Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

NHL Player Safety Dept. is reaching out to certain players, such as Zac Rinaldo, to "teach" them the right types of hits these guys can apply and won't get disciplined for it.

They can try to teach these blockheads all they want. Won't change anything.

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

Are they trying to teach them how to hit clean or how to hit without getting disciplined?

I don't remember the exact quote now. But I think it was without getting disciplined for it.

They just need to use the Cris Carter method. Get themselves a fall guy!

Yup. The only thing that altered Cooke's game was a 17-game suspension.
Warning won't do it. Fighting won't do it. Losing $$$ will.

I'm still in shock that Dustin Brown didn't get anything for his cannon-ball head-butt.

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

NHL apparently looking to have a female official in the league.

I don't mind that,but I hate not just in NHL,but society in general,having the need to do this. If anyone(regardless of gender or race) is good enough to do something, then by all means,let them do it. But it seems like more and more,companies are having people in certain positions more because of trying to be diverse and showing equality over that person actually deserving to be there.

If there's a female ref out there who's good enough to be one of the refs in the NHL,then go ahead and hire her. But don't just bring some female in just so you can be like "Here's the first ever female NHL official!"

You should read his book.
I'm shocked it wasn't written in crayon.

The F-Word might be the only adjective and adverb he knows of.

*It was still an entertaining read. Which probably says more about me than him, haha.

JR took one too many hits in his career.

He's lucky he doesn't play in this social media generation. I'd imagine he'd be a walking headline weekly. Hell, he almost is as an analyst.

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

Well, to be fair, his head is ginormous, so it was an easier target. Sheesh!

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

Babcock named Team Canada coach for the world cup next year. Though he said what basically everyone is thinking. World Cup will be great and all, but it's no Olympics.

I think no matter what, NHL will be going to the Olympics. The world cup thing is a double profit move. Generate a profit from the tourney itself(which is being held in the biggest cash grabber city in sports,not to mention the heavy prices for ads), and once the IOC sees the NHL having their own international tourney, they might be making a move out of desperation and offering to pay for the NHL guys going over for Olympics,since they know that Olympic hockey needs the NHL more than the NHL needs Olympic hockey.

NHL needs to be at these Olympics though. They always talk about wanting to grow the game. Well..you have a chance to have the biggest hockey games played in Asia with the next 2 winter Olympics being in South Korea and China. So what better time to grow the sport,infront of a huge population where hockey isn't so popular.

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

It's nice jersey,which is easier to come up with when you're not in as many winter classics as certain other teams. Harder to be creative,when you're playing these games basically every year(like Bruins).

Didn't feel like either team should've been in winter classic this year though. Next years winter classic should be Leafs-Habs(for Leafs 100th year in 2017). Which is why Habs shouldn't have been in it this year, and Bruins get it way too much. It's becoming like NBA on Christmas where we'll see Lakers and Knicks all the time,even if they aren't good,cause an annual event is nothing more than money/ratings grab.
