best part:
"jersey branding by manufacturers is already a form of jersey sponsorship."

Its not wrong, per se, but thats like LG not putting "LG" on their TV's, Easton not putting "Easton" on their hockey sticks, etc etc. Marking your brand isnt exactly sponsorship. Reebok didnt pay to be able to advertise Reebok on NHL jerseys, they paid the NHL to have rights to be the official jersey.


Btw, for people who think Therrien isnt a problem, and "the habs are 9-4-1, so he's fine", might want to read this:

I'm pretty sure Brill and Sep will have nam flashbacks reading that.

holy fuck the panthers have only given up 24 goals.

Theyve also only scored 16.

In 11 games.

Poor bobby lu

[bluefan]

DID IT MAKE IT IN TIME?!!?!

[Obsidian]

Defense wins championships.

[bluefan]

NO IT DID NOT!

Boo, I wanted another OT.

0.2 seconds too slow Joe.

[Thoronas]

Crazy ending to that game. San Jose was the better team for most of the game but we got timely goal scoring and goaltending

[bluefan]

Looking at the current standings, I almost feel as bad for Edmonton as I do the Sabres.

Almost.

Downie is very, very lucky he did not get hurt by this. Buff is lucky he wasn't hurt either but Darren Dregger tweeted Department of Player Safety going to take a look at it anyways.

Should get a game for that imo. It was well after the goal and it was dangerous.

[Aksannyi]

Downie got in an argument with Big Buff when Buff went for a line change. Buff didn't change cause he was yapping and he cost his team a too many men penalty so he got pissed and tried taking runs at people and killing everyone. Downie got a 2 minute minor and when he came out of the box he got a whiffed home run pass behind Buff for an embarassing peewee style goal (the home run pass initially missed but Downie skated down and got it out of the corner and still had no one back yet to stop him from going in on Pavelac alone) so as Buff caught up just as Downie scored he decided to throw him face first into the boards ala Dale Hunter style. Keep in mind Big Buff is 6'5" 260 lbs and he had a full head of steam from skating the entire length of the ice desperately backchecking and Downie had his hands starting to go up to celebrate and, understandably, didn't anticipate being run like that. Somehow Downie not only survived, but also got an even-up call against him so the Penguins didn't get a PP out of Buff's attempted murder. Downie, crazy mofo he is, tried fighting Buff every chance he got the rest of the game. Downie and Buff got 10 minute Misconducts first shift of the third period and Downie was later ejected, while still in the penalty box, for arguing with the ref about a later call while the ref was escorting the penalty-committing Penguin to the box to join Downie.

Also Despres and Kane fought.
And Bortuzzo and Wheeler.

Kinda dumb on both Jets part.

Adams and Lowry also fought, but who cares. I was kinda hoping Adams got KO'ed TBH.

Jesus Christ that would have pissed me off to watch.

Okay now that I caught up with the thread and saw the videos, what the fuck was he even thinking with that hit?

Lol. San Jose must really hate us. Been trolling them for years.
