They do not feel stupid . They wanted to round out his game. Feeling entitled without putting in the work is stupid.

What do you mean they wanted to round out his game ...

They sent him to the Ahl because he asked for more playing time and they wouldn't give it to him so he got angry about it and he was right he shouldn't be being playing 4th line minutes

the only reason why he's up here is because they were forced to bring him up

Says who on the first part?

Also I love Timmy. He's a good friend of the family. His move to Russia was all about making money as he has two twin girls. He is coming back to North America next season but most likely in the AHL.

STRIPES:

Somebody posted something the other day I thought would be very interesting to get your take. It has to do with the possibility that Eichel may get "superstar calls," and the prevailing belief that the games best players are entitled to a different interpretation of the rule book than the more pedestrian pros.

A) Does it happen?
B) Is it good for the game?
C) Please explain.

- Der Kaiser


This is a tough one. As an official your goal is to be fair.

With teams having superstars refs do tend to keep an eye out for other teams taking liberties on star players. It's natural. The best players also tend to have the puck more so they draw more penalties.

It's also a respect thing. Rookies that run their mouth aren't doing themselves any favors. Crosby learned that the hard way.

Protecting players is good for the game but that doesn't mean they can't be checked legally.

I know I didn't really answer fully but that's the best I can do.

I will say the NHL doesn't let star players get away with obvious infractions like the NBA does with Lebron and his traveling.

Eating right is like global warming. Some can eat like the food will run out and others will gain weight by looking at a pic of a plate of food.

Yup. I'm 5'11 165 pounds 32 years old and can eat anything you out in front of me. Others can't.

Like I told Gerbes before people have different body types.

It's a shame people don't think Lindholm will be available...

I wonder if Murray could pull of a trade like this.....

8th overall, Mark Pysk, Tyler Ennis, 3rd round pick

For.

Correy Perry, Cam Fowler


If Ennis isn't enough because of concussion concerns I'd give them a combo of Fasching and Bailey but I assume they want a top 6 roster player with scoring touch which is what Ennis represents.

The ducks would want more. ... And I'm wondering do people actually watch duck games because people female dog about Tyler Myers but they want cam fowler

Suggestion was Sidney is a diver, and that Eichel elaborates too. That they get calls this way - when there was no real penalty or "liberty taken" - and don't get booked themselves as often as they should.

Why would I do that?

Pretty sure he knows.

It's also not like he would have been this irreplaceable player had he not went to arbitration.

I am north central European.

As I sit here I am unable to think of a single ingredient, other than fruit or candy, that I wouldn't eat with mayonnaise.

I've always liked Myers better than Bogosian so....

If they want more

8th overall pick (which is equivalent to a top 3D or top 4 Forward) Guhle Hudson Fasching Girgensons/Foligno (they pick) and a 3rd round pick

How about those Bandits? Looks like we have a good chance of putting a banner up this year. Can we just have an all out parade for them? I mean it is a Pegula team...

I need the 5 minutes of my life back that was based around Kessel's eating habits/diet/exercise. This will be a long off-season.
