Death From Above Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 My biggest Jack Edwards memory was tuning into a random Bruins/Devils game and he went on a rant on air about how PK Subban was a beta male unlike alpha male Chara, it was one of the strangest things I've ever heard on a hockey broadcast.

Was thinking, "man, he's been NHLPA director forever" - he's only had the job since 2010. I was thinking of his time leading MLBPA from 83-09.

RIPPA Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I don't know why but I am really enjoying Patrick Kane being all emo that he can't be traded to the Rangers now Quote Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane admitted that he was looking at the New York Rangers as a possible trade option and isn't happy they opted to acquire Vladimir Tarasenko instead. "It's not, like, the happiest I've been to hear about a trade," Kane said after the Blackhawks' practice on Friday. -------- The Rangers filled their need for a scoring right winger by acquiring Tarasenko from the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. A source told ESPN that while New York was interested in Kane, the asking price from the Blackhawks was higher than that from the Blues and there were concerns about a lingering hip injury with Kane. Kane confirmed on Friday that the Rangers were a team that caught his interest, while reiterating that he has yet to formally decide whether to approve a trade out of Chicago. "If things were going to happen, that was a team I was definitely looking at. It seems like they kind of filled their void and went ahead and made a deal. It is what it is," he said.

Tabe Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Detroit with an excellent win in the road against Washington last night. Washington was missing Ovechkin because of his father's death. Detroit was without Dylan Larkin for most of the game after he blasted TJ Oshie in the face with a crosscheck. Reading the Red Wings subreddit has been something else. Everyone says he didn't do it intentionally. And nearly all of them think it didn't deserve 5 & a game. I have no idea what they watched. Larkin aimed high with a crosscheck and landed. 100% intentional, 100% deserved 5 & a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Detroit fans upset he got kicked out because Larkin has been the recipient of two similar or worse crosschecks that were seen by referees and not penalized. The first one jacked up his neck for MONTHS and put him in the freaking hospital. Well, tonight just added fuel to that fire. Michael Rasmussen was the recipient of an identical, possibly even more vicious, crosscheck as the one Larkin delivered. 2 minutes. Ridiculous.

elizium Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Went to my first Jets game of the year and it may have been the worst game I've ever been to. The Jets just played a heartless lazy game. No drive, no fight for the puck, just total apathy. Bad goals, bad giveaways, nobody on the ice looked like they cared. Listening to the post-game on the drive home and the hosts and players interviewed were going on about how much better they played in the 2nd and 3rd period, mostly because they out shot the Isles (after only getting one shot in the first period). But like...they didn't? The Isles had their 2 goal lead and were perfectly content to let the Jets flit around the edges and loose low percentage shots toward the net. When asked about the terrible first period, Ehlers even said it was bad, but it didn't cost them the game. The had one shot and were down 1-0 after the first, they literally lost the game in the first. Such a bummer as it will likely be the only game I go to the entire year. Only bright spot was it was a kids day, where they had kids doing PA and playing the organ, and all the graphics on the tron and projected on the ice were made to look like crayon drawings. 9/10 for the graphics, -70/10 for the game itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 K'Andre Miller got a match penalty for spitting on Drew Doughty and is looking at a possible fine or suspension. While I agree that spitting should be taken very, very seriously, it kinda boggles the mind guys get crosschecked in the face and that's only a 2-minute penalty but spitting is an automatic match penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
