An ex-Oilers prospect, no less. 4th round pick.kenneycb said:I have no idea how but the Oilers gave up two SH goals on the same PP to the same player.
Lou Lamiorello apparently has Alzheimer's and thinks it's 1998. He's regressed from being one of the best GMs in the league to being one of the very worst. This old, slow and lackluster team is all on him. He's become totally divorced from reality.mikeford said:The Devils resigned Scott Gomez
I have lost the will to live.
what the hell happened him? He fell off the cliff so quickly. I feel like not more than 5-7 yeas ago he was a top 5-10 player maybe in the league. He's 34 now, but I feel like he was already declining at 30, which is really early for a player to start his decline.cshea said:The Flyers are apparently putting Vinny Lecavalier in the press box for their game in San Jose tonight. Yeesh. 3 more years @ $4.5 AAV left on that deal. Good luck with that, Hextall.
Yeah, that was a head shot with an intent to injure. If the NHL doesn't suspend Bertuzzo then Crosby and Malkin had better have their heads on a swivel the next time these two teams meet. If the league won't do anything about it, then the players will have to.mikeford said:Bortuzzo elbows Jagr in the head, then wont man up and fight JORDIN TOOTOO
What an absolute disgrace this guy is.
Nine years removed from a Richard trophy. Of course Cheechoo is ten years removed, and he's in the KHL now.BoSoxFink said:what the hell happened him? He fell off the cliff so quickly.

So which part of that hit was clean?Greg29fan said:This place is worse than HF.
In-person or phone?Monbo Jumbo said:Seen on Twitter. Bortuzzo will have a hearing with the league.
Of course they didn't, he plays for PittsburghLogansDad said:Did they not call a penalty on that? WTF refs?

When you take a deliberate and predatory run at someone's head, you should stand up for your action. Ducking a fight THREE times is just cowardice. You can spin the situation however you want, it's weak ass shit.Greg29fan said:It's a 0-0 game in the second period, why should Bortuzzo (or anybody) fight at that point? So the Pens can play with 5 d-men for five minutes (or more depending on what the always consistent officials decide to do) and NJ gets to trade their worst player to do so? That's stupid.
Oh, I think there will definitely be a Janssen call up, maybe sooner rather than later.mikeford said:Disgraceful to go at a legends head and then not man up against a BUM like Tootoo.
I hope they call up Janssen for the next Penguins game. I want blood.
Greg29fan said:the Penguins are the most penalized team in the league (again), NJ got 4 power plays to their 2, and Malkin got kicked out of the game with five minutes left for something but yeah it's all the vast NHL/refs/Bettman-are-pro-Penguins conspiracy rearing its ugly head again.
and yes Mo, there are mongoloids who cheered Jagr getting injured just like they do in Philadelphia and every other NHL city.
Plus, the system in place when he signed is not the system he's in now. Doesn't suit him. But ultimately, Homer had some change burning a hole in his pocket at the time (relatively speaking, which means he had $100K of cap space; I think he promised a dying friend that he'd never let free cap space stand idle, but I digress), and Vinny was a shiny set of keys jingling in the periphery. Of course you sign a declining center when you have a boat load of centers, little cap room, and a screaming need on defense. Who doesn't?MoGator71 said:I can't figure it out. I know last year he was dealing with some stuff, a bad back in particular, but it's been really ugly. Either he's still hurt or he's just showing up and collecting a paycheck...or he's got a Dominican birth certificate and he's actually 44.
Greg29fan said:The easiest way to tell who has been a Pens fan longer than 10 years is if they boo Jagr or not. He's the 2nd or 3rd greatest player in the history of the franchise (probably 2nd), and I don't blame him at all for wanting to get off the ship when ownership was letting it sink.
