THAT is why you knock guys on their ass around the net.

Bert's actually DRAWN 2 penalties this period? Color me shocked.

It looked to me like he was definitely looking to fight his last few games up in the show, he just couldn't find a willing partner.

It took a month for someone to call me out on it. At least it happened

Not thrilled to see Leino go, as I don't like to give up on potential, but I guess I can't complain about this trade.

The rule doesn't say anything about blood. It refers only to injury. And if you're bleeding, you're injured. Even if it's just a tiny little itty bitty injury, that's still what it is. Refs can call 4 minute penalties on high sticks that don't draw blood, too, and I really think they should do it more.

I won't even mention my feelings on Burke. This, plainly and simply, blows and is something a parent shouldn't have to deal with.

Comfort/durability/protection/performance really I guess. There's definitely more to skating than just the blades. And like others have said, since you really haven't skated much, DEFINITELY get elbow pads.

How often are you gonna be skating? How long when you do it? It really depends how much you want to spend. You said no "top tier stuff," but do you want mid-tier or low grade s***? I mean do you want a wood stick? That's really where you have the biggest decision to make, I think, is on the stick. You can always find cheap (used if you want) skates that are comfortable. Just get 'em baked. Some places will do that for free when you buy them. For gloves, my personal favorite has been the RBK gloves recently. And for pond hockey especially I'd go shorter than what you think you need? Even in real games, I wear gloves that are about 3 inches shorter than I should be wearing. I'll take a slash on the wrist every now and then for a little more freedom of movement. I'd buy the skates and gloves online probably, hockeymonkey, hockeygiant and stuff have some really good prices. But I'd get the skates in person, just because the sizes are often way different from shoe sizes.

Pretty sure it counts the null votes as votes.

"Sheriff" Shane Hnidy. He actually said that, I forget what game it was, but it was a fight-filled one. Oooh, I got it. Lots of awesome stuff in this video

I think that's one of the best ways to look at it, really. I mean pretty much every one on this team is overpaid this year. But I still don't think Fil is.

Pretty sure it's Teemu. Then Saku. I think. I think Val's down a good way on the list.

Gee, a Swede trashing a Finn, what a surprise Maybe for the kind of discounts we're used to Red Wings taking, Filppula is overpaid. But when you compare him to players with similar contracts league-wide, I'd have a very, very tough time calling him overpaid.

Well, getting your feelings hurt does suck. We have to protect these grown men from that kind of pain.

That would be the most awkward Cup presentation ceremony ever.

I, too, have been one decrying the shootout the whole time. OT was fine the way it was before, maybe add 5 minutes to it or something. But the glow puck may have been the worst idea ever. I think Fox's hockey robots were probably the best idea ever.

Holy s*** that made me laugh. That's what I needed before my exam today I don't get this thread. The Val hate is pretty well being quashed every time, but then someone's gotta grasp at straws and say, "but, but, but... he's bad at THIS!" Filppula's good in the regular season. He's a beast in the playoffs. To me, that's *easily* worth 3 million dollars. Apparently to some of you it isn't.

Wow, great move by Malkin. That was pretty. What a waste. A point's a point, but we ******* need to be getting 2. Have a lovely day, LGW. I'm exiting before all the fatalism really starts.

That's not what the rulebook says. And he did have more than a stride on him. It was a clear breakaway at that point.

Please, Pavs, make MAF look like a child.

I mean, like you're serious though? You're not joking? Me too.

It really can't get any more clearer than that. If that's not, there should never be another penalty shot issued ever again.

You're really gonna blame him for that one?

HOW THE f*** is that not a penalty shot? Great move by Val.
