So Vermette just slashed a ref in the leg. That's an automatic 10 game suspension.

Obviously the ref's fault he was 35% on faceoffs tonight.

From that angle it's alot worse than it originally looked. Never saw that view. Only saw a tap to the backside. I'll admit that's dumb as shit for him to do. Prolly gonna get suspended.

[Obsidian]

It's an automatic 10 games for abuse of an official. He's got a hearing to determine whether it'll be more than 10.

Pens win!

Pens Win!!!

PENS WIN!!!!!

That's Antoine vermette? Man. He's a good dude that seems way out of character. He's not on the coyotes anymore after his cup with he Hawks? Where have I been.

[DFJS]

Arizona bought him out over the summer and the ducks signed him to a cheap 2 year deal. Aside from this incident he's been a good pickup for the ducks.

Remaining time of season + 5 year contract for Julien.

Kings traded Tom Gilbert to Washington for future considerations.
It hinges on Washington making it past 2 rounds in the playoffs, and him appearing in 50% or more of the games.

So hey, a free Tom Gilbert

I guess this is our yearly, just in case someone gets horribly injured we have a shitty guy on the bench signing.

[Richybear]

Yeah, can't see him being used too often unless someone gets hurt.
Otherwise it's just a 5th round pick, so... still pretty much a free Tom Gilbert.

Nyquist gets 6 games. League continues to be a joke where player safety is concerned. This just in, water is still wet. We'll have more on these stories as they develop.

Back to you, Pierre.

[Sepukku]

Man those lawsuits are gonna be a bitch

[Obsidian]

McIntosh gets body checked into his own net and this is for sure going to count as a goal anyway because fuck me.

[Obsidian]

Bingo.

Edit: Like how is this not GI? He pitchforks the entire pad into the net.

And a high hit by Dubinsky goes uncalled because Kadri was the player that got hit.

Didnt Steve Dangle have a nightly segment called "Nazem Kadri Bob Ross" with stickmen drawings about how Kadri was drawing soft calls?

[Obsidian]

Yeah and now you could pull your skate off and saw Kadri's hand off in front of an official and they wouldn't even call a trainer, never mind a penalty. The refs don't care what happens to him.

[Ratatapa]

Seems like julien signed for 5M/year
