Thread: interesting red wings trade i just saw
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>As much as we would all love the SvechX2 situation, the reality is older Svech he hasn’t been very good at the NHL level. I don’t think he’s a player the Canes would be looking at.

Alternatively, AA could be interesting but I don’t see him as a player who would play more than 10-12 mins a game for Brind’Amour. Speed is great, but he hasn’t been great defensively.

Reality here - Canes would send a 1st, a solid 3rd pairing LHD whos a RFA, and a defensively solid bottom 6 winger who is great on the PK for what?</div></div>

There are a lot of good left handed options out there for a top 6 guy. I just wish we had more rightys on the team :( would make us a bit more versatile

Thread: Petr Mrazek has retired
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>To me it wasn't even that Mrazek went down. I fully believe he was just shocked (not prepared to receive a punch) that Jumbo threw that jab. It's pretty rare a skater punches a goalie in the face. I know it wasn't a Hey maker, but that jab had some force to it. I'm a little surprised with Mrazek's head shaking that's more a concussion reaction than throat reaction (I believe...I have NOT been full on throat punched). I heard someone else say that the length of time he was down on the ice was surprising, but that probably just going through the motions of getting himself together. No urgency to get back up really.

Mrazek was solid in net last night. Give credit where it's due. I'm a critic of his generally.</div></div>

When I watch it, it looks like a throat punch to me.. And in my experience, if he actually got hit hard in the throat, it takes a minute or 2 for your breathing to get back to normal. It almost makes you gasp for air like if you were to get hit in the stomach.

I have a soft spot for player injuries, unless it is a clear dive like we have seen before.
