I really think the idiot broke his hand on Klingberg's helmet... he went in on a partial break last night and let a muffin of a wrist shot go. such a stupid fight that meant nothing at that particular point in that game

This is my read on that play as well but I doubt PAS are going to buy it. Doesn’t really matter.

Just like a high stick the intent doesn't/shouldn't matter and he hit the player with his elbow in the head and caused an injury that meant the player missed the rest of the game. It's stupid bullshit that causes injuries and long term brain damage that the league doesn't give a poo poo because lol forever at 'player safety' Edit: it just seems insane to me that you have to be in control of your stick at all times no if ands or buts (other than the follow through of a shot) but flailing elbow gets a pass rex rabidorum vires fucked around with this message at 17:31 on May 12, 2022 |

pseudodragon posted:The NHL does care about its stats. The NHL also thinks it’s stars are Tom Wilson, Brad Marchand and other “tough guys” because that’s what makes hockey hockey. Those are the real men that people watch playoff hockey for, not wusses like that crybaby Crosby and that complainer McDavid. This is unironically pretty much what the league office, DOPS, and NHLPA believe.

I fervently hope to see a healthy Crosby in Game 6 but if he's concussed enough that he can't make it then he's concussed enough that I hope he retires. CTE is not a fire anyone should play with. You've done enough Sid, please walk away so you're still around and able to enjoy joining us in celebrating your career in the decades to come. Malkin was completely out of control in the third period last night and I'm genuinely kind of worried about what he might do in these next two games. I think there's a pretty good probability that his agent has already worked out a deal in the KHL for next year, in which case Malkin knows this is the end of his NHL career anyway and he has nothing to lose

Ok sure but they aren’t going to implement that rule change in the middle of the playoffs. You are also never going to convince the league to put the onus on the hitter when “keep your head up” is still the prevailing thought.

I don't want Sid to retire just yet but if he wants to take next year off so the Pens can get Bedard I'm ok with this

Look, I am all for Pitrsburgh’s stars retiring and the team starts tanking. But I know what you all are secretly advocating: Crosby, Letang and Malkin all retire, Pittsburgh tanks and gets Bedard next year. And I am here to state , if that happens, it would confirm to me that God is both real, and a vengeful , merciless god who only wants suffering and pain.

I would rather continue to watch Crosby play hockey for the Penguins for at least a few more years yet. Realistically the Pens probably aren't getting Bedard in any scenario. If Sid were to retire though, sure, at that point it doesn't make sense to take any other tactic but to blow it up immediately. I really hate the thought of a 50 year old Crosby drooling in the press box and if the Penguins have to enter the desert a year or two early to help prevent that, so be it.

Have we considered the possibility that Crosby was actually elbowhunting Trouba with his temple and the Rangers are the real victims here?

https://twitter.com/DownGoesBrown/status/1524819309536722945?s=20&t=sT3fhHemTbmy1Zhwm4K_1w So this Leafs core is: Bad after a win Awful when leading a series Winless with the opportunity to advance Said this in the GDT but I think their best bet is that some playoff nonsense happens and Tampa just comes out like they forgot how to tie their skates. I don't believe there'll be some sort of turnaround, punctuation mark effort where the Leafs prove all their haters wrong, I think they just have to hope for the non-zero chance that the Lightning just forget how to play hockey for a day. It's not impossible!

It’s just been this last fifteen years that the absolute choke imperative has descended. Yeah, the Gilmour squads were probably the best of my lifetime. They had depth and a good top 6, and a good head coach. They also got screwed on a superstar call, although ultimately if they'd won the next game it wouldn't have mattered.

Both of those teams give them problems. Then again the Rangers also gave the Pens problems coming into this series and it hasn't played out that way for the most part so who knows.
