A game that they pretty much already won. Whoopty-do. He pretty much got no punishment.
- Retinalz

Sedin goal made it 5-3. 5 minute power play upcoming. Team known for blowing 3rd period leads. Game was still within reach.

Only 111 this week ....pathetic ...waive him
- Redmile247

Yeah, the guy has pretty good conditioning.

Ahahaha you're using weight to determine what's a fair fight?? I probably have 60 LBs on floyd mayweather. Not sure I'd like my chances
- SameOld

ffs any pest, agitator, whatever label you want to put on a sh1tdisturber, plays a style of game where they sometimes have to answer the bell.

Dorsett is laughed at by half the league and you don't think that was a fair tilt?

Any chance Komorov was jawing with Dorsett?

In theory, I agree with you. This is a rational argument but it fails to take contracts, business and personal relationships into account. Nothing is black and white. Hansen took less money because he wanted to stay in Vancouver and the NTC was leveraged by Gillis.

I'm all for asset management, and hansen may waive at the TDL, but it's selfish and naive to suggest we run him out of town because he has trade value in a no-win season
- Max.Betts

Hansen has a limited NTC. He can't say no to being traded, he just has some control to where he goes. Full NTC/NMC is where you can say no to a trade.

Just because I thought the NHL would suspend him has absolutely nothing to do with whether I liked it as a hockey hit or do I think guy should need to fight for every single big hit they lay.

And btw, its (frank)ing stupid that guys "have" to fight when they crush a guy.
- SameOld

Not when it's an illegal hit.

Can you stop pretending it's a legal hit?

- SameOld

so you thought it was dirty/illegal/suspension worthy from the comfort of your tv but hansen is supposed to determine how the league will adjudicate a FIVE MINUTE MAJOR PENALTY when thinking about whether to seek immediate retribution.

keep dancing.

Dorsett isn't much of a fighter.

We're kinda having private family time in here.
- Marwood

Without vantel ...

Dorsett isn't much of a fighter.
- golfingsince

thankfully he's acknowledged it to himself and fought accordingly. there is absolutely no need to get your face caved in every game b/c the team doesn't have a legit heavyweight. (and no i'm not advocating dressing a goon).

The NHL department of player safety disagrees with you. They must be downright wrong.

You're right. Thank you for the clarification. When do you plan on changing the original ruling?
- SameOld

The Department of Player Safety deemed the hit OK? Why didn't you say so?! This changes everything, they always get it right.

Without vantel ...
- Redmile247

we're planning the intervention.

Trade the twins there too and pay half their salaries, take back the Grabo contract and the Kulemin contract, that's what they should be doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- LeftCoaster

I think we just became best friends.

Yeah, the guy has pretty good conditioning.

Very impressive run he is on ...looks like a keeper

Remember when Gionta was a dirty scumbag and needed 20 games for this?

I think we just became best friends.

1) Barzel
2) Beauvillier
3) Dal Colle

People don't like Dal Colle because they say he can only produce on really stacked teams. But he is doing well in the AHL.

And here's to Think the islanders got Barzel and Beauvillier for Griffin Reinhart.

That Trade
- classic321

If Del Colle was acquired Bieksa3 would poop his proverbial pants.

Okay so I got a little carried away.

Excuse me Mr. SameOld, how about packing up and going back to the leafs thread.

Thanks for understanding

- Redmile247

Yeah, and they had a good draft this year.

Tunsil, Howard looks like he could become a good corner if he can get healthy, Drake and Grant both with return TD's this year. Even Caroo should contribute down the road once Stills moves on.

Need a draft like that focused on the secondary and LB's......throw in a guard.

No, it reminded me of "Step Brothers".

Just ban the f*ck, he's been here all day after both Yeti & Dozzer told ALL Leafs fans to stay out of here. No warnings, zero tolerance.

Enough is enough, for the love of lemmings!!
