2013-2014 NHL Thread

[hockeyfan1]

For the first time in four decades (dating back to '67), the Eastern Conference's top team will place sixth overall, providing that this trend continues to season's end.

Not since '67 has a top team finished sixth overall, whether it'd be a conference or division team.

No penalty on the play.

Not everyone is good at math, but damn, that's an easy one.

Best on ice officials in the world, ladies and gentlemen.

I'd like to see the Vancouver player +/- assignment if either team had scored there.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Not NHL, but?

Is one conference stronger than the other?

Well, the 1st place team in the East, Boston, would be tied for 8th with the teams in the West.

That's pretty remarkable.

Edit: I'm watching the Kings/Avs game and Scrivens looks very sharp. Didn't know he was doing so well.

That's some ninja stuff right there.

Datsyuk may be out for a while with a concussion. He took a pretty bad elbow from Jared Cowen and actually didn't even have the puck.

I think it deserves a suspension, but that's just me. I get really annoyed when the league's premier players take blatant cheapshots from dirty players.

Yeah. I have to imagine the league will come down hard on Cowen for that one. He leads with his elbow and the head is the principal point of contact.

 

[AvroArrow]

I think that should be 5 games - it's pretty blatant.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

If Kadri gets 3 games for inadvertently running over Backstrom, Cowen better be getting games.

 

[Stickytape]

Yeah, that had better be a lot more than 3 games.  Neither Datsyuk or Cowen were anywhere near the puck at the time, and never mind the principle point of contact - the only point of contact was an elbow to the head.  100% cheap shot.

That will of course depend on Shanny's magic eight ball of justice....I totally agree with you though

Apparently Cowen won't be getting a hearing for that hit. So no suspension. Might be the worst non-call by the DOPS I've seen.

It was apparently ruled accidental, because, you know, guys stick their elbows out like that when they realize they're going to miss their intended target "accidentally" and not at all because they're doing everything that they can to still make contact. I hate this league sometimes.

Weeeeeeeeeell of course.

With rulings like this, so do I.

It's as if the league doesn't care about protecting its star players.

Accidental as domis elbow in niedermyer.

Hahaha, no, but seriously, how many games is Cowen getting?
