Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
The Caps are putting lumps on the seemingly hapless B's. 5-0 halfway through the second. Of course, Ovy scored from the left dot on PP.

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
As I said previously, I hope that the appeal ends with a 25 game suspension as opposed to the original 20.Pruezy11881 wrote:So it begins. NHLPA files an appeal for Wilson...

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
I just lost a ton of respect for the NHLPA. I guess Sundqvist threw himself into Wilson's elbow. No way in h*** that POS should ever see NHL ice unless he's a spectator. I agree Jim and I might even go so far as to say his suspension should be for as long as Sundqvist is out. That's 6 mos from what I've read. I think they're being optimistic. I hope I'm wrong.

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
It's a union. Nearly automatic that they would appeal.

Next CBA should add if you appeal and lose it adds games to the suspension.

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
I'm still wondering why a union is only intent on protecting the perpetrator. Last I checked, every recipient of Wilson's dirty hits (and man, have there been many) has been in the union, as well. How does that make sense to any one?Jim wrote:It's a union. Nearly automatic that they would appeal.

If you think about what unions are support do for its members/workers... then why is their a need for groups like OSHA, and why do unions and OSHA conflict so often. Union logic.

Tack on an additional five games every time a suspended player uses the phrase "honest player" in their statement...Call it the Tom Wilson rule.Admin wrote:Next CBA should add if you appeal and lose it adds games to the suspension.

Hockey's equivalent to Bengal Vontage Burfict is in NYC today.
Tom Wilson is appealing his suspension. Going on for a few hours... still watching Wilson's illegal hits.

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
Ovechkin should have a hearing for his first penalty last night and he should have a fine for embellishment at the end of the game. Dirtiest team in the East.

If the Predators have to face the Sharks in the playoffs it will be a short series if they keep taking these kinds of dumb penalties.

No Pens today. I guess I'll hate watch the Lightning.

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
The Flyers will need to sacrifice Gritty at some point to remove whatever is cursing them.
Or they can find competent goaltending which isn’t in the future either right now.

Watching Sharks/Ducks. Brian Gibbons sighting. Can't believe he's still in the league.

Wilson's suspension got reduced to 14 games and he is eligible to return ASAP since the caps are 16 games in.penny lane wrote:Hockey's equivalent to Bengal Vontage Burfict is in NYC today.

FWIW, I can almost guarantee that he will illegally hit someone again. Then there is no reason not to drop the Raffi Torres hammer on him. I don't think he'll learn.

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
Vinny Trocheck probably done for the rest of the year after his leg is destroyed at likely both the knee and ankle. So bad he had to be stretchered off the ice. Watch the replay below, and you can literally hear Trocheck screaming in pain for 5-10 seconds. You can see the Ottawa goalie whip his head towards Trocheck upon hearing the screams:

Bortuzzo passes to corner, deflects off ref Tim Peel's "groan" muscle and into the net it goes. Goal canceled. Owee.

Re: Other NHL Games 2018-19 Edition.
Just watched most of the Craps v. Sabers. Craps won 2-1 with Tom Wilson getting the GWG (ugh). Impressed with Buffalo's speed. They are quick.
Their new GM, whose name escapes me (*cough*), has put quite a team together.
