NHL Justice System
(Preview)
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone is as disgusted with the subjective system in which suspensions are given?
I think there's really four variables in a suspension (in no particular order): Intent, result of injury, media uproar, and repeat offender.
I don't want to get into too many examples b...

Best deal for Contender/Rebuilder
(Preview)
So what do you think is the best deal done today for a contender or a rebuilder... at 12:39pm PST my thoughts are: best deal for contender: To Anaheim: M-A Bergeron To NYI: 3rd round pick Bergeron will provide yet another weapon for the Ducks on the blueline, and is a good puckmoving defenseman.... best...

Since we are having a tough time in the sim, I guess we have to be excited about something. Gabby had an awesome night tonight. 5+1 for 6 points. The only thing better about him having a great night for us is that it he did it against Kirk's Lundqvist.... Kidding Kirk....kidding.
