{coyotes} ​NHL says subpoenas for Bettman, others an effort to 'harass'

 

The National Hockey League is accusing former player Mike Peluso of trying to "create a sideshow" by issuing subpoenas for commissioner Gary Bettman and two other high-ranking NHL executives in advance of Peluso's upcoming workers' compensation trial.

In a Sept. 22 filing with a workers' compensation court in California, NHL lawyer Christopher Stettler wrote that Peluso is trying to "harass" Bettman, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and former New Jersey Devils' general manager Lou Lamoriello, who now holds the same position with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Peluso's lawyer, Shawn Stuckey, on Sept. 8 issued subpoenas for the three NHL officials to be deposed in advance of Peluso's trial.

Stettler wrote that none of the three has been served and that neither Bettman nor Daly should be required to be questioned because Peluso has never worked for the league. Stettler was given copies of the subpoenas on Sept. 13 during a court hearing.

"Peluso offers no reason why these two officials have any personal knowledge (Let alone "unique or superior" knowledge) regarding the basis for his allegations in this action," Stettler wrote in his filing, a copy of which was obtained by TSN. "These subpoenas to Bettman and Daly are designed to harass the NHL and gain settlement leverage. The subpoenas should be quashed.

"Peluso's attempt to pull the NHL into these proceedings is clearly designed to create a sideshow to, and distract from, the weakness of his own claims against Defendants."

Stuckey wants to ask Bettman and Daly about how teams communicate information to players about injuries, according to his subpoenas. Stuckey also wants to obtain details about the NHL's drug policies, including record-keeping practices for the distribution of prescription painkillers by NHL team doctors and trainers.

Stuckey also plans to ask Lamoriello whether he reviewed key medical reports related to seizures Peluso suffered following a fight in 1993 that resulted in a concussion.

"Lamoriello was already deposed by Peluso's attorneys and questioned about Dr. Ruderman's report," Stettler wrote in his Sept. 22 filing. "Peluso's attempt to re-depose Lamoriello is an attempt to misuse the orderly discovery process by avoiding obvious, less intrusive discovery and instead harass a high-ranking club official."

"Lamoriello has not been served with the subpoena in Canada and this court has no jurisdiction to order this belated deposition subpoena in a foreign country," he wrote. "Peluso will still have an opportunity to examine Lamoriello a second time to the extent Peluso or the Defendants call Lamoriello to testify at trial."

Peluso filed his worker's compensation lawsuit in Santa Ana, Calif., five years ago. The former enforcer alleges that he suffered a string of seizures while playing in the NHL. He says the Devils and other teams allowed him to keep playing and fighting on the ice even after he began suffering seizures.

Peluso alleges he is now permanently disabled and he has named four of the five NHL teams he played for – New Jersey, Ottawa, St. Louis and Calgary – and insurance companies including Chubb Ltd., as defendants in the claim.

Peluso told TSN on Sept. 6 that he is determined to proceed to trial after rejecting in late August a $325,000 (U.S.) offer from the defendants to settle his workers' compensation lawsuit.

Stuckey has said the workers' compensation case would likely proceed to a four-day, open-court trial that would be held in Santa Ana, Calif., likely in late February or early March.

{coyotes} NHL board of governors discussed role of national anthems at games

 

The NHL's board of governors approved a change to the coach's challenge rule Wednesday, but that wasn't the only topic brought up at the meeting.

According to Sportsnet's John Shannon, the board also discussed national anthems and the role they play at NHL games.

A growing number of NFL players have begun kneeling, sitting, raising a fist or linking arms with teammates during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to games. It's a trend that has become a divisive topic in the North American sports landscape and one that may continue in other leagues with the NHL and NBA regular seasons just around the corner.

It's unclear if any NHL players will kneel during the anthem, but Joel Ward of the San Jose Sharks and Wayne Simmonds of the Philadelphia Flyers said they might consider doing so.

(UPDATE: Ward tweeted Thursday that he will not kneel during the anthem)

As A.J. Perez of USA Today Sports points out: "The NHL's rule book does not address a player's responsibilities during the anthem and a person with direct knowledge of the league's polices who is not authorized to speak publicly said there are no other guidelines currently in place ahead of the start of the NHL regular season on Oct. 4."

