Good blog Michael. Risto vs Manning hits it's obvious that either: 1) Manning deserved more games or 2) Risto deserved less.

Regarding Crosby, methinks that somebody is going to take justice into their own hands. Maybe the Sabres should bring back Peters for the next Pens game? Peters likes to go after wimpy little wussy cats.

Crosby nutted a dude then in the next game literally cuts a guy's finger off.

If the NHL doesn't want to discipline, that's fine. But then they wonder why Crosby gets head-hunted.

All in all, Crosby is by far the dirtiest star player I've ever known of. Claude Giroux said that every time he took a faceoff against him in the playoffs that one season, he (Crosby) would just slash him in the wrists and pull the puck back. Giroux had DOUBLE wrist surgery that off-season and hasn't been the same since.

Did anyone see the zoomed in picture of Methot's finger? It's nasty.

What's worse is that all Crosby had to do was take 1 more stride and check the guy or lift his stick. Instead, like 99% of the league, he lazily slashed a guy and took a finger-tip off.

His finger was LITERALLY chopped off at the tip, a good half-inch. That's 1.27 CM, Canada.

I actually just read a comment suggesting that it was Methot's glove fault for the injury, it was sub-par. These Pitt fans are very sick people.

One of O'Reilly's testes was the primary shooter?

Lmao, right. By that logic, Crosby got concussed and PCS from the hardened soft tissue that always hits the back of his throat at a high velocity.

The Senators must be like those poor kids in the mighty ducks movies, using magazines for pads.

Probably shooting blanks after that shot to the junk....

What I am saying, is if you're going to compare hits, do the Reilly+Hansen and Manning+Guentzel hits. Risto's and Mannings hits on Guentzel shouldn't be compared, they are completely different hits?

As for NHL DOPS logic, I can't answer that, because I think they are completely out to lunch with 99% of all suspension lengths/lack of suspensions on things IMO deemed worthy of suspension.
- Codes1087

I totally get that they're different and we obviously agree that DOPS are DOPES.
So, lets have a beer!

Thats kinda where the NHL is going, isn't it? back to the 70's.
call up some gorilla who has zero chance to make it in the NHL to ruin the season for Crosby.
....even LESS people will watch hockey when it reverts to "the WWF on ice."

Which would be ironic because any casual fan I know of only watches for the fights.

So I guess we just signed Johansson to an ELC. Let the Petersen squabbles begin.

Edit: May just be Rochester signing???

He signed an ATO with Rochester. They also signed two other guys.

Really? A Sabers fan is going around saying he hopes someone puts Crosby into a vegetative state. But pens fans are sick people because one idiot blamed a glove? Glass house.

Lawrenceville sucks and so does the Cantina, now go back to 42 1/2 street and comb your beard.

This thread is far more accurate and paints a better picture and also sheds some light on the effect (positive and negative) that bylsma has had

huh, actual analysis instead of "LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! TERRIBLE!" Like that (frank)ing Leafs moron.

Redskins announced they signed former Rams wide receiver Brian Quick.

Bills gave up

What? Who the (frank) is that even?

I've at least heard(good things) of Andre Holmes, who averages ~14 yards a catch I might add as well.

The single worst thing and also best thing about advanced stats is that different people who study them have differing opinions on what area's are most important.

You get different opinions, which is awesome, but then brutal takes like saying he's worse than Kulikov

What is this world coming to when I'm siding with Steve Simmons? (It's on that dude's timeline or whatever the (frank) you call it on Twitter.)

Quick had a pretty good year for the Rams a couple seasons ago, but was shortened by injury. His average catch is double digit yards. He's big and strong, but just never lived up to potential. Was decent last year I think they said he had 40+ catches for them.

Nothing spectacular, but not a nothing guy either.

true.
Although i have met plenty of fans of other sports who think hockey is "too violent."
I think it looks like slapshot to a lot of people.
