    Waived Harding because he kicked a wall and their goaltending has been shaky ever since, their 2 only superstars had to deal with much more important stuff and the team" is to easy to push around, ( wings West)

    Mike Yeo (Wild) Has Meltdown At Practice

    That guy has lost his father not long ago, his team plays like crap and Yeo has only screaming is a last answer. No one would like to go to the ring under that circumstances

    I think Yeo will be fired or at least on a short leash

    Don Cherry is great even as a euro myself I wish we would have s someone like him calling out clubs that have more foreigners than national or local heroes. I mean Toronto had the whole GTA area and yet they didn't draft a kid from there till the later rounds so yeah the team needs to be called out on that. good point about Kessel I believe some media pricks think being an extroverted personality is more important than being a top 10 scorer each and every year. Puckdaddy did have a nice comparison last week:.what if Kessel and Patrick Kane roles would be reversed? Feschuk should feel lucky that he is still allowed in the locker room do that stuff in Detroit and you are banned.

    McGratton on waivers

    Not a surprise obviously the league has the best 700 hockey players world wide. Reminds me a lot of a young Kopitar! Cooke is a rat always was always will be . Weber is a decent fighter but he never goes against other big guys .would loving seeing him against Prout, Lucic or Reaves.

    Not trying to offend you but isn't the DEL considered one of the lesser leagues in Europe? Outside of the NLA, SEL and KHL there seems to be a huge drop down. But that Draisaitl kid should be very good Would you be fine with a guy like Reaves? He does it all just like Nolan

    So if I'm understanding you right, you aren't against fighting because of hating it you are against it because of health concerns? Let me tell you if a player doesn't feel like doing it he shouldn't. Tie Domi, The Grim Ripper are former enforcers who are doing very well if life now. Stu is an attorney But you are right it's an incredible tough job hence why I'm having so much respect for these guys

    Would you guys be happy with Jordan Nolan? He does it all a and is a great fourth liner

    And you are wondering why we European fans and players are having the reputation of being *******? It's their decision if they know what they are getting themselves into so be it. As a German you should know how much some leagues are sucking - outside of the big 4 - , a rougher playstyle would go a long way off making things at least watchable again. the nhl has never been that boring but they are approaching that territory in rapid fashion: hip checks almost gone, Stevens like hits gone, Kronwalled? almost gone next up fighting? Sounds like an interesting league doesn't it... Basically the SEL just with more skill.. Kliq: I'm just not interested in watching UFC the entertainment in hockey fights is so different << fans are fired up teammates come together, the atmosphere is electric It's like doing bungee jumping the testosterone is at its peak and people who watch it are loving every second

    1/10 GDT : Red Wings 1 at Capitals 3

    Team better starts focusing on Columbus this game is over

    Randy Carlyle relieved of his duties by Leafs

    I think the main reason is he doesn't give them any stupid quotes like Lupul. Kessel does let his actions do the talking but hey if they hate him Kessel would look good in a winged wheel

    See we aren't that different then. The only small difference is a that I don't mind staged fights between two willing players, if it helps them paying their bills and enjoy a very wealthy life more power to them.

    Good and fair question to be honest I will be unhappy and all that stuff but I am not a bandwagoner and jump ship when times getting hard - great coone track by the way - I became a wings fan back when this team was great and tough and they have brought lots of joy.. So yeah that's basically it But I am not going to say sorry for wanting payback when people try to take advantage of the wings. I have a question for you too.. Can you honestly tell me you didn't like seeing Downey beating the hell out of Laperierre? The whole team read fired up they came together and stood up for each other so you really don't like that stuff. Is it to hard to understand that our stars and small players shouldn't have to worry about all the rats in the league and focus on their game?

    Thank you was about tho post this but you've already done so ☺ The let's make hockey as *** as other sports crowd won't be happy till every team is as soft as the wings and hitting gone from the game. Heck t those are the same guys who think Kronwall should hit less instead of more... So I'm not surprised

    McGratton on waivers

    Well said :-) Some people won't be happy before every team is as soft as the current Wings edition and hockey turns into a non contact sport. Somehow I'm starting to hope that Lucic snaps and maybe then the ever so funny OT spammers will change their mind but I'll doubt it. Sadly Reaves, Bourdelaux, Scott and Thornton are the last remaining enforcers.

    Yes I do who is protecting Johnny hockey, Monahan and Bartschi now? Is big Ern a goal scoring machine? No nor a defensive stud but he is a damn good team mate loved by the fans and an absolute gym freak with great work ethic. Hope some team claims him and then others have to respond, fighting is part of hockey and needs to come back

    Sad day for hockey, this league is quickly becoming something it shouldn't be. I hope he finds a place on another team, or a job in the front office somewhere. What af****** league it has a place for rats but no place for great energy players and like Burke said I'm sure all the ******* greenpeace folks are happy now. Of course the softest team - which not long ago used to have the HW champion - in the league willk pass so I'm not getting my hopes up. How the hell does Burke not step in here ? He is the president and should overrule the GM in that case it's a bad day for hockey

    Randy Carlyle relieved of his duties by Leafs

    The lazy Kessel is top 10 in scoring without having a number one center. The Toronto media hates him because he doesn't talk add much as Lupul and of course his former coach knows how Kessel is now.. Ich But hey if the guy is such a problem send him to Detroit and put him on Pasha 's wing This player beat cancer, is shy, scores 30+ goals every year and yet he is blamed for Torontos problems this town would criticise Stamkos if he doesn't score every other game just crazy

    Yup sure so their kids, loved ones could get bullied under that 24/7 microscope. Just look at Kessel the guy is rightfully pissed with a reporter and what is a freaking headline on TSN, Torontosun and SN seriously not his 18 goals (teamleading by far top 10 NHL...) no that he called an idiot an idiot is the mainstory *lol* Also Leafs-Nation seems to think that changing the coach alone and getting rid of their best player will bring them to the promised land ya sure. Had the same conversation with a good friend of mine a few minutes ago, he told me "you do know we are going to get Babcock so why not now? We have the money the Wings don't") needless to say I've reminded him on WHO the top spenders were pre-salarycap and that we have the best owner in all of sports. The job there is for sure a challenge and maybe Babcock likes such an amount of pressure but If I where him I'd go to Pittsburgh and coach them to another cup. At least he told me the Leafs might bring up Orr and McLaren which would make him and me very happy because it means the Team is actually fun to watch again. If Babcock leaves for the Leafs what a pun I'd prefer Hartley, Blashill or Hitchcock

    Best advice I think if you are r espectful and know that this is enemy territory all should be fine. Wear whatever you want and have a great time sadly the Joe won't there much longer I envy you wish I could go there seeing a game before the bulldozers are coming.

    I think Lemieux or even Burkle himself said that the payment is for 2 years but the contract - under the "right" circumstances - is for 1 year. so I wouldn't count them out so easily. Sure, it is all speculation and click-bait but at the end of the day the only one in the driver seat is Babcock himself. He has all the options can wait and then decide what's best for him and his family. but if I were him Toronto would be faaar down that list. Just look at them calling out their best player *lol*
