Was he too afraid to go with Max? Is Ekblad the Linden of defence? Did you see that tilt between McAvoy and Dubios? Why can’t he throw down?

Ekblad has a history of concussion and probably didn't want to risk another one in a meaningless game and against a midget goon. Don't blame him one bit. Hope Domi gets 5 games for it.

I like Ekblad just given ole Roberto Macenzzi the gears. Max got dirty like his old man

That was the exact move Tie pulled on ulf samuelsson

Panthers don't have no Tom Wilson to protect their stars.

Check out Jesse Pull-you-yarvi's goal in the highlights tonight. He better not turn into that kind of player or we're going to be fucked for decades.

They have Haley. He’d punch the piss out of Wilson or Domi

Ekblad embarrassed himself by not dropping the gloves, he looked like a chicken. Yes it was wrong what Domi did but Max was rag dolling him for a while trying to get him to drop his gloves, pure chicken shit, IMO. But yeah Blob is right he’s the Trevor Linden of defence, just wants no part of fighting. McAvoy now that’s a Defenceman! Loved his tilt with Pierre Luc Dubios

Islanders sign defenceman Luca Sbisa to one-year contract

$1.5M for the STALWART.

But I thought top 4 d men get paid more than that

lol, well Sbisa got the highest contract awarded for a PTO.

CapFriendly:
Sbisa's $1.5M deal is the highest awarded to a PTO since we started tracking professional tryouts back in 2015

So that's something I guess.

Nobody would have batted an eye if he earned 1.5 million for Vancouver. Same with Gudbranson. That’s a fair salary for both of those guys.

Would you rather Calvin De Haan at 4 years $4,550,000 or Luca Sbisa at $1.5?

Brian Gionta retires today at 39.
