The Blackhawks are revealing their independent findings at 2. This oughta be good, regardless.

What's all this?

I wanted to ask you:

Do refs have favorite teams league wide you think? Kucherov low bridges Sobotka and nothing. Cernak gives Dahlin an elbow to the chin, not even a call by the league. Cozens gets drilled high by Stammer...nada.

Seems to be a pattern. Whether it is conscious or not, I wondered how much bias you thought existed in the league.
- QuinnFan

I wish I had a good answer for you on this.

Do star players get different treatment? Yes it happens in every league, every sport. Is it done on purpose? I don't think so, it is just a natural habit I think.

Am I the only one who finds absolutely nothing entertaining or funny about Marshawn Lynch?
- sbroads24

probably

I'd love to read a source on that.

I believe Paul Hamilton also said that on GR. I remember it coming from one of those guys and i think it was him.

hm. Interesting. wiener jumped the GM and went to Awesome Guy Terry and said fire this guy and Awesome Guy Terry went to Kyyvyyn and said fire this guy and Kyyvyyn said ok Boss.

If memory serves me, the reports were that Ralph felt threatened by Taylor and ran him off.
- Slump Buster

This makes 100% sense.

Pegula's were probably chosing between the 2 when ralph was hired.

I heard there was no conversations between the 2 for the entire year....

Oh I remember this now. They didn't say this exactly but I think it was sparse communication, and like a month or two with no convo.

suck a bag of diks, Ralph.

DeBrusk is for money and we can say bye bye as he is a UFA at the end of the year and Kravstov can be flipped or just might fit here.
- Buff36

So what does debrusk do for the Sabres? And who's gonna want Kratsov?

I feel like there is some natural instinct to keep games close.

Also, certain teams making the playoffs help the league.
The league pays the refs.....

Bottom line is the bottom line.

Don't you want to clog up the Sabres middle 6 forward talent?

Lynch in small doses ie. commercials, is fine and usually gives me a chuckle

Ask any NYR fan, they’re still gonna get around 9th OA value for him.

But don’t ask them to put that logic to Eichel. It doesn’t work like that

Yeah, it could be wrong about the year, but they definitely didnt talk hockey like a normal franchise would...

Most franchises try and play the same system....
So call ups are fluent...

Who wouldn't. I guess.

A third round pick would be solid value to provide. What actually matters is the player's overall attitude towards development, how he is in a team setting and how or if he's going to put the team above himself.

I don't know the guy but just his actions alone, even after what was said between management and the player, that he may be unwilling to play the way an organization wants him to play. Lazy on the backcheck was said.

With all that being said, and only knowing the player/person on the surface level, and the amount of skill he's shown thus far.. do you want that guy here?

the guy was such a (frank)ing snake. I'd pay good money to see some of the conditions in his contract.

Al MacIsaac (VP) is casualty No. 1.

Proud draft pick of the Buffalo Sabres

A lot of the pegula's hiring decision's are based on the employee's likeability and trustworthiness.

They fell for ralph and his B.S.

He was %100 in the process of jumping botts to upper management status. His coaching stint was to evaluate the players moving forward and appease a certain former captain crybaby.

They have been grooming kevyn for a number of years.

Likeable and trustworthy

Florida is going to have to find themselves a new coach I think...

Stan Bowman has resigned

Stan Bowman is casualty #2

gators or panthers

let's see how this carries over to USA hockey.
