But the North is the weak division...

I see nothing wrong with that play. A little chin music to keep him honest.

You see nothing wrong with a crosscheck to the throat? Then, maybe, you need to re-examine things. That's an extremely dangerous play. Last thing the league needs is players cracking each other's windpipes.

2 min penalty in that game. 5 playoff game suspension for Kadri  :

Obviously. Should be 5 mins + a few games for it. Gotta be more careful with where that stick ends up. Crosschecks are an accepted illegal play (which is why there is a 2 minute penalty for them instead of an instant 5 and a game), and I don't have issue with the standard crosscheck when fighting for position, etc., but sticks should never be intentionally aimed with force at or near the neck. Mangiapane could easily have made the same statement aiming his blow a foot lower, into Scheifele's chest.

Haha. Sorry. Sarcasm doesn't translate well online.

Yes it does.

Yes it does.

wait, are you being sarcastic here?  ;D

I came here for a good argument. No you didn't. Yes I did.

Flyers just saved Vingeault?s job for now. Almost losing to Buffalo - sad.

I can't believe the Sabres lost last night.  I checked the score and saw 3-0 going into the 3rd and figured Philly was in such a funk that the Sabres would finally win.  Nope.

Since their COVID pause they have gone 2-19-3.  That's 24 point/82 game pace.  Before the pause they were 4-4-2.

Still 11 games off the Winnipeg Jets 30 games without a win.

They did break the record for consecutive losses last night (regardless of whether regulation, OT, or SO). Only 1 more loss from entering a 5-way tie for the 8th longest winless streak. Not looking like they'll get anywhere near the top pointless/regulation loss streaks, though.

1. This quote/exchange is truly amazing.

2. It'll be sad if Karlsson isn't remembered more for the defenceman he was with the sens.

woooowww. I knew Ghostbear was struggling but this seems extreme. He has 2 years left on his deal after this one with a $4.5mil AAV.

He's not producing anywhere near his cap hit, so no one is going to pick him up. Really fallen off over the last few seasons.

The Flyers are a train wreck.
