Can't find the American sports thread

Oooooooh baby. Tonight's highlights are worth you catching up on. And another 1pm EST / 6pm GMT game on Saturday for you.

I've seen the scores, annoyingly. But ooooooooooh baby indeed. W3 streak and atop the conference (for now) , just ahead of Saturday's oppenents who also had a good one yesterday it seems.

Red Wings could be quite a game.

Not so great. Bit of a rubbish day all round yesterday.

Thank you New England, very happy with that.

Were you even looking for one and are you looking for another girl?

Sorry.

Another high scoring game v Buffalo. Only saw the goals briefly just now but fuck me. Last 5 games have been mental.

I went last night. Left with 10 minutes to go at 5-1 down. DJ has to go.

I thought the final might have flattered to deceive given the scorecard.

The whe DJ must go thing has been going on for about a year now though hasn't it? And still, there he is.

He's had a pass because Melnyk was too cheap to fire him, then we had a year with no one wanting to make changes while ownership was being resolved. Now we've got an absolutely stacked roster and the same hideous mismanagement on and off the ice - we have a GM whose mistakes have caught up with him and left us so cap strapped that we can't sign our 3C despite him being cheap until we move someone else out, and a head coach whose approach to losing a player to injury is throw all the defensive pairings in a blender and then wonder why it looks inconsistent. We went 3-0 down last night, finally got a goal back, and his response was to put the fourth line out for the ensuing face off.

Dorion and DJ have to go, and I think Andlauer and Staios must see that. They need to sweep clean.

Result for Sens v Pittsburgh. At the same time ex Penguins and Nottingham Panthers forward Adam Johnson died following a freak accident on the ice. Weird as.

Sounds like something from a horror movie, slashed across the neck by someone's skate blade.

Have now seen the video it's horrible. The Sheffieled guy appears to Kung Fu kick him in the neck with his blade, surely that isn't an allowed move, I know they condone a fights but that seems way beyond?

Gets up and shares off with a ref holding his neck blood everywhere.

I really don't want to see it.

I wouldn't my son had it.
But serious question, won't the guy get charged with something, doesn't look like any kind of accident to me.

It's 100% an accident. The Sheffield player is moving to make a perfectly legal check and as he does his left skate hits the trailing foot of another Panthers player, causing it to fly into the air and hit Johnson. It's just a horrible, horrible accident.

Unbelievable and awful. Has anything like that ever happened in the NHL??
