    Cristobal Huet

    Theodore started 55 games last season? I'm just saying they have to give him every opportunity before they absolutely have to play Niemi to make the playoffs.

    Neil flattens Hedman - then Fights Downie

    The goalie screened him. Hedman was a victim of lack of communication. Ohlund should have been doing everything he could of seeing a sprinting Chris Neil track down his rookie defense partner from center ice.

    Cristobal Huet

    They don't have a choice, they need to play Huet with the money there are paying him. Niemi has looked a lot better, and they will probably try everything to get out of Huets contract.

    Neil flattens Hedman - then Fights Downie

    First thing I noticed is no communication from the Goalie or Ohlund for Hedman. Poor rookie=(. Other then that, that's why I wanted Neil here.

    Penguins win again.

    What flawed logic? None of the Penguin's players are going to be out for a significant length of time. The regular season is long, and a little slump shouldn't be the way to judge a team's performance. I didn't judge the Red Wing's when they had the abysmal start they had, and I think it's silly trying to say the Penguin's aren't good when they have clearly had the best start of any team so far this season. That's all I'm saying. I'm certainly not the straw-man that Mr. Viking Erection is conferring with when he says I blamed all the loses on injuries. Thanks for you're feedback though, it's appreciated.

    I really hope Kopitar can stay healthy. This should be his breakout season, he is an amazing talent.

    Penguins win again.

    Thing is they are still the best team in the league statistically. A couple loses and they'll go down to second place and still 3 points ahead of the next closest Eastern Conference team. While the Red Wing's are still 15th.

    They don't have Malkin, Gonchar, Talbot, or Kennedy. They'll be fine haha. Judging them off a little slump without 4 very key players is a kinda jumping the gun.

    After the game Bertuzzi and Helm need to shoot the puck on net for 10 hours straight haha. They are both playing great though.

    Not a bad shift by Leino, a few more of those and he'll get his goals.

    Eh not a bad call, not much Abdelkader could do either. Let's kill off a legitimate PK guys!

    11/5 GDT: Sharks 1 at Red Wings 2 (SO)

    Great move by Zetterberg, great pace. Two good teams going at it fun game.
  18. Actually I'm pretty serious. He is doing pretty good here, and he is a really nice guy in person. If you are judging him off one mistake then jump off that soap box, because you aren't perfect either.
  19. What's that supposed to mean? Bertuzzi is a great person, you are lucky to even see him play hockey. You should be paying him.
  20. Exactly what my thought process was. Honestly I would never think it would happen. But in the world of if's, I'd have a hard time not letting Forsberg on the team.

    Damn, I'm caught.

    Sorry, Another Crosby Complaint

    It was a very good play at a crucial part of the game. Very good presence of mind by Crosby.

    That depends on the league's definition of 'Automatic'

    They made the rule to weed out enforcers going out at the end of games to send messages that are premeditated. Not to weed out players fighting in the heat of the moment. If you can't see the difference I have no I idea how to convey the message to you. If you think that the NHL manipulates the rules to choose the winner of each game then you have a very paranoid outlook on the NHL. Not to mention they must love the Red Wing's considering how much we've won the past couple decades. There is a clear difference between Jared Boll going out 5 minutes to go in the game and starting a fight then Malkin going out in the last 5 minutes starting a fight. If you can't see the difference you are helpless. They cannot label players in the rule book that's why the clause is there so they can still enforce what the rule is there for. There has never and will never be a player that is in the top 20 in scoring that will be automatically suspended because of this rule. Take off the "world is against us" glasses and understand the premise of the rule. Let's see how I can clearly get you to understand what the NHL is thinking. 1. They had an issue of goons/enforcers sending messages at the end of the game in premeditated acts. It was pretty cut and dry situation that needed to be stopped. 2. They wanted to avoid suspending non enforcers/goons that weren't sending premeditated messages and happened to start fights out of game situations. And they would use criteria on whether or not the player in question had a history of fighting/suspensions. 3. Malkin does not have a history of being an enforcer and racking up the fights, therefore his case was rescinded based on the criteria that it was not premeditated and his history was clean in these types of actions. 4. Byers happens to have a pretty heavy history of being an enforcer, not to mention it's pretty safe to say that he is not a top player and would normally be used at the end of the game to try and win. Also Tortorella certainly isn't an angel when it comes to the NHL rules therefore he wasn't going to be granted any free passes. 5. Logical reasoning is the NHL's goal in this rule, to be honest I don't really like the rule I have no problem with messages being sent, but I'm certainly not going to say the NHL put this rule in with the intention that they would be able to orchestrate game outcomes by choosing who to suspend. Hopefully this helps off to work. Have a great day.

    That depends on the league's definition of 'Automatic'

    No. 47.22 Fines and Suspensions – Instigator in Final Five Minutes of Regulation Time (or Anytime in Overtime) - A player or goalkeeper who is deemed to be the instigator of an altercation in the final five (5) minutes of regulation time or at anytime in overtime, shall automatically be suspended for one game. The Director of Hockey Operations will review every such incident and may rescind the suspension based on a number of criteria. The criteria for the review shall include, but not limited to, the score, previous incidents, etc. The length of suspension will double for each subsequent offense. This suspension shall be served in addition to any other automatic suspensions a player may incur for an accumulation of three or more instigator penalties. When the one-game suspension is imposed, the Coach shall be fined $10,000 – a fine that will double for each subsequent incident. No team appeals will be permitted either verbally or in writing regarding the assessment of this automatic suspension. It's in the rules stop saying the NHL doesn't follow the rules.
