how did this ever-sober-individual get there in the first place? No. Bettman's on front covers, Fehr on the back. Both asses.

that's too funny But surely a good move by NSH management - it's supposed to give them another inch winning these saturday games. if it goes well this season, they might think about wearing a full mask of their predator for, say, sunday-after-church games. sure wins - as opposition will just die laughing.

Wrong. putin doesn't give a flying phuck about hockey, let alone Russian professional hockey players. He is nowhere near to be in position to put his own words to Fetisov mouth. Who is Fetisov anyway?! It is worse than just that, unfortunately. What putin cares about is power. He created a system when individual has a much better chance to succeed in life if you close to these in power. To get closer or into, in turn, one has to be noticed and appreciated and once you got close/into, you want to stay around forever. That system effectively surrounded putin with bunch of sycophants who would kill each other to get to master's ear. Fetisov, unfortunately, became one of those lickspittles... He got into power long time ago using his celebrity status. Now he lives to stay around. And one sure way to achieve it is to sense political tendencies and come up with some ideas (doesn't matter how crazy or brilliant) that support those tendencies. It is very popular in Russia to hate anything and everything American. I'm sure Fetisov knows that his idea to ban young Russians from playing in NHL will sound very good to putin. And even worse part of it: Fetisov truly believes it will work for the best of Russia and young Russian hockey players...

Where's this number from? This site say it's just a bit north of 1mil: http://stats.nhlnumbers.com/teams/DET?year=2016 Never mind. Should've read thread to the end.

he can now fully concentrate on making Canada Olympic diving team. good riddance!

No, they should realize there some more Canadians to be picked up. otherwise they would be gone, sure

What about 2010, 2011, 2012 ?

No, it is not. It would be very weird and flawed if you feel otherwise - like "give them all the Cup in rotation for participation, let them feel it!

and that's what is called karma. i bet this ****** broke the same wrist, he was trying to opens Miller's face up with. i hope he survive and will never come that close to the Cup again.

It is understandable for Kucherov, he must still feel dizzy off that vicious hit by Kronwall, but what happend to other two?... Karma's catching up, I guess.

What'd you expect with such SCF?!

Good! Thank you, you restored my faith to humanity!

man, and after these morons some f*** from NBC wants to ban playoff beards?

I wonder if this despite or because of such Chairman...

How could doubt Chairman?!

None!

patrick "20 cents" kane is a punk, tyler johnson is a piece of s*** and jon cooper is a lawyer! what a SCF!

Obviously, he does. He either doesn't care or has not enough power to overrule. And, assuming worse, he actually is behind/supports.

the choice is which team winning this series will make me sick the more... the answer is: both. not watching this series, not worth it. (afterthought: hope Yzerman never wins the Cup outside of Detroit Red Wings)

I hope it implies some consequences for our little Gary. (nbc should be pissed off by playoff game rating of 0.8)

Ducks win - :bad: Hawks win - :bad: win-win situation...

King Henrik!! HA-HA-HA!! I wish! it going to be even better - ducks vs bolts negative ratings on NBC - they going to kill Gary (I hope)

Yeah, he is as good as Iginla. Talented, cheap, dirty *****. Hope he will never touch the Cup (same as Iginla)

It also means reading tweeter is a waste of time.

it's not fair... i wanna see lawyer whine...
