And the NFL cares about player health.

To a certain degree they do.

They don't want star QBs like Rodgers, Manning, Brees, Romo (added for you ) etc. getting their careers knocked short by 300lb linemen crushing them with late, high hits so they have changed the rules somewhat.

BUT, if you are a lineman, linebacker, running back, defensive back...meh. There are over 100 NCAA Div 1 schools each graduating 20+ seniors every spring (something like 2,000ish graduating seniors looking for work each year when there are only 1,700 players in the NFL...).

Meh. Ethics shmethics.

Paddy needs to sharpen some skates during the intermission. That's like 6 players that have lost an edge.

Hey, Hansen scored on a break away.manyone notice?

Did Scrivens ever sell that call. Not only should the goal have counted he should have been called out for diving.

Yes couldn't believe it Hansen scored.

But the rule is clear, if you are in the blue paint then no goal. Not always that black and white though.

WTF happened to Hansen.

He held the puck, out-waited the goalie, & fired the puck up where momma keeps the cookies.

Reality isn't.

The paradym has shifted.

Dave Nonis looks grown up with that facial hair.

I don't remember him being this bad. Was he always a turnover machine or is that new this year?

[Todd Bersnoozi]

Sweet goal by Janick No Hands Hansen, getting on the breakaway and hitting the top shelf. Gotta give the guy props, he takes a lot of flack on this board. Nice feed by Matthias too, to spring No Hands loose, took his time to get the pass through.

I was tempted to say Stupid Burr on the disallowed goal; however, looking at the replay, he was going hard to the net and did get his foot in the crease, but he barely touched Scrivens and the guy went down like a ton of bricks.

Nice shot by Verbata on the 2nd, just ripped it.

Damn, former Canuck Pinizotto gets his 1st NHL goal on us. Good for him. Too bad he didn't get more of a chance to show what he can do when he was with us, but he was kind of injured all the time.

[Hockey Widow]

Higgins has a great shot too!

[SKYO]

Higgins, now that's capitalizing on the other teams mistakes, finally!

[Hockey Widow]

And the meltdown is complete. Pull Miller now. When he is bad he is bad.

[Chef Boi RD]

Like I said, Stanton is going to lose this game for us
