So you're the next Gordie Howe, right?


Nah. I'm the next Blake Comeau @EsoYeezus69

Sad but true: I have never played ice hockey in my life frown
There are no arenas near me that offer 1-on-1 coaching for weak skaters like myself.
#1 on my bucket list. What I wouldn't give to be able to skate properly and play in a real actual hockey game...


Considering I'm assuming you live in Flordia (correct me if I'm wrong) that understandable. Maybe some day you'll be able to play.

The second his "Betting Investigation" was closed the NHL opened a new investigation.

While he already has court stuff for a separate woman (for "paid" abortion he didnt pay for, lying, mental abuse etc etc etc), the court filings with his wife have intesified (while he filed for a restraining order on her, I think she has one on him too) - with new allegations including (from new court files) ; rape, forced sexual acts, abuse, accidently hitting his daughter (while attempting to hit his wife), I mean it goes on and on but I don't think I need to continue.

Anways..


With this, Wilson and the internal workings of the team (already being known a majority of the players and management, one of whom is most likely pending UFA Hertl, don't want him on the team) - its evident the team would like him gone asap.


Hmm that's unfortunate that this is happening that way. Obviously his wife and him aren't really getting along to say the least.

How well do you guys think the Kraken will do. It’s been one game and they beat the Canucks 5-3. Only problem is that they iced their regular NHL roster whereas the Canucks iced their AHL roster and fourth and fifth string goalies. The Canucks had like 5 NHL players on the roster. I honestly expected the Canucks to lose like 8-2

I didn’t play a minute of organized hockey until I was 12, and even then it was only one night a week rec league

I learned how to skate on the Ottawa river. Tbh, there’s a ton of great tips on YouTube, and if you can find a drainage pond or something near you, that’s probably one of the best places to learn

I have people tell me “pond ice sucks you can’t learn” yeah you can. It teaches you reaction and to keep your head up and to expect the unexpected

Could some Devils fan confirm the rumour he was a lazy trainer? I am having a hard time understanding he didnt get a contract while Gudbranson etc. all get signed grin (nothing personal against Eric, but one could argue his skating is pretty lacking already)

He seems like the type of guy who has only a few destinations in mind and if it doesn't work out he retires.

Doesn't seem like he'll outlast his time on PTOs and one-year league minimum deals.

He said he'd like Bergevin to call him, but it's unlikely. He is probably open to the other Atlantic teams.

If it wasnt for Liligren looking good I would say I would like him in Toronto lul. Cause he would make for a good partner for Sandin. But if Liligren continues his strong play we will probs see Holl at the 3rd pair.

Kind of not surprised this happened

Greig did after all cross check PLD in the face resulting in 15 stitches being needed

That said it will probs be a 1 game suspension.

But man imagine if that's how player safety decides how many games lul.

Well we’re pretty much icing our AHL roster tonight so if the Blues lose it’s going to be quite an embarrassment.

Here’s what we’re going to be rolling tonight: https://www.nhl.com/stars/news/dallas-stars-st-louis-blues-game-preview-september-27/c-326379148

He’s probably telling him “play like Blake Comeau, he’s a fantastic player”.

I wouldn't consider him lazy, he was straight up bad

Why would you give up potential MILLIONS in hockey to be an influencer? What is this kid’s thought process?
