Interesting drama in Ottawa.
Erik Karlsson's wife has filed a restraining order against Mike Hoffman's girlfriend, claiming that she has been harassing them online for quite some time, including some psychotic trolling through a twitter troll account after their son was stillborn.
Hoffman and his fiancee deny everything.
So option A is that Hoffman's fiancee is a psycho with crossed wires in her brain, option B is that Karlsson's wife is a nutcase harassing herself, and I suppose option C is that it's a case of mistaken identity and someone completely unknown so far is the real perp.
Seems the twitter mob is going with option A, but I have a feeling it may end up being option B when all the facts come out.

Crawford probably didn't win due to the other Final goalie, Tukka Rask out-playing him over the whole Playoffs.
But I agree, he deserved it over Kane 100%.

You mean none are supporting her?
This doesn't surprise me either. These are just puck bunnies that jumped on the right dicks. The only value they have is their looks and whatever their husbands accomplish.
Most likely never progressed from being the popular girl in high school.
I like Karlsson the player, but he's already on marriage #2. He obviously doesn't learn or have real good judgement when it comes to women. For example, I believe his first wife was older than him, and took him to the cleaners at divorce time. The current wife is from a family that has even more money than he does, which means she's most likely never had to work a day in her life or deal with anything more difficult than not winning a horse jumping competition.
Hoffman was a guy that paid his dues to make the NHL, he made it relatively late, and his fiancee has been with him for 10 years. He's finally on his first "real money" contract. She doesn't really fit the profile of a gold digging dick rider.
These guys make barely more than average world salaries while playing in the minor leagues.
So I don't put much stock in the fact that "in crowd" of wives are clicking up and ostracizing her. It's their natural behavior.
Of course if she did it, then she's a psycho and Hoffman should get as far away from her as he can, and definitely before marrying her. For the record they've both denied it and have lawyered up.
It just seems too bizarre to me. Like Munchhausen level bizarre.

Well I was talking about what Marchand was up to last season, dude needed to be taught a lesson when he was spreading his saliva around or when he skated up to Johansson from behind and elbowed him in the head. By suspension or someone caving his head in, whatever, but he was totally out of line last year.
Eller needs to hit the gym or something, incredibly embarrassing to be owned by that ratboy manchild like that. And you're right about the injury thing, that's a huge part of it and I don't know why. Just cause Wilson is big and hits hard doesn't make him dirty. But now Connolly is possibly going to be on 1st line for 20 fucking games. I like the dude cause he's resilient and really finds ways to score goals, but he's third line at best.

Eller has like 25lbs on him and like 4", he shouldn't have been manhandled that bad.

I can't name many players born outside of NA that fight or are good at fighting.

The Sharks on opening day were absolutely horrible. Just throwing the puck around while the Ducks were able to shut them down. SJ's goalie, Jones, didn't help letting in 4 goals in 14 shots. Symptom of a bigger problem or just not coming into the season prepared? Everyone had the Sharks being 1st in the Pacific but after last night I don't think it is a guarantee unless they fix their shit.

As good as Karlsson is, he's going to want a 7-8 year deal north of 10 million a year. You can't hand out these huge contracts to players his age, he will be 29 when he re-signs or signs with another team.
Winnipeg is going to regret the Wheeler contract in a few years but they didn't have much choice.

1998 was bogus. The inquest was a joke.
They lost a shootout. National crisis!
Only in Canada.

No idea. Never even crossed my mind, dude looks 100% white to me anyway.
Sounds like we need to build a wall on the northern border to keep him in Toronto.

Nylander needs to be traded for a young D, I don't know how they can expect to have 4 forwards making an average of around 10 million next year.
Matthews is going to want 12+, I don't see him taking a discount like Tavares because he didn't grow up dreaming of playing hockey in Toronto. Tavares was offered 13 from San Jose and lower taxes.

Me: "Why do we need female refs?"
NPCs: *switches face to angry* "BECAUSE WE HAVE NONE BIGOT"
Can't wait till a female ref hands out a game misconduct to Tom Wilson because he wouldn't give her his number. And then he gets suspended 40 games for not respecting wahmen.
