Honestly there's no bigger scum than Dustin brown. That hit is later and more directed to the head than the raffi Torres hit. Straight up head butt. What a disgrace. Just so ****ing absurd.

3-on-3 is ossum

You need to be careful which seats you get in Winnipeg.

Lol.

Still not as bad as the SRO seats I once had in Chicago, from which it was impossible to see the ice at all without standing on my tiptoes on a railing. (I'm 5'10'.) I had the impression that didn't bother a lot of Blackhawks "fans", though.

Looking to hit up MTS some time this year, likely this month or in November. Unreal atmosphere there.

Amazingly neither of them are facing suspension. I'd give Lucic a game just because throwing him out with no time remaining is inconsequential, and DB should get 5 games for that. Just dirty.

I agree that Brown's play was worse. Kinda surprised to see no suspension with what happened with Torres.

It's only game 1 of 82 but beating the Avalanche the way the Wild did last night felt so good. Roy's face bright red, Landeskog being an idiot taking two late penalties, and Everybody's all American Zach Parise posting a hatty felt so good. Yeo switched up the D pairs a little going with:

Suter-Spurgeon
Brodin-Dumba
Scandella-Folin

I'm really comfortable with D corps, one of the best in the league, although I've always felt that Suter is a little overrated around here but still obviously very good. Dubnyk was shaky though. I'm excited, just have to beat the Blackhawks.

That Dustin Brown hit is atrocious, but no one is surprised.

Wild a good team but I think Colorado is pretty bad so to go down 4-1 like they did doesn't seem like the greatest game in the world.

Is it time yet?!?

I think DBrown should be sent to the KHL.
(and his contract terminated)

i heard he jaywalked once

Lombardi should try to void his contract

Just checking in for a little #LGRW

Apparently Kangz and MRichards have settled the grievance. Payments until 2031!

Cap recapture of 1.5M for 5 years, then whatever the payment amount is until 2031.
Hopefully it's all over with.

Artemi Panarin was asked what his favorite english phrase is.

Answer......."what the ****."

I like him already. And he scored a goal the other night.

DBag is one of my least favorite hockey players of all time. The silver lining is suspending him might have made the Kings better.

Yay typical CBJ 5 minute meltdown is back again this year!

Checking in and let us gogogoggogo Wild!

Had it on at work, was pumped when Saad scored. Looked away for two seconds and then got super confused when the score read 3-2 NYR...

Promising signs up until that last few mins - I thought jackets looked goooooood

Well, looks like the MRichards thing was a long term, on going, problem. DLombardi doesn't come right out and say it, but it's pretty easy to infer. Heroin is a hell of a drug.

Lombardi seems kinda scummy tbh

So, Edmonton almost won a Stanley Cup, then what happened?

They were bad enough to win the lottery over and over. They talked about Hall pretty highly.

What stops Buffalo from being the same?

Ok, so everybody jumped ship after the run, then Lowe took over and made insane moves for a decade.

Buffalo isn't starting from a hole with a shovel.

Yeah, I thought the exact same thing when he came out last year saying how much he regretted giving Richards a second chance. He let his emotions compromise his ability to make a smart business decision and he should assume 100% of the blame. Trashing Richards in order to deflect criticism was gross and uncharacteristic of a guy who's been in the game as long as Lombardi has.

Some competency at the GM and head coaching positions. Also, Buffalo has some legitimate NHL players on the backend already in Jorges, Bogosian, and Franson along with a talented young guy in Ristolainen. Tim Murray also knows a thing or two about drafting so they'll likely end up hitting on at least a few 4th or 5th rounders to give them some cheap depth, something Edmonton was never able to do under Lowe/Tambellini/MacT.
