This is very cool. I wonder if UW will make noises about going D1. I can certainly see an eventual pared down Pac-whatever the fuck it is with UW, Stanford, UCLA, USC, ASU, and Colorado making the jump. And they could accommodate the two Alaska schools and finally end that nightmare.

Generally speaking I am opposed to factory schools in D-1 (cough disband the Big except Wisco and Minny uncough) but I would welcome a Pac-8ish and not just because I will be living within walking distance of the ASU campus.
 
I am becoming slightly more optimistic about the Red Wings but I am happy they continue to lose games. Gimme more draft picks.

Watching them- I kind of wish Blashill would get the team to increase the team's focus on defense- since they struggle scoring, it's those 5 min spans where the game goes from tied to 2 down. Mostly in the 3rd period. And while talent will help- at this point, just focus would go a long way.

Wilson needs to go- ESPN is showing his dirty hits recently. How in the world did he not get a penalty- that was an easily reviewable penalty last night.

I'm not a Bruins fan but I am a hockey fan and I believe Wilson should have gotten a match penalty. The NHL's joke Dept. of Player Safety won't do anything meaningful. Prob get 4 games reduced to 2 on appeal.
Tinordi(2nd game as a Bruin after being waived by Nashville)gave him a pretty good thumping though.

Once I'd heard he got called on the carpet it was gonna be at least 6. Can't figure why he does that shyt because he's a decent player. Still a pos though.

This is his FIFTH career suspension, and second longest. He was previously suspended for 20 games in 2018 (reduced to 14) for a lesser play. At that time, those four suspension were racked up within 105 games played.

What ever happened to increasing the fine for the same bad play? Shouldn't it be at least assigned to 25 games?

I never understand the players association defending players who go out and physically hurt their own members. I know they are a union and all, but shouldn't they also defend the player who had to go to the hospital due to a head injury? With all of the evidence of concussion and brain damage, perhaps the players can start looking at themselves, too, instead of the NHL, since they are the ones decreasing the penalty for causing these career risking injuries.

If Wilson is ever traded the Caps will put him in the hospital. He's garbage. Ulf Samuelsson, Marty McSorley, Todd Bertuzzi, Matt Cooke, Bryan Marchment, Dale Hunter, Chris Neil, Tie Domi, Bobby Clarke, Rich Pilon, Tiger Williams, Scott Hartnell, these guys are all just wastes of carbon, even -- especially -- the ones (Clarke, Samuelsson, Williams) who had talent.
 
If I were to write a "Reverse Stanley Cup Final", a one game loser-take-all match to show who's worst in the league, would there be any interest?

I normally do the Bottom Feeders in D-1, but that is on hiatus this season.

It's a long way to go to get Detroit another title.

It is funny(?) that I think the defense is actually their strong point. If there is a strong point a 7-16-3 team can have. If they could fix their powerplay and never give Bernier a game off they could be dangerously close to mediocre. ;-)

I kind of agree that it's good. For 55 min. Or at least good enough for those 55 min.
