Aube-Kubel got 3 games


By the NHL's screwed up logic, that's a 4 game suspension since the match penalty equals a game ... or at least that's what they generally say. For a guy with no history, that's pretty stiff. I feel like repeat offenders routinely get the same 3 games for the same kind of hit
 
Columbus is bad, and losing Werenski and having Laine in and out of the lineup doesn't make them better. They are going to get their coach fired.

If the Columbus fans thought they were a Johnny Gaudreau away from being a playoff team, well, I don't know what to tell them because their overall D stinks and their goaltending is still not good.

Boone Jenner was their #1C. That is the equivalent of the Canes putting Jordan Staal between Aho and Svech.
 
I know that and you know that, but Blue Jackets fans are a lot like South Carolina football fans. It only takes a glimmer of hope for them to get that swagger on.
 
The Rangers have shipped Ryan Reaves to the Wild for a 2025 5th round pick...

LOL ... a 5th round pick is a ridiculous overpayment for one of the absolute worst forwards in the game.

Being a native South Carolinian, this is true. Some say we're cursed because we eat fried chicken at tailgates before the Gamecocks take the field. I went to the College of Charleston, and we have no football team - but in SC, you divide along USC and Clemson partisan lines.

You can trace the unrealistic swagger from a historical context. Prior to the Civil War, someone once said "Poor South Carolina. Too small for a country and too large for an insane asylum."
 
Börje Salming passed away today at the age of 71. He had ALS and it all went very fast.
Yeah, awful news. Salming went through so much anti-Euro crap from the Canadian press and always just powered through with dignity. A friend of mine with ALS just went into hospice care. It's a nasty, nasty business.
 
A former neighbor with ALS just moved into assisted living as his condition has deteriorated. He’s hung on four or five years at this point. His wife is a rock.

Horrible disease.
 
Did you see in Vancouver, that now a high stick is only called if it results in an injury?
Over simplification the rules were applied as written.
Linesman called the double minor high stick. there was no injury Therefore It can't be called. As linesmen cannot call a single minor High stick.
Now the ref explanation of such is well.. terrible.
