To some extent, I wonder if we're seeing the downside of the league collectively phasing out the enforcer role. 20 years ago, if someone throws a forearm shiver into the back of a star player's head, he's getting his face punched in on the next shift. Without that role, most of the time the only potential downside is getting sent to the box for two minutes.
It's kind of like the guy who took a cheap shot at Kelce in the playoffs. He takes a penalty, but Kelce's knocked out of the game. If there were another guy standing there who was allowed to beat his ass, he might think twice about making that kind of hit. |

OTOH, if the NHL got their shit together and handed out relatively long suspensions (playoffs or not), there may not be a reason to otherwise waste roster spots on enforcers (or telling a player who wants to contribute in other ways that he's on the team to punch people in the face). |

In game 1 of the BOS TOR series - Kadri gets a 3 game suspension for the head shot on Wingels after Wingels elbows Marner in the head with no call.
In game 2 Schaller gives a head shot to Marner where he leaves his feet as an attempt to injure. Hainsey comes in and gives Schaller a couple of shots to the the face. No call on the Schaller hit. Not looked into by the league. Hainsey gets a penalty for roughing. Bruins score on the PP. The play is at the 0:57 mark of the video in this link: https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/games/2039004/ The NHL HAS TO STOP PANDERING TO THE PUSSIES!!! Fighting is good. The only problem with hockey is the NHL (AND THEM LISTENING TO PUSSIES) The only problem with football is the NFL. These leagues are killing themselves by letting officials determine the outcome of games based on marginal calls or non-calls - to who's benefit? The league's ratings? I have no idea... |

Three elimination games tonight should make for an exciting evening. Hope the Avs can push it at least one more game (especially since I picked Preds to win it in 6...).

Jets are up 4-0 with 6:00 left in the 1st period.
Why did Minnesota even bother making the trip North? |

I picked the Flyers to lose the series actually. It's just fun watching you try to play Nostradamus.There's only one guy talking shit in this conversation and he's in the room with you.I'll take that as a "no" on the trifecta.

Crazy game. 0-0 with 10 minutes to go and the Avs win it 2-1 in regulation. Game 6 here we come.
