I understand that Rick Nash was brought in to fill the net and to be the team's #1 scorer, especially in crunch time. But like you said, he has been playing really well with nothing to show for it. He leads the team in Corsi and Quality of Competition. He is second on the team in Fenwick For %. So he is playing…

I think you mean ZERO goals in his last playoff games (which is the 2014 playoffs, btw). He has 4 points in 10 games this playoff

Yeah I agree with you. If he didn't go out he probably would've been better. I know neely and chiarelli were both disappointed with his production and his antics. Maybe it was the off-ice stuff that sealed the deal. They've been kinda wishy washy on it all. And have contradicted themselves in giving the reasoning

He kinda was. If he scored 15 goals last playoffs, I doubt they would've traded him. It wasn't the only reason he was let go. But it was part of it.

Fellow 614-er. Its so amazing, and I love the support from all over the state. The Columbus Crew players (most of them) were there last night. The Indians have reached out and so have the Buckeyes. Even stupid meaningless tweets make me happy that CBJ are finally getting their respect. As someone who was at the…

I assume they just follow the puck around. Montreal's people are amazing. It seems like the spotlight is on them before the puck crosses the line

I tweeted 97.1 last night. They will have the audio up from last night at some point today!

It's like an alarhhm clock

He deserves the same suspension he got for that hit on ovechkin

He has an in-person hearing or at-least been offered one, he can decline and still receive 5+. I just hate the fact Cooke is getting 5 or more for that. Just like I hate that way the NHL handled the Perry/Lucic/Dubinsky spears all differently. One was penalty/One was fined/One got nothing. I just want consistency…

And to your blinders comment. I'm a CBJ fan ,who pre-CBJ, loved the Blackhawks and still root for them in games not against CBJ. I hate Wild because they came into the league same as the CBJ and they are soooooooo boring. So I think I am coming from a pretty neutral grounds. Albeit, I do hate Hitchcock with a…

I don't think either Bickell or Cooke intentionally stuck out their knee. It is a 100% reactionary thing that happens when the player moves, they say oh shit I better get a piece of him, and it usually results in a knee or an elbow afflicting the player trying to move. You can clearly see Bickell alters his route…

I don't see how being a habitual 10G - 30P guy makes you a terrible hockey player. Has the 3rd highest (for Fowards) Quality of Competition. He starts in the D-zone 66% of the time. His on-ice shooting percentage plus on-ice save % is 1031. He was on the ice of 47% of the time his team was shorthanded. He has a…

Bryan Bickell did this Saturday and only got a two minute penalty.

How much do you think that suspension was a Warning Shot from the new leaders of the DOPS? Three playoff games is extremely harsh

I don't know why you brought up Karlsson incident, that was 100% an accident. No malicious intent on that play. Now to the knee, I don't see how you can suspend Cooke for the same thing Bryan Bickell did to Sobotka. The only real difference is the injury that took place (and I guess Cooke's reputation). Sobotka is…

You know that Cooke wasn't suspended for his hit on Savard right? Because, at the time, that was a grey area in the NHL. Thus, the creation of the DOPS

Fighting is more of retribution or atonement than it is to prevent. You hit our guy, we are going to try to beat your face in. If you don't like that, do hit him. If that doesn't stop you, then you know what could happen. It's just like laws in the real world, police officers do not prevent every single crime. …

I find this hilarious and awesome.

they do, but it still going to feel good. All the skating and leg movement can get your business moving around. I've had this done to me and it felt like my nut got stepped on
