2020-2021 NHL Thread

The NHL needs to figure out what is acceptable or not in their league. As you point out, things don't align.

IMO, the action toward a player that is completely defenseless is more egregious.

This one's interesting because if Buchnevich reacted a split second later it would have been Mantha crosschecking it him pretty hard (more in the chest area though to his credit) completely away from the play and probably him facing the suspension.

That crosscheck is definitely suspension worthy. No question. Should never have come to that, though.

This league...

Connor McDavid cooling off hard last night.  0 goals and only two assists.

93 points with 5 games left. Matthews keeps his 8G lead.  Interestingly Matthews is only 11 points back of McDavid in 5 on 5 point production.  Imagine if the Leafs powerplay didn't suck.

and he had a bum wrist for a month..take away his bad wrist and he's putting up a goal a game. That's crazy.

No shock there. Apparently the other owners weren't happy with the public statement. Oh well.

I don't know how you don't do it as the league but the optics of this whole scenario just keep looking poor.

Best sport, worst league.

Dolan should release a statement about Bettman.

It was terribly unfair of Bettman to question George Parros' professionalism and dedication to his role and the Department of Player Safety and therefore has fined himself $250,000.

Is this a good time to ask why Colin Campbell isn't black listed from the league for directly impacting the games his son took part in while being an NHL executive?  Is that not up to the standard of questionable professionalism and behaviour?

Is that a confirmed story?

Is that a confirmed story?

I mean I'm not sure you're ever going to get Bettman or Parros on the record as confirming that but Rick Carpiniello is a pretty trustworthy reporter who wouldn't put that in print unless he was confident in his sources.

This keeps getting funnier.

This keeps getting funnier.

Ok reading the article and seeing a GM slip in a complaint about the Rangers' statement being cancel culture has officially topped the funny scale.

If the damn league dealt properly with the goonery (is that a word?) this wouldna happened. Utter effing horsecrap.
