Eklund: 3-1 Last Night….Plenty of games today…Today’s Picks

And first. Even though nobody cares about that either

I see that the Quebec hockey league in the CHL has totally removed fighting. How long until all hitting is removed and it is just a skating game like most rec leagues. We might as well change the sticks and just call it ringette

@saintdog19:

I totally agree with you! I mean, I remember hearing from Wade Belak's wife and kids said that all those pussies who say fighting has no place in hockey just don't get the game at all. Then they remembered Wade was dead after committing suicide after (confirmed during autopsy) years of being a hockey pugilist turned his brain into pudding because of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (aka CTE), after taking all the fights the team asked him to, all the concussions he lied about to play the game he loved, and all the heavy hits taken because that was his role on the team. Then they all hugged and cried, because a good father and husband by the name of Wade Belak is gone from their lives.

As for your misogynistic take that hockey without fighting equals ladies ringette? Now, I'll admit, I don't follow women's hockey at the lower levels much, but then again, I don't always have time to watch all the men's hockey, either. Now, the level of skill the ladies show at the National level, and the OLYMPIC level, with minimal hitting, with no fighting? It's FAST, EXCITING, and would no doubt wipe the floor against an entire team of "Good ol' tough guys" from the NHL, because they'd have no idea what to do.

Ordinary male U-15 hockey teams routinely beat top female Olympic teams with no hitting rules. "Tough guys" from the NHL would humiliate any female team in the world and the fact you don't know that is astounding. If hitting were allowed with NHL "tough guys," female Olympians would die on the ice from the brain and spinal cord trauma.

I like seeing women take a shot from the blueline. The puck flutters like a wounded duck and usually just dribbles into the goalie. Most of the goals they score are in tight where they can actually raise the puck. A team of 4th line journeyman would beat them 25-0.

Also, what is the headline of this article about: How the end...

Was there something to add? Makes no sense.

EVK hatty. McDavid #58. The West is looking ripe for the Oil to pick this year. Hopefully the Bruins will be battered by the SCF.

Pens may still force OT vs Rags! 😁 But 104 points doesn't even Pierre McGuire believe in.

Big win for the cats tonight, eh?

10-3 Saturday night. Buzztron on fire.

No. You went 9-4 last night. Anyone can look that up.

Also, you do realize that if someone bet $100 on those 13 games and went 9-4 they still lost money. Picking Colorado to beat Detroit is easy and doesn't make much money. Tampa over Montreal. Toronto over Ottawa. Carolina over Philly. As stated from the beginning...if you simply pick the favourite each game you typically end up correct 70%+, but don't make any money doing that.

And the pens are going to win their last 13 for it to be correct
