CHL, Other Junior Leagues Look to Ban Fighting
Nev replied to Bring Back The Bruise Bros's topic in General
Thanks for not answering the question and pointing the finger at everyone else "doing it" Thankyou for a proper answer. -
You do know Mosely has gone now?

CHL, Other Junior Leagues Look to Ban Fighting
Nev replied to Bring Back The Bruise Bros's topic in General
Question for all those who grew up in the North American hockey system - at what age do kids start fighting? Follow-up question: How do parents reconcile the message of "don't use violence to solve your problems" with "except when you're playing hockey"? Especially in a very liberal country such as Canada? -
Well said. The late Shanahan was probly the last "pure" goalscorer we had. He could barely skate by that point, but he could still finish, and he potted 40 goals putting away Pav's feeds.
-
How many players have suffered all 3 lockouts? Selanne springs to mind, but he can't be the only one. I wonder is someone will fail to make it into the HOF because of the points total they lost under the lockouts.
-
What set Hull apart though wasn't just his shot, it was his ability find space in the slot. Just by moving 6 inches he could find the space to get a one-timer away, sometimes he would do it just by standing still. It was really noticable when he was playing with Datsyuk. Pav would be in the corner doing his thing and Brett would just wait and wait and wait and wait....knowing the puck would eventually come to him.

I never said that you did?

Lindsay beating Feds 3 to 1, so much for the "modern generation" theory.
-
I'm not changing anything, I was just expanding the point about where he ranks in all time centers. Lidstrom would make an all-time all-NHL team. So would Howe. Yzerman probably wouldn't.
-
He was at best 3rd behind those. Most non-biased non-Wing fans have Sakic + Yzerman ranked equally, then you have to throw guys like Messier into the mix, and like I say, thats not including those who played pre-1980 and post 2000. None of that is to diss Yzerman, who as I also already said, is IMO the greatest wing. If I really wanted to put the cat amongst the pidgeons, I would ask where Gordie Howe fits into all this The Captain: The Perfect Human: Mr Hockey
-
Of course it wasn't going to get done with this proposal. This proposal should have been made last season so both sides could have started negotiating with realistic starting positions and been able to go through the back and forth process. It will take weeks of back and forth, especially with such complicated legal proposals. Just to type up a proposal probly takes all day.
-
At last the league comes forward with a reasonable starting point for negotiations. I still don't think we're going to get an 82-game season, but I am hopeful that we will get more than half a season now.
-
This. Lidstrom is the second best defenceman of all time. Yzerman wasn't even the second best center of his era.
-
Thats not quite true - he wants his race fees lavish and rich, he doesn't care who attends. So whether its Silverstone and its 115,000 hardcore F1 fans paying £200+ for a Sunday ticket, or a scattering of fans in China or Bahrain with the government picking up the tab for the "prestige" of hosting a Grand Prix - as long as Bernie gets paid, thats all that matters.
-
Feds with a 2 to 1 advantage over Shanny right now.

Our friend @HockeyyInsiderr lists anti-lockout teams...

Philly have never been afraid to spend big, so its no surprise that they want to be able to wield their financial clout. The team that surprises me is the Sabres, I thought they were losing money hand over fist? -
A WW2 hero, a hockey Hall of Famer, and a Redwings legend :champs: :champs: :champs: :champs:
-
Wow, considering the British league is somewhere between the ECHL and AHL, he should absolutely tear the place up. If the lockout is still on in November I might just be making the trip to Nottingham to watch him play...
-
"Don't be a afraid to lose" is pretty hard to beat. One I've tried to find several times is from around '94 or '95, Brett Hull scores a hat-trick in St.Louis, and it just happens to be hat night. Cue 20,000 white baseball caps raining down on the ice, it was like a blizzard.
-
It just occurred to me that a lost season is Burkies best way to keep his job - they get another top-5 pick without having the trauma of a regular season
-
Hey it was a good goal, whats your beef?
-
This is a great line. When he puts it like that, you realise how much we've lost the last few years Then this I'm guessing that was when Nick retired. What a conversation that must have been
-
Apart from when he signed a big money contract in Russia, which at one point looked like it was binding and he might not be coming back to Detroit.
-
Mickey Redmond v Igor Larionov today, tougher than I thought. Larionov was clearly a better player overall, won 3 cups with Detroit and also scored one of the most iconic goals in RW history. But Redmond was a very good player on a very bad Wings team, but furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, has gone on to be the voice of the Redwings.
-
Because the NHL's original proposal was so utterly outrageous that "meeting in the middle" would still represent a massive reduction in pay and rights for the players. As I said earlier, the NHL's started out not with a basis for negotiation between 2 parties, but an ultimatum of surrender for a vanquished foe. And all because a handful of teams have bad business models/bad markets, and the majority of owners keep handing out bonkers contracts.
