Elliotte Friedman: I have heard there's been some talk... don't think anything is close...Alexander Nikishin from Carolina, I've just heard that is one that continues, it gets a little bit hotter...then it calms down - NHL Tonight (8/7)
____
NHLRR: Nikishin's name surfaced in the rumour mill as early as the draft, with a host of teams ready to make bids including the Rangers and Blues; his contract demands, reportedly 8m+ AAV, appear too rich for Carolina
@Th3AnalystX No calls all 1st period, Refs let them play, MTL takes a lead late and of course TB gets a PP on a call that could have been made 4 times in the 1st. Joke.
#GoHabsGo Get the early lead in the 1st. Proceed to have the next 4 penalties called against them. (Yes I know 2 for DoG)
They kill all and then Refs "miss" a blatant high sticking call (cause TB is still losing) and what happens on the same play. Fuck of @NHL Fuck You Bettman
@HockeyJunkieYT Looks like Bettman's Officials are back.
This game has been taken over by the Refs.
Becoming less and less of a coincidence that a Canadian team hasn't won a cup since 93. (Bettman was hired in 94)
@MitchyGallo@TSN690@seanrcampbell He and Pasternak are the same, they blow the D Zone before thier team gains possession and look for breakaway passes. If I was a teammate I'd honestly hate to play with either player. Not what I would consider a 200 ft player by no means.
