Aren’t all fights in hockey a “clear attempt to injure”? Can’t believe the anti-fighting position is still vastly in the minority when it comes to hockey. It just bugs me when someone gets hurt and the discourse centers on some breach of “fighting protocol” instead of critiquing fighting itself.
Disgusting stuff from Trenin. Complete lack of respect for your opponent and a clear attempt to injure.

Martin St. Louis said Emil Heineman was hit by a car while crossing the street, not at a high speed and the injury is not serious. He joked, in talking about Heineman’s size, that the car was totalled.

Why are Andrew Peeke’s Hit numbers way down this year? Last 5 years: 3.18, 2.33, 2.25, 2.32, and now 1.1. It’s not a TOI issue. 🤔

Sure, sending Emil Andrae to the minors is probably the answer to the Flyers’ defensive woes. Chart from Frozen Tools @dobberhockey.bsky.social.

so, uh, according to @evolving-hockey.com's RAPM, here are the seasons of Rasmus Sandin and Quinn Hughes. Sandin also has a 53% xG share with WSH's top two lines off the ice at 5v5 (+4 by goal differential). All his defence partners are worse off defensively without him (via @hockeyviz.com)

There hasn’t been enough talk about Marco Rossi having 23 in 26 this season.

He’s third amongst 2020 draftees in scoring behind Tim Stützle and Lucas Raymond.

Ahead of Alexis Lafreniere, Quinton Byfield, etc.

Wild have outscored opposition 22-11 at 5-on-5. He has a 57.5 xGF%.
