  1. Saw the play on TV.  Erik Haula was checked along the boards by Marleau, a robust hit but in no way illegal or dirty.  Leg buckled awkwardly underneath him.  Carried off on a stretcher.  I will be surprised if he doesn't miss months.  Hate to see that but it happens.

  2. Can you imagine being Raymond and having to try to do your job now.  He may or may not have some performance issues, probably does.  But damn so unfair to him.  But I bet Leaf players have made choice comments about Babcock in private.  And that goes for any coach/staff in the league.  It’s also really unfair to those 7 players also that they are recorded without their knowledge in a Uber vehicle!  They should sue Uber and the driver.  Use a professional cab guys, you can afford it!

  3. Yet another black eye for the team.  In an unauthorized recording in a Uber vehicle they make fund of special teams coach Marty Raymond and make light of their own team’s patheticism.  Seven players involved.  I don’t know how Raymond can run a practise or video session after this.  Apparently even after the departure of Karlsson and Hoffman the dysfunction continues.

     

    Hey Sens players, how about this, you’re the guys on the ice - play better!

    (I couldn’t get volume on the video and it is no longer on YouTube apparently.)

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  4. When I said it wouldn’t take long for him to be back in front of DOPS I really thought it would take longer than early in his second period back.  It wasn’t one of the worst hits I’ve seen but it was high and predatory.  They have to send him a more stern message now.  Maybe 3 games?

  5. Just caught the sports news.  Couldn’t believe that Borowiecki was actually playfully hitting his teammates lightly in the head with his elbow and having a great laugh about it after the game with Boston in which he nailed Boston’s Urho Vaakaneinen.  Just shows the amount of respect  low-lifes like him have for opponents.  It’s disturbing actually.  I don’t mind hard tough competition but laughing about serious injury you’ve inflicted on an opponent is just totally classless.

    I take issue with Green telling the team not to go after Matheson because of the score. He wanted to win the game. What a crock of shit! Sorry guys! Here comes the old The Old Rainman surfacing again. Sort of where our conversation left off last week about fighting in the league. If it was me Matheson would have been used as a mud flap on the team bus.

     

    I’m with you on this.  In addition how can 4 professionals in stripes miss this?!  Does the league hold these guys accountable for blatant non calls!  NHL officiating is so damn inconsistent.  It’s crazy.  

     

    I do hope the DOPS gets it right though.   They sent a message on Tom Wilson.  At least Wilson’s infraction was a hockey play.  This was a takedown. 

  7. Man that was such dirty play by Matheson.  A WWF move nowhere near the puck.  As a result a budding star and Calder leading candidate out concussed.  This type of play is such bullshit.  Matheson has a hearing tomorrow.  I’d like to see 5 games but expect 2.  

    Anyone else with a take on this.

     

    oh and also after saying they were getting character guys to be hard to play against and protect their young stars, well Vancouver had no response whatsoever.  Well they got their 2 points. I suppose that’s something.  But that is not being hard to play against and their fans are pissed.

    NHL should start telling Wilson he will be out as long as the player he injured is out with a minimum of 10 games. If the player he lays one of these dirty hits on is out 3 months then Wilson is out 3 months.

     

    For a blatant foul I agree 100%.  

     

  9. Need to throw the book at him this time.  I can’t stand the guy.  The thing about him is that he shows no remorse whatsoever and enjoys hurting people.  Seeing him actually laughing on the bench during the playoffs after laying out Zach Aston-Reese with the guy in obvious distress turned my stomach.  

    In the old days an enforcer would make him pay.  Today the league has to do it.  And they better make a statement here.  If it were me he’d get 20 games.  They won’t do that but he could get 10.

  10. Yep I own him in one league and had budgeted higher to be safe.  Probably both sides have a good reason to do this.  Vegas may feel that he will regress partially at least to his norm given an abnormally high shooting percentage last year.  He may feel that he can get a mega contract with another 40, (even 30) goals and 70 plus points.  Vegas reduces its risk but he can put them in a tough spot with another great season.
