2014-15 NHL Season

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

So Vanek for Moulson and a 1st eh

[Parker 1st MRB]

Islanders got fleeced.

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Yeah, thats an absolutely terrible deal for the Islanders. Moulson is a good player making about half of what Vanek makes AND they lose a first and second round pick. Thats rough.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Im going to when Vanek goes to FA and Moulson goes to FA and they dont get either. This reminds me of a certain trade Fletcher did when he first got the job for the Wild. Damn you Leddy......

[Teachey]

Guess the Islanders decided to shoot themselves in the foot, oh well.

[Steiner]

I thought Mike Milbury's days as Islanders GM were over?

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

I thought Mike Milbury's days as Islanders GM were over?

Yeah, but now they have Wang and Snow.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Who wants to see Halloween hockey pumpkins? I do!

[Watkis]

So Varlamov is in jail now.

Not really sure what you're getting at there...

I'll wait and see what actually happened first before.

And now for a suggestion for Parker... Don't do this:

Or if you do, put the heart beside the girl since she's never going to get married while they're young enough to make it worth their while.

[Steiner]

I thought Mike Milbury's days as Islanders GM were over?

Yup, that kind of a move just reminds me of Mike Milbury, who was easily the worst GM in hockey. I guess the Isles just never learn =/

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

Snow reminds me of Risebrough and all the shit he did to set us back 4yrs.

[Parker 1st MRB]

I'll bet they win it before Montreal does.

[Pandalsson 1st MRB]

I'll bet they win it before Montreal does.

Sadly, I think that you're quite possibly right. At least until the Habs get a bonafide 1st line like the JVR/Kessel/whoever they throw in as centre.

Of late, montreal has had a plethora of top... 2/3rd liners. Although our defense is far more advanced than the leafs. But Subban's extension and Markov's UFA might change all that.

Although that Glachenyuk kid is something to watch. Even Gallagher... might be an eventual St. Louis with Gally playing the role of Stamkos. Crossing fingers.

But glad to see that Reimer is finding his groove now that he has Bernier to push him. Unlike Edmonton. Wonder if MacT is = going to throw some ridiculous deal for Reimer/Bernier.

Edited November 2, 2013 by Pandalsson 1st MRB

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

If it weren't for Reimer it could have easily been 8-0 for Vancouver last night. He made some ridiculous saves at the start of the game.

[Steiner]

And the Bryzgalov saga begins in Edmonton.....

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

[Gooderham 1st MRB]

Stamkos out with what looks like a broken leg or ankle. Ouch.

[Pandalsson 1st MRB]

Who knew Kadri moonlights as a recruiter?

Should be surprised if Kadri doesn't come out of it with at least a 2 game suspension, hopefully more. Even if he's not a repeat offender, he repeatedly offended in the same game.

I'm sure Engle thinks 10 is the new 2.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

I was hoping for at least 5. The thing that irks me is reading all the Leaf supporters thinking those were not suspendable hits. If it was the other way around I guarantee you they would be asking for blood not a suspension.

Its the same way for most teams. The uneducated come out and defend their player despite the overwhelming evidence against it.

Anyways, 3 games was a game shy of what I expected. I also thought that Shanahan should have reviewed the hit by Kadri later in the game, which made incidental contact with the head. Combined, I would have said 5 games (knowing how the Wheel of Punishment works).

[Pandalsson 1st MRB]

I was surprised that it came to only 3.

For a number of evident reasons (from the videos) I would like to think that Kadri didn't *intentionally* target the head, but rather was just a really horribly annoying "opportunist" who saw a chance to run a goalie and put on an easy, but very dangerous, hit.

Both showed extremely poor judgement on his part given the chance to seriously hurt one or the other. If the NHL is going to crack down on hits to the head, intentional or not, then he should have gotten at least 5 games.

Especially given the number of unlucky accidents to key players already (Stamkos, Ward, Hall, Quick, Getzlaf, Rinne, Vanek, Nash, now backstrom).

Although, I'm glad to see Harding given a chance cement his role as new #1 after being pretty much written off following his fight with MS.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Pay no attention to the Kadri suspension, look here instead:
