At least one referee on the ice called it charging (probably the other as well). The NHL called it charging. It was charging.

This approach of blaming a player for scoring a goal... I have to say, it's unique.

I thought the intent was to stop the game-sealing goal. I don't know anything about Scheifele - does he have a rep as a dirty player?
The intent is going to matter all that much. When you trip or hook a guy on a breakaway, your intent is to prevent a goal, but it's still a penalty. This one is going to draw a suspension. Every video they release about a suspension always starts out with exactly what rule was broken and how it was broken, then followed up with the so called damage report. This one checks every box on that list.

I'm torn here. I can't get behind anyone named Brooks or Bryson.

The return has indeed been messed with in part because Eichel chose to do that on full display at his presser. Regardless, the Sabres should hold firm and seek to get the best return no matter what team in what conference it is with, including Boston. Not that they have an adequate return, anyway. As long as the deal is done before his NMC kicks in next year, we can be patient. Which everyone has to be anyway, given the timeframe for his recovery.
Has there been any comment on that timeframe of recovery?

I had a duck nest hidden in the front of my house last year. They're flying all over the neighborhood recently, so we'll find out soon if they stop here again.

Add in taking left turns from the far right lane and you've got the Webster's definition of a Masshole.
They gun it and take that left the second the light turns green, right?
1 hour ago, K-9 said:You’re probably right, him being a masshole isn’t a reason. After all, Buffalo teams have had them over the years, some of them very good players (I’m looking at you, Fred Smerlas).
How about has to go because he’s dishonest, lacks character, doesn’t want to be here, and is willing to act in a completely unprofessional manner in order to achieve that? Pretty sure that’s not my bias, but what we all witnessed during his presser on Monday.
Unfortunately I missed that press conference, had to leave a couple minutes before it started. I believe the reaction though since it's been pretty much universal everywhere I've looked. I just hope it doesn't mess with the return in anyway. One things certain though, it won't be Boston.

No one should have been worried about anything as it was.
The worrying and panic is contributing more to the shortage than the cyber-attack.
And these dummies are going to be sitting on 100 gallons of varnish and sludge in about 4 months.
The local news spends 99% of their broadcast time showing us lines as different gas stations all over their viewing area. The remaining 1% is used to quickly say that that the panic is the sole reason for why stations are empty. They have way too much power and they choose to only use it to get higher ratings.

Eichel has said the Bruins were his favorite team growing up; how much of a bond he and his father shared over watching and attending their games. He loves the Patriots, too. And the Red Sox. Makes sense seeing as how he grew up there. Not sure what his favorite college team and local rivalry with another school has to do with that.
There are right and wrong ways to go about asking your team for a trade. Deliberately misrepresenting the facts about the agreed upon treatment for his injury is not professional in the least. All he had to do was say that the 12 week rehab timeframe hasn’t expired yet and that a determination on surgery, etc., would be made at that time. But his arrogant, smug masshole self just couldn’t resist taking a shot at the team.
And yeah, I’m sure his agent is part and parcel to the strategy. But again, misrepresenting facts in an attempt to make the team look bad is a bullcrap move. And I suspect other teams will take notice given what we now know about the experimental nature of the surgery he wants.
The college game is huge up there, particularly with anyone growing up in the hockey world like he would have. In that world, BU-BC would be the equivalent of Duke-UNC in bouncyball. So there's one case where he completely by his own choice passed over "his" team for what he thought was a better situation. But anyway, the vast majority of pro athletes wind up on a team that isn't who they grew up liking. The only reason we're mentioning it here is more than likely because we all hate Boston so much.
It's probably time to go, but "entitled masshole" isn't even #75 on the list of reasons why. That's our own biases showing.

I couldn't help but laugh as I drove past a couple gas stations here in NC today. These people have probably burned off more gas than they even needed in the first place just idling in those lines forever.

