I'll be in Erie Saturday for the Conner McDavid show

[meow]

McDavid to see a specialist regarding his hand. Presumably from the Sabres organization.

[Pruezy11881]

Fractured bone in his right hand...

[dodint]

He'll probably fall all the way to number 1.

[Avyran]

The guys on NHL Live are defending McDavid for fighting, sticking up for himself.

Perhaps if the cheap shots & standard penalties would be called, you wouldn't have to "stick up for yourself" & break your hand. Physicality is fine; cross-checks, hooks, and so on that are legitimate penalties, though...

Ah well.

[mikey287]

There's things in the game that are not governed by the rules...certain things that happen that are legal and would be legal with any reasonable rule change that still piss people off...

I stick by the "good for him for sticking up for himself" good Canadian boy...

[Beveridge]

He's 17. What 17 year old isn't stupid more often than not. Better to learn this now than next year when it really matters.

[meow]

Age doesn't matter to me. If the refs are going to protect you, the league limits your team's ability to protect you, protect yourself.

[meow]

Otters are in Niagra tonight. Game is on NHL network.

[mikey287]

Niagara just acquired Josh Ho-Sang from Windsor today...

[meow]

Wow. Just heard that. How many junior players get traded after being drafted? I can't think of any.

[mikey287]

The year after they were drafted? Or just this soon thereafter?

[meow]

I was thinking this soon. Season is hardly a month old.

[mikey287]

Yeah, nothing this soon comes to mind. I have a feeling this is the first of many trades JHS is going to see in his career...

[meow]

Agree. Don't unpack, Josh.

[mikey287]

Wow, what a bender play by JHS...

[Caputi19]

Otters dominated niagara most of the game. Sad otters wont have mcdavid for like 2 months. As soon as he comes back he goes off for WJCs

[Caputi19]

Only downfall if you call it that is that he tries to take the puck to the net maybe more than his should.

downfall? That's usually a good thing... unless you mean beat everyone 1 on 1? Care to elaborate?

He just tries all the time to beat defenseman hes coming down on 1-1. In the show hes not gonna be able to do that and hes gonna get decked by weakside dman looking for hit coming across the front. All world talent but rushes alot of plays instead of letting them develop. All I ment
