At least it wasn't against a poo poo team like after ~gonefishinggate~

It just struck me this morning that Hayden is the first player to score his first goal against the "St Pats" in almost a century. That's kinda neato.

"I don't actually like hockey, but I love cheering on my favorite team with my bros! Suck on that Olympics!"

That's what I read any time I see criticism about Olympic participation.

Melnyk is right, there is no benefit at all to teams having guys go play in the Olympics

his reasoning behind it is really dumb though and they're going to have to deal with players who just say gently caress you I'm going and ditch their NHL teams (maybe...not sure this would happen but the Olympics are a big deal to a lot of players from countries not Canada or the US)

I see this as another Richards scenario, potentially. A good loophole to get out of a bad contract via some sort of violation.
Hrmm...

I think there will be one or two - mostly younger guys on low value contracts or maybe the odd star that's good enough he can tell them to gently caress off and get away with it but it's not going to be a large scale issue.

Well we know at least that Ovechkin and presumably any other potential Olympians on the Caps roster will get to go unless the league itself sanctions them, though Ovi could probably afford to not give a poo poo about that either with a fat stack of KHL cash surely waiting for him if he wants it.

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

N: Alexander Wennberg won't play today due to a stiff neck which resulted from a questionable cross-check/head first into the boards hit by Ryan Strome.

V: No penalty was called on the play. Good job, NHL. :downsbravo:

CBJ/NJD summary, in case you missed it:

-Sedlak (PS, SHG)
-Jenner (SHG)
-Henrique (PPG which is challenged for offside and man it was close. Could also have been challenged for goalie interference which also would've been close.)
-Anderson awarded a penalty shot being tripped by Dalton Prout. (e- Play is reviewed for a possible goal before the penalty shot would've been necessary).
--Anderson is injured and Torts is initially approved to replace him with Sam Gagner. Hynes argues and is right for what it's worth, so they force Torts to replace him with Dubinsky.
-Dubinsky (PSG).

I argued he was going down yesterday but even the NYI announcers were saying "Strome took him in pretty hard...".

I was thinking something more along the lines of a former Lake Erie Monster having lightning strike twice against the Caps organization. Werenski sticks out as a candidate, but Bjorkstrand's been scoring lately, Anderson has 16, Sedlak has a few...

He was actually somewhat positive, which is why I remember it so distinctly.

Most Caps fans bury their pain in ironic comments about Game 7s, Kawalimus just lives the despair we all feel.
