Agree that TT played better. After 2-3 minutes of shit sandwich in the 1st, I thought the Blackhawks played well. Varlamov was a beast.

Varlamov just beat the Hawks harder than he beat his wife.... too soon?


Seriously... what the **** is this guy doing even playing?

His wife didn't press charges, and it all happened before leagues wanted to be accountable for asshole players (Ray Rice, etc.).
I think if you got enough Twitter buzz flowing it could create some blowback, but for some reason it's okay that he keeps lacing them up.
I'm surprised LA didn't get more shit for sneaking Voynov into practices while suspended.

Excremental performance, to say the least. It doesn't matter how many shots they put into Varlamint's crest, coming out like an ECHL team for the 8th straight game shouldn't be tolderated.

I'm hoping today's practice is mandatory and the only way off the ice is to be carried off.

I'm surprised Bobby Hull is still an ambassador, with how they're lowering the boom on domestic abuse throughout all sports leagues.

How does that work when somebody is suspended? Does the league send out a rep that follows the club around or something?

I'm not sure on the protocol, but with social media being such a huge influence on how we receive/send information, it probably leaked in that form.
Example: Someone with a phone sees he's suited up. Click. Tweet. Electronic paper trail.

That's pretty ridiculous when you consider that Janay Rice didn't press charges either. Fucking crazy man. If I remember correctly it was pretty gory as well, but I guess if there is no tape running non-stop and you have an H in your name instead of an F, no one cares.

There are always reporters around. The Kings were fined 100K when Slava Voynov "mistakenly" practiced.
