Top four:

Nucks
Nyets
Habnots
Leaves

Canucks take out Leaves in round one. Coincidentally Big Tuna will Leaves the forums for the following six months.
Habnots hab it going over Nyets.
Toss up between Nucks and the Habnots, but the good thing is the winner will return the cup to Canada.

That hit was fine. Raymond was as weak as a 12 year old. No intent at all on that. That should save the Islanders some serious bucks. Lou banishes another guy to Robidas Island.

Loui Eriksson take notice in case you retire as well.
capfriendly:
If Johnny Boychuk files for retirement from the NHL, his $6M cap hit in 2020-21 & 2021-22 will come off the #Islanders salary cap and free up that space for the club to use.

Whether or not Boychuk needs to pay back his $2.75M SB depends on his contract and any claw back clauses.
But then
If Johnny Boychuk does not file for retirement, the league would then not terminate his contract and he'd be placed on IR.

His cap hit would continue to count against the #Islanders salary cap, however the club could place him on LTIR allowing them to exceed their ACSL by $6M.

If the contract was insured by the club and they kept the policy going up until now (club can cancel polices on the contract at any time), they could claim up to 80% of his salary back after he's missed 30 games.

Clubs are responsible to pay the player for the first 30 games.

The hit looked you backdooring your gebil. Shove his head down to bend her over then ram away. Broke back mounted him.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

Lol at Huck Finn. Do you still take your musket out into the bushes trying to hunt squirrels and gophers? Wash with a rag on a stick and pack venison and grits for supper? I’m all for getting off the beaten path and out of the city but living in Rock Creek or Greenweird has made you a bit kooky over the years.

He doesn't live in Rock Creek or Greenwood, so just be careful you don't land in his neck of the woods

That was like an inverted vertebreaker, sort of a hybrid spinelock/pile driver, it blew my mind when I saw it. Intelligent adaptation to the hockey arena by Boychuck there, with the boards serving as contact point. Raymond was locked in with no place to go with his neck held securely in a disastrous position. Amazing Raymond was able to escape paralysis from such a ruthless and dangerous move especially considering the clown show that ensued from the Canucks crack medical team in the aftermath there.
