P.K. Subban responds to the racist comments



If you haven't seen P.K. Subban's response to the racist comments that were directed at him following game one, here's the comments. What a classy response to some hateful, ugly comments.

Denver Post columnist asks Mike Yeo if they're targeting Av's players



In my opinion, this is Unacceptable. I know I wouldn't ask a college head coach this stupid question. Anyone want to bet who this anonymous Denver Post columnist is? I have my suspicions. I would be willing to be, that it’s probably the same guy that’s been chirping and trolling Wild fans all day long on Twitter.
Michael Russo, Star Tribune -- Denver Post columnist: So you wanted Cooke to target specific guys? Yeo: “Don’t get into this, alright? I know where you want to spin this. But listen, I want our players when somebody is in front of them to finish their check. That’s hockey. So if you think that I’m saying, ‘Go take him out.’ No, you’re wrong. There’s a lot more respect in this game than that and we have a lot more respect for the game than that. So what we say to our guys is if you have an opportunity to finish your check, finish your check. And that’s the same thing that I’m sure that they’re saying there, too.

Goon’s World Site Changes


I am please to announce that a brand new commenting system that has installed on Goon's World. I think the transition will be a smooth one. A while ago, I inadvertently deactivated the Intense Debate commenting system that I had on the blog for some time. That being said, I was not happy with the blogger commenting system. So,  LiveFyre is now installed and you "should" be able to log in with a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or with a LiveFyre log in.  Don't worry, I will still be able to moderate comments and ban trolls.

T.J. Oshie does his best pretzel imitation



This was on T.J. Oshie's Twitter feed and I am not sure what happened here. The former UND forward is having a pretty good season and has scored (2g-10a—12pts) in 15 games.

Sunday Evening Post: Interesting comment on Hakstol


I found this comment on Brad's blog tonight. I think it's an interesting comment, but it also brings up a topic for debate. Of course, there's nothing else to talk about right now, during the off-season.

Recently, back in June I was on 1310 with Jarrod Thomas and we were discussing Dave Hakstol's tenure at UND and how some are getting restless and with the head coach and how you see quips like this every once in a while on the various blogs around the internet.

As most of you know, I am a fan of Hak and I think that he's worth that they're paying him, but I do think It’s fair to question his salary. He’s a public figure.

In the last year or so, there seems to be more and more angst and antipathy popping on the internet message boards and blogs. Often I get comments on blog and I see a few on other places as well. Frankly, if UND didn't pay him, he'd get snatched up by someone else, top-flight coaches don't come cheap.

ESPN vs. the Sharks on Twitter



Check out this exchange on Twitter... I couldn't agree more, show more hockey highlights on ESPN. How about show some hockey. I rarely if ever watch ESPN, unless it's for the NCAA Hockey playoffs, NFL Football, or for an occasional FCS football game. That's it.

Tyler Seguin's Tweet caused by hacker?



Last night, former Boston Bruins forward Tyler Seguin sent out this tweet on twitter and apparently it caused a major storm for the newly acquired Dallas Stars forward. Seguin has since deleted/deactivated his twitter account. Seguins claims that his twitter account was hacked. The Dallas Stars have also responded to Seguin's tweets as well. The Dallas Stars are set to introduce Seguin on Tuesday at 11:00 A.M. Central.

The Wild make some Wild moves (RW77) - UPDATED

Alternate logo since 2000.

Free Agency has started and with it comes some interesting moves.

First, the Wild traded away Devon Setoguchi for a 2nd round pick, but that's a "who cares" kindof trade.  The big news?

THE CHEAPEST HACK IN THE NHL IS NOW A MINNESOTA WILD!

Matt Cooke, more famous for ending careers than winning games, signed a 3 year contract with the Minnesota Wild.


Ok, the upside to this:  Matt Cooke is a big hitting forward that is an obvious replacement of Cal Clutterbuck.  He has been on winning teams in the past.  He can score goals on occasion.  He was nominated for the Masterton and lost to current Wild Josh Harding.

The downside?  This is a player that is almost universally reviled.  I say almost because the Pens fans still defend him for the same reason, invariably, that Wild fans will inevitably defend him:  He's on your team.  Another downside?  He's one blindside Savard-esque hit from being McSorley'd.  This guy skates on thin ice everywhere he goes.

CORRECTION:  3 years $7.5 million contract or $2.5 million a year.  THAT, my friends, is OVERPAYING worse than Stalberg's new contract.

He did have a decent year last year blocking shots but then again, someone had to because Marc Andre Sievry couldn't.

Trust me when I say it:  This was a BAD idea.  If the Wild really did want Cooke's services, they should have gone for a 1 year contract with a club option (if that's possible) for a second year.  He may have only had 36 PIM in 48 games last season, but he's still one of the most if not the most dangerous skater in the NHL and that's saying something (as a Red Wings fan who couldn't defend the Wings' signing Bertuzzi).

Chad Graff (@ChadGraff) on Twitter said it best:  The Wild traded 1 year contract of Devon Setoguchi for 1 2nd round pick and 3 years of Matt Cooke.

Be Proud Minnesota.

A few of the deleted tweets from the Kings Twitter Feed



Here are a few of the tweets that were deleted from the L.A. Kings Twitter that were posted by account by @thekevinryder You have to wonder what the L.A. Kings were thinking when they let a Disc Jockey from a local radio station in L.A. do tweets for a period. The L.A. Kings are a first class organization. Here is the link to the radio station and it says, "Tonight, Kevin will also take over the Kings’ official twitter account for the 2nd period of the game."

Don Cherry and Coach's Corner



Tonight, Don Cherry from the Coach's Corner blew up the twitter world, when he discussed the subject of female reporters being in the dressing room. Personally, I don't have a problem with female reporters being in the dressing room after NHL hockey games, they have been there for a long time, already. I don't see what the problem is, nor should there be a problem, since the players are already dressed when they meet with the media after the game.

This removes any doubt; Brown's dirty elbow on Pominville

s/t to Michael Russo... In case anyone is confused, this was a text book hit to the head and a violation of rule 48. Jason Pominville's head is targeted by Dustin Brown.

48.1 Illegal Check to the Head – A hit resulting in contact with an opponent's head where the head is targeted and the principal point of contact is not permitted. However, in determining whether such a hit should have been permitted, the circumstances of the hit, including whether the opponent put himself in a vulnerable position immediately prior to or simultaneously with the hit or the head contact on an otherwise legal body check was avoidable, can be considered.
