got a ten minute misconduct and I don't remember him touching the ice the rest of the game. No face washes, no scuffles, no nothing in the third.

The player was ejected

Mercer having such a bad year that Devils fans want him traded.

Another Musto masterclass.

Rempe was, MacDermid only got a ten minute misconduct and likely didn't skate again because he's a useless goon and Jersey needed a win and were down two with ten to go.

I don't see the point in taking another cheap shot at an innocent Ranger and putting them on the PP. Take a number for next game, and move on to try and win, with the guy who committed the crime getting tossed.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Rempe is like peak Torres level dangerous. Way too many headshots in such a short time

League is playing with fire here

I'm not advocating anybody do anything dirty but good lord maybe say excuse me after a whistle.

So that makes two groups (SLC and Atlanta) formally asking for NHL to award them expansion teams

Make it 34!!!!!!!!!!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Seems like there's a big rush to try to get in. Kroenke allegedly wants to get the NHL into San Diego, too.

Stan Kroenke joins real estate group building NHL/NBA quality arena in San Diego

I meant that Canadians support their NHL clubs better than the small market cities in the US. The people in New Orleans love the Saints, but they're wearing paper bags over their heads in the lean times. Canadians support their NHL clubs better than large market cities in the US do. Yes...

Emphasis on the "allegedly" part, though. Right now just hearsay and if they build an arena.

New Arena would need to be in place or under construction for that to happen

The current arena is soon to be 60 years old and only seats a little less then 13,000 for hockey

SD
SLC
Houston
Atlanta

Make it 36!

The more teams in the league, the shittier the product. I'll never understand the desire to keep adding teams.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Rempe gets four games. Chicken shit elbow, glad to see it.

Money.

Money.

I mean from fans. It's obvious from a business perspective.

Agreed. Maybe it's because people saw Vegas be so competitive so quickly in 2018 after an expansion draft but I lean on the side of the league's talent gets watered down with more teams. There aren't all these extra players good enough for the NHL, it's already hard enough to be a NHL regular or impact player.

This'll probably mess up a team's ability to build through the draft as well as the few hits in each draft year are going to be even harder to come by. 34 & 36 teams is nuts, that's an injection of 50-100 players into the league that previously wouldn't have made it. On top of the 50 or so players we've added since 2018 Lots and lots of very mediocre teams. The league is probably too big with 32 IMHO.

The Hawks will be ok because we're a huge market but I don't think this is good for the on ice product. Time will tell.
