2013-14 NHL Season Discussion

[CLWolf81]

Cory Schneider is definitely off his game tonight. 2 goals in 10 minutes...

 

[CLWolf81]

Wait wait... the crease rule is back? Since when?

 

[Shantz My Pants]

Shawn Thornton gets 15 games for his incident against Brooks Orpik.


I actually think this fair.

Me... I still think it should ave been more. But as far as the complete random crapshoot of the suspensions, I think that's about all we could have hoped for. Also, I'm not saying he isn't knocked out cold or anything like that but I still don't see where the killing blow is from Thornton. It's strange to me I see all the events the pull/fall/punch all that but none of it looked like anything major. Crazy...</p>

 

[Shantz My Pants]

I think the first punch stunned him, and the second shut the lights off

 

[MassHavoc]

See I thought that too and I looked at it and only really saw one punch connect which is more than enough of course.</p>

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

LOL!</p>

Marchand "raises the cup" in front of the Canucks bench.</p>

As impressive as his start has been right now the Caps are purely dependent on him. The team has no secondary scoring, it is tough when you have a guy who is already nearing 200 shots on the year, but at the same time Ovechkin is a -12.</p>


 </p>


He is clearly not the guy who needs to be boosting everybody else, but they need some more tools in Washington to seriously think about contenting again. </p>

Steen re-signs with Blues.</p>


 </p>


3 years, cap hit of 5.8 m per year</p>


 </p>


lol</p>

 I guess contracts are based on 30-40 good game stretches these days.</p>

 

[Variable]

It really is incredible. 500k less than Toews and Kane, has only hit 20 goals twice before in his career, currently has a shooting percentage of nearly 20%, which is twice his career average and also which is hard for even fucking Steven Stamkos to sustain and/or repeat, and is going to be 30 years old this season. Fucking insane.</p>

 

[CLWolf81]

Makes you wonder what the hell Kane and Toews will ask for...</p>

 

[Ton]

Does anyone ever sell high on the trade market anymore? Or do they just buy high/re-sign high?</p>


 </p>


$5.8M is ridiculous for Alex Steen. 3rd liner having a career half-year.</p>

 

[Variable]

I wouldn't even say half year, and this just makes it worse.  It was basically a 9 or 10 game period near the start of the season where he scored 10 goals on less than 30 shots, shooting  damn near 40%. Since then it's dropped pretty consistently and he's been pretty much back to his career average scoring pace over the last couple weeks now.</p>

Agreed... I knew St Louis wasn't right in the head, but even in the front office? 

 </p>


Wow.</p>

This is music to my ears. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.</p>


 </p>


If you would've told anyone, including Steen that he'd be getting upward of 3.5 million before this season he probably would have said GTFO. 5.8.....thats just brilliant.</p>


 </p>


The guy has never played a full season, has never broken 60 points or 24 goals and doesn't set the world on fire on the other end of the ice. St. Louis, who you crappin</p>

 

[roshinaya]

Blues fans would tell you that Steen is great two-way player!! Well worth the money.</p>

 

[Variable]

Well he is a good defensive forward, but I'm not paying almost 6 million to a defense first winger that, other than that stretch of games he had, struggles to score. Don't care how much the cap is going up.</p>
