LTS Posted January 17, 2017 Report Posted January 17, 2017 Size appropriate pants is the first step, and it was supposed to be implemented in time for the beginning of the season, but there were issues with manufacturers, etc. so it was pushed back. I also misread your post as pads and not pants. Less dubious changing pants than pads... I do remember the pants problem. :) It's been a rough day. The Sabres better not let me down tonight. Quote

Iron Crotch Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Watching the Preds - Canucks game and.... DEREK GRANT JUST SCORED! ... but it got waived off because of "the intent to blow the whistle" which is complete b.s. Blatant example of a ref changing his mind after a lengthy review and screwing over a team. The ref never even put a whistle to his mouth and emphatically signaled good goal. Sorry, Derek. :( Edited January 18, 2017 by Potato Quote
Brawndo Posted January 18, 2017 Report Posted January 18, 2017 Islanders have asked permission to talk with Gerald Gallant. Quote

Sabel79 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Boston absolutely imploded tonight. That was fun to watch... Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 https://www.nhl.com/news/bryan-bickell-of-hurricanes-taking-life-with-ms-one-day-at-a-time/c-285859704?tid=277548856 Brian Bickell diagnosed with MS, he hopes to play again but I think he should just focus on his quality of life.

WildCard Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Depending on the severity, hockey is not the sport to be playing with MS. You lose coordination, your thoughts wander, and you can go temporarily blind for a few seconds with MS. Not at all good things for a speed driven contact sport Quote
Randall Flagg Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Just saw some interesting stats: Vanek has 31 points in 34 games this year and his points-per-60 is second in the entire league, behind Sidney Crosby. Quote

Doohicksie Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 My wife's a Detroy-It fan (and we used to live there), so I watch my share of games. He's basically doing exactly what Hossa does for Chicago. Power play specialist, extra guy out with the goalie pulled, designated goal scorer. He's doing well with it. (Kind of what Moulson was doing for the Sabres while Jack was out.) Quote
pi2000 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 Safe bet that the guy's having a terrific year, I'd wager. And he's currently on a one-year deal (his previous 3 year deal was bought out by MIN), so at 33 he's playing for what is likely his final NHL contract. I expect him to get moved to a contender (ANA? LAK? WAS?) at the deadline as he's only making $2.6mil. Quote
Stoner Posted January 19, 2017 Report Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Just saw some interesting stats: Vanek has 31 points in 34 games this year and his points-per-60 is second in the entire league, behind Sidney Crosby. That was always the, dare I say, metric that I pointed to back in the day to try and show how Vanek was in an elite group of forwards in the NHL. You had to compare apples to apples with ice time, because Lindy was too big a bonehead to understand what he had in the guy. Plus, he was Austrian and apparently didn't muck and grind enough.

Randall Flagg Posted January 20, 2017 Report Posted January 20, 2017 The Coyotes have sent Anthony Duclair to the AHL I doubt Chayka's willing to sell low, but I'm sure GMTM and everyone else are inquiring. Quote
pi2000 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) We're going to play a 30min 3rd period here in ANA. It's a school night! Edited January 20, 2017 by pi2000 Quote
pi2000 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Posted January 20, 2017 Zadorov with an egregious turnover late in the third gives ANA the game winner with 2min left on the clock. Other than that, Zadorov looked solid. Delivered a few big hits, held his own in a fight, and moved the puck well. Quote
Ducky Posted January 21, 2017 Report Posted January 21, 2017 The Blues starting Copley in net this afternoon....he played 24 minutes in one game last season.....not sure how I feel about that. Quote
