Brad Boyes of the Buffalo Sabres was suspended two games for a head shot to Joe Colborne during the game against the Leafs last night. Man, Shanahan is going to town!
Yea, I'm quite happy about that. Being consistent and stern will, while not fix everything, make players take a bit more care and respect toward one another.
Hopefully.
So how about that Montreal vs Boston game last night... |:
red panda red panda red panda!
What do you expect? Montreal has only won a single pre-season game and they should have started icing their entire NHL roster from the get go. I don't see many prospects that they have who can take jobs, and Boston's lineup is pretty much guaranteed to be the same as last year sans one or two players so why wouldn't they ice their full roster?
GO JETS GO!
Winnipeg will win the Stanley Cup this year, all you haters GTFO!!

Doubt it; not til next season, when they can play in the West with shit teams like Edmonton and Colorado.
Until then, they'll still get their asses kicked by teams like the Islanders and New Jersey, just like last year.
They're still the same team as Atlanta, still all the same bads.
So excite for this season. Sharks are doing really well in exhibition play. Hopefully they can play as well as they are now in the regular season.
If the refs had their back during the playoffs, they'd have probably won a couple cups in the last few years... I'm not sure what's worse... having a team with that much talent choke every year in (usually) the first or second round, or having a team that hasn't even made the playoffs since before the lockout.
it was a joke vanilla, obviously seeing as the canucks kicked there butts the refs dont have there back.
Habs seem to be taking advantage of the preseason to test their prospects more than most teams. Boston had most of their cup roster here in Halifax, and Budaj is apparently not good.
Montreal had a couple more core people last night (namely Price and Cammalleri), but were still filled with prospects from what I heard (couldn't watch it, I don't get RDS).
red panda red panda red panda!
I'm not sure what's going to happen here, and at first (while watching it happen on tv) I thought it was incidental contact, but it does look like Neil kind of leans into Grabovski. Even if he gets no suspension, it's a pretty dumb play on his part. Are people just trying to get suspended these days?
Lol, even the commentators look forward to Shanahan's videos, though I'm still waiting for one on JF Jaques.
Pens look great this preseason, I just hope Crosby gets healthy and can play.. not just for the Penguins he is pretty important to the league.
Go pens
