Lundqvist out 2-3 weeks with lower body injury

A job doesn't necessarily make you emotionally mature and capable of dealing with forms of rejection. NHL players is b#tches!

then that's their problem, fans shouldn't be the ones punished for that

I agree. I'm just saying that simply being NHL pros doesn't mean they are different than you or I.

Drew shore signs with the canucks for the remainder of the season

[Matthew]

And they are actually gonna play him geesh.

Not a bad night so far for the leafs... Just need VAN to beat BOS... and not sure what got into the lightning but they really aren't fucking off.

What would you guys think about using the 'Larry Bird Exception' in hockey?

"In essence, the Larry Bird exception allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign their own free agents, at an amount up to the maximum salary. To qualify as a Bird free agent, a player must have played three seasons without being waived or changing teams as a free agent."

i'd be fine with that... so teams can easier retain their young core players and build a team around them

But how many star players really change teams? If that money didn't count against the cap, i'd see the NHLPA going for it then

[Arian The Insider]

Nah

[thom54]

So LV is going to have 72 hours with everybody's list to try to auction guys off. Gonna be intense!

[Bruyns]

I don't remember 2000 expansion being that big of a deal. Seems like teams protected more players and expansion teams were left with scraps.

There wasn't nearly as many waiver picks traded this year in bbkl in comparison to other years.

[The BBKL Insider]

Aston-Reese to the Pens
