Looking at the stats, I believe he should have.

14 minutes of ice time in the first two periods, 0 in the third... 7.75 more years!

I thought this was him getting benched twice over but that was Gaudreau getting benched the other night.

Tkachuk is really the only one making it out of all this, isn't he

Look, you have no idea how genuinely sorry I am that the Edmonton Oilers just didn't turn out to be what you wanted them to be.

They didn't turn out to be what any of us wanted them to be when we welcomed them back in this business; gave them a second chance.

It just. Didn't. Work out.

quote:

A man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson, whose neck was cut during a match.

The Nottingham Panthers player was injured by a skate in a match against Sheffield Steelers on 28 October.

The 29-year-old was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A post-mortem examination confirmed he died as a result of a fatal neck injury, South Yorkshire Police said.

The force said detectives arrested the suspect on Tuesday, adding that he remained in custody.

I see he played 4 games in Oct. and that was it, and news is a little hard to search now because of the latest news.

I don't even know what I'd do if I were Dubas. The Pens can't rebuild even if they wanted to. Kinda stuck until the core retires.

Guess I'd consider trading Guentzel for a haul. I've been adamantly against that but if they keep going the way they are there's really no reason to hold onto him.

https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/teams/dr00007475.html

I'd hate to see Guentzel go but after looking at this link - getting more first rounders is probably a good idea sooner than later.

I guess you can't really count the last few years just yet but I had no idea they've basically been mute in the draft for almost 10 years.

Arrest and expulsion from ice hockey

In September 2014, DeSmith was arrested for assaulting a woman who either was or had formerly been his girlfriend. He was suspended from the team immediately after his arrest, and he eventually was permanently dismissed.[6][7][8]

DeSmith accepted a plea bargain on December 4, 2014. He pleaded not guilty to all charges against him (including domestic abuse) with the exception of a single count of disorderly conduct. Under New Hampshire law, "disorderly conduct" is considered a violation rather than a misdemeanor.[9] He was sentenced to a $124 fine and 12 months of probation.[9] He also signed a diversion agreement that included community service, which would lead to all charges being formally dismissed after 12 months. DeSmith met the terms of his plea bargain and stayed out of further trouble.

He was never reinstated as a player for the Wildcats, although he continued to be enrolled as a student, and he did not play anywhere else all season.[9]

DeSmith applied for a waiver transfer, so he could play for another school, but the NCAA denied his request. According to DeSmith, several other schools were interested in him.[10]

Just saw this on twitter... Nathan Mackinnon has 27 points since the last time Huberdeau got a point on November 30th.

The worst contract in the NHL has a chance to go pointless for all of December if he doesn't get one tonight.

I feel like there has to be a point soon where they just stop playing him if it's that bad.

Well that was quick.

To be honest maybe it was good he took whatever weird bump he did in practice before actually playing in a game and getting hammered by somebody.

The Olympic announcement is so weird to me, I feel like the NHL has pushed hard over the past decade to never go back to them and instead do their own thing.

Then just randomly one day Bettman is like "hell yea let's go to the next 2"

Rough part for the Pens is that they have a decent goal differential, the goals just haven�t lined up into a winning record

Literally anytime I've checked the goal dif. by conference it's always just a line of green and then red, but the Pens are looking to change that this year

Will be too busy the next few days probably to really watch for it but godspeed Guentzel if he gets traded :patriot:

I've seen mentioned that Guentzel could be back with the Pens but I don't see it.

Especially depending on how he plays with the Canes - I don't see why he wouldn't go for the big bucks Mega Contract this summer.

The Pens/Flames battle for top 8 will be dull and uninteresting and I'm here for it. Was also hoping Montreal could go on a little bit of a tear, but -46 goal differential probably indicates otherwise

Also Huberdeau still has time to continue his streak of scoring double digit goals on the season, a remarkable feat.

As a Wisconsin Badger I'm a massive Pavelski stan. He would have won the Conn Smyth in 2016 if the Pens didn't shut him down in the finals and the Sharks won. Also he very nearly had a breakaway in the 2010 Gold medal game right before Crosby's OT goal. If, and this is a huge loving if, those two things broke the other way I'd take Pavelski.

Wow, I haven't heard about him at all lately and he's old as hell but still scoring just fine.

I'm rootin for the Canes to make the finals because the Pens get a first if they do that. Other than that I don't much care. I guess it would be cool to see Nashville win or see McDavid win a cup

Yeah the Canes winning would be nice for them, I still want to will an all-canadian final into existence sometime in my lifetime.
