So, is there going to be hockey, or will this be a year of fashion discussion, with mf’ing ‘wokeness’ overlays?

I just hope he shaves.

the Cogs hit was nothing like this lol
I honestly disagree: The Cogs hit was exactly like this hit - passing by and his shoulder contacted the head of the opponent because their face/jaw sticks out. Neither was intentional (Perry has a history, Cogs not, so maybe, sorta, Perry has to overcome that).
Were you being sarcastic? I can't tell. But I know what I see which is from the cheap seats in front of my computer screen.

I'm guessing there's a suspension coming...
i wonder if he'll be in the line-up for his game later this month at Honda Center!
That was very reminiscent of the dirty, awful, almost fatal hit by the Dirty Duck's player, Andrew "headhunter" Cogliano that saw a 2-game suspension to end his consecutive games-played streak.
Which of course means it was the kind of "hit" that in past decades would not have brought a reaction from the target, but who now spin, flop, and cross their eyes because 'he touched me'.

With all the bad news about Babs, Peters, Crawford, etc. dominating the headlines, it’s nice to see good guy Bruce Boudreau coaching the hell out of the Wild right now. 8-0-3 over their last 11, and just beat Tampa in their own building.
I really miss the big red tomato. Good guy. Great coach.
The troubling thing here is that the 'bad conduct' that is getting these coaches in trouble, happened years in the past. It's like the treatment the refs give the Ducks: Full scrutiny with an eye toward punishing this year's team for stuff done in 2005. Not fair in either case. You'd think that the fact that there were no recent reports of bad behavior by the coaches would indicate that they've grown up a bit.
Dittos for BB. Very nice person, great coach.

Good for Perry! I smiled through the whole video. Getzlaf's words hurt a little though, wish they could have both hit 1k together.
Dittos. But this is the suck-side of the sports business. Love his family and they all look alike.
One wonders whether Corey could have, should have, had the surgery he had this off season, a few back? Maybe he'd still be a Duck and productive. As it was, he looked so 'giraffe on ice' most of the time, the buy-out had to be done. Bummer and well-deserved honors for CP and family.

It's crazy to think how many players are in the game. How many players have played over 102 seasons (granted alot of the early seasons were six teams). And Perry is only the 340th player to reach the 1K milestone.
With modern strength training, nutrition and medical services, I'm sure we'll see more and more players reaching the thousand game mark.
The modern rules changes will be the biggest help of all. How many years more might Perry have been productive for the Ducks had he not be assaulted, beaten, hacked, cross-checked, and slashed (often without calls despite the obvious effects on his ability to handle pucks).

If I'm a "contending" team, I'm not looking to sign him now, I'm looking to see where he lands so that I can try to acquire him at the deadline (if he proves he's worth it).
Me too, which is why I had that crazy trade proposal for him earlier (which everyone knows Bob would never have the guts to do). But I also think people are too quick to dismiss the chances of him coming out West. He's 30, he just had his first child about a month ago, and he's been getting absolutely CRUSHED by New York media for the past two seasons. Given his stage of life and hockey career, why wouldn't he want to move someplace like Southern California to try to revive his NHL career? It's a great place to raise a family, there's no media circus, and he'd get top-4 minutes on a team that already has a world-class netminder and three other very good D-men. Given what Shatty has experienced the past few seasons on the east coast, I would think that he couldn't pack his bags fast enough if GMBM called up his agent and expressed some interest.
New York might be the sole location with taxes, weather, and craziness, that could make California's taxes livable.

Dallas just signed Pavelski for 3 x $7M too. I can't figure out why Pears would want to go there with Pavs also going there. They have poor center depth behind Seguin and Pears now has a crowded RW depth chart with Radulov and Pavelski. Doesn't seem like a very ideal situation for him to hit his bonuses.
Because: behind the scenes, CP thought he was coming on strong and would be fine and have a good season. Then the Ducks tossed him out. He is fully paid and wants to prove something.
I am mind reading and guessing. Bet it’s accurate.

So: He retires, after getting strong hints that he will be employed at a salary that, Miracle, is close or better than the amount of the remaining contract. Is this really a difficult concept?

I received an offer to renew my online subscription for NHL Center Ice or whatever name they use.
Deleted it without 2d thoughts.
I’m just feeling so disconnected from all of this. I seem to have lost that ‘lovin’ feeling’.
