He got hit with a high stick right in the mouth but dude was swinging at the puck and just slammed the puck into his mouth with his stick. Bleeding too so went from a double minor to no penalty.

After two decades of this bullshit you’d think they could wait another two months. I feel bad for Yotes fans and there are a lot more than you’d think. Muerelo might finally be done bleeding money and realizes a team-financed $1 billion arena project isn’t as sweet as a smaller market with an arena in place.

Tell me more about this. Do they have a devoted fan base? I legit don't know either way. I figure they've been in the desert now for (checks hockey reference) 28 years (28 years? How?), so I would figure they have a couple generations worth, but is it, if not a hotbed, than at least a sizable presence?

There's still a pretty big auction date to purchase land for a new Arizona arena, no?



Apparently they may not wait.

That's a pretty good contract for Vegas. The Flames keeping him with that contract would have just been the wrong move. They would have gone nowhere had they extended Hanifin (and the others). The Flames needed to start rebuilding, and thankfully they made that choice.

I get you don't want guys who are really injured until that exact day to have to miss the playoffs, so just adjust the rules to say every night of the playoffs, the 20 you dress have to come in under the cap. Don't count the guys in the press box and ignore that the cap is usually applied to up to 23 players. Done.

Holy crap.

“My family and I are committed to winning this land auction and building a transformative entertainment district that will not require taxpayer funding for the first time in Arizona history,” said Arizona Coyotes Chairman and Governor Alex Meruelo. “We will buy this land, build this development and finish a project that will incur the cost of more than $100 million in infrastructure improvements with no burden placed on taxpayers.”

After lengthy review... no foul. Which... Huh... Ok. Not losing my mind as it wasn't a straight-up egregious boarding. Still. To some of the points by many on this board for years, dude that committed the foul could've made some different choices.

Anyways, ffwd 10 minutes and Nic Dowd drops gloves with the TBL guy, who takes a mild ass whooping like a man and we all move on. In the penalty box, you can see the Cap (Dowd) say to the other guy.. "nice job... nice job..." and it's not sarcastic, he is legit giving him props for dropping the gloves and lowering the the overall temperature of the situation.

Classic/perfect example of NHL unwritten rules that actually make things better in the game.
