Zach6668 513 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Blocker to head was absolutely a match penalty in my minor leagues, under CHA rules. My buddy goalie back home, who actually plays on my men's league team tried it. It was called the atomic blocker, but I digress. Not sure on the NHL rules. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Alex Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk, Evgeni Malkin...All Russians, all on pace to be way below their career averages..In Ovy's case its mostly him not scoring as much..I wont even mention Kovalev.Coincidence?Or is this Bettman's doing ahead of the Olympics in Russia?

Fenxis 99 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 "@ian_mendes: 18 times this season, the Sens have been in a game that is tied in the 3rd period. They've only won 3 of those games."4? years ago the Senators were pretty much unbeatable in the 3rd... if they had gone 15-3 instead of 3-15 this season, those extra 24 pts would put them tied w/ the league lead.Goes to show a. the amazing parity in this league (see Philly) and b. how much stagnation can kill a team.edit: six of those losses still got pitty pts so only +18 pts...

serge 904 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 The New Jersey Devils as a part of the penalty must forfeit a first round pick from 2011-2014..I guess its their choice and obviously wont pick this year..How sick would it have been if the NHL just said you forfeit your 2011 pick?

I was just thinking this when San Jose grabbed Wellwood. The Blues did all the work to get Svatos and Wellwood under contract and other teams are able to just swoop in and grab them.

Seems like more trouble than it's worth but there you go. Link to post Share on other sites
