bbp Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Man Minnesota has been tanking like no other... they just past us and now sit 27th in the league, losing their last 3 games and are a steamy 2-7-1 in their last ten games... At that rate they may catch Edmonton and move to 28th! With their play and the play of teams like NYI and the unpredictability of teams like Toronto, Tampa, Anaheim and Carolina... I think we could slip out of the top 5 draft picks :/ Quote

Commandant Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Minny is scary As for the rest we have a bunch of games where they play each other. We have to stop grabbing points though. Minny and the Isles will go D though Quote
bbp Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Top 5 was a wet dream. We don't have and never had a top 5 draft pick team. I completely agree that our team is way to good to be this low. But... now that we are down there might as well be DOWN there. Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I remember there being tons of question marks about him and being more excited about Kirill Petrov, who the Islanders got in third round. When he comes to the NHL he's going to be huge for the Islanders. Quote
DON Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I completely agree that our team is way to good to be this low. But... now that we are down there might as well be DOWN there. i think they are doing their best by playing Campoli lots and allowing Budai to get a few more starts, but Markov seems to be making up the difference and Budai is playing fine. Maybe fate will land the Habs a better #6 pick than the #3 turns out anyways? Quote
JoeLassister Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 What's up with Keith ? No hearing yet ? That was cheap as ######. Quote
Commandant Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 What's up with Keith ? No hearing yet ? That was cheap as ######. There will be a hearing but no rush because hawks are off to Sunday. Quote
dlbalr Posted March 22, 2012 Author Posted March 22, 2012 It'll be a phone hearing, 5 games or less. Quote
Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Kyle Chipchura scored a goal. Looking at Phoenix' roster, it's seriously the island of misfit hockey players. Chipchura, O'Sullivan, Brule, Torres, Langkow, Smith. It's crazy. And then you got Ray Whitney quietly having one of the most impressive seasons for any player in the league. 39 years old, 70 points, +25, Top 15 in NHL Scoring... who would have guessed? Quote
lazy26 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 It'll be a phone hearing, 5 games or less. Now there's rumblings that it may be an in-person hearing? Quote
dlbalr Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Now there's rumblings that it may be an in-person hearing? Yeah, this one is getting a little odd...wondering if they're reacting to all the hubbub around the incident. Quote

Its still crazy to me that Vrbata has 30 goals. As for their team, shane doan would be a great UFA to steal. Maybe he wants to play with his cousin. Quote

JoeLassister Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 5 games for Keith Fair enough. Good call. What a useless hit that was. Quote
Trizzak Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 5 games for Keith I thought that since it was supposed to be an in-person hearing, the minimum would be 6? Quote
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Personally, I don't think 5 games is sufficient to deter such behaviour in future. That was obviously a deliberate attempt to injure. As far as I'm concerned the NHL is completely f*cked up on these issues. Start giving guys 20 games and you'll see these brutal plays stop overnight. Quote
dlbalr Posted March 24, 2012 Author Posted March 24, 2012 I thought that since it was supposed to be an in-person hearing, the minimum would be 6? Nope, it just gives them the ability to suspend beyond 5. Quote
Commandant Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I thought that since it was supposed to be an in-person hearing, the minimum would be 6? no minimum for in-persons. Only rule is max five games for phone hearings. Personally, I don't think 5 games is sufficient to deter such behaviour in future. That was obviously a deliberate attempt to injure. As far as I'm concerned the NHL is completely f*cked up on these issues. Start giving guys 20 games and you'll see these brutal plays stop overnight. Agree 100% Quote
Commandant Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Brian Gionta's brother, Stephen scores his first ever NHL goal today. Gives the Devils a 3-2 third period lead on the Sens. Quote
JMMR Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Brent Sutter let go in Calgary. and on to the WC Quote
dlbalr Posted May 2, 2012 Author Posted May 2, 2012 This isn't playoff related so I'll post it here instead, Calgary signs Roman Cervenka to a 1 year, $3.775 M deal. You may recall the name from a couple years ago when it was reported that he and Jagr were a package if Jagr was going to come back to the NHL. For those in fantasy pools, put this name on a sleeper list next season. Quote
