The nhl is such a joke with their discipline... There are incidents as bad as bertuzzi every year or two but they react to the level of injury rather than the conduct.

Go read their Twitter feed. It's very easy to hate that team.

Its the terrible work ethic or sloppy play in front of the home fans that really bothers me. I have been a season ticket holder for 15 years and never have been so vocally angry and frustrated in the stands. So much potential just underperforming. Got to be driving BT nuts!

The latest low point of last season was 24-24 on Jan 24th last year and yet they some how turned it around to make playoffs. So still some time.

I took some solace from hearing Tkachuk seeth in anger over that effort last night.

This is what happens when a team has a trash GM that actually can't get real hockey players to play for his team, he fills the roster with trash like Rinaldo.

The NHL is currently fighting a lawsuit against head injuries, so the smart move would be to suspend him for the rest of the year.

If his team had any class they'd throw his stuff out the arena door or demote him to the Southern Florida Seniors league to play out his contract.

Woohoo, Xmas holidays are here! Missed being here and good to be back as I've been so busy with work. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone.

Wow, there were 5 SHUTOUTS on the OOT?!?!?! The Knights just keep on winning and on the losing side, what is going on with the Penguins? The Capitals seem to be having a rough western road trip. Good offside challenge by the Leafs, the still shot shows it all. Barzal mania as the Jets crash on Long Island. How many more stinkers will Markstrom let in, yikes. A big summary coming tomorrow.

Fair enough, but, the Flames are only 3 points out of 6th place.

Can't believe Zac Rinaldo still has any place in the NHL. That is embarrassing.

Honestly.

Why did any NHL team think it would be an okay idea to sign Rinaldo to another NHL contract and play him? He has a long track record of proving he can't hack it in the NHL on any skill level, never mind the fact that he's got a history of being a cheapshot artist.

Coyotes are a joke, just like Rinaldo.

That ref who briefly tried to prevent Johnson from caving Rinaldo's face in... shame on ye.
