Jack Eichel trade rumours.

Trade chatter remains around Jack Eichel as his Sabres visit Rangers at Garden | Newsday

An off year for him, but I think that they'd be crazy to trade him at this point.

Overpaid?

Overpaid?

2018–19	Buffalo Sabres	NHL	77	28	54	82	26	—	—	—	—	—
2019–20	Buffalo Sabres	NHL	68	36	42	78

Not the last 2 years. 160 points in 145 games and with the potential to still be even better. There's a good chance that this year is an outlier. Maybe he needs better teammates as well.

Tom Wilson suspended 7 games for boarding Brandon Carlo, in a game Friday night.
My guess is Wilson will appeal, it'll get dropped to 5 or 6 games.
A 7 game suspension in a 56 game season would equate to 10(.25) games in a normal year.

He's lucky it wasn't 12-15...complete head shot against the glass...doesn't look good on the officials that no penalty was called, Carlo had the puck, they shouldn't have missed it.

He's lucky to still be in the NHL.

I was watching hockey highlights on TV a couple of nights ago. A player somehow picked up the puck on the blade of his stick and carried it for a couple of steps before flinging it into the opposing net.

Welcome to 1996

Welcome to 1996

I thought that was pretty neat but maybe against the rules. Anyway, I think the goal was allowed.

BTW: I tried one of those hockey sticks with a hole(s) in the blade. That was also pretty neat. Wonder if that will be the stick of the future?

... maybe against the rules.

Why?

 

[shack]

Why?

Add it to the list. No field goals, no first serves and no carrying the puck on your stick.

I don't believe it is against the rules...

That's what I thought when they allowed the goal. It was pretty neat. The player actually balanced the puck on the blade of his stick which was about 3 feet above the ice, carried it forward for about 5 feet and then fling it into the net like they do in lacrosse.

There has been a few goals like that...look up "hockey lacrosse goals" on youtube.

The one I saw the player was in front of the net. I guess it doesn't matter.

The first time I saw one was Junior hockey in the 80s...it's a hot dog move, eventually you would get the shit kicked out of you for doing it...but, times are changing.

LOL! I guess they don't teach that in hockey school.

Anyway, i wonder if the hole in the blade hockey stick will make its way into the NHL. I tried a couple of those sticks and you can actually use the hole(s) as a "cradle" to scoop up the puck and carry it above "sea level".

 

[Darts]

Damn, no "lacrosse" goals.

Jake DeBrusk used one last season - not sure about this season as I have not watched any Boston games.
