inkman Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Thats a joke. Should be banned for life. It's as close to right any pro hockey league ever gets Quote
X. Benedict Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Gillies suspended 12 games Im surprised he got that much. Quote
darksabre Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Thats a joke. Should be banned for life. It's better than the NHL would do. Quote
LabattBlue Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 It's better than the NHL would do. Agree, but slamming a guys head into the ice multiple times is as bad as it can get. Much like the NHL, it's all about the result(Carrier wasn't hurt), and not so much the action. Banning a journeyman goon for life should be a no brainer. Would there be any opposition to it? Quote
LTS Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 The AHL does not consider NHL actions when taking into account suspensions. As I read it, briefly, Gillies actually was pretty clean at the AHL level. I am sure there is some kind of limitation they can impose and there are the constant challenges to the suspensions and so on. Still, if the players and leagues were serious about cleaning it up entirely they would do it. I would ban him for the season and let someone argue why he should be allowed to play. Nearly 700 games he has 3,000+ PIM and 11 goals in the AHL? Give me a break. He should take up MMA. Quote
Brawndo Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 Grigo impressing Corey Pronman @coreypronman 7m7 minutes ago Grigorenko looks so much more comfortable at the pro level. Set up a good 3-5 chances on that powerplay. Quote

inkman Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 Can't wait to take my newborn to see Grigs. I keed. :) Quote
Johnny DangerFace Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 Man has grigs (and armia) really improved since last season. If those two can make it, this rebuild will be a lot more smooth hopefully Quote
LabattBlue Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 McCabe sent down, but doesn't play in place of Leduc or Austin? I don't get it. Quote
chileanseabass Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 McCabe sent down, but doesn't play in place of Leduc or Austin? I don't get it. Not yet 100%. I think I saw he'll be back Wednesday. Quote
inkman Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 Not yet 100%. I think I saw he'll be back Wednesday. Then why is he still not on the Sabres collecting NHL $$$ on IR Quote
LabattBlue Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 Not yet 100%. I think I saw he'll be back Wednesday. Thx Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 Well i was against grigorenko going down, but now I'm very much cool with keeping him there for a month or two atleast. They need to get this ###### straightened out with the sabres first. Quote
chileanseabass Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 Then why is he still not on the Sabres collecting NHL $$$ on IR I think it's a matter of being fit enough to play if he was really needed, but with some extra D available and ready to go in Rochester, there was no point in rushing him. That said, if I was McCabe I'd rather collect the $$ and sit in Buffalo. Quote
Grinder Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 I really wish Directv would broadcast these games. I'd watch just about every one. Quote
Hoss Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Did I hear correctly that the AHL is experiencing with calling icing on the penalty kill? Quote
shrader Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Did I hear correctly that the AHL is experiencing with calling icing on the penalty kill? If they are, I absolutely love it. Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 I wish they would do a slightly different type of icing on PK's. You just have to be outside your zone to ice it not over center ice. As it stands right now I don't get why you can ice the puck on pk's it has never made sense. Quote

shrader Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Ugh, no; I love how a brilliant point man can make all the difference by keeping it in. That would still happen. Teams aren't going to stop attempting to clear the zone even if an icing call comes with it. Quote
Eleven Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 It will cut down on SHGs, too. I like everything about the way it is. Quote
darksabre Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Eliminating icing on the PK will shift the balance towards the powerplay too much. While the powerplay can be a game changer, I can't imagine the league would want it to be the entire game. Quote
Hoss Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 I think that would be a good move if they really want to add some offense. One rule change I really want to see: when a penalty shot is awarded the team should also get the two minute PP if the penalty shooter doesn't score. The fact that they don't is stupid. Intentionally bringing a guy down on a breakaway should result in a worse penalty than a regular one, but some might say it's better to just bring him down then let your unprepared goalie face the breakaway.
