Not good. Not going to last long in the NHL if he can't take being benched in junior.

anyone know why he was benched? seems a bit strange that someone would leave a team over being benched, unless there is some off ice issues

There doesn't seem to be a lot of details except he took penalty for slashing. Probably wasn't the first time he put himself before the interests of the team.

Good thing you have Kovalchuk to score 5 goals every game in order to win.



Biggest joke ever.. enjoy the bottom of the standings for a few years.

hfboards has a good post about this situation... seems like there really is some holes in the story about what actually happened... he was released from the team, but they are not taking him off the protected list so he can't play elsewhere until after the season... makes no sense if you want him gone...

Let's cut the kid a bit of slack - 18 year olds are still young enough to be forgiven for rash decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Tallinder equals no thanks.

Care to shed light on Josefson and Urbom?

Tom Gulitti ‏@TGfireandice 3m Lamoriello said he hasn't spoken to Matteau yet, but talked to Blainville-Boisbriand GM and supports his decision, which he called "mutual".

You can expect that he'll be hearing from Devils GM, Lou Lamoriello, in the near future.

Son, we're disappointed with you, but we don't want to cut ties with you. As punishment, we're forcing you to play on Buffalo's top line for the remainder of the year. However, we understand if you'd prefer retirement.

This has to be an awkward situation given his father is an assistant coach for the Armada
