He didn't get fined or suspended, but hey good thing they fined Chimera for poking Gostisbehere with his stick.

Player Safety being an ironically named, inconsistent joke is as much a universal law as gravity, though.

No, see, you're not allowed to question him unless you live in Buffalo and religiously watch the Sabres. :v:

I take his point that the Masterton isn't necessarily the "guy who came back from major injury and did good" award, but that article doesn't even address why they DID pick O'Reilly for the award.

If it's supposed to be about the player who "best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey" ... what exactly is he persevering over besides the fallout from his drunken indiscretion? Living in Buffalo?

From his stupid word vomit on twitter since the nomination came out, it boils down to "he practices a lot and is a role model to rookies".

If that's the criteria we're going off of, then it should belong to Jagr until he retires (and then rename it to the Jagr Memorial Trophy).

I'm pretty sure Boston is going to end up out of the playoffs anyway. The terrible thing is that they'll blame Julien instead of Sweeney and we'll end up with Oates coaching next season.

On the other hand...

Colorado loses at all and it's over though. I think they 100% have to win out and hope Minnesota loses out.

Fair enough, but given how badly we play them away I'm not inclined to take any chances. :v:

Hoping so bad Dallas beats Nashville (Who I imagine will be resting players) on Saturday so we can get that Dallas vs. Minnesota series that will surely leave myself, Kyro and Top Hats probated in vitriolic ragefests.

And probably pay for like half a day's server costs. :v:

In Dallas, Minnesota might be just another speed bump.

This is basically the sentiment I get from my non-SA friends who're Stars fans. :v: I just look at the still-bitter Minnesota fans with some sort of mixture of pity and incredulousness.

(also Norm Green is a pretty awful person, and Modano's recent turning heel is just sad)

I really like going to games in Dallas

it sucks when they are good because tix cost more

I would bitch about how much our playoff tickets cost but I know it would still be hilariously low compared to everyone else, so take blessings where you can get them, etc.

There has never been a time where Modano hasn't been a dick, other than his charitable efforts.

Fair, but there's a difference between it being a quiet background thing where casual fans probably won't see/hear about it and him being a big baby on Twitter. :v:

I'm attracted to frat bros with lovely tattoos who make gay jokes about a pair of highly respectable Swedish twins

I love how people will still whine about that without having listened to it and thus totally missing the context of that Benn was incredibly uncomfortable and goaded by our completely trash sports radio station "personalities".

(It's nice that I can completely trash The Ticket here without basically ostracizing myself from a good portion of the fanbase)

Wait, what? I must have missed this segment you're talking about.



But gently caress it. Benn rules, gently caress the haters.

That whole Bad Radio thing they did with Jamie and Tyler where the radio dudes were all "oh those Sedin twins, they're so weird, huh" and basically goaded them into insinuating the Sedins have gay incestual sex, and now no one will ever leave it be, and completely ignore context.
