Neither will the 0% PP.

I'm aware of that as well.

I am in no way upset with the way the Wild have been playing. I'm just saying that if the powerplay doesn't pick it up we're gonna be screwed. The games in Anaheim and LA were very winnable even without a PPG or two.

The Wild are the best team in the league so far 5 on 5; yet to give up a goal that way. They're playing very well, and are lucky they have time to work out the PP when virtually every other part of their game is flawless.

They could of at least gotten a point in either one of them had they converted on a powerplay. Frustrating but they will get it figured out.

Stirring tribute to Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal.

Tears in my eyes and proud to be Canadian. Thanks Hockey Night in Canada.

I saw on Twitter that the Wild's Marco Scandella scored a Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

Wow, what an epic meltdown from the Wild. How many goals had they given up coming in?

Edit: 4 goals against in their first 6 games. 5 goals against tonight...in the third period.

Rangers are a bunch of hacks.

Hit on Brodin was bad enough and suspendable. This one takes the cake.

Cooke wishes he could get his knee that high.




Both hits were bad/dangerous, but Moore is a POS with a history. Hope he's gone for a while. Clearly targeted the head and Haula is probably out for at least a game or two - which because it's the NHL, that will be a mitigating factor. Shouldn't be, but that's how they do it.

The boarding was dangerous and scary, but probably won't be more that a game.

Seems out of character for the Rangers although I don't watch them much so maybe it's their deal.


Hate that crap that Moore did.

Also hate the morons who will come out with... gotta keep your head up... 20 years ago that was a good hit... he hit his shoulder (even though it's clear that he hit his head)... he didn't have time to adjust... blah, blah, blah... etc...

hfboards is already up to 850 posts on these two hits.

Took me one page to find...

"I have no problem with the Moore hit and feel it should be a 100% legal play, but I guess it's a suspension now."

:rolleyes:

Not shocked. Considering both LA and the Rangers have players like this on the team and they both made the Cup Finals last year I'm reconsidering Cooke's decision to try and go clean. Maybe the Wild should find a Claude Lemieux (sp?) to play on the team for the rest of the season.
 
Re: NHL 2015 - Trouble Bruin! Ranger Leaf jumped the King Shark! Just Ducky!

Moore got suspended for a hit pretty similar to that on Dale Weise in the playoffs last year. This one was, I think, a more obvious elbow, but the one last season was from a worse angle. (On the other hand, people who think "the players should police themselves," of which I am not one, would argue that the hit on Weise was "justifiable" because it was retribution for the hit where Brandon Prust broke Derek Stepan's jaw earlier in the series. As far as I know, there wasn't any such provocation here, other than a whiff of the Miami Heat in the Wild's team construction and the general obnoxiousness of Matt Cooke at least.) He deserves to sit for a few games at least.

Looking at this with a bit of introspection, I wonder how much my view of it is influenced by the fact that Moore is (if you ask me) a defensive liability in addition to picking up costly penalties and suspensions. It was easier for Devils fans to turn a blind eye to Scott Stevens' headhunting when he was a useful player in other aspects of the game.
