Well... I TRIED to drop the couple YT videos comparing the hockey coaches that got pucks off the face vs the soccer coach that dropped like he'd been shot after a paper airplane clipped the side of his head, but apparently the soccer league blocks it from being embedded.
If they are suspended by the NHL, they don't get paid. If the players are put on "leave" ( Carter Hart, Patrick Laine for example), they get paid while on leave.
Non-repeat offenders lose salary based on the number of days in the season. For example, if there are 190 days in a season, a three game suspension would cost a non-repeat offender 3/190ths of his average salary.
Repeat offenders lose salary based on the number of games in a season (82). For example, a three game suspension would cost a repeat offender 3/82nds of his average salary.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
The 2025 Stadium Series… Detroit @ Columbus, March 1, 2025. Ohio State or the BIG have no plans on someone playing Ohio State in an outdoor game.
I thought I read somewhere that it would be the 1st weekend of the B1G playoffs.
It borders that last weekend of the regular season or the 1st weekend of the BIG playoffs. So I’m sure that’s why the BIG and Ohio State isn’t flirting with the idea. If the Stadium Series game was in Jan. or early Feb, I’m sure it could be a different story.
The Islanders had that game in hand till the last 4 minutes of the 3rd. OT was no question a goal. Though if that was a BIG game, it would have been reviewed for 25 minutes and depending on what crew was officiating, who knows what they would’ve called.
Rangers Flyers coming in hot. Big fight 3 minutes in.
who would you put your money on in a Lindgren - Seeler matchup? 😬
I think Lindgren is out of the cage today too.
In a fight, I would take Seeler. If it were a tough man contest with chopping wood, pulling an airplane and wrestling a bear, Lindgren wins easily. 🤣
Haha for some reason I think I’ve seen that video. Seeler’s a little bit bigger but I don’t know… lotta game left maybe we’ll find out….but I can’t imagine Lindgren’s face is in fighting shape yet. 🤕
I don't want to mention names but someone did have a "Pittsburgh connection".

Former NHL tough guy and short time Mn Wild player Chris Simon has died. Too many of the players who took too many punches to the head are dying too soon.

And yet, there seems to be no real desire to reduce the violence in the game. :/

It doesn't have to be punches to the head. That is the biggest misconception out there. It just takes a hit to the body in general to rattle the brain. As long as the brain shakes around in the skull, due to WHATEVER reason, that's trouble.

You have to wonder if Konstantin Koltsov's suicide recently also may have had to do with CTE.

If I were king and made the rules... 5 minutes + DQ, and automatic suspension until reviewed for additional games (during business hours Mon-Fri, starting 24 hours after the game in question)
And, of course, I'd have hired Shanahan and given him free reign to impose proper discipline rather than the owners chasing him out because he was laying down real penalties.
