A point of emphasis for who?

Anyone who wants to touch another person without their permission.  It just isn’t worth it. There are no winners here. Not calling you out as an individual poster on this board.

Not what I meant. Since people obviously don't use this skill who is supposed to be emphasizing it or its instruction?

Just seeing that video of two idiots fighting in the crowd and seeing that guy really get hurt reminds me of so many times while I played hockey (many many years ago!), coached for many years, and also when my son was playing, recalling all the parents in the stands cursing and swearing and fighting with each other at games with kids as young as 8 or 9 playing. It is so sad that it leads to that. That video posted earlier is a sad reminder that while these people rarely ever actually hurt each other, there is that chance it could and may happen. They sure do put forward a great example for their kids to follow. No wonder the world is such a angry, dark place these days. Mind you that kind of sad and pathetic behaviour existed long before today...I recall my late brother playing back in Toronto and against other teams in other cities way back in the early 70's and they were fighting in the stands then. makes me sad and sick...and it goes on in other sports too (soccer is really bad)

The Yotes are nuts.  They'll never be able to use him in the playoffs this ... wait ... well, nevermind.  ;)

They needed him to help fill the 5,000th seat and insure a sellout.

I suppose that’s one good reason to roster a no talent 7’2 Logan Stanley. He can simply crush and injure the best player of the team you are chasing for a playoff spot

what a killer for the wild. Far and away their best player, gone for 3-4 weeks

I know, right? 

You can see the point where Stanley literally decides to go for the full-on piggy back, elevating his skates off the ice. He crushes him 

[shrader]

So he humped Kaprizov to death?

I would think player safety should review that but who knows.

Losing a great player like that hurts the Wild and the league.

Looks like a bad injury for McDavid.  Collided with a team mate and was grabbing his knee

Something about hockey protects knees far better than football. I wake up sweating, shouting, gasping for breath after Bills ACL dreams in May.

Turf monster, no? My pure guess is you get more forgiving sliding action on your foot re hockey

Eichel hitting and being hit.

Yup.  Youth sports, especially competitive travel teams, are often ruined by parents.  I’ve have seen some bad behavior too.

Oh fair enough, and not many people should want that, but I posted that for the Eichel getting hit, hitting back and being hit again. Thought some Sabres fans might find that amusing or bemusing perhaps. The fight was nothing really. 

Also, kind of restating how if I was KA I would have traded for Jeannot.
