0:28 hanafin? You mean Juulsen
As Av fan, this stings, his game heavily rely upon and helps to get superstars' room. Avs need to make their own history, come back, and break game7 record. Not sure if Avs can play Cory Perry's card if he's reinstated. But most importantly, I hope that he gets his life back on track. Substance abuse is no joke
Addiction is a b*tch đ
Hyman injuring Zadorov with a cross-check to the face during the Soucy suspension video is comedy gold. The timing makes it even better.
if you hit the post you hit the part of the net that doesnt count. you didnt hit the netting but u did actually hit the net as posts are a part of the net so you didnt miss the net.
Posts is not good shooting
Cat not impressed with your analysis, but he'll allow it.
He needs to get cut. Hes a millionaire, a professional athlete. He cant grow tf up or get the help he needs. He doesn't deserve the millions hes making.
addiction is not really a choice. maybe they should do more testing in general instead of making huge example punishments and relying on players' fear of getting caught.
Yes, the suspension is punitive. It should be. The Player Assistance Program is there to help you but if you're not willing to help yourself, you can't expect to keep getting 2nd chances. Either you're serious about your recovery or you're not.
Why would anyone ever willingly go to the player "assistance" program when they can start dictating your life like this??
I've been so conditioned by John Garrett doing colour commentary that whenever a player hits the post I think to myself: "That's all he gave them" in Cheech's voice
Wow that is unreal..just goes to show you addiction has zero picks..same thing happened to john Stevens, playing with Mario and jagr,50 goal scorer. I kno these guys get injuries ect but it effects everyone..doesn't matter where or who you are in life..
The posts hit reminds me of that scene in benchwarmers âI ticked it I ticked it!â
âYouâre still outâ
I think we can all agree that the best thing to come out of the Nichushkin suspension was that we no longer have to listen to Garry Galley constantly mispronouncing his name.
âHey, lay me down some rails boys
Don't put me in jail boys
And if I make a little noise
Just leave me aloneâ
"If you hit the post, you missed the net" – future THG t-shirt/mug
Russian athlete failing a drug test. No surprise here.
You must fire all the workers of the assistance program if they did not help Nichushkin. Bad job.
Nikushkin has $36.75 Million left on his contract. That's a lot to give up for an addiction. Tells me a lot about how serious addiction can be.
Big OOF for the Avs!
If you hit the post, you miss the net and you also beat the goalie. Silovs was beaten four times in game three. lol
wonder what kinda drugs he failed the test for
So sorry to hear that news about Nichushkin. I was really hoping that he had tamed his demons and straightened out his life for good. I hope that this suspension works and he cleans himself up. I am a Stars fan but no one ever wants to see this happen to anybody and I am praying for him.
The Nuke news is big.. but that Soucy suspension is such bullcrap. Reminds me of when Oilers had Nurse suspended against Vegas. It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now. Only difference is Oilers fans won't admit how wrong it is now that the shoe is on the other foot. Nurse boarding, Ryan spear to groin, and slewfoot were all more suspension worthy. This just happened to be against McDavid and I guess the league figures Edmonton needs the help.. absolutely criminal.
From the UK, it's the same in "proper" football if you hit the woodwork it's counted as an off-target shot. Cheers HG i really enjoy your posts so keep the high standards.
Yeah, Shannon, I think youâre right. You can argue that hitting the post means that you either shot wide or the goalies positioning was spot on and you got what he gave you.
Funny how he was suspended for drug use and not rape and human trafficking from last year (just because charges were dropped doesnât mean he never did anything folks, Lucic still attacked his wife despite the charges being droppedâŚ)
Shots on goalpost is by definition shots on goal. đ§
But only saves and goals "counts". đ
It's all about goalie statistics… đ¤¨
I don't remember Nichuskin being called for a hearing?!?
Nichushkin has proved himself to not be reliable. Even if he returns to the NHL, can the Avalanche trust him again? He clearly needs help in his personal life and I hope he gets it ASAP.
No team will want this guy âŚ.. he obviously canât overcome his demons and he screwed the team twice and you canât have this in the locker room
Another talent that pisses their career down the drain.
You donât touch McPrecious
I hope he gets the help he needs, but a suspension during the offseason is pointless. They should suspend him for the rest of the playoffs (which is happening) and half of next season, or something like that. Missing games is the penalty.
Could you do a deep dive on the NHL players assistance program? What are the stages and how does that all incorporate into the NHL? Would really appreciate something like that
Thanks for all your hard work, it shows all the time
Good bye Avs !
So we can all agree that hitting the post isnât good goaltending. Itâs a missed shot.
Nichushkin with the nose cardio
For those that are interested:
"The Player Assistance Program has four stages: Stage 1 is the first in-patient treatment, which is entirely voluntary. Stage 2 is following a violation of Stage 1, wherein the entrant is suspended without pay during the active phase of treatment. An entrant is placed in Stage 3 following a violation of Stage 2, and is suspended without pay for a minimum of six months. After three violations, an entrant is placed in Stage 4, which carries a one-year suspension without pay and no guarantee of reinstatement." – credit Sportsnet
Shannon, we need a serious look into the CBA.
How did the businessmen in the NHL get saddled with such an anchor around their necks, compared to the NFL , NBA and MLB?
Rick DiPietro…..discuss.
And thatâs the only reason Dallas is going to win this series. Conveniently timed đ¤
When does the new THG logo drop?
