This weekend is already shaping up to be better, we have MacKinnon and Furlong back not sure on Cataford's status. That way we'd just be missing
Rousseau Vidicek and he'll be back next weekend. Dumais

Just curious did anyone think the Charge by the Cha player warranted a Suspension too? This is precisely the reason I personally don't think they should have banned fighting.

Completely off the topic of suspensions, but after... what? 20 plus years of Bobby Smith in charge, the Simons have dropped the no-facial hair rule from the team. I noticed it last year when a few guys started growing it out after christmas, but god was it noticeable, Braeden MacPhee has a full beard. It's so weird to see after all this time.
I'm not against the change, to be clear, it'll just take some getting used to!

Why is it going to take time getting used to the guys having facial hair? I just find that a weird thing to get used to. While on the topic I am happy they lifted the ban. I was starting to think it was an over step anyways. I’ll be honest I don’t know exactly how to articulate what I want to say here but it just seems to be an invasion of personal rights. You’re telling some kid they have to do something with their own face. Hell the military has lightened their stance on this. Sorry for my little rant that was just my take on it.

Scott MacIntosh mentioned on Twi.. cough I mean “X”, that this is the end of Markus Vidiceks iron man streak of 181 consecutive games with the Mooseheads, really have to respect that, unreal.

I mean... because I am a human with a pattern-seeking brain and after 20 years of conditioning of seeing one thing and it's seeing another? I find it weird that you find that weird? Anyway, I am also glad they lifted it. My stance on personal bodily autonomy should be pretty obvious

It’s hockey and the puck is no where’s near the face. The game moves so fast that the face is literally not at all something to be paying attention to. Now if we were talking about the Yankees and them getting ride of the ban it would be different. The batter is stationary and might see 5 pitch’s over a minute and half. Literally In between every pitch you look at the batters face. Also every position is just waiting for the ball to come to them.

But I've known people who would never notice until it's pointed out.
