NHL 2016.2: An All-Canada Final (Playoffs and Off-season)

Re: NHL 2016.2: An All-Canada Final (Playoffs and Off-season)

Sid officially out for game 4, concussion. Sheary as well.

This is what, his fourth or fifth diagnosed concussion while in the NHL? Plus those "upper body" or "flu" days that may have been concussions? Plus however many diagnosed and undiagnosed in the QMJHL?

As much as I may dislike the kid, he doesn't deserve to go through this.

Yeah I hate Sid, but what niskanen did sucked.

I wonder how much he is considering retirement for the sake of his life post-hockey. It certainly isn't causing him issues as far as performance on the ice, but CTE is a scary thing.

Good grief, Collins. It's a minor miracle that didn't turn into an inside-the-park job there.

Say what you want, but I'm enjoying this Predators/Blues game. Goalies putting on a show, and some good hard playoff hockey being played.

Which Penguin gets the honor of going after Niskainen tonight?

If the Penguins call up that goon from Wilkes Barre, we could be looking at Charleston - Syracuse.

If I'm Pittsburgh, I'm not sure a never-ending parade to the penalty box is what I'd be shooting for. Pretty quick way to get Washington back into this series.

I think that's a reactionary play by Niskanen. He is more focused on the puck and not getting taken out low by Crosby. Press the stick out to kinda push/stop Crosby's momentum but with Crosby going down it ends up getting him in the head.

That's kind of how I felt. I didn't think it had malicious intent.
 
Re: NHL 2016.2: An All-Canada Final (Playoffs and Off-season)

I agree as well, hate seeing the result (as much as most of us may or may not care for Sid, he's a phenomenal talent), but truly feel Niskanen had no intentions of trying to behead Sid.

Figure he had to decide to swap assignments from (guy at right side of net, forget who) to Sid in a split second, then a split second after that, Sid is going down and into La La land.

Very nice acting by the Pens dude in the final 2 mins to draw the penalty.
 
Re: NHL 2016.2: An All-Canada Final (Playoffs and Off-season)

Ya know, I'm not exactly a fan of any of the Canadian teams, but I wouldn't be upset seeing Edmonton win the west. These kids are fun, minus that sack tapper Lucic.
