Re: 2011 NHL Off-Season: The Puck Boat edition

The Tyler Myers contract (7 yrs, 5.5 AAV) is wayyy too much at this point in his career. Buffalo has really gone crazy with throwing the money around. Still 3.5M (a little more than Ales Kotalik) over the cap this year, and only 9M of theoretical cap space next year with 16 players signed.

The Marchand and Tavares contracts were pretty good, I think. As for Myers' deal, time will tell. I agree it's a little steep right now, but Buffalo must've been worried about losing him.

Marginally better?

At least Ovie was joking about the whole experience - "I suck", etc.

The Russel brothers may play on the same team (CBJ) and tbem Toews may also play together for CHI tonight.

First suspension of the Shanahan era. Now with video explanation goodness!

They apparently plan to do this for every suspension they give out, which is a hugely awesome thing.

The Wheel of Justice was awesome, but this is pretty badass as well...

Apparently a fan threw a banana on the ice when Wayne Simmonds, a brotha, was about to do the shootout thing. Classy.

BTW, Wayne still scored.
