  1. Yeah but not the trip from Manhattan to beautiful Holbrook after arriving from Dublin lol
  2. Well, it lies on you now my man. Let us know if you can do it another day where Robbie can go as well. I'm not sure I can do the 28th though. I have my former soccer teammate flying in from Ireland and don't know what days I have to be available for him.
  3. That's the problem with head injuries. There really is no way to quantify severity, length, nor how to fully avoid future issues. We also are 100% at Chytil's mercy with what he wants to do. When he wants to come back and is symptom free, I don't believe we really have the power to stop him really so it's not as if we can completely replace him either for cap ramifications.
  4. We are going with or without you. But it would be nice if you you two joined us
  5. There might be a bit of the backup syndrome how a team pulls together when an important piece is missing and sticks to basics. However, there definitely is something to the keeping Miller and Trouba apart. They are painful together and every playoff game away will likely have the opposition coach try to have his top line out when Trouba and Miller are out there. Lets hope Laviolette has the gusto to separate them which likely would mean your captain as a d3 pairing. Pretty ballsy thing to do really. I wouldn't really care for Gus with Trouba though. Jones is a bit more mobile but a bit inexperienced for lack of a better word. Ruhweidle is an RD I believe so that doesn't work either?
  6. You did a greet job outlining your opinion. Cheers for that. I'm aware of how you feel.
  7. Nope. You're giving your opinion and I am mine. Wilson had DOPS hearings going back to when he was 20 years old, yet his reputation and multiple suspensions still didn't get him suspended when he ragdolled Panarin and slammed his head to the ice. That's fine if you don't agree, but I don't think Rempe is going to get a target on his back for appealing a hockey play. All the rest of this is fluff, conjecture, and nonsense from both of us. There are no facts here. Just two opinionated stubborn people not agreeing. It happens.
  8. Nope it's not. Nor is it a requirement to quote me when I'm quoting someone not named you. As I said, I get your opinion. I disagree with it and you disagree with me. We've been through this. What else would u like to discuss?
  9. Correct. Rempe isn't Wilson. Wilson has and has had a far worse reputation for years yet his interactions with DOPS still get reduced, a blind eye with no suspensions at all despite them looking at incidents, arbitrarily odd, and no rhyme or reason to them. I don't believe Rempe gets a giant target on his back and hammered at every hearing going forward considering a long time goon doesn't even after years of the same behavior. Literally he got a fine for the Panarin incident despite YEARS of behavior in question. I get your opinion. I disagree. I'm not sure why we have to keep going back and forth on it.
  10. Tom Wilson was suspended 20 games years ago and appealed it to get it reduced by an independent arbitrator after not even accepting Bettman's initial decline for reduction. Then in March 2021 he gets 7 games for an incident with Brendan Carlo I believe. Later in May of the same year he has thr Panarin incident and gets only a 5k fine for crosschecking Buch and not even mentioning what he did to Panarin. If we are that worried thr NHL is going to hammer down on a guy with 10 games in the league JUST for appealing a hockey play, I think there is a giant issue considering Tom Wilson has been suspended and fined more than I post typos.
  11. I'm not comparing Spezza to Rempe. I'm answering your quesrion about if Bettman ever reduced suspensions. The answer is yes. Infrequently but yes. If you think Parros and the DOPS looks at future schedule when deciding a suspension then that's your opinion bit there is nothing at all factual about it. It's just speculation Common sense to me means his actions on the ice determine his reputation a hell of a lot more than appealing a suspension that many thing is a tad too long. Players appeal. It's part of the process. Its not some "how dare you quesrion my authority!!!!" moment in my opinion. These are professionals.
  12. Show me where the arbitration process shows who the future opponents are when they decide a suspension? I'm sure they take history into account but they already deemed his play against Bastian as not even fine worthy, so they aren't tacking on a suspension based on that play in the past. As for Bettman, he has reduced suspensions before. I'm sure it's not often, but it has happened. Again, there is no harm in this but we can agree to disagree.
  13. Hence why I'd be looking to get a one game reduction. Can't hurt in trying.
  14. I think there is when you're bringing up games in the league, common sense, whether if we were Rangers fans discussing it, etc. I 100% do get that he should be suspended. I don't get why it's exactly 4 games, but we've seen this from the league with seemingly random and inconsistent suspensions. I don't get the point of not appealing it at all. He's either here to stay or he's not. I don't think a routine appeal is going to piss off the league office and have a lasting negative impact on anything forward for him.
  15. But this isn't about being objective or subjective. The "if he were not a ranger" talk really donesnt have a thing to do with it. No one is saying he shouldn't he suspended. I thought 3 so I just said 4 seems 1 game too much and I'd appeal to see if a game gets shaved off. That's all. All of this "do the deed take your feed and medicine" talk really is just muddying the water to skew the conversation. It l was discussed all day ad nauseum yesterday with a wide range of suspension guesses. There's nothing wrong with suggesting 4 games is a bit much for him. Great, you think 4 is bang on. I don't. Myself and many thought 2-3 seemed about right.
  16. This isn't about sense or not. Players in sports routinely appeal suspensions. Hell, Tom Wilson of all people appealed a suspension after already being suspended multiple times and won the second appeal. It happens. They won't hold it against him going forward.
  17. Why not? Is there something in the rules that say seniority is a requirement to appeal your first career suspension?
  18. He has. Spezza comes to mind. Car I'll too when he was with us but that's going back a ways. It's not likely but I'm not sure what there is to lose.
  19. 1 game means back for the Isles game no? I'd certainly like that for sure.
  20. lol Igor just said shitty in the msg postgame interview
  21. Igor fucking Shesterkin boys. Igor fucking Shesterkin.
  22. Lovin tbr snarl from Fox tonight. Someone should pee in his cornflakes more often
