rickshaw Posted March 12, 2012 Report Posted March 12, 2012 I beg to differ but ping-ponging the d-man into the goalie seems to be one of Kaleta's signature moves. He did it to Chara a few weeks back and the big goon came back to flatten him. Kaleta was hammered by Edler into Schneidef. Kaleta was coming late looking for a rebound, clearly stopping when Edler demolished him into the goalie. No malicious intent from 36 at all.
Bmwolf21 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 GM meeting updates (if it has already been posted, my apologies): Hybrid icing rule, elimination of hand passes in defensive zone two hot topics. Not much support so far for eliminating red line or trapezoid. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=390139

Eleven Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger I predict a rash of Too Many Men penalties. GM's talked about concerns over "loose" line changes. No rule tweak needed...enforcement is.

shrader Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 Thank god those dangerous too many men penalties are finally getting dealt with! There's a Tallinder joke in there somewhere.
carpandean Posted March 13, 2012 Report Posted March 13, 2012 There's a Tallinder joke in there somewhere. Wouldn't that fall under the "third man in" penalty?
spndnchz Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 Huh. Crosby coming back Thursday vs Rangers. Huh. -looks for shoulder shrug emoticon to no avail.

Bmwolf21 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 apparently the NHL euro-games are cancelled due to CBA debacle. link They talked about this on the Hot Stove last weekend. Basically it came down to the issue that the league and NHLPA split the costs of the trip, and the PA didn't want to be on the hook for it if the owners locked them out.

Basically it came down to the issue that the league and NHLPA split the costs of the trip, and the PA didn't want to be on the hook for it if the owners locked them out. I don't foresee a lockout this time (I know that wasn't your point). The status quo is what the owners want and is what the league needs. I could see a strike, though. Fehr is a problem.

The status quo is what the owners want and is what the league needs. I could see a strike, though. Fehr is a problem. I actually see a lockout, just don't know if it will cost games. I think the owners want closer to a 50/50 HRR split, much like the NFL and NBA owners got in their new CBAs. In fact I'd be quite shocked if there wasn't a major owners push for that. And yes, Fehr sucks.

I could see a strike, though. Fehr is a problem. It was actually the Hot Stove guys who mentioned the lockout as part of the reasoning behind killing the Euro games. And Fehr scares the ###### out of me. He has no problem with killing part or all of a season if it means making sure the players get every concession and every last dime.

He has no problem with killing part or all of a season if it means making sure the players get every concession and every last dime. I don't see it going down that way. I hope I'm right on that, and I also hope that there's no strike. Basically, this CBA is good for everyone. It should just be extended. But someone will get greedy (someone always does), and my bet is that it will be Fehr who does so. And not necessarily out of the best interests of his constituency, either. Could it be the big-market teams wanting to rid the league of the cap? Sure. But I don't think so; a couple of them have won the Cup recently even with a cap. I see Fehr making trouble, just as he did with realignment, just for the sake of furthering whatever "legend" he thinks he owes himself.
Taro T Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 I don't foresee a lockout this time (I know that wasn't your point). The status quo is what the owners want and is what the league needs. I could see a strike, though. Fehr is a problem. The owners have the leverage at the beginning of the season, the players at the end. Having been burned by the 1st player strike at the end of the season in '92, I don't see the owners ever allowing the players to get that leverage again. If there isn't a deal in place by the beginning of the season there will be a lockout. I agree fully with the bolded.
TrueBlueGED Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Apparently Ovechkin was involved in a huge collision during practice and is currently being evaluated by the medical staff. This is all while Backstrom is skating and might return soon, which I think would have sealed the Sabres' fate. But if Ovechkin misses some time, there's still hope baby!

JJFIVEOH Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 Might start getting ugly in FL. Campbell laid out Marchand with a clean hip check and Boston's starting to get dirty.
