They stayed where they were ranked.

I thought they were ranked seventh. Oh well, if so that's a first.

That Schiefele hit on Evans was brutal. Skates 200 feet to blow up a vulnerable player icing the game with less than a minute left. Absolute gutter trash so naturally he'll get a fine and a stern talking to from DoPS.

but he was sooooo frustrated with the close checking... but he's not a dirty player... yabut it was a big time chickenshyte move; one that demands, at minimum, a 2 game suspension. So he's having a hearing with DoPS - but not an in-person hearing, so he won't get more than a 5 game suspension - ha, as if!

Him standing there afterwards with that dumb "who, me?" look on his face when you could tell after he threw the hit that he was expecting someone to come at him really takes the cake

10 years ago they were writing about his lacklustre playoff performances. You think he has been better since then?

ha! That noob who wrote your linked article was going to college at the time he wrote it - pursuing a journalism degree... not even a real, legitimate, bonafide sports writer! Your linked article is dated Apr, 2011 - the waldo is quite taken with this coinciding resume point for your linked to 'writer'... highlighting his clickbait prowess:

Quote
Skills - SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

-Acquired while working at Bleacher Report, Inc.  I managed to add substantial amounts of reader traffic towards content by identifying key words that would increase page views on popular search engines.

your linked to article was published by the Bleacher Report... which has come a long way since TBS acquired it in 2012. However, wiki provides some insight into the writings of the early days; the early days in which your linked to article was published - enjoy:

Quote
Early criticism of Bleacher Report stemmed from the network's initial commitment to an open publishing model. Such critiques cited the fact that all registered users on the website were permitted to publish articles on the site, arguing that Bleacher Report's policy resulted in a glut of low-quality content, which made it difficult for the network's readers to find credible coverage of their favorite teams and sports. It was also argued that the model tarnished the reputation of every writer associated with the Bleacher Report brand, which made it difficult for the network's more talented contributors to build loyal audiences, and that it empowered unqualified writers without editorial oversight, which compromised the prestige and credibility of the sportswriting profession. SB Nation Senior MMA editor Luke Thomas described it as the "Walmart of Journalism" and its MMA coverage "toothless amateur coverage".

Since abandoning the content farm model in 2010, Bleacher Report has been the subject of continued criticism for its exploitation of unpaid contributors, its blanket policy prohibiting writers from breaking their own news, and its high-volume production of low-quality, search-optimized slideshow content. These critiques found their strongest voice to date in an October 2012 SF Weekly article, in which tech columnist and entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa was quoted accusing Bleacher Report of "dumbing down of the web" with "custom-manufactured garbage." In December 2012, a lampoon article in The Onion played on the same themes. In July 2014, Deadspin published a lengthy narrative written by Tom Schreier, a former Bleacher Report featured columnist. Detailing his journey from hopeful intern to "just one more drone pumping content to get clicked on," in three years, Schreier "wrote over 500 articles, generated nearly three million page views, and received $200 for [his] services."

member squiggy, you said, "they were writing". Do you have more... do you have anything written by a legitimate sports writer?

I said Thornton had a storied career... but, at 41 years old now, was past his prime. A googly has reminded me of the great career he had - you should give it a try, hey!

Quote from: Jets head coach Paul Maurice
You need to do everything you can to stop a goal from being scored. It was a heavy, heavy hit for sure but it was clean.

wow - a 4 game suspension... did not see that coming! I expect the building year-over-year criticism of DoPS's ever increasing inconsistency finally forced the hand of the head of player safety, George Parros.

Four games seems fair to me. Hopefully the habs take the series before it ends..

They know exactly what they’re doing….   Game #6 will have quite the buildup to it for his return.

They should remove hitting from hockey altogether. It is clearly not fit for these times, now that we know how concussions work. They don't need it in women's hockey and that is still exciting to watch.

I disagree, they just need to call the f**king rulebook and crack down harder on dangerous plays.

They need an appropriate enough punishment so the Habs don't feel they need to kick his arse upon the next time he skates against them.

Jets swept, now the Habs wait to see which of the big boys come out of the Avs/Knights series.
