I can only assume it's because Sundqvist is back playing for the Blues now.

Or they relied on the league's soft precedent. Cooke wasn't even suspended for pretty much ruining Marc Savard's life on a similar hit and Torres launched himself (into a star) to get over the 25 game mark.brian wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 12:09 pmI'm convinced the arbitrators in that case have never seen Wilson play.degenerasian wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 12:03 pm Tom Wilson's suspension reduced to 14 games so he can play tonight.
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
There's a new CBA coming. I'm hoping the players actually ask for longer suspensions for hits to the head and really long suspensions for repeat violators. It's in all of their best interest.mister d wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 1:54 pmOr they relied on the league's soft precedent.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Yeah, I think we're another generation away from players doing something like that in their own interest instead of preserving some stupid Goon Code.
We're still really barely out of the era of teams carrying a guy that barely plays on the 4th line, just so he can have some dumb gladiator moment for whatever perceived injustice occurred at whatever point.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Regardless of the CBA, I really wish the NHL would make all hits to the head a major penalty, regardless of any targeting assessment.

Tonight, Joe Thornton had the game-winning goal for the Sharks, in a very exciting 5-4 win against Nashville. It was his 400th of his career, to go with over 1,000 assists.
His skills are a bit diminished nowadays but over the years, I’ve enjoyed watching him as much as any player out there.

Red Wings are hot. They've won seven of eight to rise to... 12th in the East.

I have no idea which Tanner Pearson is the real version but I'm not sure I would have tacked two more years onto my already shaky cap situation to find out. How much better is "peak Tanner" than $4MM per season?
Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Ha. I didn't know they extended him. He's been pretty good in the past but he's been horrible this season. I guess the Pens are betting that the current season has just been an aberration.

At least Vegas crushed Edmonton who just fired McLellan and hired Ken Hitchcock.

They wear white for matinee home games like Nevada Day. Suppose today sort of qualifies.

I did not know that was allowed. I thought the league mandated darks and whites.

I watched some of that game in a bar before going to the Sharks game. Good game. I think those two are going to battle it out in the first round of the playoffs (2nd/3rd).degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 7:58 pm I did not know that was allowed. I thought the league mandated darks and whites.

At this point I’d be over the moon if Vegas finished 2nd or 3rd in the division. It’s definitely San Jose’s division to lose.

I agree. I'd be thrilled if the Flames made the playoffs period.

Despite having coached only 105 games for Vegas, Gerald Gallant is almost at the mid-point amongst NHL head coaches for tenure (14 coaches have been with their teams for less time, 16 for more).

The Stars-Oilers game has been so bad they shouldn't give either team any points. Instead it'll be a 3 point game.

Tom Wilson has been on fire since getting back on the ice. 8 games, 6 goals (on 21 shots) and 6 assists

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
Is Erik Karlsson hurt or something? I've only seen about three or four SJ games and he didn't look great in any of them and I heard he looked pretty bad vs. Buffalo last night as well. Wondering if not doing an extension at the time of the trade to SJ is going to cost him any money.

Re: 2018-2019 NHL Season
He was second star last Friday night with one goal, two assists and +3, and scored and assisted in the game before that, too. I don't believe he is hurt - he is just like the rest of the Sharks - up one night, down the next. They seem to coast some nights. The Sharks gamble a lot with both Karlsson and Burns both regularly free-lancing and playing like forwards. That leads to odd-man rushes against them, and Martin Jones hasn't had great numbers against high-risk chances so far this season.brian wrote: ↑Wed Nov 28, 2018 2:24 pm Is Erik Karlsson hurt or something?
