Marchand should have gotten more.

This.

PHF (evidently no longer the NWHL) championship is on ESPN2. How is this league affording 750k salary caps when its championship is being held in a rink that seats ~1000.

Al Sobotka has been terminated by the Wings, reasons not given.

Was with the organization 51 years.

If it was retirement, they would have said so. If it was a substance abuse problem he would have been on leave.

Seems he did something inappropriate....

And no one's talking. I know the ice at the Big Pizza Box has been poor recently, but that can't be all on Al.

They had the place designed before inviting the Pistons to join them. Rumor is they failed to upgrade the ice plant to account for the basketball court.

Even a new goalie can't fix the Wild's abysmal play vs the Predators this year. Outscored like 17-6 in 3 games.

Is this a legal hit? I was under the impression that if you left the ice, or launched yourself, that was a no-no.

As much as I hate Marchand, I think it's legal. He didn't leave the ice (his one foot is down the entire time), and he didn't go headhunting, the shoulder was at chest level, the other guy just was in an unfortunate position.

Agreed. I hate Marchand, but that is clean.

Just giving them a false sense of security if we end up paying them in the postseason. Same goes for the Blues.

Ryan Hartman and Evander Kane went at it last night. Hartman flipped him off as he was being dragged away and was fined today.

fans found Hartman on Venmo, and have been donating. It appears kanes ex wife is one of them lol

It might not be just Wild fans, either. People that claim they are Sharks fans are chipping in too. The whole thing is funny.

What a piece of shit. Hope someone pisses on his grave.

Al Sobotka was reportedly terminated for peeing into a drain at work.

You just can't do that.

Al Sobotka was reportedly terminated for peeing into a drain at work.

You just can't do that.

And he’s suing the Red Wings over it.

Claims he’s being discriminated against because he’s got a medical condition.
