josie Posted March 5, 2014 Report Posted March 5, 2014 According to someone at WGR, "The Hobby" is worth a couple hours of radio on Saturday mornings. :) Back when the Rehaume thing was current, I remember a friend of mine gushing over it. She was a rock-star Field Hockey goalie and played on some Buffalo club ice hockey teams, but I don't know if she got very far with it. Guess not, she's in the Air Force now. But this is pretty cool from her pictures: That's awesome! 'Round the NHL- Datsyuk out 3 weeks with bad knee. Zetterberg is out probably until the playoffs... But I'll be honest, Detroit is making it a close call to making the playoffs this year. Adjust your fantasy teams accordingly. :( Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 Caps and Flyers just had a line brawl. It was impressive. Quote
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 *squeak* Awesome. Awesome avatar! Quote
josie Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Awesome avatar! Thanks! Made it myself during a fit of boredom at work. Expect pixel goalies soon. Someday. Quote

dEnnis the Menace Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 they really hate each other. I think Caps-Flyers is more of a true rivalry rather than the Caps-Pens manufactured rivalry. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks! Made it myself during a fit of boredom at work. Expect pixel goalies soon. Someday. Are those guys the Hanson brothers? Quote
apuszczalowski Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Are those guys the Hanson brothers? I'm going to guess the French Connection they really hate each other. I think Caps-Flyers is more of a true rivalry rather than the Caps-Pens manufactured rivalry. well the only reason for the supposed 'Rivalry' between Washington and Pittsburgh is the media pushing "Crosby and Ovie, Whos the Best?"

LGR4GM Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Posted March 6, 2014 So the NHL is no longer going to Penalize the Devils for the Kovalchuk contract... Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger NHL will award Devils with the 30th pick in the Draft instead of the 1st round pick as usually determined. Also forgiving $1.5 mil of fine. Quote

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger NHL will award Devils with the 30th pick in the Draft instead of the 1st round pick as usually determined. Also forgiving $1.5 mil of fine. Lovely, 30th would have been the Sabres first pick of the second round Quote

shrader Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 This had to have been the plan all along. It never made sense that Lou kept the pick the year they went to the finals. Now it does. Quote
Hoss Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 This had to have been the plan all along. It never made sense that Lou kept the pick the year they went to the finals. Now it does. No, the appeal didn't come until Kovy retired. I can't believe the league actually did this. The Devils cheated the system twice. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that's ######. Kovy retiring in no way influenced the intent on the part of the Devils to circumvent the cap the first (or second) time. They're unrelated. Yet the NHL bought the argument that the situation had changed, and therefore so should the punishment for the infraction. Edited March 7, 2014 by IKnowPhysics Quote
bunomatic Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 I'm thinking Mike Gillis in Vancouver has to be on the hot seat. Torts might be the first domino to fall if Gillis feels the heat. Quote

The Sabres should appeal to the league to lessen or eliminate Ehrhoff's early retirement recapture penalty. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Sorry that there's no link, but the Red Wings continue to show why they're the class of the NHL and all pro sports with the Lidstrom # retirement. I saw a picture of the dressing room before warm-ups -- where a #5 was hung for every player to wear -- and am off to watch the pre-game ceremony now on Youtube. i realize Dom's a very different guy and situation, but the fact that we're inducting him into the Sabres HOF (but not yet retiring his #) within months of his first ballot vote into the Hockey HOF is weak. #39 should already be in our rafters. also, when thinking of the red wings, i am mindful that they're the club whosxe billionaire owner managed to get what would become a bankrupt city to foot most of the bill for his gleaming new arena. which is to say: i'm conflicted on the role of pro sports in our society.

In the Sabres defense, alot of that is on Dom, and the way he left. Quote

Yet the NHL bought the argument that the situation had changed, and therefore so should the punishment for the infraction. Not only that, but the contract that the Devils got out of with Kovy wasn't even the one that brought on the punishment. There was nothing that could undo them putting together that contract. All the NHL has done here is encouraged teams to find more ways to circumvent. They're not going to punish seriously, so there is no reason not to do it. I'm thinking Mike Gillis in Vancouver has to be on the hot seat. Torts might be the first domino to fall if Gillis feels the heat. The first domino happened last year with the Schneider trade. He had to have been on the hot seat already long before yesterday's game. And while we're on the topic of that team, what did Kassian do now? Edited March 7, 2014 by shrader Quote

But I meant specifically in management/coaching staff. Gillis started screwing up what that team had the day he was hired. Quote
Robviously Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 Yeah, well..... something something John Scott. Quote
Robviously Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 I would be smiling too Tyler Welcome to Dallas. Those are the Star's "Ice Girls." Such a crazy coincidence down here that the best ice maintainence professionals in the area just happen to be beautiful women. Quote
Marvelo Posted March 7, 2014 Report Posted March 7, 2014 I wouldn't be too surprised if Torts get the axe soon. Quote
