My beautiful son logan stankoven will be playing with Dallas tonight and I'm proud of him

has that been confirmed? The pre-game interview I saw earlier with DeBoer made it sound like he was a game-time decision based on the status of 2 or 3 forwards who are banged up atm..

I myself can't wait for Stankoven to get his break playing 11 minutes a night with Faksa and Craig Smith and then all the dumbasses in the fanbase will start whining about how he's not doing anything.

yeah my biggest takeaway is that everyone involved in managing that team is a loving moron of the highest degree

"he disrespected the leaf" is not a defense for assaulting someone

like at least pretend it was a heat of the moment thing, don't triple down on "he deserved it and it could have been worse"

There was a rumour before the appeal that Treliving was going to do a press conference about it, gotta believe that would have been an all-timer if all he had was what’s in the doc

The funniest part of the doc is Bettman going “if he’d just dropped the gloves and punched him instead that would be fine” which… I mean that’s absolutely true but it’s kind of a quiet part out loud thing

That's not even what he said though. People keep bringing that up but what he said in the doc was that Rielly had time to consider his actions and could have confronted Greig "...with a push or a shove or even by dropping his gloves to fight. Had he done so, there likely would have been no need for supplementary discipline.” That's not the same thing as condoning fighting, it's saying that giving a guy a lil shove or challenging them to a fight is much more acceptable than cross checking them in the head. If Rielly had challenged Greig to a fight then maybe they fight, maybe they don't, but at least Greig would've been able to decide for himself.

A slapshot ENG gives Toronto more time to try to come back versus a regular, slower shot.

Sure, but how many “fights” have we seen where the instigator is the only one doing anything and the NHL goes “yep, good fight”. Like I get you, you’re not wrong, but the reason people are interpreting the comment that way has precedent, Tom Wilson exists.

Burke challenging Lowe to a barn fight would have nothing over 45 minutes of “gently caress that guy, we’d do it again”

The sens leadership and coaches apparently got mad at Greig and told him it was uncalled for, which is a massive lol. So thats unlikely to happen

The Sens are a team full of obnoxious pests plus Giroux and they really ought to just lean into it completely rather than try to chase this middle ground

A fight would be a mutual thing, assuming both parties dropped the gloves. Fighting someone who didn’t want to fight would be the same as skating up and cross-checking them.

Malpractice that the Devils have accepted this level of dogshit underachievement this season and haven't made a coaching change. It's not a serious franchise until they do something.

The Devils would have gotten run out of the Stadium Series in the second too if not for Daws, they're first round fodder at best and they've probably dropped too many points at this point because of goaltending/injuries

Ovechkin will end this season with 854 goals, 40 behind Wayne.

Then he'll score exactly 40 next season to tie.

Can't use injuries as an excuse. They have their whole team but Dougie and they got run off the rink by a terrible team tonight in a must win game. They have to make a coaching change. Show that you're trying to salvage the season for christ's sake.
