October 2013 NHL Thread

[caley]

So bizarre.  Apparently he came to practice today, told no one about charges or arrests or anything, then turned himself in a couple hours later.

 

I am glad I don't moderate the main area of HF, that must be rife with off-colour "jokes", amateur lawyering, Russian "jokes", and Patrick Roy references. 

[jumbojustice]

Damn you, Leafs... Calgary beat the pants off you tonight, and yet you still won, because you don't have crappy goaltending.

 

Also, damn you, Coach Hartley, for benching our best defensive forward (Backlund) so you could dress two goons and play them each for three minutes of the game. Bah!

Steve Downie for Max Talbot

[Charlie M.]

I can't help but wonder if these two things are related.  Not that Downie was involved but that they need to free up money to get another goalie.

[The Man Known as Dan]

damn it, as soon as I swear of this board every fucking thing interesting in the world happens.

 

And Elizium, your joke didn't make me mad, I actually thought it was funny.

 

And Colorado has 11 mill in cap space before this trade: No way it's to free up for an immediate move

[Death From Above]

Sign of how ridiculous things are in Edmonton: Ryan Smyth played D in practice today.

 

After two of our defensemen cleared waivers yesterday.

 

Yeah.

Seems a little awkward the Avs are just going to keep using Varlamov as if nothing happened. I guess the NHL could step in and suspend him but since none of the allegations have been proven I'm not sure how that would go over. Hopefully the details are incorrect because if he did what has been reported that is one fucked up... and I use this term loosely... man.

I looked it up and Joe Corvo was suspended 3 games by the Kings when he plead guilty to assaulting a woman in a restaurant.

Who is/was worse: This years Sabres or the expansion Sens? Was at game last night and it was awful. Had stupid Rangers fans start crap with me because I was wearing a Gilbert Perrault Sabres jersey. People who go after visiting fans are (for the most part) cowards who only act because they have numbers backing them up. Told them the only reason they are here is because the coat hanger missed.

[ChesterCopperpot]

So John Scott ended up getting 7 games and he has already served 4 of them

 

 

 

And the Sedins re-up in Vancouver - 4 years $28million apiece

[Charlie M.]

I am outraged at how fair those contracts are and how they got done in a timely fashion!
