Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Posted April 2, 2016 Detroit plays Boston, in what will probably determine that 3rd seed, I think Philly is in.
Brawndo Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 NBC Sports @NBCSports 9s 10 seconds ago Report: Pavel Datsyuk may leave for Russia (and Red Wings would be stuck with his cap hit) http://tw.nbcsports.com/LPk
Winston Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Stamkos out 1-3 months with blood clot in arm. Expected to make full recovery after surgery. Think he's played his last game as a Bolt? And will missing the playoffs impact his FA value at all?
Taro T Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Stamkos out 1-3 months with blood clot in arm. Expected to make full recovery after surgery. Think he's played his last game as a Bolt? And will missing the playoffs impact his FA value at all? Wow. In less than a week they've lost their best D-man & best F. They'd better put Bishop in a bunker or they're complete toast in the 1st round.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Drouin call up coming? Good chance. He's been scoring every game in the AHL.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Edmonton currently losing 5-0 to Calgary. Pretty sure they've mentally checked out for the year.
Taro T Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Edmonton currently losing 5-0 to Calgary. Pretty sure they've mentally checked out for the year. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Wonder how Matthews is going to like Northern Alberta? Who will they take w/ the 1st overall pick in '17? Or is that the year they're due to ONLY pick top 4? Always forget if they only get the #1 overall 2 straight years or 3 before having to settle for top 5 for a year. Do they still have any non-top 10 overall picks in their forward ranks? Will they ever take a forward that knows what his own side of his blue line looks like? Enquiring minds want to know. :p
Taro T Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 And Lindy Ruff got his 700th win. 5th coach ever to do that.

JJFIVEOH Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 In all seriousness, Tampa made it to the Cup finals last year without Stamkos.
BetterDays06 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/716497599490973697 Wow Good for him, A coach that tells it like it is. I dont think anyone can fix that team. I really think they need to trade this first round pick for a couple players with nhl experience. In all seriousness, Tampa made it to the Cup finals last year without Stamkos. Stamkos played 26 games last year in the playoffs? Edited April 3, 2016 by EICH15

He's saying Stamkos was pretty much invisible lol While they may have some truth, he had to be game planned against and was on the ice, this year it's gonna be different
LTS Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 The league needs to do it to try to convince the public courts that it is doing all it can to ensure safety. Sure, I get that aspect. But really, there are penalties for the hits, etc. So, call the penalties and let the union handle their own messes. It's easy now for everyone to blame the NHL but the reality is that the players are out there destroying each other. If it were all on their own union to resolve the issues there might be a bit more traction. I dunno, wishful thinking. Long term thinking on another subject... Does the NHL/NFL adopt a style of play where hitting is outlawed or do they go down the path of establishing a rule that says once a player suffers a concussion they will no longer be allowed to play in the league? Can the NHL/NFL establish a waiver of responsibility with the players that basically states: "Participation in this league may result in head trauma injuries that may lead to long-term consequences.. blah blah blah. The league is not responsible for the any head trauma suffered by players, etc." I mean.. at some point scale has to tip and it's either there's no hitting or no responsibility because you can't keep suing a league for getting hit when choosing to play in a league that has hitting.

My guess is that the NFL is heading towards claiming 2 things: 1. Concussions leading to CTE have already happened to it's players by the time they grt to the NFL so it's not the league's fault & 2. Since everybody knows playing football gives you concussions, playing football is a conscious decision to take that risk & it's, once again, not the league's fault. Not sure that'll work, but it (probably) beats sticking their head in the sand pretending the issue doesn't exist. The NHL's leadership is so regressive, wouldn't even hazard a guess as to their strategy LT.
BagBoy Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Edmonton needs a heart transplant They should be relegated down to the AHL.
Sabel79 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Boston is being absolutely taken apart right now. 4-0, two goals in about 3 seconds* to start the second. Good. *not actually three seconds. Whoops, 5-0.
French Collection Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 Kane with 3 points, now sitting at 99. That's a good number in the low scoring NHL era.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 So Detroit has the final spot then with a Boston loss, man that head to head is gonna be Huge!!
SwampD Posted April 3, 2016 Report Posted April 3, 2016 So Detroit has the final spot then with a Boston loss, man that head to head is gonna be Huge!! Hold on. Now 6 to 4.
