Yeah it was practice, but no matter how much you dislike him, its bad for the NHL and the fans. I don't know if he will come back from this one. The last one he was thinking about hanging it up.

Arizona's Zbynek Michalek is on waivers.
Michalek had two goals and seven points in 70 games last season. It's a bit of a surprise to see him among those waived Monday, but this won't impact the vast majority of fantasy teams.

- SABRES 89



At this time he's no better than Georges or Franson.

Seems like he's following the path of Mario Lemieux in more ways than one.

Saw some where he wiped out and head first into the goal post . Could have been a dream.

I like what I see from Reinhart so far. He looks a little bigger and faster. I saw he is a 30-30 guy this year and they play the Eichel line to score more and ROR gets the tougher shut down assignments.

Eichel-68 points
Reinhart-62 points
Okposo/ROR- 59 points

Come at me bro LOL

Would love it! I don't see it though.

McDavid wins the Art Ross though.

I agree if he stays healthy (I know you can say that about anyone). But the style (SO FAST!!!) he plays, dodging between dmen and such he is bound to get a few extra trips (because he embarrasses players) and rough hits in the corner (to try and slow him down), I worry about him staying healthy. Similar to a Crosby, but normally Crosby is really good an avoiding the bad hits, and for the game of hockey I hope McDavid can do the same.

mcneil and pulkannen are an upgrade over grant IMO
- homiedclown



I think Grant has earned a shot, but...

If we wanted to bring those guys in, I'm totally ok with it
Pulkkinen will prob start in the press box till his shoulder is 100% anyways
I wonder why Detroit just didn't put him on IR for now?

I could see that
And I really don't think it's all that bold
O'Reilly will continue to get tough defensive assignments
And we should expect Sam to continue to progress, especially offensively
Chemistry developed with Jack should help his Assist #s go up too

My estimates:
Eichel 30-40-70pts
Reinhart 25-35-60pts
O'Reilly 25-35-60pts
Okposo 25-35-60pts
Ennis 20-30-50pts
Kane 25-20-45pts

Something in those ballparks anyways

Is that kind of like "Antique WWII French rifle, great condition, never fired, only dropped once!"

Did Holtby even play?

Considering you could just buy a mask and have it painted the same.
- Garnie


The only way it's worth that kind of money, and even then, no, no it's not, is if he literally used his head to stop a puck in OT of game 3 and then Crosby picked it up and skated down the ice and scored the golden goal. And you could see where the puck hit the mask.

A backup goalie's mask is not worth $21,650. No (frank)ing way.

Edit: After reading the description I retract my rant. Assuming will get you every time.
