Aura Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Getting ahead of the season with something a bit different. I think Subban is a total dick on the ice but this was quite something: $10 million donation to the Montreal Children's Hospital.Meanwhile, one of our Chicago studs is figuring out how much cash he'll need to pay the woman he may/may not have raped...At least the hawks re-signed Marcus Kruger. My faith in the 4th line is restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister X Posted September 23, 2015 Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Yeah, hoping the change of scenery does him some good. Not sure he will ever live up to the salary they're paying him though.... Edited September 23, 2015 by Mister X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister X Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 $3 million Sounds about right for a number 5 defenseman. http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2015/10/red_wings_to_pair_kyle_quincey.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Raffi Torres suspended 41 games for a shitty pre-season hit. Good riddance to bad trash.Zack Kassian suspended without pay after being involved in a bad crash (though i don't believe he was driving), headed to "level 2" rehab-type help.NHL admitting Coke may be prevalent in usage by players.Gonna be a fun season.....lets get the games freaking started, need to focus on some real hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 What do y'all think of the new 5 minute 3 on 3 overtime? Seems like it is going to suck and guys are going to be exhausted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 it's better than a shootout, but otherwise, bleh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 ^^^ What Dan said. The only thing I like about it is that it showcases HOCKEY skills, not just shooting skills. But since I hate shootouts (mainly because the Bruins suck at them many years) I'd take this over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Not liking the idea of 3-on-3 in OT. Seems really unnecessary. Not surprised that the Rags got the best of Hawks last night... banner presentation, strong opponent, new players needing to mesh. But apparently, I missed some interesting things happen during the Sharks/Kings game:https://cdn.streamable.com/video/webm/x2l0.webmand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 The best part was owning the Kings and scoring five goals at their opening night. Good start with the new coach, new captain and new goalie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm a bit glad the Bruins got rid of Lucic. He DOES tend to play better in contract years, but he was somewhat neutered for much of last year, definitely floated a lot. Also very emotional and still a bit immature as that clip showed. It's too bad, because when he's truly on, he's fucking amazing.Now, THIS year's Bruins. Well, if they don't start getting their act together, it's gonna be a LOOOONG year....they will improve over a pitiful 6-2 opening day loss, but I'm not sure how far they'll go.

Aura Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I don't understand that second video. It looked like the guy starting the fight was pissed because he missed a massively dangerous hit?It's because [and Todd I mean no offense] Lucic (the guy who got hit) is an immature little bitch and decided to retaliate. It's hard to tell but he basically threw his elbow into that guy's face at the bench. I am also glad he's no longer with Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 On another hockey forum I'm frequenting everyone seems to be in love with 3-on-3 OT after seeing Lightning/Flyers finish last night. I don't get it... every game is going to end with a break-away goal with no real challenge.https://cdn.streamable.com/video/webm/w0l4.webm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) No offense taken, Bryan. I called him immature as well (though I said "a bit" and you're probably more accurate).Loved Lucic when he was "on," not so much when he did stupid shit like that. And he was doing that more recently, especially during/after the Habs beat the Bruins in the playoffs two years ago. EDIT: BTW, Lucic was probably pissed that the intended recipient ducked down and (in Lucic's eyes, not mine) undercut Lucic. That's considered "bad code" in some aspects. Brad Marchand did the same thing to one of the Sedin brothers back in 2011. He was trying to avoid a hit, but it was potentially dangerous in and of itself. That said, my thought is good for you if you duck the hit, as long as you don't purposefully try to flip the other guy over. Marchand was borderline doing that, the guy who did it to Lucic was purely avoiding a hit. It was Lucic's momentum and awkwardness that sent him overboard.

skullguise Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Wow, great stretch Bryan. I had to count the Isles' players to make sure it wasn't a power play!Bruins are looking ugly still, but you can see a bit of hope that this won't be a season without ANY wins. Definitely a rebuilding year, and our prospect pool is getting filled pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
