crosby purposely hit someone in the nuts and chopped off someone's finger over the course of two games.

hot take: it's ok. it's actually fine

Marchand slew footed a guy then scored a hat trick against the Pens the next game so I figure we're even on this one okay

What attitude problem?

Melnyk on the radio posted:

“You do anything that’s almost a certain injury and I think the only way to do it is you wipe the guy off the map,” Melnyk told TSN 1200. “Not one or two games, (but) 10. How about a season for a few of these guys? He takes my guy, I take your guy. That’s my attitude.”
“The guy that creates the injury should be sitting out; they should watch the games together for the rest of the season. That’s the kind of attitude I have. There’s no room for that.”

“So that’s the only way to do it. You hammer these guys. You take away their money, because they all understand money and you simply say, ‘you’re done for 10 games,’ and guess what, you guys are not going to get anywhere close to the Stanley Cup if it’s an elite player on the other side. There’s no room for it in the NHL.”

Even as a Penguins fan I agree that the league/DPS should do something about these kind of slashes, but Melynk is such a gently caress so whatever.

inherently good
Maybe this should be a bit like a high sticking double minor. Sure if you slash the guy maybe it's nothing but if you explode his finger maybe you should sit a game.

Then players will exploit the rules and explode their own fingers on minor slashes to knock someone else out for the game.

The coolest part of the Melnyk rant is that it's not his first one railing against someone on the Penguins. I seem to remember him ranting endlessly after someone (Cooke maybe) sliced through Karlsson's achillies on accident a few years ago.

Melnyk views his players as property, so any right opinion he comes to is by virtue of hosed up logic from a lunatic. There is nothing lucid or of value in the things he says.

Both Buff and Morrissey missed part of the 3rd period last night, and the Jets have recalled Brendan Kichton from the Moose. Which means that there's a chance that the Jets will play tonight missing six of their starting seven defensemen. The tank is on.

Kichton was a regular healthy scratch for the Moose. The Jets are icing what would be a very bad defence at the AHL level.

He's gonna draw a gun from his pants as he enters the neutral zone, shooting two defensemen and the goalie on his way to the net to ensure he scores and wins the game.

Crosby's got gambling debts.

Winning the Cup twice, Olympic gold twice, and World Championship wasn't enough for Sidney. No, he wants something more. He wants human trophies.

So don't be surprised the next time you see Crosby sporting a necklace of ears.

Crosby will decapitate Ho-Sang for taking Lemieux's number. The refs will just stare and eventually let play continue as Crosby holds the head of his latest victim. Tomorrow, it'll come out that the decapitation was deemed a good hockey play, resulting in no discipline towards Crosby.

"goaltender interference" on this play that Fleury wouldn't have saved if no one else was on the ice

Also any contact that occurred was from a player outside of the crease who was pushed into Fleury by a penguin d man

But of course, none of that matters

The Isles still managed to win in a shootout despite that disallowed goal. So they get the 2 points they deserve but lose the ROW if it comes down to that.
