NHL wants interview with Lehner after goalie alleges medical malpractice

Wow… if true wow…

If not true, Lehner gonna get sued real bad by Vigneault

garland pretty feisty for a smaller player :devil:

That was his exact reputation coming into Vancouver.

Annoying commercial of the hockey season, that stupid Aeroplan commercial with that stupid song/noise.

Quinn:
"best roster we've had in my 3 years here"
"jim made some great moves this off season"

:lol

AV looking great

tbh i had no idea who he was lol. had to go on youtube to watch his highlights after the trade was made.

Same, i've been so out from watching sports a ton since becoming a father that I had no idea wtf this guy even was to the point I thought we got completely hosed on the deal until after I found out more I was much more ok with it.

I get it, dude is coming from a non hockey market and us basically only seeing Canadian teams all last year, it's easy to miss non superstars.

He's an awesome little firecracker, I watch AZ play twice in 2019/20 and he really stood playing high tempo hitting guys all over the place. He's going to be a huge fan favorite, just wait!!

can't escape :lol

OEL is so smooth and controls the pace so well. Absolutely no panic regardless of the pressure, and it looks like he’s playing at a different speed compared to other players. The game looks so easy for him. Effortless. Barring a major injury, he’s going to be good even late into his contract.

OEL is a norris Dman never getting recognition playing on a celler dweller team. If he played on a good team he would've been Norris finalist several times probably winning it

he was quite the fantasy hockey journeyman. great option

lol, after a few preseason games, I hope OEL proves everyone wrong that hated the trade.
Maybe he really just needed a change of scenery.

^ It's very possible .. and that's what everyone hopes but how would anyone know for sure until a change actually happened? The other outcome is equally likely ... let's revisit this after game 41 or at least after game 20.

Louis has 3 goals and apparently leads the team in ice time.. some players do just need a change of scenery.

Watching the pre-season games so far can’t help but be concerned with the lack of scoring.

Seems like such a constant theme in the last few years. Goals are so hard to come by

Evander Kane is in the news again. :lawl:

-investigation into Evander providing a fake Covid vaccination card:

https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/10...nder-kane-nhl/

A Vancouver-born NHL player is at the centre of an investigation which is looking into allegations he faked his proof of vaccine card. Evander Kane is not taking part in training camp with the San Jose Sharks.

Sportsnet 650 Host Dan Riccio says this investigation is the only situation of its kind in the league right now.

“What could happen, that’s still very much up for debate. One thing we do know is if it does turn out to be true, it doesn’t feel as though it would be grounds for the San Jose Sharks to void Evander Kane’s contract,” he said.
