I for one am happy for Marner, I don't understand anyone who is not.

Did he have a bad attitude here and there yes but I see why.

We 100 percent know the problem in Toronto, cough Matthews cough media.

I think this is more relevant to the Knoblauch situation. Did he let Broberg and Hollaway or Mcleod go? Did he bring in Jarry or sign those bad contracts?

Knoblauch might have had some improvement to do as a coach, but you're 100% right - Stan Bowman was a ridiculous hire who has managed to live down to the low expectations most people had for him.

Watching the IIHF Worlds opener and Canada already looks like they'll comfortably have the best team there except for goaltending which ruins everything

marner was someone i was incredibly wrong about, remember laughing my ass off when he signed that huge contract extension after a very limited sample of pretty average production - they are paying that guy superstar money? is toronto crazy? and he then performed, was one the more confidently wrong moments i had in hockey - and i've had plenty

NHL:

Cross-check someone in the back of the head and drive his face into the ice? $2,600 fine.

Don't talk to the media and don't let them in the locker room? $100k fine and lose a second round pick.

Clown show.

To lose a second round pick for not talking to the media after a game where you convincingly slammed the door on a team to advance is absolute idiocy

A ridiculous decision. Maybe if it was a chronic issue, but otherwise a fine is exactly what it should be.

They can appeal. They will. It will be reduced to a 5th is my guess.

yeah, read more about it and apparently they've done this at least 3 times this season, including at least 1 other playoff game. they kept getting warned not to. this latest one was because they were crying about the mcnabb suspension, which was 100000000% justified, and probably should have been more actually. so **** them. they actually should increase the penalty when vegas appeals. what a bunch of ****ing losers, hope they get swept by the avs.

They could never talk to the media, and I don't see how anything other than a fine would be appropriate.

Start fining the owner, and you won't have to take any other action.

TB was top 5 though, barely lost, and would've crushed BUF so you nearly had the final 4 all being top 5 in xG.
