i like how the coach of the team in white is screaming at the other coach to take control of his players and to not let it happen when his players were the ones attacking the team in red over the boards

Two Canadian college teams, the Acadia Axemen and St FX and a very eager cell phone fight announcer. WOW, what a view. A little Scotty vs Crawford flavor at one point. Again, headphones as you know, hockey language NSFW Another view and preceding fight:

Well, I suppose we could stop giving away free health and life to the masses n' stuff and spend that $ on a few choppers and some night vision goggles instead.

The Canadians helped the Allies win WWII. They stormed the beaches of Normandy with the Americans and Brits. They have millitarily earned the respect of the international community.

Canadians seem to have an inferiority complex due to their lack of a real military.

https://theathletic.com/788636/2019/01/28/from-ridiculous-to-realistic-21-potential-targets-for-the-islanders-at-the-trade-deadline/ An article on The Athletic on potential trade targets, specific to the Islanders, but could relate to any deadline buyer... Gustav Nyquist, Red Wings: Probably the most attractive name on the list of rental forwards. He can still score, second on the ugly Wings with 43 points so far, and he’s also a power-play producer. He would improve the Isles team speed, which has been surprisingly good but could use a boost. And, like some of the pipe dreams, he’s a right wing on a team fairly devoid of them. Detroit has a desperate need to sell and so little in terms of what it can realistically move, though, so a second and a mid-range prospect would most likely be the cost. Or a couple of seconds. Not ideal for the Isles, but perhaps necessary, even if Nyquist only stayed for a couple of months. Nick Jensen, Red Wings: The Islanders don’t appear to need much on defense. Toews has made himself a regular and Pelech has steadied enough that the Isles can be patient with Hickey, who may not be back from a suspected concussion until close to the trade deadline. That would give them eight defensemen including Luca Sbisa, seemingly enough to take them down the stretch and into the postseason. If the Isles were to move Pelech in a deal for a forward, then the need on D becomes a bit more urgent, obviously. If there is a need, it’s for a depth right-shot player. Jensen, 28, fills that role, though with rental depth D-men usually in demand, the Isles could get priced out for a player who should bring back nothing more than a fourth-rounder or so.

A ton of playoff experience? He's started 47 playoff games since '09-'10. Last season he played more than 3 playoff games was in '12-'13. Last playoff game was in '15-'16, when he lost the first two in the opening round before being replaced by Mrazek. I agree he's a proven starter, but he doesn't have a ton of playoff experience for a starting goalie in his tenth NHL season. He might be a bit rusty... If he won't be resigned, you gotta take whatever you can get. If they are planning to resign him, no point even moving him, unless he plans to come back July 1. 2nd rounder would do it for me. You think Calgary will definitely look to trade for a goalie before the deadline? Why is that?

Sucks, but for a life time Wing about to hang up the skates, I think respecting his wishes is the right move. I wouldn't burn bridges with a lifer who sacrificed his body the way he has for a 3rd, 4th, or 5th round pick.
