Solution: just eliminate offsides.

Like the two-line pass, nobody will miss it.

Sarcasm?

I hope.

That changes the entire game. If you'd like to see an example, and this goes for anyone, look up pro roller hockey games

I can't imagine Stamkos is going to be watching from a press box with his teams season on the line tomorrow night.

I read he might not play at all because blood clots are life threatening and he doesn't wanna hurt his value come UFA.

Someone else's words, not mine.

I would imagine if it is life threatening he would sit out so he doesn't die.

Touche

God no. The implications of that would be drastic to game flow, especially for d men. That would alter the game tenfold more than two line passing.

you do have quite a colorful imagination

You are absolutely right. To me, the biggest disappointment of that defense was Ryan Parent. Former first round player. Looked decent his rookie year when he saw time next to Kimmo Timonen. Ryan Parent should have turned out to be a real player and he never did.

Going back to that 2010 playoff team. Claude Giroux, Jake Voracek, Wayne Simmonds and Steve Mason in my opinion are the only players good enough today to be on that roster. This is how strong we were at forward. You put Mason in net and I think we take the Cup easy.

Coots absolutely could've played on that team. There were guys like carcillo, asham, powe, etc. Guys like coots as i said, even schenn/raffl, i think couldve played on that team for sure.

And the defensive third pairing was absolutely a mess. Lucas Krajicek and Bartulis were absolutely terrible. They make Manning and Gudas look like Pronger and Macinnis

The coaches challenge for offsides review is a horrible rule.

It has worked at times..........

From Sportsnet: "Brandon Wheat Kings players emerged from Wednesday’s morning practice wearing shorts, flip flops and hoodies. Except for Ivan Provorov: He wore a full suit and dress shoes."



Total boss.


EDIT: Uh oh. Have we considered whether he is part of the Russian mafia?

Reminds me of the story of Jim "Hacksaw" Reynolds for the 49'ers. At breakfast on the day of their first Superbowl appearance in the 80's, as the team members show up to eat, dressed in sweats, there's Jim, sitting at one of the tables completely dressed in his uniform, pads and all, fully taped and ready to go, sipping a cup of coffee.

THAT was O.G.!

I don't see him dropping to 18, or Hexy making a move to get him with all our D prospects already...

I see him possibly getting to #18 but would I target him specifically no.

I'm happy they didn't have the coach's challenge in 2012

That was close

Pavelski coming up minuscule yet again

GOAL PAVELSKI!

It's going to be sharks/pens and I'll be inconsolably weeping for 10 days.

doesn't it blow your mind that the team captain leads the team in scoring?
