Did u see the hit? Dirty. Ppl that say they want him on our team, no thanks.
- nyrangers9479

Yup I saw it. Love how they were trying to defend the hit saying he got the shoulder then followed thru to the head or whatever horse manure excuse they used. This why head shots are still an issue bc they don't hold the star players accountable for stuff like that. How many dirty hits has Malkin gotten away with?

They had a "King" fighting the "knight" on the ice. GREAT!!!

Those glasses that musicians were wearing were hilarious

So this is what we get having a hockey team in Vegas.
So the "King" brought a flag to a sword fight?
This was all I could think of while watching that.

Good to see Vegas win after the Medieval Times dinner show. The best part was the guy who was jogging up the stairs to get to the concession stand (or the restroom). He had to step around the drummer who was on camera.

How about the fat chick wearing mini shorts standing next to the drummer?

That’s a dirty hit by Doughty. Announcers are trying to defend it saying he might have gotten the 8 on the 28 on his sleeve before throwing his shoulder into his face. GTFO. Doughty was pissed Carrier has 10 hits and 5 have been on Doughty. Dirty hit.
- nyrangers9479

Yup, that's Doughty. Got him off his game, retaliated, and no call.

SOMEONE on this board doesnt refer to her as "the fat chick wearing mini shorts", they refer to her as "my girlfriend"

JR interviewing the Elvises was a riot.
My buddy thinks JR has a stake in VGK. Anyone hear that?

If he doesn’t have a stake, you know Jagr will buy in at some point.

So you're ok with goons that have ZERO ability but don't want Doughty?

What a time to be alive.

I had to deal with a 2 week period of why guys like Brendan Smith and Cody McLeod were needed because they fought people. But Doughty? Nope can't have that on my team. #NotMyTeamOfGoodHockeyPlayers.

Don't think many people want Smith b/c he fought people...he was signed because of his "toughness" and overall play in last year's playoffs. His fighting ability was never really given as a reason he should be on roster.

Bottom line is that NYR needs players, who (as Torts would say) have Jam in their game. Smith did have that and we should all hope he gets that back, as well as the rest of his game.

Or...are you a believer he should be bought out?

Yes you buy him out. The organization has 4 other left handed D in the system now. Brendan Smith stinks.

Why not see where he stands after next year, and buy him out after season if he doesn't turn it around? Its not like his cap hit will kill NYR next year.

If he turns it around than NYR gets its hard nosed dman they thought they were signing last year, and if not, buy him out next summer w/ one less year of dead cap space.

Is their an incentive to buying him out this year vs next year that I'm missing?

No, you give him the offseason with Ben Prentiss to get himself in shape and hope his bruised ego and a season in the minors riding buses was enough motivation that it forces him to get back to NHL shape. Then if you can, and want to, you trade him to a contender at the deadline who needs some grit and clear up some cap space

Not any more, thanks to "Reddening". I think it's only around $1MM.

Yeah they have space bury him. But that is just waste of 3.7 million cap dollars. Brendan Smith and Marc Staal should become expendable over the next couple of years.

Terrible, wasn't it? The players were wondering if they would ever go out on the ice.
