Shaw cleared waivers and will report to the Moose.  Thought there was a chance he might get claimed so glad to see him make it.

This aged well didn't it? Borque and kuli in.. The kids out. 

 

 

Tkachuk is such a POS. Kassian was already engaged with another player, so he was prone....MT took advantage (while also hitting from behind). Should have AT LEAST been a boarding...

Tkachuk is a shitdisturber, no doubt, but that was a clean hit.  He even slowed up and backed into him.  Is he looking for that hit because it's Kassian?  Probably, but it was clean IMO.

Kassian was engaged with another player, and the numbers were out.......nothing about that is clean.

It looked to me like he caught him on the side, as Kassian was propelled mostly sideways.  As far as being engaged...  He was, but Giardano was trailing him when the hit occurred.

The league said it was a clean hit.... that being said Tkachuk is learning a lesson that poking the bear to many times will land you in a heap of trouble.  It's called pushing his luck to far.

Kassian: He needs to answer the bell. He’s a *****.

Tkachuk: Stay of the tracks if you don’t want to get hit.

lol

He got his team a 4 minute power play, so I'm not sure he'll alter how he goes about his business, in the future.

Kassian gets 2 games.

3 points out of first... They are the opposite of the Jets

All Vegas fancy stats are top 5. Their GAA tho is bottom 5 or 6.. 25th in the league.. 

Goaltending got him fired and goaltending is keeping Maurice from not being fired as Jets are bottom 5 or 6 in those same categories but top 5 or 6 in goaltending. Aka Helle is standing on his head every night

Yeah, crazy.

And isn't Gallant supposed to coach at the all-star game?  A little awkward.

Gallant will find work easily for next season....  maybe with the Jets 

There is obviously more going on here behind the scenes, i.e personality differences that may have nothing to do with hockey directly.

Yup. Pacific division
