NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[KapG]

you new to hockey bro?

thoms of the anti fighting crowd lol.

I don't know about Thom but for me personally, I'd definitely like the player that is the 4th line tough guy who is "only on the roster to fight" out of the game. Fighting should definitely stay in the game though.

Its a shame a small minority of people are the ones causing this huge uproar about fighing. Its the body checks to the head whether it be an elbow or a shoulder, that are doing a lot more damage.

I'm also sure those same people who dislike fighting in hockey love the UFC.

Everyone is a hypocrite now-a-days

Agree and disagree.

The people who think fighting has no place in the game take it too far.

But the people who say get the Colton Orrs and John Scotts of the world out have somewhat of a point.

[The BBKL Insider]

John scott sure, but orr actually has some value.

I agree tho, big stupid morons like scoTt need to go. He's too big and too stupid and doesn't seem to care about the safety of others

I think fighting will happen when passions get the best of people; I don't see the purpose of a goon who can barely skate and can only really fight other shitty hockey players. I'd much rather have those minutes (and a bit more to properly play guys further up the lineup) given to a guy who can play hockey, skate, defend, and shoot.

[Shoalzie]

The straight up goon/enforcer is a dying breed...you need to be able to do something besides to have any value to your team. Conversely, the obvious pests that won't fight are just as bad for the sport.

I don't know why Scott can't use his size effectively and not just as a threat to other players. Stick that big body in front of the net.

By the time he gets there, the puck would be back in the other end

watching the oilers game they updated 2 injuires:

Gio will be out a while, said it didn't look good for the flames.

Silfervberg will be out 6 weeks with something - i missed the injury.


not sure who owns those guys. but youre probably the only 2 who would care.

[Nick]

yep - saw it too. super lame. Just another injury

[KapG]

Welcome to the club nick.

Salvador...visnovsky...penner...ruutu (when I owned him)...eriksson...I think I've a couple more too. Not 100% sure tho

[Shep]

Dude - can you imagine this team with Kulemin, Lupul and Fraser in it? We are going to fuck teams up.

Our team is awful. Until they learn how to play defence, they'll never do anything.

[KapG]

Certainly haven't been playing too well lately...:/

[The BBKL Insider]

Yup, our true colours are catching up to us, randy doesn't have them skating or playing as hard as they did last year.

[The BBKL Insider]

Bozak out at least 10 days, most likely 2 weeks or more

per CBC

[KapG]

Bolland is simply put a BOSS.

I never watched much of him in Chicago. I've been veeerrrrrrrry impressed with his playmaking ability and his defensive play.

Bolland has the ability to bring his game up a level or two when i matter we saw that last night

bolland played his best game of the season last night, was a stud

you can tell he hasn't practiced much on the PP tho, didn't seem to fit/work well on the PP,,,,but it will come with practice

[thom54]

Orr actually played a half decent game for him. LOVED Kadri with JVR and Kessel.

[The BBKL Insider]

it's sad to say, but a lot of fans and media have been crying to bozak to be replaced by kadri in the lineup,,,these next 2 weeks could really change how randy runs his lines if kadri can find chemistry with jvr and kessel.

that would drop bozak to the 3rd line.

Will not happen imo.
