Eleven Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Posted March 4, 2020 44 minutes ago, LTS said: And has been mentioned before.. what if that problem is #9? He seems to be better this year.. but in the past there were plenty of reasons to think it might be. It might still be for all we know. I wasn't sure that he should have been appointed captain when it happened and I remain unsure of that now. I would have put that C on O'Reilly and kept him, and let Jack be content being the highest-paid. And I think he would have been fine with it. 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Bogo helped Jake DeBrusk end his scoring slump tonight. Tamp losing a lot of games since signing him go figure. Quote

Zamboni Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 He had quite a night. ... He felt the skate blade hit his eye, but fortunately it just got the eyelid and they took 90 stitches to fix," Lamoriello said. "He'll be fine. It's just a matter of time with the eye opening up." Quote

Really, Lou, "He'll be fine?" It's like they say, minor surgery is only minor if it's not happening to you. Quote

They're not allowed unless you have some sort of facial injury. That much I've never understood. Why would they stop anyone who actually wants to protect themselves? It's not like it enhances their performance in anyway, short of maybe being a bit more bold with shot blocking. There used to be the fighting argument, but as that has more or less disappeared from the game, so that doesn't mean much anymore. The most marketable game in this country has face shields, so they shouldn't be worried about that. And if it is a marketability thing, there are a million other things they should be focusing on. I don't see the need to mandate them, but let them wear them if they want to. What's next, banning the cup? Quote

Because it would all but eliminate fighting; completely eliminate double-minors, and potentially could lead to players playing more recklessly due to their false sense of further safety. Granted my biggest fear would be the NHL furthering down a path that leads to women's hockey rules where hitting is a penalty and it becomes a game of almost pure finesse which isn't all that entertaining. I love the combination of physicality, finesse, and IQ mixing together into an interesting show. A huge hit is far more entertaining than a guy two-hand slashing another player. 2 Quote

Wait.... one of your arguments against is because facesheilds will prevent high sticked players from getting cut? WTF logic is that? Quote
