Rip The Mesh Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) This is exactly the way the officials should handle a fair fight. So glad they didn't ban fights in the NHL. Some may disagree, but fighting IS part of hockey. Edited December 20, 2023 by Rip The Mesh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But normal tilts like these are so rare nowadays. It's usually a big hit or bad blood boiling over in the third. This is NOT the week to be praising the NHL and its officials for anything. Ask Gudbranson or Larkin. Edited December 20, 2023 by Miss Korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophomore Jinx Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Nolan Patrick, A Former Top Pick, Seemingly Retires From the NHL Story by NHL Trade Talk Nolan Patrick, A Former Top Pick, Seemingly Retires From the NHL© Sergei Belski-USA TODAY Sports 25-year-old Nolan Patrick, the 2nd overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, appears to have officially retired from the NHL. There hasn’t been an announcement made by the player or the teams he was last associated with, but Dylan H. Robillard of The Hockey News notes that his name showed up as the member of a new group offering skills training, video coaching, and mentorship. The original sighting of his name was with thepowerplay.hockey on Instagram. His decision to leave the game marks the unfortunate conclusion of a promising career overshadowed by persistent injuries. Specifically, migraine issues prevented him from realizing his full potential on the ice. Patrick spent four seasons in the NHL, donning jerseys for both the Philadelphia Flyers and the Vegas Golden Knights. Throughout his career, he battled with trying to stay healthy and he never reached the heights expected of a top draft pick. In 222 games, he recorded 32 goals, 45 assists, and 77 points, reflecting the talent that, unfortunately, couldn’t fully flourish. While it’s sad to see that his on-ice career seems to be over, there is some encouragement to the news, seeing as he is already transitioning into a new chapter. His hockey experience should make him extremely suited for taking on these new roles. Reactions to the Nolan Patrick Retirement News The unexpected nature of Patrick’s retirement announcement has sparked varied reactions, with some expressing surprise at the unconventional path his career has taken. One commentator remarked, “Patrick officially retiring and becoming a glorified hockey-centric life coach wasn’t in my end-of-the-year bingo card.” Nevertheless, the overarching hope is that Patrick finds joy and fulfillment in his retirement, away from the physical toll of professional hockey. We can only wish Patrick the best in his future endeavors. His journey serves as a poignant reminder of the unpredictable nature of sports careers and the resilience required to navigate the challenges that arise along the way. From 2OA pick in 2017, and potential of being a future multi-millionaire, to Hockey "Mentor"/Skills Coach at 25. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno... given Nurse is 5 years older, Dahlin's contract might be better. Longer, and higher AAV, but don't think it's worse. I mean, we are talking about that meathead Nurse here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
