Equally funny reading what Canadiens fans are saying, to be totally honest.

I agree on one thing...the still frame is stupid. Really shows nothing. You have to watch the full video to get the entire picture. Only because of the "history" between these two, and because the NHL will want to stay consistent with other similar plays in the past, I will predict a 2 game suspension, but in actuality, it could be less (this coming from somebody who likes the Bruins and Canadiens equally). Other predictions?

FYI, severe concussion and broken vertebrae for Pacioretty.

Actually nevermind, you are right. Well, it's a much different setup, but there is plexiglass in there separating the benches. Honestly have never noticed it before. Probably because Bell Centre also has glass facing the ice making it more noticeable there.

I don't see how it's funny. That design is incredibly dangerous, and to my knowledge Montreal is the only rink in the NHL built like that.. Sad that we need to see somebody get hurt like this for everyone to notice.

After thinking about this, I tend to agree with the people who say it was reckless but without intent to injure. So, I could see a 1 game suspension, maybe. But yes, at the end of the day Chara should not be held responsible for the idiot who designed that rink. Surprised that doesn't happen more often, and you have to think they will re-do that in the offseason. If this hit is anywhere else on the ice, Pacioretty gets right up and the game goes on and there probably isn't even a penalty called.

Universe, ECN....take your corners. Make it a clean fight. And.....go.

Zack Greinke broke his rib playing basketball. Oof.

Oh, awesome to see Evan Turner show flashes of what he's capable of. Hopefully the patience pays off with him.

Sports weekend = salvaged Thank you Sixers. Also, nice triple-double Andre. Still pissed he didn't pass the ball at the end of regulation. Jodie was WIDE open.

Well, I guess this is rock bottom. Can't go anywhere but up from here......right?

Today's game is case in point. Maybe since it's on national TV, folks will actually notice. Horrendous turnovers, old defense playing old, losing puck battles, just not giving a shit in general. Not the goalies at all.

I saw The Adjustment Bureau last night. I am going to give it a 5/10, and that may be generous (keep in mind I am a very tough grader). I had high hopes and thought it had a fantastic premise, but they did not push the envelope far enough IMO. It was very bland and predictable. My friends that saw it with me thought it was awful (one friend, a movie guru, said it is the worst movie he has ever seen in theaters), and while I won't go that far, it definitely was a major disappointment.

I am sick of the national media clowns like Mike Milbury saying "the Flyers need to solidify their goaltending blah blah blah". Such a cheap way to get an article written or a piece for TV done. "Well it's the Flyers and they are struggling, must be the goaltending!". Anybody who has watched this team since the all star break knows that goaltending is about as far down the list of problems as anything. This defense would make Dominik Hasek look bad right now.

Dom Brown has a broken hand. First the Flyers, now this. How the hell can today get any worse?

Yesssss, FINALLY, the 12 forwards I want active are active. AKA Zherdev is playing on the 3rd line, Nodl on the 4th line, and no Carcillo/Shelley.

Good.

Also, Taylor Hall done for the year.

Thanks. I am pretty excited about Akeson. If either of these guys turn out anything like our big rookie FA signing last year (Bobs), I will be quite thrilled. Of course, signing kids from Russia is a bit different than Canada, but yeah.

Well, technically the Westboro Baptist Church also "has the right" to protest the funerals of soldiers, protest the funerals of other good, innocent people, stand school parking lots and call innocent kids Satan-loving [expletive]gots, etc. Doesn't make it right or acceptable.

Well, baseball/the Phillies are my biggest passion, so I'd love it.

Probably not, but I'd go to all that I could.

At some point I plan on upgrading to a full season plan. Just can't afford it right now.
