Around the NHL 2017

Injury prone.

[That Aud Smell]

Re Danny Paille, some somewhat encouraging news (and inevitable humour) from a Google-translated news report from a Swedish (?) publication:

 

After the brutal assault of Mannheim player Thomas Larkin, the first reassuring message about Brynä star Daniel Paille was given. On Wednesday morning, Paille was investigated - and now new tasks are coming.

"He has incurred a concussion and is missing at least one week," confirms Brynäs sports director Stefan Bengtzén of SVT Sport.

 

 

It was Mannheim's United States-born Italian national teamman Thomas Larkin who stood for what everyone describes as a real assault.

"Disaster, one can kill someone on that show." We are supposed to play elite riders, but this is "Kalle Anka-level", says Brynäs sports director Stefan Bengtzén about the tackle that gave a stupid end to the match. .

- I tried to talk with their coach afterwards but all he said was "###### !, ###### !, ######!". There was no point, Bengtzén continues to DG.

"Ugly stuff"

Even Brynäs coach Tommy Sjödin saw the Germans describing the incident as among the worst he saw.

- It's ugly stuff that. But I'm not surprised that it happens to just a German team. They have many "wannabe-NHL players" who come to Europe and show stuff, says Tommy Sjödin.

Brynäs won the match with 2-1 and is on to quarter final in CHL.

Google Translate is the gift that keeps on giving.

this is "Kalle Anka-level"

 

I thought I should look that up, and I was not disappointed.

 

Possible American translation: "this is Looney Tunes."

[Doohicksie]

My guess is that Kalle Anka was a prototypical slapstick comedian.

Even better:  It's their way of saying Donald Duck in Swedish.

Leafs injury luck is catching up to them

Leafs injury luck is catching up to them

The broadcast said they have six regulars who have not missed a game in the past two years.

Only 5 man games lost year to date.

Feel like that can't last.

It won't, but plenty of teams have much better injury luck than the Sabres.

 

For whatever reason, I don't know why, the Sabres are seemingly always near the top of the man-games lost list. What the Sabres experience on the regular is fairly unusual for a good many teams.

 

It's why I am so adamantly against the "injury excuse" when it arises: we are always going to be dealing with them.

I've lived in Ontario my entire life but I can't believe the noise about Matthews missing a game. Suck it up princesses!

 

Imagine if he had a high ankle sprain.

Easy to imagine.  For Sabres fans anyway.

Great article detailing early warning signs for some teams in the NHL

I'd say that dynamic top line doing all the scoring is the Sabres problem. Outside of that we don't like bad. lol

Stupid CBC, but I never heard of such a thing as a CBC HNIC video not being available in the US.

 

Anyway, lets try this ...
