2023-24 NHL Season

[EagerBeaver]

One reason why the Rangers are having success and especially winning in Philly is they are no longer pussies in Philadelphia like in the past. Just watch this fight between Matt Rempe, a 6'7", 21 year old rookie on the Rangers, and the thug Nicolas Deslauriers of the Flyers. Lots of good punches landed, but Rempe wins the fight and sends Nic to the penalty box with a bloody forehead, also sending the message to these goons that the Rangers are not to be fucked with!!!!!!! The fight ended when the pummeled Deslauriers pulled Rempe's jersey over his head and yanked him down to stop the assault:

“He asked me in warmups,” Rempe said. “He's a real tough customer and said, ‘Let’s go.' It was a great fight. We were throwing bombs. It got the juices flowing, and it was unreal."

The Athletic has called Rempe-Deslauriers the "NHL Fight of the Year", and fans are demanding more from these 2:

'An absolute animal': Nicolas Deslauriers initiates fight of the year contender

“That’s a good old-fashioned hockey fight,” coach John Tortorella said of Deslauriers' tilt with the Rangers' Matt Rempe.

In case anyone is wondering, Rempe-Deslauriers II, the rematch, could happen on March 26 when the Flyers come to Madison Square Garden.

Yesterday night 2 good games....LEAFS 4--COL 3....BERTUZZI with a hat trick to celebrate his birthdate....could play important role in the crunch......and VAN 3 BOS 2 in o/t....both winners with great comeback.

Another good Matt Rempe fight today and he now has 32 penalty minutes in less than 15 minutes ice time (which is incredible!) but today Olivier won the fight and CBJ won the game, snapping the Rangers 10 game winning streak. But Rempe will be back, he is new to the league and still learning how to fight the NHL level goons:

Kucherov with 1g3a yesterday/ first to 100 pts...102 pts.....under the radar BUT very impressive player.

I don’t think Rempe will last very long in the league. He takes too many power punches while his own hits seem to lack power.

Some prefer fight stats, maybe that's why. Ha!Ha!

JETS....une baisse des assistances de 27% au cours des 3 dernières années....

Especially for a team doing so well. Bettman claims the Jets will not be moved, will see what happens.

The "Hockey Canada 5" are getting a jury trial in Superior rather than Provincial Court. Not sure what the difference is but Superior sounds like a more local court and local jury. Trial date has not been set yet:

Hockey Canada sex assault case to get jury trial

Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart and Michael McLeod will have a trial by jury for allegedly sexually assaulting and attacking a woman in 2018.

As it is a criminal case it is FEDERAL JURIDICTION/SUPERIOR CORTÉ

As it is a criminal case it is FEDERAL JURIDICTION/SUPERIOR CORTÉ

Ah.....in Connecticut the "superior court" is the lowest state court. The federal courts are "U.S. District Court." I always thought it ironic that the "Superior Court" is the state trial court, which is not "superior" to the Appellate Court, the Supreme Court or the U.S. District Court. The only court the Superior Court in CT is superior to is the Probate Court, for which it functions as the Appellate Court, and assorted administrative tribunals.

It's not clear to me why all crimes in Canada are prosecuted in federal court. In the U.S., it's only interstate crime that gets prosecuted in the federal courts, and/or violations of federal law. Intrastate crimes violating state laws get prosecuted in state courts.

Not really, the superior courts are the highest provincial courts and therefore the third level of the federal system:

Bettman said the fans have to come to the games. He believes his own exhortations will improve attendance:

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said he doesn't think the Winnipeg Jets' attendance issues are a red flag for the team's viability, but he has appealed to fans to help the team fill seats.

Rangers retaliate against Columbus! Behind 2 goals and an assist from Panarin (82 points on the season) and another stellar performance by Igor Shesterkin (31 saves, .968 save%), the Rangers had their revenge against CBJ last night 4-1. Matt Rempe did not rematch Olivier (still has a black eye from their last fight), but did have an impressive 4 hits in 7 minutes of ice time, while not being called for any penalties, meaning all 4 hits were legal:

EDM 3 BLUES 2....great win in o/t....and finally what a winning goal by McDavid ...a super one....would not b surprise if again he is on top NHL players.

At this moment McDavid is the #1 player world wide, imho.

 

[gaby]

Agree....et je dis qu'il pourrait again terminer #1 des pointeurs....et même si il n'y parvenait pas...serait quand même the top 1 player.
