Yowza!

Chelios was asked about Bettman. "Let's not mention that name on this call. This is a good day."

Excellent signing. It makes signing Stepan and Hags a little tight on $, but overall a good deal for both the Rangers and MCD.



And I can't wait for Cooke to, well be his normal self, and then watch/read the reactions of the Wild fans.

I gotta imagine Stepan is going to command some good $$$ after the season he had....Hagelin shouldn't be worth more than $2 mil in my opinion.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

So 130 games without a major penalty or suspension isn't change? Look, the guy was a goon and that reputation isn't gone. I hated the signing but after listening to his interview on KFAN and looking at the stats since his 2010-11 season its obvious that he realized he needed to change his game and he has. He's had less penalty minutes in the last 2 seasons combined than any of the previous 4 seasons individually.

Goon is the wrong word. Cheap shot artist is more applicable. To be a goon you don't turtle when someone wants to fight.

I'm willing to give the guy a chance. It's not like the league does anything to get this crap out of the game. Dustin Brown has flourished and he's as bad now as Matt Cooke ever was.

Keep telling yourself that when he does something stupid and gets yet another suspension. He's changed, honest!

You mean the player he hasn't been for the past 2 seasons?

Time will tell, but I certainly do not believe he has changed. I find his play of the 11-12 season an anomaly and not the rule. And, well, I am suspicious of the Karlsson hit from this past season. Even if not intentional, he still involved is an act that should not have happened.

Obligatory Sens fanboi comment about how Cooke bladed Player #65 on purpose.

/not a sens fan and don't think it was intentional.

I'd erect churches in Cooke's honor if he did to Neil.

Considering his history, there is no doubt that if the league thought it was intentional, he would have been suspended.
That's something the fanboys can't seem to grasp.

Rangers reportedly signed McDonagh to a 6-year extension worth $4.7 Mil. per.
