nice find 7seven.

actually while watching the fight develop on tuesday in the nucks opening pre season game, i felt a pit in my stomach. With what happened to Rypien and co this summer, i dont think ill ever see enforces fighting in the same light again

that being said, i dont think it would be appropriate to take fighting out of the game. you do need it to keep guys in check...which ironically the instigator rule negates.

Jody Shelley :fulloffuck:

Dirty fucking hit and I know he's a tough guy but at least he dropped the gloves. Matt Cooke would do the same hit and then either skate away or fall to the ice in the fetal position if someone tried to engage him.

The timing though is pretty bad. Didn't they JUST release videos for the new rules for boarding? Plus it's fucking pre-season and he's not a prospect trying to show off for the coaches, there was no need for that.

hopefully i wont have to kick you out for swearing

:fuckthatshit:
league should just start throwing out suspensions like candy on stuff like this.
That'll smarten players up.

Should just suspend him for the rest of pre-season and a few games in reg season...

This is just ridiculous. Do they need to start sewing on "STOP" signs on the back of the player's jerseys??

Wow you called it...

Modano to sign contract with Dallas; retire as a Star

What I don't understand is that he already announced his retirement, so I'm not sure if he'll actually play any games though. Assuming that's true, he's going to get $1M for nothing? At the very least, it's a classy move by the organization for a classy guy.

Im assuming 1mil/82 and thats how much he'll be paid. But really classy move by the organization. I like seeing that happen for players who wanna retire on the ice rather than just announcing it to the media. Makes it more special like the way Linden retired

Modano won't be retiring on the ice, he just signed a contract with Dallas just so he can officially retire right away as a Star. He won't play any games, its all just for formality.

The Stars will be holding a retirement ceremony for Mo tomorrow at 1pm.

hahaha similar, theres been trash talking sessions at work on set with Boston native Matt Damon who's in town filming

Nice name-drop.

Kinda douchey of the Bruins for turning down the round if ya ask me.

Does anyone know the starting lineups for tonight?
When do the twins play?

Canucks lineup for tonight Vancouver Canucks

Good for Rosehill, standing up for a teammate.

FFS get rid of the Instigator rule, let the players police themselves a little.

Same director as District 9?

Letourneau-Leblond suspended five games for boarding

This was a relatively low-key incident during Tuesday's game in Vancouver. But what I found really nice is that on the TSN page, there's an actual video from Brendan Shanahan explaining why he handed out a 5-game suspension. That puts him miles ahead of Colin Campbell, in my books.

Yup.

Video here Letourneau-Leblond suspension Video - NHL VideoCenter I like how Shanny is handling explaining the suspensions

Mason Raymond breaks silence over Stanley Cup final injury - News1130

That's great news that Shanahan suspended that Calgary player. This should mean that Shelley will get suspended too. That was a disgusting, completely unnecessary hit especially in the PRE-SEASON. It's equivalent to a flagrant foul in the NBA during pre-season.. SMH :seriously:

We signed Nicklas Jensen.

Vancouver Canucks sign Nicklas Jensen - Vancouver Canucks - News

EDIT - LOL fuuuuuuuuark, beaten by a minute

RealKyper: #NHL news. #Flyers Shelly suspended 10 games. 5 pre-season and first 5 gms into the regular season.

I am satisfied with this.

Serves that plug right

shannahan is serious business, i like


A LOT

I like Shanny. The disciplinarian!
