  1. Less moving guys around, you think?
  2. Guddy + Nilsen/Marky + ? For Barkov?
  3. Potential trade in the works up here?
  4. Yup, I’m crying. And it’s a good cry.
  5. Guy is looking more and more like a steal.
  6. What’s that old proverbial saying? “Those who can’t...teach, and those who can’t teach...do gym”. It’s something like that?
  7. Doesn’t Tryamkin play his offside, the right?
  8. If Tryamkin comes back next season, does he get a new deal? How much would he get, and for how long?
  9. Actually, we were discussing the viability of the KHL, specifically Tryamkin’s team, based on the agent’s comments. There was suggestion Try could come back even next season, if his team can’t afford him. Then there was a post about how expensive the tickets are compared to people’s monthly earnings. It’s kind of all about Tryamkin (maybe?) coming back I thought.
  10. So the price of a ticket is two week's pay? That's insane! No way can that league survive.
  11. I wonder what their ticket prices are too. I don't think they could nearly be enough to offset costs. Plus, there aren't a lot of wealthy enough people to afford tickets that are too expensive over there, are there?
  12. That’s during the play, and the QB is not lying defenceless on the ground out of bounds with the play over. Again, not a comparable. You’re not going to find a comparable.
  13. How are those two plays even remotely similar? We all love Gronk. He’s a great player, and (seemingly) a nice person. What he did was really bad.
  14. That hit was during the play, and in the field of play. It’s a football play. There is no comparison. Gronk attacked, blindsided, a guy after the play, and out of bounds.
  15. What if it’s Tom Brady taking that hit? What’s the consequence to the attacking player?
  16. Even if what you say about no head contact is correct (with which I strongly disagree) how is what Gronk did a football play? The play was clearly over. The other guy was on the ground, and out of bounds, completely vulnerable. Gronk clearly attacks the guy. If that’s Brady on the ground, and a lineman does that to him, what’s the consequence?
  17. If that was Tom Brady taking that shot, I bet the guilty player gets 5 plus games. Heck not only was the play over, but the poor guy was lying there, completely defenceless and out of bounds. Gronk targeted the guy. It wasn’t even, or could even, be called a football play. It was one guy, fully (and visciously) trying to injure another player. At least that’s what I saw.
  18. What’s the chatter in Buffalo about the length of suspension Gronk should get? And is #27 okay? He looked concussed on TV.
  19. It’s pretty obvious the Canucks (coaches and management) screwed up handling Tryamkin. How was his wife getting along here? Was she included in things with the other wives? There’s a lot the Canucks could have done better.
  20. Just saw Gronk’s post game apology.
  21. Watch it again. Gronk (I’m sure not on purpose) slid up the guy’s back, and hit the back of the helmet, driving the head into the turf. Like I said before, we all love Gronk, but this was a very dangerous play.
  22. Oh yes. Definitely that was holding and PI, but that doesn’t excuse Gronk’s retaliation. Hitting a defenceless player, out of bounds, after the play, who is on the turf, in the back of the head was totally dirty. Gronk is a stand up guy, so I hope he comes right out and says he did something stupid.
