At least its only 1-0 😛

https://www.tsn.ca/beach-courageous-says-mother-of-high-school-player-assaulted-by-aldrich-1.1718260 To be honest I don't know if they have a case against the Blackhawks in this, but they could show some class at least.

Yeah Cozens should be send down, get some confidence going in Rochester.

Oops isn't good 😛

Oh well stuck at work all night anyway, hope they play a good game.

Kinda like it, bit of veteran presence for him. Pysyk always avoided making stupid plays.

Man if only Jagr played all his seasons in the NHL.

Nah hayden will be a punching bag in the first, but in 3rd thompson will step up and land a few right ones 😛

Yeah maybe, just don't say years later you never heard anything about it.

I can't ever remember a video or picture being uploaded as proof. I also can't recall the attacks being more on a personal level than Risto just having bad hockey IQ and making dumb plays. This board been sliding for a few months now.

Maybe but I respect it more than the Dahlin is dumb thread, A lot of frustration taken out on the kid there. Some of the regular posters that I respected a lot through out the years lost mine just in that thread alone. The personal attacks in that thread that have nothing to do with hockey is just shameful. If I was a moderator it would have been deleted already.

Thompson will be a great 3C for us if we are lucky.

Yes because he still is an 80 point player. No because his off ice issues / no because he was a leader on the team during the cover up / no because I don't want to pay the price it would cost us to trade for him.

Lol stinker 🙂

Obnoxious thread title causes thread that makes me want to 🤢

ffs

nice

He checked out long before his injury that is clear now. But the media portraying like its sabres management that is the evil in all of this.

Now put him in between Peterka and Quinn and see the magic happen 🙂

I remember most on this board didn't want to retain salary at all.

Nah not at all , In 5 years you could be paying a player 2.5 mill to score against you in the stanley cup final. Not the same as a one time bonus.

What happens to his playing level when he avoids contact all together.

I always said I wanted more in return for Jack Eichel than what Colorado got for Duchene. Duchene got - Sam Girard / 1st round pick (byram / 28th pick in 2017 Bowers / Kamenev (think he is in KHL) / 2nd round pick NAS / 3rd round pick OTT / Goalie Hammond as throw in Jack Eichel got us - 2022 1st (byram) / Tuch (Girard) / Krebs (Bowers) / 2nd pick / and we send a 3rd round pick away. In what world is Jack worth less than Duchene though ? I would have liked an extra piece 2024 1st rounder or something. Not wanting to retain salary might have reduced what we got, but you don't want to be paying Jack 5 years from now still. But what I really think made the offers much less is the surgery, there is no doubt in my mind most of our possible trading partners agreed with buffalo team doctors and we were probably down to 2 teams willing to do the ADR. The flames rumour about Tkachuck might have made the knights blink and make the deal.

The return might not be so great, but we also have to think that Eichel might not play another 10 games in the NHL if the surgery goes bad.

Somehow this hurts me less than the Reinhart trade.
