Speculation that Josh Ho-Sang may be called up to be the Leafs weird 4th line PP specialist now that Spezza's getting suspended, I am very excited for him to make one play and have all of Leafs fandom become insufferable with takes

Leafs are over the cap and he doesn't have a pro contract. DOPS suspensions still count against the cap.

They'll probably make other roster moves too. It is kind of funny that Dermott didn't play last night and the remaining slow rear end D got torched repeatedly but I guess that problem is also being solved.

They don’t have any b2bs until the 19th (6 games) so if Mrazak “needs another week” they can do whatever with minimum level salaries until Spezza is back. pseudodragon fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Dec 6, 2021 |

Obviously contingent on Ho-Sang signing a league-min deal which he would obviously jump at the chance to do Also mildly unrelated but I saw this go down in my timeline last night and this summary is 100% accurate: https://twitter.com/sleepenbaker/status/1467939191820623875?s=20

DJExile posted:Pionik got 2 games That's two-to-infinity times more than I expected, but it also means Spezza's likely to get 3-4. He should have known better and made a safer play like slewfooting Pionk. Meanwhile, Sandin is apparently out 2-3 weeks, which is considerably less than I expected.

The Spezza hit reminds me of the Kadri suspension in the first Boston series because it’s absolutely a revenge-motivated move to light a guy up but the guy also falls, so instead of a common bit of hockey violence that may or may not be called it became attempted murder. But Pionk also took a run at Marner after he scored an empty netter last season so gently caress that guy, if you’re always “late” or “just missing” dangerous open ice checks then you shouldn’t make them

It’s going to feel so weird hoping for the Canucks to win without worrying every win would make ownership decide to keep management in place. I’m so excited to enjoy hockey again.

Pionk was fully down on one knee with no stick when spezza lined up the hit. He wasn't falling he was trying to play the puck out with his hand. The best that could have happened was an elbow to the head

The best that could have happened was an elbow to the head I think the swiping motion when he goes for the puck and how it twists him around is what takes Spezza’s contact from “obviously bad idea” to “out of control monster.” I’m not defending Spezza’s decision making out there, he should never have gone for it, but there is a tipping point where maybe he could have shoved or fallen on him to instant suspension that happens in the sequence. e: Also I should be clear, Spezza should be suspended and he should be suspended longer than Pionk, imo

The one somewhat charitable thing I can say about Canucks' management and ownership is that they are concerned about tarnishing their brand (well, from things other than being dogshit at hockey, they didn't care about that at all) Their anthem singer was publicly dumped as soon as he took to Twitter with anti-vax nonsense; when the Virtanen news came out he was booted off the team and management hid in a cave until it blew over. I would be very, very surprised if they hired Bergevin. And I'd also be done done for real with this team.

God I can't believe Jim Benning is gone. It's like a cloud has lifted from my life. He was hired before I met my wife, who I now have a house and kid with, Really looking forward to tonight's Canucks game for the first time in like, years.

Makar opens his hips like that while walking the blueline and it always freezes the guy on him. I don't think there's many players close to his value in the league right now.
