zetts AND datsyuk out. My beloved scoring pair. So long, fantasy stats... I hardly knew ye.

 

That being said... ouch. Speedy recovery, zetty the grizzly teddy.

 

I'm really trying to resist the urge to turn "beloved scoring pair" into the obvious joke.

Someone remind me why there is an NHL team in south Florida again? Disgraceful.

 

@Proteautype: Nothing about this says warm. MT @GeorgeRichards Tuesday night warmups v Sens ...Empty even by #FlaPanthers standards http://t.co/s6ER6kxqaa

 

Disgraceful. The Lightning don't do too bad. Move the Panters to Seattle.

You'd think they'd just close off the upper seats and let everyone have free reign on the lower bowl. At least it would look full on camera.

 

So I popped the game on, there looks to be at least an entire empty row in each section you can see from the center ice camera, maybe 50% full in those sections. There's a block directly behind the benches of 4 rows a section+ wide with *no one* in them. Granted, this is early in the second, but I have a hard time believing folks are waiting in line on the concourse.

Chet and Muffy don't appreciate mixing with the unclean masses.

That is just plain pathetic. Meanwhile, Quebec City is dying to get back in the NHL game.

The state of refereeing in this league continues to disgust me. In the Preds - Canucks game (which I was at), Hornqvist brushes the defenseman who brushes Luongo who then takes the most ridiculous dive I've ever seen. Ref calls goalie interference. Canucks score on the ensuing power play. Game, set, match. Disgusting.

It says in the link you posted that the Canucks didn't score on the ensuing power play ? Regardless that was a pathetic display by Luongo and it appears the canucks have gained their reputation as divers and whiners honestly.

The article is wrong - they definitely scored on the power play. The Preds had all the momentum prior to that.

 

Also, there was another questionable goalie interference call a couple of minutes before this one.

Gino Odjick battling symptoms from repeated concussions.

 

Former NHL enforcer Gino Odjick, who spent time with the Vancouver Canucks as an on-ice "bodyguard" for star Pavel Bure, was admitted to the psychiatric ward of a Quebec-area hospital over the weekend, according to a report in The Journal de Montreal.

 

I’m here because of my concussion problems,” Odjick told QMI when reached Monday in the hospital. “Since I retired from hockey in 2002, I’ve spent 32 months in the hospital.

Toronto 56 hits, San jose 19 hits. Are you kidding me?!!!! Who keeps the stats in Toronto? San jose with a 3-2 win. Go Sharks.

 

It's probably accurate. The Sharks had the puck the entire game, so all the Leafs could do is hit and block shots.

8.5mil for 7years is the reported deal for Lundqvist's extension...

 

I think this is overpayment even for him. 8.5mil is the same price as a top scoring forward and for a GT I don't think its worth it. He is a really good GT with a .920sv% for his career but this is 1-2mil overpayment IMPO and the length of the contract is 2years to long.

It's NYR. They've been doing this since you were in pull-ups.

It's the Rangers though so they'll make it work somehow.

 

beat me to it Eleven.

With the cap expected to increase significantly in the next few years because of increasing revenues, it's not a bad deal for the NYR IMO. Not to mention, Goalies can play at a high level well into their 30s. They had to lock him up much like they still have to do with Captain Callahan.
