digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Rules are rules. It's a playoff game, and they were out past curfew. Does that really suggest they're motivated to play? Good for the team for having morals.There are other methods and times to teach lessons. Any punishment should try to minimize the impact on the innocent. They wouldn't be benched if they weren't sucking!Oh hi, Chris Stewart. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yeah, I'm Team Nashville on this one, they're doing the right thing and I'd bet the farm on the Predators winning tomorrow night anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

They wouldn't be benched if they weren't sucking!Oh hi, Chris Stewart.I agree the timing isn't ideal, and I might agree with the second part as well. I think they would be benched, sucking or not, but the fact that they would break curfew WHILE putting in questionable efforts on the ice made it a prettay easy decision.

serge 904 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Its not very often a major trade helps both teams immensely..But it looks like the Flyers / Kings trade has been a good one for both teams.While the Kings struggled near the end of the year, they have found their game and are a legitimate cup contender at this point.The Flyers also have improved their team with the overhaul of Carter and Richards. Also the Flyers may be suffering a bit of a letdown after the pretty intense Penguin series..Lets not forget that the Flyers are missing one of the best defenseman of all time from their lineup.Dont count them out yet...Flyers and Kings in the finals.

mrdannyg 274 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I don't know what's, better - that DGB wrote something at Grantland, or the content:Worst rule in hockey.I have no doubt the game would instantly be better if they implemented exactly what he suggests.The second best thing might be that the resident hockey writer, Katie Baker, decided it was apparently too easy to be a female hockey writer, so her article this week (and maybe other weeks, I don't know, she has a scoring system and everything) is rating the wedding announcements in the New York Times.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I'm not fond of Ilya Kovalchuk's game.Dale, its been more than 5 years. Have you changed your mind yet?I think NJ has made a player of Kovy. He looks different then the guy I didnt like so much in Atlanta. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Oh for sure!I think this thread has inspired him.He's been much more involved and not a perimeter player any more. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I've become a big Kovy fan over the last year or two. Probably has something to do with him somehow being soooo underrated. He's a beast everywhere. Probably the top winger in the game. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 General question:How much do you think Jason Garrison signs for? Some are talking about him signing for $4 million+ per season. He was paid $675,000 last season. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Realistically, $4M+ for one good season where he just dominated the start then trailed off drastically (statistically) is overpayment. Having said that, he's UFA, and it's going to happen, probably. Ideally, from a GM POV, he'd get a short term 1-2 year deal for say $2.5 or something and be forced to prove that he's worth the big money.I mean, he's turning 28 in November, and was never a point producer in college (although his numbers are respectable), and only had mildly good point-producing seasons in his AHL stints.I don't know, I guess I wouldn't be surprised with a 5-year, $20 million deal in this era. Tough to say. I imagine someone will be blinded by the booming shot and give him what he wants. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 His 16 goals this past season are only 4 shy of his total college and AHL career. He has 7 goals in another season and a half at the NHL level. Link to post Share on other sites

Except from Jeffstrat, he'll give him a five year deal since he only has to pay him Curtis Jackson. Link to post Share on other sites
