If only Crosby beat up his boyfriend so he could be suspended for domestic violence.

Only a Flyers fan could say this with a straight face after Giroux's little "incident" in Ottawa this past summer

Speaking of the Flyers roster and the trades they have made over the years, it is kind of funny to think that many of their big trades were of players very effective against the Pens and annoying to play against. It is almost like they have been trying to dismantle their team to make it less effective against the Pens. First it was Richards, then JVR, and most recently Hartnell. The latter two were especially lethal when on the same team because of JVR's tendency to stand in front of opposing goaltenders (and his size) and Hartnell's tendency to run over goaltenders. To keep this trend going you guys need to trade Simmonds next, not Schenn. We'll give you Scuderi (you need defense, right?) and a second round pick for him .

Less Effective? How many games did Pittsburgh win against Philly last season? 1 out of 5 Oh yea That's right! Philly Dominated the Pens last season

Voynov arrested? Wow, wouldn't have expected that. Not ideal for the Kings to be honest.

That's a bold opinion TBH, IMHO.

Both Schenns not as advertised
- Popcorn Kid

Both were hugely oversold by national media here. Not their fault.

B.Schenn constantly had his tires pumped despite being completely unable to battle through adversity in Junior.

Ray Rice is Russian?
- bcallaway

yeah, he did great in the media after that. As a Russian I can tell you the sentiment in Russian society is very different when it comes to this matter. Kovalchuk called Varly's girlfriend a princess after she got beat up.

If I'm being 100% honest and truthful, that's bad news for the Kings, seriously.

How many games have we played the pens in their new home and lost?not many I think. I think we have owned the pens for a couple years now

...alright I'll be the one to say it. This is an issue of Russian vs. Western standards of what's acceptable between a husband and wife.
- TheJerseyDevil1

I'm sure it probably wasn't your intent but it sounds like you're making excuses for the guy. I don't know if it's acceptable there, I'm not Russian. He's not in Russia though. Also, I'm sure there are plenty of Russian men who don't think it's acceptable to beat their wife.

Which would be great if this was Russia. Is this Russia? No, this isn't Russia.

Truthishly, I would tend to agree with this thought if I'm being honest, tbh imho. smh.

Well I'm 3/4 human on my father's side, and in our culture it doesn't matter what cultural norms there are, beating women ain't cool.

Bl.. nah, too easy.

If you were a Bruins fan you would have went there

There is one thing for certain about this whole Voynov mess...Sutter is going to mutter something inaudible about it during a press conference.

all I hear is "waaaaaa"

That's for sure.

It was probably Pronger who suspended him. Trying to give the Flyers an advantage when they play them next week.

Bettman wouldnt press charges on crosby.

Not in a domestic setting .

just a little constructive criticism next time you do a blog such as this please don't put domestic violence in with other statistic some other hockey players are other rumors it makes this sound just like another category of player development
