@passittobulis That’s a clean hit. Hirose opened up as he was delivering the pass & Klapka followed through on his check. Proximity to the boards doesn’t mean he should let up.
@JasonGregor@ThomasDrance Team friendly is typically related to what he signed for relative to what he could’ve got elsewhere. Probably left close to $10M on the table vs what he gets in the open market. That, to me, is team friendly.
@taj1944 I just hope they stay under the cap without putting Poolman on LTIR so they can toll space & add a player of consequence at the deadline next season.
@eddielack Would love to also hear your thoughts on the slash. How does a hands together baseball swing to the leg compare to a crosscheck to the neck when neither results in injury?
@pharling To suggest that “we” have the power to force a player to do anything is absurd. These athletes have reached the highest levels because of their determination & ability to push themselves past what your average person can do.
As a hockey scout, the worst thing a parent ever said to me was how they really hoped their kid would get a scholarship out of hockey because they could no longer afford to pay for their kid’s education since they spent it all on his minor hockey career instead.
Gotta love how @BauerHockey encourages you to buy a custom stick as a Christmas gift but doesn’t give any acknowledgement for the fact it may not get used right away. $350 gets you 5 ice times & their response is to offer assistance purchasing another one. #bauer#HockeyTwitter
