Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
damn, rookie season and already with one concussion. How long do you think he will last in the NHL. Pettersson needs to gain some more weight, so he wont get toss around like a rag doll.
Canada is uniquely interested in hockey, which often puts Canadians in a bubble for some of the simplest issues that hurt the game’s popularity in other places, such as having no one to play against.
Every year, Tim Horton’s pulls off another fun stunt with Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon and this year might be the best one yet. According to this commercial, Kenya only has one team and Tim Horton’s flew them to Canada so they would have someone to play against, and also gave them a couple extra teammates.
It seemed like surprise after surprise, as the team saw their gear in the locker room and then had two of their favourite players show up to play alongside them.
I actually don’t believe the Pens. I think Murray’s issues are alcoholism not concussion... they just keep saying that’s the reason he’s out. 2 concussions just taking shots in practice? I know it does happen but come on... and the guys been a fucking mess / looking like one for 2 seasons now.
On an unrelated note, does anyone subscribe to the Athletic? I’m on a trial cuz I wanted to read the Provies / now called the Athletties... fuck $11.00 a month is steep though. $5 wouldn’t seem so bad but... yeesh...

You gotta get the $35/year deals... I got it for that and definitely worth it for that much a year. I don't think I'd pay full price.

Reminds me of when I played house league and we had a goalie from Jamaica who had never even been on skates before. Sure we lost almost every game for the first 1/2 of the season, but his progression was amazing. His athleticism and agility was some of the best I had ever witnessed. The Mighty Ducks movie had come out at the same time so we drew a lot of parallels to it that season.
Also reminded me of when the Kenyan Boys Choir attended the Leafs/Wings game a few years ago.

If you have an old university email addresses, you can sign up for a student plan which I think is 50% off.
It's worth it at the discounted price. Very good and insightful reporting even outside of the Athletties ;though admittedly I only signed up for for the Athletties but was pleasantly surprised.

Honestly, I don't even see how it could only be two games given their repeated emphasis that this was not a hockey play that resulted in an injury. IMO, as soon as it's deemed not a hockey play and results in an injury, it should be an automatic 5+ games.
Doesn't a phone call only warrant 5 games max? IMO 2 games isn't enough however this may be cause he's a first time offender.
Yes, a phone call is up to 5 games. In person can be more.
The whole first time offender thing is bullshit. It shouldn't be used to do the initial calculation on how many games someone is suspended it for. It should be used to multiply the amount of games someone is suspended for.
You're basically telling me that any hot head can intentionally take a run at the opposing team's best player when he doesn't even have the puck and basically get a slap on the wrist.
Good deal for Matheson, 2 game suspension trade for a probable career altering injury for Petterson off a non-hockey play. It is much easier to get a concussion after the first one, especially when he's so young. Look what happened with Crosby and Lindros and they aren't skinny guys like Petterson.
First time offender should only apply when there was absolutely no intent whatsoever. Matheson had every intent on getting back at Petterson after getting undressed like a fool
