NHL 24/25 - Still did better than Vancouver

I didn't think it was that dividing.

I vaguely remember thought that as they fell, Bertuzzi's forearm was on the back of Moore's neck and Bertuzzi's like 260lbs?

Not that anyone deserves a broken (freakin?) neck, but some I knew was apparently in the Harvard system while Moore was there and he's apparently a ass.
It was definitely dividing. I watched friends turn on each other in those threads about the lawsuit on the old hockey forums.

The side that liked old time hockey and considered this just accidental damage from a legit receipt because Moore was trying to make a name for himself headhunting a superstar was quite large

It was heavily thought that Claude Lemieux's hit on Draper was far more intent to Injure than Bertuzzi's punch. Because Lemieux had a track record of trying to take guys out

There were also dudes posting videos on how Moore only wears the neck brace when in court for show and then instantly ripped it off when out of court, etc

Players testified that Moore was in a jacuzzi partying 2 weeks after that incident with no neck brace on.

Posts about how Moore realized he could get more career money by suing Bertuzzi than playing and how it was basically insurance fraud...it got quite ugly lol

Keep in mind Moore was suing for $60 million. His career was a call up 4th line energy guy who made 500k.

There were like a dozen threads on it and they kept getting locked lol

 

they gave him a small fine, which will be forgotten tomorrow.

i guess it's fair game to bertuzzi people now.
It's always been fair Game.

Unless a big injury comes of it and you get carried off on a stretcher. When Tye Domi sucker punched Ulf Samuelsson, you have interviews of the entire league laughing about it and saying Ulf deserved it lol

"I'd give Tye a bonus"

A DUI where you get pulled over for swerving without further incident never gets the same punishment as a DUI where you caused a wreck and hurt other people
 
My fantasy hockey draft is tonight. I can't wait
Its a keep 5 league with 14 teams. I won the title in 2022 and have been making finals or semi finals since 2016 lol

My league uses categories of : G, A, P, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, FOW, and W, L, Saves, Sv%, GAA, SO
Skaters have 9 categories and goalies 6, effectively making goalies VERY valuable in this league because 40% of the weekly stats come from goalies.
Typically, each team keeps 2 goalies. which means at least 28 goalies are gone before the draft

You can ice: C, C, RW, LW, F, F, D, D, D, UTIL, G, G
So its feasible to draft tons of Faceoff winning Centers to stack the FOW category. Wingers are devalued if they don't take FOW.

PIM, GWG and SHP and SO tend to be "lottery" categories and harder to control. In banger leagues, PIM is a bit more controllable, but this league is very point production and faceoff win reliant

My 5 keepers are: McDavid, Mackinnon, Hellebuyck, Bobrovsky and Kochetkov
I normally do not keep 3 goalies. But in the first 2 months goalies are the premium trading chips and I had no skater I wanted to keep over the 3 goalies.

I have no 1st or 2nd, or 4th round picks this year. I have A 3rd, 5th, three 6ths and two 7ths, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th
i haven't drafted in the first 2 rounds since 2016 lol. I trade them for rentals at the deadline every year.

But I am typically very good at mid/late drafting and sometimes get insanely lucky. I drafted Karlsson with my last pick 2 years ago and then he went to have a 100+ point season lol. Last year my final pick was Wyatt Johnston and I'd say that worked out marvelously.

But I am open to some suggestions if folks have some sleeper picks for Late rounds of the draft. Typically, with my 3rd rounder ill want solid dependable NHLers who produce year after year. Kadri, Eriksson Ek and Boldy and Meier types typically fall to 3rd round. Sometimes later.


I have my eye on Mctavish, Cooley, Lundell, Rossi, Fantilli, Mintyukov, Faber, Luke Hughes, Brandt Clarke, Stankoven types for later on.

I see some other Gm's struggling to hide which kids they are targeting. I can always tell during chats lol. They try to downplay and not talk about certain players like Michkov and Demidov and say "maybe in 2 years", but every year they hate me because i am that arsehole in chat going 'Wow, nobody took Michkov yet!" and then one of them cracks and takes the rookies lol.
The only Gm not concealing is the guy with 1st overall. He is taking Swayman, contract or not. Last year we knew he was taking Bedard 2nd overall because the 1st overall took Swayman(And left him unprotected this year) lol
 
throwback to when damir ryspayev received a lifetime ban from the KHL after entering the royal rumble and trying to fight an entire team.

 
Sucks for Laine but if you're going to make a move at the blue line then you have to actually make a move. You can't just skate straight into the defender and hope he moves out of the way lol. Pare lead a tiny bit with the knee but nowhere near enough to warrant anything major. Just an unfortunate situation.

what a bitch, a good tough canadian kid would have gotten up and finished the shift!

I don't think he was faking it. I recall that Steve was supposed to be better than Dominic and Dominic had a decent career.

My thinking of it was, yeah he might want money, but there's probably better ways to get it. It's akin to when guys get sent to the shadow realm in a fight and people yelled "fake fight!!!!".... If the fight was fake, I'm sure he's gonna go down in a way that includes eating out of a straw.

A good Canadian kid would have dump and chased instead of trying to get fancy at the blue line.

I remember the biggest argument was whether what happened on the ice should stay on the ice. Ie. no external law enforcement

Don Cherry (if he was a habs fan)(probably): "Patrick Linaye had it coming. You people should be be wearing your habs jerseys to show your support for Arthur Jackoff over the terrible fine that he had to pay. It's absolutely terrible what this young canadian kid from hamlitton ottawatario is having to endure. Smarten up people."

Steve was a 25 year old rookie who could barely score half a point per game in the AHL and Dominic was better at all levels including their 4 years at Harvard.

He was never going going to be anything more than a league minimum player. He was smart, harvard grad and all, and sued for more than his lifetime earning power in hockey. He definitely milked it.
 
canucks are playing oilers right now. i didn't know that edmonton had a hockey team.

Dominic had a really good career. Played good minutes for the teams he was on. I can't remember that far back and don't know enough so I'm going to have to defer to you on that one. Just what I remembered from that time.
 
he's faking it. just wait until he shows up at the leafs game, takes off the cast, skates out onto the ice and hits ryan reaves in the head with one of his crutches, leading up to a hell in a cell match at this years survivor series.

"IT WAS ME!!!!!!!"

Shouldn't be making McMahon jokes at this time though...
 
arshdeep bains just went arsh deep in the edmonton end zone.

the oilers absolutely suck. they should just forfeit the game and relocate to st. john's newfoundland just to try to save face.
 
draisaitl needs to be suspended for at least 10 games for doing a slapshot on a shootout.

this is some bullshit right here. motherfucker should still be sitting in the box after hauling down that one canuck when he had the goalie down and out of the play and had a wide open net to put the puck in.

players who remain penalized at the end of the game should not be allowed to participate in shootouts. gary buttman needs to invoke the drysaitl clause and put an end to these shenanigans!
 


willie nylander is softer than toilet paper. he should join the olympic diving team.

I can tell you his average contract was near league minimum every year and he was always a bottom 6 player with an average point total of 20-25 points in 82 games. He did have 1 year where he hit 40 points on a leaf team whose best players included Matt Stajan and Nik Antropov, so they gave chumps extra opportunities.

In any case, Steve Moore was a 25 year old call up who went headhunting to make a name for himself
