Agree. I think he gets a couple games. I don’t know the how the rule is written but if a player gets a puck passed into his skates is he really in possession of the puck?

If the player he hit is out for awhile I am sure that will effect Trouba's punishment. The issue I have with that is the player he hit received his 3rd concussion over the last year from that hit. Is he more prone to concussions now? Should Trouba have to pay extra for that?

Its a good point. We all know that actual injury does affect severity of punishment. But what if the impacted player is more prone to injury?

Would that mean that players on ice would have to know the injury history of players they are about to hit if they want to avoid lengthy bans? Absurd, but esentially yes, they would.

Yandle worst plus minus on team at -15
7 points on the season 4 of them on the pp
3 points at 5 on 5 so he’s been on the ice for 18 ES goals against & everyone wants to say how awful he is at defense (which he is).

Captain bum -9
21 points 6 of them on pp
15 points at 5 on 5 so he’s been on the ice for 24 ES goals against & yet he’s such a competitor good defensively. It’s hilarious what some people choose to believe.

There’s been some shorthanded goals against so 5 on 5 numbers aren’t 100% accurate but within a number or two.

I’m sure everyone saw the Zegras assist, but just in case….🤩

Kinda filthy, kinda genius, but also seems like one of those things that will only work once.

Kids today have puck skills no one had 30 years ago. That play was crazy.

The puck is considered there so it's not an interference issue.
- MJL


Gotcha.
I wonder if they eventually implement a defenseless player rule like the NFL has

Besides the third pair on D it actually looks like somewhat of a presentable roster. Not ideal in any way but better than previous months.

That is exactly what I expect to hear when someone is in denial. Make it about the commenter not the facts presented. You’re the man

Do you think he was really going for the assist there, or trying it flip it in off Lukkonen and missed?

Anyone see or hear about this? Police dogs got to take the ice at WFC before Avs game and one took a dump right on the center ice logo? Very appropriate for the way we've been playing but also a bad omen for the rest of the year?

Like they'd need to do anything that fancy to score against the Flyers

toss in Allison and Ellis and you have a decent team, except the 3rd pair, consistent theme. If Yandle was just passable as a D, it would be helpful.

Brassard being back is great and all at the same time it is bad.

He was absolutely trying...he tries it in practice all the time apparently. Milano even yelled "Michigan" which is what they are supposed to yell to get his attention to try it.

BUT...they have never got it to work in practice....after the game he admitted it's the first time its actually worked.

They will loose 10 in a row.

5-1 NJ

- Fopa21


Agreed, they'll tie their all time consecutive loss record tonight then break it next game. This team is nothing but hateable in every single way.

You have to wonder if he’s hurt. As Tomohawk pointed out, in the pre season I thought this guy was a great add. He has looked so bad the last month.

I don't think so. He's never been good in his own end and playing on a team that is bad defensively, he is exposed. The problem is he can longer make up for it offensively.
