Saw that too. Kyp has been there 20+ years.... The local TSN sports radio network had some changes too recently with long time personalities being let go. Apparently the big contract Rogers/Bell signed for hockey rights in Canada isn't proving to be as fruitful as anticipated.

https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/report-pierre-mc-guire-removed-from-nb-cs-top-nhl-broadcast-crew-212256963.html While personally surprised he lasted this long, The Monsters in HUEL may need a rebrand.

But they could toss him in the category of "not being a good role model" which allows them some discretion. not sure if and what they'd do.

wonder what the NHL will do....

Don't forget he's now second highest paid person on team....... Second line center is his ceiling and probably third on competitive teams. Good deal for him though. 22 year old I think.

I agree. It's probably not worth it for us. Could possibly make a case if it was in Ottawa where he would be the only offensive threat but burns eats too much of his opportunities. imo

I don't know how they can afford that. leaves them with under $30mil and only 9 people signed. Going to need some vets to take some hometown discounts....

It's not banned. It's a penalty. Just like tripping or putting the puck over the glass. Just a higher number of minutes in the box.

I suspect they are just hoping to reduction to 15 range to safe him some cash. Perfectly fine with him losing the appeal.

Play a god damn competitive sport and then make a comment. You can hate on Marchand all you want but there's at least 30 other guys in the league that would have done the same thing. Lars isn't a 15 year old. He knew what he was doing and got what he deserved. Marchand isn't the snowflake. The new group of hockey who want fighting out are the real snowflakes.

Lol. Amazing

no issue with him getting suspended for the actions.

perfect. so take hitting out of the game too. maybe remove the puck as well. it tends to go really fast and give goalies concussions.

Lol. Not even remotely comparable.

maybe badminton is more your sport then....welcome to hockey. Nothing wrong with what he did and it's been like that for years.

taunting = consent You want to be a troll and add insult to injury. you know what is going to come of it. No different than a perfectly legal hard hit to a superstar. You know you will have to defend yourself.

might be some bad blood from Lars days in MTL. Definitely no issue with it if Lars was taunting post 7th goal. Be humble next time. It's the first game of season.....

Vegeta just had an orgasm.

Thought this would be a fun little topic for opening weekend...... Mcdavid has over 130 points! Leafs easily win president's trophy but don't make the cupfinal. (Congrats to Nashville who beats Tampa) Laine gets 50+ goals and 50+ assists. Miro Heiskanen wins the Calder.

Thank god the offseason is done!

weird. Totally thought PK Subban was going to be named captain.....

Don't worry. Lots of time in the season for them to be outclassed!

Is montreal's full roster actually a full roster though? Lol

One of the best WJ goalies. But ultimately nothing at the pro level.

Sad day for Wings fans!
