November 19Nov 19 Author lol, that sounds like a you thing. anyway, the play sucked for all involved, especially Romanov. I will be the first to admit if a player on my team does some dirty shit because I want that gone like the plague from any team I follow. I truly don't believe Mikko's intent was to injure Romanov and the league agreed. what's likely not apparent to you is that it is obvious to us your bias when talking about anyone but colorado. but then again, that's my general observation about avs fans: very knowledgeable about their team, but that's where their hockey knowledge ends. it's ok, just admit you don't follow other teams and leave the league analysis to those who do. cheers.

November 20Nov 20 Rantanen will have to answer for that hit in their next game against the Islanders, as he should. Intent doesn’t fucking matter here, he was out of control and laid a dirty hit. Let him answer the bell and take a few slashes to the back of his legs and move on. It’s fucking hockey.

I still very much doubt mikko will lose any sleep over it

He'll fight anyone but he's smart enough not to most of the time. Mikko is just soft, dude. It's who he is. Doesn't make him any less of a scorer, but that's just not him.
November 20Nov 20 Has Rantanen ever registered a fight in the NHL? I’ve never seen him drop the gloves or even start a scrum in front of the net, though I don’t watch many Avs/Stars games. He’s a big forward but toughness and intimidation really aren’t a function of his game. Guess we’ll see how he does when he’s forced to answer the bell against the Islanders.

In 10+ years of watching him play (and I watch probably 90% of all Avs games) I can't recall a single time he's dropped the gloves. I might be wrong because I'm not gonna look it up, but I don't remember it. I remember lots of times where guys would try and start it with him and Landy would step in.

November 20Nov 20 Author I stopped caring about this subject several posts ago. This is now me laughing at your self-assertiveness, wrong or not. just funny to me when you could literally spend 5 seconds, get the answer, and know you're right. just amazing cognitive dissonance. anywho ooga booga hockey fights are super important that's why they're almost non-existent (and therefore more meaningful) in the modern game. but go on if that's your metric for manliness, toughness, and hockey prowess. you're gonna super hate the game going forward

Not sure what point you’re trying to drive home here, but maybe having to watch Jason Robertson play has soften your stance towards fighting and toughness in general. Fighting isn’t going anywhere and won’t for a long time. In fact, compared to the mid 2010s, the physicality and fighting has increased as the pussies on Twitter (and apparently this thread) have been shunned for trying to make the sport soft. Let your Finnish giant answer the bell and then move the fuck on. Edited November 20Nov 20 by Vertuzzi
November 21Nov 21 GR8 … 907 … 33d career hat + assist Caps 15G in last 2 games. Hopefully, turning the corner on a mediocre start …🤞
November 23Nov 23 I might have to revisit what I said about Mikko not being a dirty player. 2 in one week? Will this one be a suspension?And then add on the flopping. He's truly become a Star.

They announced it in the arena. they may not have announced Mikko's, but if Huberdeau is getting one it only seems logical Mikko will get one too. can't have a 1-man fight, at least not in public.
December 5Dec 5 Author Hearing DeBoer to Kings. That would be kinda weird. Wonder if he has to promise not to throw his starting goalie under the bus before signing. dildo.
December 6Dec 6 Jackets and panthers 6-6 in OT. 7 goals in the second. Was 4-1 cbs then 4-4 then 6-4 cbs before 6-6. and a bad turnover leads to a 2 on 1 and gwg with 3 seconds left for a Florida win. Edited December 6Dec 6 by Pato del Muerto
December 8Dec 8 Rumors beginning to swirl about Vancouver possibly trading Quinn Hughes to Detroit. The two teams actually play each other tonight.
December 10Dec 10 Author 11 hours ago, markstanco said: It seems like the western conference doesn’t suck. Got dayum. both conferences could make the argument as having the best division, central vs metro. East: Atlantic - Points% - 55% Points% by teams currently in a playoff spot: 59% East: Metro - Points% - 60% Points% by teams currently in a playoff spot: 63% West: Central - Points% - 58% Points% by teams currently in a playoff spot: 73% West: Pacific - Points% - 54% Points% by teams currently in a playoff spot: 59% One of these divisions is certainly different than the others. While the Metro can boast the most mid-good teams, the central has the two best teams in the league and it ain't close (at least right now). the Ducks picked an excellent year to climb out of the cellar as the Pacific has never been more winnable by someone other than VGK or EDM
December 13Dec 13 Massive trade tonight. Vancouver trades Quinn Hughes to Wild for three former 1st round picks and unprotected first in 2026.
December 13Dec 13 yeah that trade is absolutely nuts from the Minnesota standpoint when all indications have been that Hughes will not sign anywhere other than New Jersey in a year and a half. Guerin just about has to make him a 14 million dollar defenseman this offseason to have any chance in hell of keeping him.

He’s the second best offensive defenseman in the NHL. On the open market he’s probably getting $15MM-$16MM.

December 13Dec 13 Author the central now has the four best defensemen in the league: Makar, Heiskanen, Hughes, and Morissey
