Yeah good luck to the NHL trying to fine all the teams whatever amount of money over players leaving. Bettman is such a oval office

E: also it appears I was too hard on mcelhinney, he's doing pretty good

Other than the Caps, has anyone actually said anything about what they'd do?

I'd imagine the Flyers and Leafs who's ownership have approximately a fuckton of money riding on the Olympics not being full of scrubs wouldn't mind their guys showing up and salvaging some ratings/ad money.

Canada and USA hockey won't take any NHL guys because they get NHL money themselves.

I would not read too much into this.
If Hockey Canada and USA Hockey both say "we won't pick NHL players", the temptation to go for gold will overcome the desire to grow the KHL again. Besides, the oligarchs probably can't afford to pay for an Ovie these days.

Oh yeah, I'm not at all concerned. I just think it's hilarious that the guy is like, "....or you could retire from the NHL!"

Also I'm already looking forward to getting super irrationally mad at the NHL DoPS when they hand down some totally overboard length of suspension on Marchand a week or whatever after crosby does the same + worse. :v:

Habibi: Dec 8, 2004; We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

N: hey, an update on Thronton and Couture, let's see how things ar-

quote:

Couture spoke about his ordeal immediately following his injury, when a deflected puck knocked several teeth from his mouth in Nashville on March 25.

“Right when it happened I went to the Nashville room and their doctors and dentists did a great job trying to basically save my teeth,” he said. “They had to move a lot of them around obviously from the impact of the puck. They were all shifted in my mouth. They did a great job at that time to try and save them.

“I went to Vanderbilt hospital, and they brought a guy in there to put what is called an arch-bar on my teeth to try and save them. …It wasn’t really a surgery, it was just kind of a procedure that they did.”

The damage to Couture’s mouth was not localized to his top or bottom teeth.

“They’re all damaged,” he said. “A lot of these teeth are going to be taken out at some point once the season is over. They’ll have to remove a lot of them from my mouth.”

“It’s basically temporary to have some teeth in my mouth. That’s pretty much it. If they took them all out now then I would be almost toothless.”

Couture’s timeframe to return wasn’t anymore specific than the one offered by DeBoer, as he hasn't skated yet. The good news is he said he hasn’t lost any weight, and he is again able to eat some solid foods, although he has to chew his back teeth only.

Why would Toronto fans be on suicide watch? It's year two of a rebuild. Leafs fans should be happy even if they don't make the playoffs (but they're likely to make the playoffs anyway).

Sam Morin actually looked pretty solid for Philadelphia tonight and did a good job to get back and stop a Taylor Hall breakaway without taking a penalty. He's shockingly fast for as huge as he is.

Toronto fans are for once not going to be too hard on the team, I think, because if this is our first year back from a rebuild we have good things to come.

CBJSprague24: Dec 5, 2010; another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

Pittsburgh/CBJ in the first round is going to be a battle of a team with a Vezina goalie and strong defense stuck on a quota of 1-2 goals per game but has given up an ungodly number of bizarre/unlucky goals of late against one which can't stay healthy but still has the embarassment of riches in Crosby, Kessel, probably Malkin, and Murray on the ice.

From my side, all I can say is I hope the old man gets that scoring thing fixed or this is gonna be a real short trip OK HIT IT!

Isn't full face protection, by rule, only for guys with an injury and they have to get rid of it when they are better
