Idk.

Just want to point out there's also the "forgotten concussion" from last year.

http://www.espn.com/nhl/s...bres-diagnosed-concussion

So that's at least three concussions in two years

I feel awful for Okposo.. guy should have never been put int that position to begin with. First the hit from behind was NOTHING. Second one of his lame ass teammates should of stepped in and stopped it before it started. 3 concussion in 3 years and 1 with serious side affects. Okposo has no business fighting. It just shows that this team plays with no heart.

I could care less about the team being shatty, but to leave a vet player out to defend himself against a younger tougher player that has been in more fights in a short career then okposo has been in his entire career is gutless.

Just my opinion.

don't watch a porn with Jan and June and discuss trading for a player's rights

you may mix up the "months"

Jan was a busty redhead
June was a freaky brunette

Great, the Panthers

It was Larsson, Girgensons, McCabe and Pilut on the ice. When the alternate captain says he's gonna fight, they're going to defer to him.

I'm sure they didn't think they need to stick up for the 30-year old, 220 lb alternate captain.

He made a poor choice to fight, and he paid the price.

Did we ever find out what that "serious" injury Okposo had actually was? I suspected meningitis but I'm not sure the actual problem ever got released.

PM me if you have an inside to the actual problem, I'm very interested in exactly what was so severe.

Yeah, dude. He basically had a complete mental breakdown and it was strongly implied that it resulted from childhood sexual abuse. He wanted to throw himself out of a window, and he basically couldn't talk for a few days. They almost put him in the psych ward

I don't want to be cold, but once he drops his gloves, it's on him.

Very unfortunate for KOposo.

I want another line shuffle (experiment). I think Jack has been a mild puck hog. Players are looking to pass to him even if he is not open, he is ragging the puck too much at times.
Skinner-Erod-Reinhart.
Skinner can snipe and finds ways to get open. Sam can pass the puck and Erod will free up some space. Jack can then go do this thing with Pommer and Sheary.
Let Mitts go with Tage and CJ.
I would like to see what Skinner would do on that line. Especially if Buff plans to give him north of 8.25. What if Jack goes down long term. Same can be said for Sam, how much better would he be.

I've more concern for mitts in this lineup...he was with Thompson before and it didn't work out all that well...but you are right about jack, they try way too hard to get him the puck when he's not open

They should never have broken up Mitts and Sam. Love the new lines.

Who implied that? The thorough story I read mentioned childhood trauma, but that could be a number of things.
