This reminds me of Martin Havlat.

The guy kicked Eric Cairns in 2004 and received a 2 game suspension.

Then he kicked Hal Gill in 2005 and received a 5 game suspension.

Mr Slice And Dice, I used to call him. :drink:

Is he available though?

He's signed for another year on a very team-friendly contract.

The hockey media have put him on their available list with Subban and Simmonds

Sharks Erik Karlsson injured thumb, out for the season, they sit at 26th overall and the Sens get their unprotected 1st rounder this year. :shock:

SJS got him for another 7 years at an $11.5M cap hit with a fully locked NMC.

Except as a fighter. Once again, Petey will not survive the playoffs without a minder, and just because his stats are down does not mean he cannot pot the odd goal when out there.

Do we have anyone on the farm who can fill his skates?

Oilers and Sharks, like the Canucks, are in an Eastern conference portion of their schedules. Unfortunate, would be nice to have some head to heads during the next few games. Canucks are done with Edmonton and only have remaining, late March, date with the Sharks.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Kane gets three games
Kassian gets 7
Chara gets 0

You can’t even make this shut up. George Parros is a fucking idiot.

Kane and Kass agree with you, going by their responses on social media. :drink:

Devils acquire David Quenneville and a 2021 2nd rounder from the NYI for their 37yr old captain Andy Greene as a rental, $5M cap hit.........yes Tanev is then worth a 1st.

They aren’t trading Tanev while they are knee deep in a playoff race. Best RH D man in the team. What kind of message does that send trading him for a late 1st?

Gotta be ruthless in this game, St. Louis Blues style moving Stastny for a 1st+ while they were in the playoff race.

And what if Tanev bolts via UFA?
