Shea Weber leaves game with Injury

Just wear the stupid visor. -
Sedins Sign 4 year $28 Million/piece extension
Pskov Wings Fan replied to Euro_Twins's topic in General
They always sign the same contracts. It does not matter what the "worth" of either brother is. You either sign both to the same deal or you get none. Better question would be is the pair worth $14M per year. -

I should stop reading this. Gamecenter Live is like a minute behind forum updates. -
gdt 10/14 GDT : Red Wings 3 at Bruins 2
Pskov Wings Fan replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in General
Entertaining game to watch. But it feels like only the first line generates offense and the others mostly try to hold Boston off. -
I do not recall anything special about his celebration. Given that he scored 4 goals in one game it was rather tame. And Oates got OV on his team who likes to jump into the glass after his goals.
-
If Rangers do not like opposing team's goal celebrations then maybe they should consider not allowing them to score. If they can't then shut up and go cry quietly on the bench. I never understood this "not rubbing it in" crap. These are both NHL teams with similar payrolls. It is not like Sharks ran over Pee Wee team while laughing at the kids. Listened to the players comments about this goal on TSN. I am with Luongo on this one.

Watched the press conference. What a pile of garbage. The owner seems to take any question as an insult.

Steve Yzerman wants Game Misconduct penalties for fighting
Pskov Wings Fan replied to thegerkin's topic in General
I really would not care all that much if a guy who just put Dats or Z out of commission for few week had to fight after the fact. A player I love to watch play hockey would be gone for a while and instead I got to see a fight between couple of guys who probably should not even be in the league anyway. Does not sound like a good deal at all. -
Steve Yzerman wants Game Misconduct penalties for fighting
Pskov Wings Fan replied to thegerkin's topic in General
I agree. Lost income is much better deterrent against cheap shots than fighting. That black eye will go away soon enough but losing nearly quarter of your annual paycheck got to hurt. -
Devils sign Brunner 2 yrs. $2.5 million AAV
Pskov Wings Fan replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in General
Somewhat surprising given that his preseason was so far unspectacular. But I guess Devils are desperate for offense. -
It does not matter what Kessel was saying. There is just no justification for Scott trying to fight Kessel. Find a willing opponent of a similar stature. Scott was around long enough, he should know that it is basically impossible for a prized fighter to go after other team's top line scorer. Such a fight should never happen and there is little reason to try.
-
but assuming that the second line is Franzen-Weiss-Alfredsson who do we have left for the top line?
-
If the choice is between Abdelkader and Cleary I'll take Abdelkader on the top line.
-
I think you need to look further back into history before talking about shrinking goalie equipment and excessive goal scoring. Take a look at a game from the eighties. 6-4 was not a ridiculous score back then (average was almost 8 goals per game). Currently we are in one of the lowest scoring periods in NHL history. And do the pads need to be so much wider then the leg they meant to protect? Or the catching glove, which would fit a soccer ball?
-
If you want to go cheap you can always buy one from China for about $30. Sites selling them do not seem to stay under the same domain name for long (my guess would be that NHL is fighting them), but there is always one of them around.

New NHL divisions, names, and playoff format
Pskov Wings Fan replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in General
No. All the teams making the playoffs should have a change to win the cup. -
I think with fewer games and larger ice surface (fewer hits) he has a better chance of staying healthy in KHL than in NHL. I do not think Kovalchuk has been injury-prone up to this point.
-
It is fairly clear that Devils were aware of this possibility for a while. And I would not be surprised if the are fully on-board with this including the timing. Who knows, maybe they did not want the fan pressure of having to compete for high-priced free agents if Kovalchuk were to announce it one week earlier. And now they just going to sign some cheap guy fill open roster spot.
-
Makes you wonder about the people coming up with these rules. What would be the reason for tying arbitration and buyouts?
-
The player gets the same amount of money in either case (2/3 of the remaining contract value). I guess Samuelsson do not think that his chances of resigning with another team after buyout are that great. So he want to get his $3M from Wings.
-
He maybe a good player. He has not been great so far and it is not a sure bet that he ever will be. $37M over 7 years is too much for this guy.
-
I am not sure what is the basis for the article stating that Grabovski got a "volatile personality". If it is only because of his words about Carlyle (and only after he was no longer with the team) then I would not give it a second thought. He is a fast skater. I think more speed would be nice for Detroit.
-
Does not make a difference. He was actually born in Postdam, East Germany but it does not make him German (or Russian). His parents are from Belarus, which makes him Belorussian. In Soviet Union there was nationality (ethnicity) record in passport.
-
Radulov is a major star in KHL. He makes like $9M per year. I doubt he would consider leaving and I do not see why Detroit would ever consider signing this guy. He is trouble.
-
Datsyuk and Grabovski played on the same team (CSKA) in KHL last year. They even were on the same line.
