That was Tuch retaliating for the cheap shot Tkachuk got away with on him earlier. I forget exactly what he did now, but he took a few strides to hit Tuch away from the play and there was no penalty called.

This explains everything as to why he wasn’t signed in the offseason.

Actually if you watch a little before the fight Tuch started it and I like that he did. 

Actually, if you watch a little before that, Tkachuk started it earlier in the shift out in the neutral zone by taking a run a Tuch long after the puck was gone.

He tried to take Tuch's head off with a Slapshot style flying elbow.

New Jersey is freekin fast.

Yep. I think that’s conveniently overlooked by some who want Tuch to be the root of why everything devolved into the ugliness it did. I’m not surprised Tkachuk wasn’t fined or suspended. But I am disappointed. NHL…. You disappoint me!

They gotta keep up these old school commercials, so good

Anaheim ties the Bruins with :15 left and then wins it in OT.

Avalanche win streak comes to an end in Pittsburgh.

It’s hard not to like that’s for sure

Sens lose again, to the Isles in regulation.

Both teams can be passed with a Sabres win.

Someone else mentioned it, but the Bruins are paper tigers. Their season started with wins over the Hawks X 2, Preds, Sharks, Kings, and Ducks. Hardly a murderers row or Vezina contenders.

Maybe. but Tuch went after him and gave him a nice check off the hip. Brady was mad cause they were losing AND cause of the shoulder pop or stinger he got earlier when he left the ice. 

Not excusing him, but a guy like that, it's going to happen. You just deal with it.

Yup. Offensively challenged. DeBrusk is doing nothing. Good goaltending and D has carried them but they cannot score much and likely that holds all season.

Maybe Karma caught up with the Sens though.

Nah, that was was a separate non related cheap hit from Clutterbuck.  Tkachuk level scumbaggery. 
 

FWIW Brannstrom is up and moving “extremities” according to a report this morning.

Don't look now but the goalie who couldn't play has two shutouts in a row for TBL.

So, now the '72 Fishies just need the Knights to go down to be able to pop the champagne corks again.  😉

I always like it when the defending champs start out really strong the next year. It validates their cup win even further and creates a compelling “champs till proven otherwise narrative” - such to the level that once they eventually get taken down in the playoffs it’s a bigger accomplishment for the team that does it, more dramatic and compelling: or they win again and the drama increases exponentially

Pay no attention to Buffalo’s placement: look at Vegas for jeepers sakes.

But the extremity of SJ undoubtedly points to a horrid team

They are horrible, but overall that doesn't match up with the standings.

Because he gambled? Probably the dumbest s*** ever.

Plus it wasn't even his sport.

They maybe were holding off on signing him because they knew he had a potentially long suspension coming his way.
