Eric and Jordan Staal got arrested because they got hammered at Eric's bachelor party and were throwing rocks at cars.

Also, Jordan wasn't old enough to be drinking in the U.S.

Matthews will be fine.

Except, maybe, for the trying to get into that lady's car part, if it's true. That's a bit alarming.

Nobody truly cares.

Let's move on to the Tkachuk deal. Bridge deal at 7 million per. Kind of crazy when Aho is signed for 5 years at just over 8.

What's the amount on the third year?

Just for clarity ...b/c a lot of people have only skimmed the report.

I read 'they' basically tried to scare her in some stupid drunk prank.

She didn't like it and lectured them.

They walked away laughing and AM pulled the walk away with his pants around his ankles.

They then begged her not to report it.

She filed a complaint 2 days later citing sexual crime/assault.

Police investigated by speaking to her/watching the video/speaking to him and concluded that no sex crime took place ....they instead charged him with being a drunken dummy.

If I'm his Dad I'm telling him he needs to grow the (frank) up. I'm telling him we all make poor judgments and I probably crack two beers and tell him a few cool stories from my early 20's. Then I tell him the right thing to do was to apologize to her immediately when it happened b/c she was right and they made a stupid mistake.

And then I rake him over the coals for thinking that mooning someone is funny/cool after the age of 12. (frank)ing nerd.

The whole thing will blow over in a couple days. Besides the normal trolls bringing it up and trying to make it into a big deal five years from now

Roomer is no cuts until after tonight's game.

Are the Habs dressing an Ahl lineup tonight?

My wild guess:

Monday afternoon they were planning to send AHL scrubs.

After Monday night, they've re-thought that plan.

The incident will be what he’s best remembered for.

Nope, similar lineup as last game.... Half NHL players half hopefuls

Suzuki will be playing too.

- BINGO!

So keep in mind, I'm like the detective in Manhunter - I can see into the minds of other drunks.

I think that breaking into a security car is what they thought would be funny.

And it would be funny if you were 22 and drunk.

I'm still a little shocked by the numbers I'm seeing.

With all of these guys holding out for so long, I thought they were all gunning for more money than what Aho got.

Turns out only Marner so far did.

Even Goddamn Point signed for less.

I'm really curious where Laine/Connor/Rantanen will fall.

We cant forget these are all bridge deals. 6 years seem like the new long term deal.

- Scabeh

How is Suzuki doing?

9 million.
- Aaron_85

We only need one of the guys who took bridge deals to go to arbitration, take a one year contract and then become a UFA and sign with another team.

Then we can go on every other thread and say, "See, we told you so - it was smart to lock up Marner long-term!"

I can't wait.

Suck it, Scabby!!!!!

So Matthews got drunk and did something disrespectful... neither are a crime...
- SofaKingBored

Apparently it is a crime of sorts down in AZ... I thought that was the point of the story and the police being involved...

I'm sure if it was anyone else you'd have a different opinion...

but considering you have your lips on his ass I'm not surprised at your opinion

How is Suzuki doing?
- RafiDRW

Pretty good.

Went from "probably going to Laval" to "might make the team because he's looking like one of the better players in each game he plays".

He's such a smart player. It's fun to watch.

3 vs. 5 vs. 6 is a really big part of that equation.

Those players have a tonne of leverage after year 3. The QO's will be 9+ but they players can file for arb for 1 yr and walk into UFAgency.

I doubt any of them want to leave but it gives them a tonne of leverage on their next deals. They'll be one yr from UFA so they'll be signing UFA $$. Judging what Tavares and Panarin and the other elite UFA's are getting years 4-6 are probably 12+ if these guys keep proving they are elite.

No, she filed a sexual assault / harassment complaint... police investigated, reviewed video footage and interviewed all involved... they realized she was not sexually assaulted or abused but gave him a fine...

Nice, some real hockey tonight ...hopefully.

You guys got a steal in that Patches trade. Suzuki always looked good AND you recurved one of my favorite players in Tatar.
