Doohicksie Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 No worries. It's been a disorienting night, what with the Sabres shutting out another team and all...
shrader Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 He really is. Classy move on his part to check on the goalie after the hit and retrieve his helmet for him. Just tuned in at the end, but cripes, 7-5? More like a baseball score. Here's the collision: And the way Jenner and Tyutin handled it too. It could have gotten out of hand very quickly if they reacted differently.
Doohicksie Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 And the way Jenner and Tyutin handled it too. It could have gotten out of hand very quickly if they reacted differently. So if Lucic had just handed Miller his helmet back, it would have all been good?
shrader Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 So if Lucic had just handed Miller his helmet back, it would have all been good? Yes, that and if he wasn't trying to cripple Miller. It's the little things.

Just tuned in at the end, but cripes, 7-5? More like a baseball score. Here's the collision: Totally agree here. You can see Domi put as much of the brakes on as he could at the last moment too. It's a good hard play by both sides and then class by him to retrieve the helmet. You can tell that both the CBJ players and the ARZ players understood his sportsmanship there.

Very true, and it was good to see the CBJ players recognized it and didn't feel compelled to "send a message". So if Lucic had just handed Miller his helmet back, it would have all been good? Eh... Yes, that and if he wasn't trying to cripple Miller. It's the little things. THIS.
JJFIVEOH Posted December 18, 2015 Report Posted December 18, 2015 A question to the SS hockey scholars. I think Paul MacLean is in the last year of his contract with Ottawa. It's surprised me that Boudreau hasn't been fired yet. I figured that since MacLean is already employed by the Ducks that any compensation to Ottawa would have already taken place. Would his actual title have anything to do with that? Would the Sens be owed draft pick compensation up until the end of December 31 if MacLean were to be named head coach even though he is already employed by the Ducks?
woods-racer Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Any one catch Don Cherry and the Coach's Corner on Hockey Night in Canada? Ryan O'Reilly is a good Irish Boy. GMTM is no longer certifiable for giving him the contract he did. The pimp is a genius.

The other mitigating factor was the location on the ice. One was just outside the paint, the other well up ice.
Doohicksie Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 I don't think we need to over-analyze a sarcastic comment, do we?
wjag Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Erik Karlsson was on the ice for 36:34 tonight in a 60 minute game... That's crazy. He regularly does 30m a night.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 He might be the best player in the league. I think it is just a matter of time until he is a Hart Trophy contender annually. Very likely, IMO, to be a winner.
wjag Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Ryan Miller made it to the first shoot out shooter last night and then tweaked something. He came out of the game against Florida
Neo Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) He might be the best player in the league. I remember the Achilles injury and wondering what might have been lost .... I'm happy for him. Edited December 21, 2015 by N'eo
GoPre Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Big difference in the size of the goalie and the net ... this is from 1991 https://www.facebook.com/NHL/videos/10153166492457466/ Average goalie size is bigger. Pads are bigger. Goal size is the same. It's common sense really. Either make the pads smaller or the net bigger. Can't argue w/ math. By doing one of the two the area of today's goal covered will be equal to the area covered back then. That quickly fixes the goal scoring problem for the NHL.
WildCard Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Remember when we all ripped on the Bruins during their offseason? Fun times
JJFIVEOH Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Ryan Miller made it to the first shoot out shooter last night and then tweaked something. He came out of the game against Florida He said it was just a cramp. Must have had too much coffee. Average goalie size is bigger. Pads are bigger. Goal size is the same. It's common sense really. Either make the pads smaller or the net bigger. Can't argue w/ math. By doing one of the two the area of today's goal covered will be equal to the area covered back then. That quickly fixes the goal scoring problem for the NHL. Make it so speed and quickness is again a major factor in a great goaltender. It's nice to see a mixture of different types of goaltenders. Haven't seen that in years.

Neo Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Apropos of nothing ... I was pumping gas today between Amalie Arena and a fitness center. A very tall man with a gray goatee and Lightning sweats walked by, between the pumps. It was Dave Andrychuk. So much history. Tampa is a small town, not unlike my hometown.

I'd be curious to hear how many people my age and up wear sweatpants outside of the house.

WildCard Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 He might be the best player in the league. I still think it's Kane
TrueBlueGED Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) I still think it's KaneAbsolutely in the conversation. I actually plan on starting a thread on this, but the reason I'd probably lean Karlsson is what he brings from the blue line is without peer. He's transcendent--our generation's Orr. As great as Kane is, I'm not sure we can meaningfully separate him from the Seguins of the league. I really don't think there's a clear answer, but Karlsson's uniqueness does it for me. I remember the Achilles injury and wondering what might have been lost .... I'm happy for him. Same. I do think it slowed him down for awhile, but he seems back 100%. Good for hockey fans.
