he's not a football or basketball player. Doughty wouldn't do that. this chick's just trying to get to be, in some sick fashion, part of the Kings' victory celebration

You give the benefit of the doubt to Doughty because he plays hockey, and not the other guys...why? Obviously this girl is trying to exploit an athlete. The same goes for 99.9% of similar cases, across any sport.

just thinking throughout the past, when a football or basketball player are charged with something, they've usually done it. *ahem*Rapelisberger, Kobe, etc*ahem*.

hockey players are rarely accused of anything and are even more rarely guilty. unless you're Sean Avery. in which case you're a classless douche who is guilty of pretty much anything

 

[STDiva]

Oh, Kobe and Big Ben were guilty?



I must have missed that. Or were you just assuming they were because they aren't hockey players?

The only thing any of these guys are guilty of is infidelity and putting themselves in.a situation to be taken advantage of.

Wild signed Harding to a 3/y about $6M extension. We are stacked with really good young goalies now. We got three young prospects that aren't even in the NHL yet (aside from Hackett who has played sparingly).

I think it is going to be another okay year. As long as Gary Bettman is at the helm, Hockey still will be bad. But..... I'll still watch the Red Wings on and off.

Good signing. All the teams that are salivating over Booby Lou should have been salivating over Harding.

There's a good special on right now about the Eric Lindros draft debacle back in 91/92. I didn't know the Rangers had a deal in place for him.

It's funny/sad to think that the only team that won that trade was the Colorado Avalanche.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Yeah Hards is very solid. Him and Backs led the league for a while last year in combined GAA and save percentage. Word on our Wild board is that people are thinking we're going to move Backs.

 

[STDiva]

That makes sense. Both guys are too good to run a dual goalie system.

 

[C.K. Lawrence]

WTF! Do we watch the same shit man. I'm watching that too [Eric Lindros]...

Yesh, Quebec won the cup, after they relocated though mad and Eric got headaches.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

lol Quebec didn't win shit.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

Lundqvist just won the Vezina.

 

[lurkingdirk]

lol Quebec didn't win shit.

Wasn't good, to be sure..

Lundqvist just won the Vezina.

Blasphemy. Quick should have won.

 

[mah1407]

What do you guys and gals think about the officiating this year. Gonna change/be better/stay the same?

Erik Karlsson (Norris)Ken Hitchcock (Jack Adams)Patrice Bergeron (Selke)Henrik Lundqvist (Vezina)Evgeni Malkin (Hart)

 

[STDiva]

I dunno. The playoffs were worse than the regular season. I'd just like to see some consistency.

 

[STDiva]

Landeskog won ROTY?? Because he didn't get injured? We all know who the real ROTY is.

 

[TheSpokenWheel]

Blasphemy. Quick should have won.

Wrong.

Also, huge congrats to Patrice Bergeron for finally getting a Selke. Maybe now he'll start getting some fucking recognition.

They just added a couple of new penalties concerning players using their hands to move the puck. It'll stay the same mostly. I see no reason why it would be different.

What are these rules now?
