dudacek Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Sedin is about as classy and mild-mannered as an NHL player gets. If he chirped the Panthers bench, you can bet it was provoked by something earlier in the game.
SwampD Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 A crosscheck to the side of the head? It's hard to imagine a worse penalty really. I know his stick was in his hand, but it just looked more like a punch to the head than a crosscheck to the neck, although that doesn't sound as alarming.

If he chirped the Panthers bench, you can bet it was provoked by something earlier in the game. I was watching that game live. It was pretty awesome to get an "old school" bench clearing affair after the game. Mostly pushing and shoving, although Luongo reached over the boards from the bench are started whacking guys with his goalie stick. A teammate saw that and took the stick from him. It was amusing.

Brawndo Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Kopitar is about to get paid Anze Kopitar's 8-year, $80M ($10M AAV) contract with LAK is, finally, in final stages of paperwork. So not officially "done" but very close. Per McKenzie I wonder if Stamkos Deal gets done now that the market has been set.

So not officially "done" but very close. Per McKenzie I wonder if Stamkos Deal gets done now that the market has been set. I guess I don't understand how one year later, presumably with a higher cap, Kopitar gets a half million less than Toews. Hometown discount?
Brawndo Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 And the Preds waived Cody Hodgson I guess I don't understand how one year later, presumably with a higher cap, Kopitar gets a half million less than Toews. Hometown discount? Maybe he took less so both Kane and he could be re-signed?
Eleven Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 I guess I don't understand how one year later, presumably with a higher cap, Kopitar gets a half million less than Toews. Hometown discount? Everything I've read has predicted that he would get less than Toews.
TrueBlueGED Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 And the Preds waived Cody Hodgson Maybe he took less so both Kane and he could be re-signed? You're reading me backwards sir. I think Kopitar is Toews' equal, but the contract says he's less valuable. I'm wondering why Kopitar took less than Toews.

Hockey Central believes Stevie Y is going to take Stamkos until the end of the year and just say ' off' is Stamkos is going to demand absurd things I guess I don't understand how one year later, presumably with a higher cap, Kopitar gets a half million less than Toews. Hometown discount? Because Kopitar isn't as good as either of them? Granted he may mean as much to that team as Toews and Kane mean to Chicago, but Kopitar does not deserve to get paid Toews and Kane level
TrueBlueGED Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Everything I've read has predicted that he would get less than Toews. I have read the same, and I just don't get it.

Granted he may mean as much to that team as Toews and Kane mean to Chicago, but Kopitar does not deserve to get paid Toews and Kane level I think Kopitar is every bit the player Toews is.
WildCard Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I think Kopitar is every bit the player Toews is. Well color me surprised. You know what's actually absolutely insane about their stats? They're nearly identical in every category, including possession and playoff ppg Kopitar Toews Edited January 13, 2016 by WildCard
MattPie Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 And the Preds waived Cody Hodgson GMTM, get on it!
WildCard Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Too bad Toews +/- is twice that of Kopitar. That explains it ;) And the Preds waived Cody Hodgson Probably flicked him off is more like it
thewookie1 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I think Kopitar is every bit the player Toews is.I'd say he's a hair less. If Toews is 100 overall Kopitar is 97 or so. Mainly because Toews has 1 more Cup thus far. Oh and Hodgson is on waivers. Edited January 13, 2016 by thewookie1
darksabre Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I betcha Hodgson clears too. Not with a bang, but a whimper. Edited January 13, 2016 by d4rksabre

shrader Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Hockey Central believes Stevie Y is going to take Stamkos until the end of the year and just say '###### off' is Stamkos is going to demand absurd things I wonder what the market really is for him right now. If the popular idea that he's Toronto bound really is where his head is, the Leafs have nothing to gain by trading for him now. They're not playoff bound, so there's no sense in giving up anything. Does someone else want to bring him on as a rental knowing that they have no shot of keeping him beyond this year? That seems like a tough pill to swallow too.

Oh and Hodgson is on waivers. What? Thanks you, Jesus! He is the worst g.d. player on the Preds by far. I can't take watching the guy any more. I don't ever want to see that guy in the NHL again. http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nhl/predators/2016/01/13/predators-place-cody-hodgson-on-waivers/78734106/ Edited January 13, 2016 by Potato
