NHL 2013 off season thread

[MJ5150]

I didn't feel like the rule changes made by the NHL in 2011 to help prevent concussions went far enough. The study talked about in this story would confirm my feelings: Invalid Link Removed.

One of the doctors who did the research has the same opinion I have. The person who caused the concussion should be out of his teams lineup as long as the person he hit is out. Even take it a step further, as warwick.hoy once suggested, and not allow the team to fill the roster spot while the suspended player is out.

Crosby won the ESPY for best NHL athlete, no surprise there. Was bummed to see the Hawks didn't win best team in all of sports. I thought they deserved it.

Then again it IS ESPN. Not like they care about hockey or anything.

I have always maintained it should be that way for any play causing an injury (within reason, hit by a shot ect), plus five games.

Fleury snubbed by the Canadian Olympic hockey team. No surprise there. Some other interesting snubs from the Canadian team.

Such as?

Rob Blake is Kings assistant gm. Nice.

I wish we didn't let Dustin Penner go to the Ducks. Bad decision.

He's still a talented goalie, but only has himself to blame for not being invited. Choking on every major stage he's been on in the past few years doesn't help his chances.

It was nice to see Lucic and Marchand asked to come to camp; I'd like to see them make the team just to see how the Euros handle the size of Lucic bearing down on them or the irritation of Marchand.

I agree. I don't have much of a problem with the goalies chosen ahead of him, except maybe Holtby and Smith.

I will definitely enjoy watching that.

Bryzgalov wasn't invited to Russia's Olympic camp. Hey, he hasn't sniffed an invite to the NHL, or KHL for that matter either. Guess he'll have to burn some of that cash Homer's paying him to keep warm these next few winters.

(how soon until Hextall takes over?)

I wonder what he did to Ference for posting that?

Maybe he can start his own reality show where he hunts tiger poachers in China

Well, with all the rearranging of the conferences, here's the travel for each team now:

Detroit is now the 7th least travelled team and Winnepeg gets SCREWED!

Or star on a show with Bear Gryllis where he escapes from bears in the woods in Russia!
