Big deal, Joe Colbourne did that around this time of the year a couple seasons ago.

Right and PMB was just let go so Strome is on the way up.

James Neal only gets 5 games... is this a joke? He could have ended Marchands career... There is an unwritten rule in hockey that when a guy is down you never kick him are hit him with your leg, especially in the head...

What a joke...

I guess my asking price or your asking price for Reimer and Gardiner weren't up to snuff for the Islanders fan. Ah well. Not like we can make the deal anyways lol.

shannaban is a JOKE~

he's only been a pro for 2 months and there are reports today that with the PMB waive, he'll be called up any day now.

It must be written somewhere.... otherwise, how do we know it even exists? I'm feeling anxiety over this...

Yeah, that's exactly it.

I mean that it is a 'no-no'...

I remember when I was about 17 one of my teammates had fallen on the ice and one of the opponents kicked him. It is a taboo in hockey. Instant brawl...

And he's a repeat offender, if he only gets 5 for that, Phaneuf is gonna get a slap on the wrist.

Neal only got 5 games because the principal point of contact was the Nose, not the Head....

I really think the D needs an overhaul. Franson is a huge disappointment this year. Fraser looks out of place. Ranger is playing like a $1M D, not much more, Gunnarsson looks lost.

Only two players I've like have been Dion and Gardiner (in the last few games).

We need D that will go into the corners and win battles.

That's a taboo in life...

Only deal I do with NYI is for Strome.

Reimer, Cody Franson, and a 2nd for Strome.
- ILoveLamp

the leafs would need something else from islanders for that.
the 2nd would have to be 2016.

we traded a strome for a 4th

Then you and I are on the same page.
I've been really disappointed in Franson.

its too bad he didnt end his career.

i hate Marchand as much as anyone and i believe he brought this on himself, but there's just no room for that kind of play. you don't go knee to head on anyone, whoever they are.

And he's a repeat offender, if he only gets 5 for that, Phaneuf is gonna get a slap on the wrist.
- peddy-93

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, Phaneuf will get a suspension. The Bruins will only get a suspension because the league cannot look the other way any longer because of the optics.

I wish one of the Leafs on the ice had picked up the water bottle off the ice and cracked him in his big fat nose with it.

what's in person mean? a minimum of 5 games?

got suspended for failure

- DoubleDown

Phone hearing under 6, in person 6 plus.

That is what I got from some tweets. 6 plus games can be appealed through Bettman first then an independent arbitrator.

- LeafMan

Yeah, I know Phaneuf will get one, but its just how inconsistent this league is when it comes to this matter. Remember that day we all loved using the word consistency? Yeah, they have a hard time doing that.

I've been really disappointed in Franson.

yeah.. he puts up points.. big whoop
