It's weird for a sport where they've got bulky gloves.

Was the the Islanders/Wild game tonight. Wild go down 3-0. Second period comes around. Douche from NYI boards a Wild player into unconsciousness for a few minutes with no penalty. Wild end the period 4-1. Third period comes around. Four unanswered goals and a killed penalty in the final three minutes. Stick your dick in a Zamboni's path, New York.

Saw a game while I was in town. Colorado Avalanche. Blues coaxed Martin Brodeur from the old folks home. 42 years old. 6 games played. 3-2 record with 2 shutouts. I saw #125 tonight. Win #691. Goddamn.

Minnesota Wild are having their best season in years. Tied the NHL record for consecutive road wins. One of the goalies is likely up for MVP. They better make it past the first round.

Lemieux and Burkle have owned the Penguins since 1999 when Lemieux, with the help of the billionaire businessman, turned the deferred salary the team owed him into equity to buy the bankrupt team.
Hah. Lemieux spent most of the last half of his career unable to play due to injury, but I guess his agent was pretty good.

Gretsky calls Lemieux the greatest player he's ever seen. He's one of many who said Lemieux could have gone down as the greatest ever if he didn't have the back issues and cancer.

I watched both Wayne and Mario playing while growing up. Lemieux did indeed have some serious issues that plagued his later years, he wasn't as dedicated to the game as someone like Wayne. Gretzky would go to the ice and practice every damn day with the rest of his team. In addition to his tremendous talent, his training ethic was golden. I can't say the same of Lemieux.
Posted by Leisher on Sep. 03 2015,08:53
Gretsky was also a cherry picker who didn't play defense. Something Lemieux did well. Nobody's perfect.

He could play D at least passably. But he didn't have the size to back check and his coaches would kill him if he went down to block a shot. He could still poke check and steal pucks, though. Additionally, Wayne was a boon to his team's D because when he had the puck there was a shining good chance it was down in the other team's zone.

All she did was expose herself as a gold digging slut to the world, and sparked a #jagrselfie trend on Instagram.

Brendan Shanahan, the dude that was in charge of player discipline for the league, had been making an effort to crack down on that shit. While Shanny was known for being physical, his replacement was a straight up goon that logged 1300 plus PIMs back in the day. When it comes to non-chem related issues, the NHL might have the most legit punishment process of all major sports.

The NHL announced Tuesday it decided to allow Scott to captain the Pacific Division team even though he got traded out of the conference.

QUOTE
In 2007, fans rallied to vote Vancouver Canucks journeyman Rory Fitzpatrick onto the all-star roster. The “Vote for Rory” campaign, which reached its peak with a series of entertaining attack ads, ruffled feathers in the league, leading ESPN’s Barry Melrose to declare this would certainly spell the end of fan voting.
“If this works, enjoy it,” he said (via Slate), ” ’cause I gotta think they’ll have a trick up their sleeve so it’ll never happen again.”
Fitzpatrick ended up in third place, just outside the votes necessary to land on the roster, but that result, too, was viewed askew, with some accusing the league of manipulating the vote count.
The NHL found itself in a pickle again last year when the population of Latvia rallied behind their fellow countryman Zemgus Girgensons, a rather unremarkable second-year player on the Buffalo Sabres at the time. Unlike Fitzpatrick, Girgensons made the roster. His fans even made a rap video for him. The NHL did nothing to change how the voting worked at that time.

Then, later in the game, he scored on a breakaway, rifling a beautiful shot over the shoulder of Minnesota Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk.
Dayum. Dubnyk lead the league in shutouts last I looked and is a major reason Minnesota might make the playoffs.

Yet if you read through Bettman’s 22-page ruling to uphold the 20-game suspension, you’ll see that the commissioner went above and beyond in his efforts to discredit two doctors who testified to the effects of a concussion. The commissioner also overlooked a potential brazen disregard for player safety by the Calgary Flames.
In short, you’ll see a commissioner who seemed determined to not believe in the impact of concussions.
Mind you, there is a history here. Just last year Bettman stated that no evidence exists connecting concussions suffered from playing sports and developing CTE. He said this in 2015.

So funny even Gordon will appreciate this sports story.The Montreal Canadians hit 1 million Twitter followers and to celebrate they setup scripts to automate responses with custom jerseys and messages from players.
As soon as I said "automate" you all started groaning didn't you?

The Wild are doing a great job of setting up the sweep for the Stars. Halfway through the game for MIN: - 8 SOG, less than 50% of DAL
- 3 penalties (for a team in the bottom 5 in penalty kill) against a team with a top 5 power play stat
