    I figure being a pompous American Canadiens fan could send Gunners to the hills. Doing my part for you all.

    And when Detroit signs Ekblad it’ll be to anchor our second pairing which is fine. But not at what it’s gonna cost.

    I'm worried about the Flyers for both Ekblad and Bennett.

    Kinda the problem. He's gonna get paid like a #1 while not being close to one. And his game will not age well.

    It seems like a pretty safe assumption Bennett is coming back. I'm the one who has to worry now.

    So this was incredibly cool but I give extra credit to TNT here on managing that situation. Usually they show all the main guys with the cup then as the cup transitions to the healthy scratches and assistant coaches they do their on ice interviews. This time they had to manage all around that. It was the first time I could remember the split screen where they didn’t stop showing who had the cup and put the interviews in smaller windows.

    And he'd deserve to be back in the NHL if they are not found guilty.

    Their goaltending is mid as fuck, but their team defense is also very mid. McDavid made a huge mistake on the 2nd goal leaving tkachuk to try and doubleteam loustarinen on the wing.

    This is pretty good. First you watch the celebration obviously, then you watch the crowd and there are some gems in there. A bunch of people having the times of their life. Some sad Oilers fans. Guys who need to beat traffic so they leave and skip the celebration. One guy who seems pissed to even be there

    yup. Ekholm threw an absolute grenade at Bouchard's skates and then got walked. I give Ekholm a pass because he was playing hurt but when he is your shut down guy playing like that, you are gonna have a bad time.

    Also Bouchard, Klingberg, and Walman were completely redundant. Add in Nurse and the Oilers had nowhere to hide. There was always a liability on the ice

    Too many times people get blackballed for being found innocent because people think they are guilty. It should not affect his career after being found innocent.

    I get where you are coming from. For every Duke Lacrosse there are 100 instances of these guys being monsters and getting away with it. So I get the overcorrection, but guilty before innocent leads to some extremely bad consequences.
     
  27. Wendel Clark

    Correct. I have no problem with suspending or releasing the player, but the court of public opinion will always be guilty. Guarantee you can still find people that think the Duke Lacrosse is guilty.

    But being found not guilty should be clear enough evidence to sign a player back right away.

    It's a 360 so you can basically zoom in on any fan in the area. The guys I was talking about where gone at the final horn and not coming back

    Perhaps it's twice in a year for them and they don't properly appreciate it

    He’s talking about Detroit. Detroit already has Seider as 1RD. We are talking about Yzerman signing him for 7x9 to be 2RD. Way worse than what you’re talking about.

    That's the one issue with "being good" the die hards get priced out and replaced with wealthy casuals who just want to say they were there.

    I don't disagree that Klingberg is barely NHL quality, but their skill sets are redundant. Offensive D-man who don't play a lick of defense

    Exactly what’s happened to the Canes the last 2-3 years. The lower bowl has totally swapped out with the corporates and the richers. Upper deck is now the die hards who used to sit lower bowl for $75.

    but his mistakes are always pretty noticeable, when he messes up it’s not just a little one. Doesn’t help him that people always see it because their goalies never make any save on good scoring chances
