The highlights of the game guys.

Hey Guys,

Oshawa Generals fan here. Your 6th round pick in 2009 Daniel Maggio was just traded to the Generals and I was wondering what Hartford's D would be looking like next year. Basically, I trying to figure out if Maggio will be back to play his overage year in the OHL.

Also, any thoughts on Maggio's game would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Edit: I see that he remains unsigned but I'd still like to know if signed where he fits.

A Whalepack versus a shark...pack? Sounds like an epic battle to the death.

So does anyone have footage of Zuccarello's hit on Cheechoo? Was it that bad? norwegian media mentioned the Sharks' coach going nuts over it :/

I didn't think it was that bad. If I remember correctly he kind of tripped up Cheechoo at full speed. But I can't remember lol.

Pack got CRUSHED 5-0 today.

You mean CRUNCHED.

Did MZA score??? (Kidding)

Barb Underhill does it again!!! All Hail the Whale but hallow be Barb Underhill's name. She gets more credit than the new jersey in my book.

I hope they can bring her in to the Westchester facility. Check up on Boyle. Make sure he isn't slacking in technique. I'm sure there are adjustments every player could make to improve their stride, increase their speed, and skate more efficiently to save energy.

was at the game. it was a disaster for the whale. they were completely outplayed all night. and the crunch are not a strong team.

here are the pack highlights....

Ha it sucks that you had to witness their only really bad game in the past 11 or so.

AHL announced a one-game suspension for MZA today, likely for the play involving Cheechoo.

was it from MZA playing with too much jam?

is there a clip of the cross-check floating around?

It wasn't a cross-check, imho. Cheechoo and Zuccarello were racing for the puck, Zuccarello to try to negate an icing, and Zuccarello just gave him a little shove. But it was enough to knock Cheechoo off balance and send flying into the end boards at high speed. Zuccarello got two minutes for boarding on the play. If Cheechoo hadn't been hurt I'm not sure Zuccarello would have been suspended.

Edit: Just watched it again, and Zuccarello wasn't trying to negate an icing -- it was at the opposite end of the ice. He was racing back on the backcheck to prevent Cheechoo from getting a scoring chance.

Zuccarello suspended before Avery this season?:biglaugh:

Like I've said several times before, MZA is really kind of a mix of Pat Kane and Ryan Hollweg.

Jesus F... Christ... Whale was up 4-0 on Manchester, now 4-4... Brutal.