As I suspected, Eichel was full of crap regarding his side of the injury “disconnect” on Monday. Everyone, INCLUDING Eichel’s own second opinion doctors, agreed on a 12 week conservative rehab timeline, taking new images after that time, and then proceeding on alternatives if required.
What a shocker that all the medical experts agreed to follow well established medical best practice protocols.
F Jack Eichel. I’ve long had the impression that he’s a born and raised Bruin fan that never embraced the idea of playing in Buffalo in the first place. He and his pouty ass can’t leave soon enough. Let him take his entitled masshole attitude elsewhere. I mean, what; are we gonna finish worse than last if he leaves? Do whatever we can to accommodate his desire not to be here.
I don’t care how good he is, he’s useless if he doesn’t want to play here.
I doubt there's much of anything to that Bruin fan thought. Jack grew up a BC fan but then went to BU after being recruited by both. I don't know how familiar you are with that rivalry, but it's not exactly cordial. He went with the situation that better set himself up moving forward and at this stage, I can't fault any player who thinks they're better moving forward if they're not on this team.
The rest of this situation, the way they're playing it out is downright strange. I'm one to point my finger towards the agent when a game like this is being played.

That one was creepy from start to finish. They did a nice job of establishing the cult feel very early.

Not a single "how the hell did you get out of there, Daniel" at the end when he was leaving?

So what exactly was Virginia building the army for anyway? She seemed genuinely surprised that certain people were still alive (more than just Dwight and company), so it had to be more than just her castaways returning for blood. I guess we have 5 more episodes to find out.

I think the guy sat down and ordered a burger.
Seriously though, I really hate endings like that, if for no reason other than my wife continuously asks me "do you think Tony Soprano died". Hell, she does it with Breaking Bad too, even though that one couldn't have been any more obvious. They even mention the outcome in the El Camino movie but she still asks the damn question.

I like the rabbi.
Yeah, he's fine. I just completely forgot about him. It's kind of like last season with the episode where John was looking for who killed the one ranger (the one we just found out that Virginia's sister killed). The woman they ultimately framed, I had completely forgotten who she was and had to look it up. They need to at least develop the character a bit if they want to use her for meaningful death. So far this half season, they definitely understand that.
Also, in talking about the rabbi, I recognize the actor from other roles (House), so I won't forget who he is.

He was such a good character and the actor did a great job. Not my favorite death at all but I guess I see why they did it.
Last night was another great Lennie James performance. Morgan is my favorite character on either/both of the shows. That said, I think Fear has more interesting characters as of now than the main show. Strand, June, Morgan, Dwight, Al, Sherry, and others all have interesting stories going and something is bound to happen with Daniel because Ruben Blades is really good.
The cast has gotten way too big so they definitely need to thin the herd a bit. Unfortunately they chose the best character on the show as their first kill. That said, it has way more meaning than if they had decided to kill someone completely pointless like Nick's old girlfriend or either of the trucker twins. Hell, I never much cared about June up until the last couple minutes last night.
They're definitely bringing it so far this half season with the big time deaths. Hopefully we can get a few more, which bring extra screen time to the better characters and allow them to shine.
I can't be the only one who had an "oh yeah, there's a rabbi on this show" moment.

First two episodes of 2nd half have been good too. This season is better than the last season of the main show. The death last week was a tough one though.
A side note from last week's episode: The Walking Dead may just be the worst possible TV show for a suicide prevention PSA.

Pha and Pgh? I can't say I've ever seen those abbreviations before. Come on Pierre, the common abbreviation for Pittsburgh could not be any more obvious.

And how do the games played work out for the canadian division since it will have one less team? If they play everyone 9 times instead, that would be 54 games. Since everything is played within the division, that doesn't impact the playoffs at all. But are they ok with having less games on tv like that? I'd prefer to leave the schedule balanced within the division, but I'm sure $$$$ will have them adding in the extra 2 games.

They said they played around with CGI for her "montrals" but I guess it wasn't working.
I thought her lightsabers looked like fluorescent light bulb tubes.

Directv sent me an email yesterday to let me know that center ice package was about to renew on my account. It's priced at the same number as last year. What a slap in the face. I thought maybe it was just an automated process, but no. If it was, that would have kicked in over a month ago. So I'd love to know who flipped the attempted robbery switch within that company.
Anyone see the Scheifele on Evans hit in the Jets - Canadiens game. Brutal hit.

You just described the consistency. If you injure someone with an illegal hit, you will get suspended. I wish their standard was different, but they've been fairly consistent. The only place they break from that standard is when it's a fight, two willing participants.