NHL Players' Association executive Donald Fehr released the following statement Wednesday:

"As you know, we now see a marked increase in the number of professional athletes kneeling, sitting, locking arms or otherwise taking a different approach to acknowledging the playing of the U.S. national anthem. It certainly appears this will continue in the near future, as will the public conversations surrounding the issue.

"We believe each player may choose to speak out or engage in peaceful protest on matters that are important to him. A player is entitled to his own views on political and social issues, and the right of each player to express such views deserves respect. Should a player decide to make such a peaceful protest, he would of course have the full support of the NHLPA in regard to his right to do so."

{coyotes} New-look Coyotes looking for turnaround

 

ARIZONA COYOTES

LAST SEASON: 30-42-10, 70 points. Sixth in Pacific Division

COACH: Rick Tocchet (first season, third NHL season).

ADDED: C Derek Stepan, D Niklas Hjalmarsson, G Antti Raanta, D Adam Clendening, D Jason Demers.

LOST: F Shane Doan, F Radim Vrbata, G Mike Smith, D Connor Murphy, D Anthony DeAngelo, F Jamie McGinn.

PLAYER TO WATCH: Raanta. He was a solid backup to Henrik Lundqvist with the New York Rangers, going 16-8-2 with a 2.26 goals-against average last season. Now he gets a chance to carry the load of being a No. 1 goalie after the Coyotes acquired him and traded away Mike Smith, their No. 1 goalie the previous six seasons. How he handles it will determine how quickly the franchise can turn around.

OUTLOOK: The Coyotes made drastic changes during the offseason, trading away Smith, parting ways with coach Dave Tippett and deciding not to re-sign longtime captain Shane Doan. Most of their moves appear to be upgrades, particularly the additions of Hjalmarsson, a steady defenseman and three-time Stanley Cup champion, and Stepan, the top-line center they've been seeking for years. If everything comes together, the Coyotes should at least make a push toward ending their five-year playoff-less streak.

{coyotes} Tocchet, rebuilt roster offer Coyotes hope in 2017-18

 

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Andrew Barroway made quick and drastic changes shortly after becoming sole owner of the Arizona Coyotes, trading away the No. 1 goalie, parting ways with the coach and cutting ties with the longtime captain in a span of a few days.

The Coyotes hope the moves will lead to quick changes on the ice.

After a summer of accelerating their rebuilding process, the Coyotes enter the 2017-18 season with a new-look roster and a new coach as they try to end a five-season playoff-less streak.

''I think we did a pretty good job of putting together a competitive roster that has a nice mix of veteran and youth players,'' general manager John Chayka said.

Barroway became the Coyotes' sole owner after buying out his partners in June and started overhauling the roster almost immediately.

Arizona traded No. 1 goalie Mike Smith to Calgary, parted ways with long-time coach Dave Tippett and told captain Shane Doan it would not re-sign him for a 22nd season with the franchise.

The Coyotes replaced Smith with Antti Raanta, who they hope can make the transition from a back-up with the New York Rangers to a No. 1 goalie. Arizona also shored up its blue line by trading for steady defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, a three-time Stanley Cup champion with Chicago, and landed the top-line center they've sought for years by trading for Derek Stepan.

Those veterans will mix with a young core that includes All-Star defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, dynamic forward Max Domi and up-and-comers like Clayton Keller and Brendan Perlini.

They'll all play for Rick Tocchet, the former Tampa Bay Lightning coach who promises the Coyotes will play fast and hard.

''Everyone gets a clean slate,'' Tocchet said.

A few more things to look for from the new-look Coyotes in 2017-18:

NO DOAN: Doan had been a fixture in the Coyotes' lineup and one of the most revered athletes in the history of the Valley of the Sun. The team unceremoniously announced it would not re-sign the longtime captain, a move Barroway later admitted was handled poorly. The team plans to retire Doan's number in the near future, possibly sometime this season. His presence in the locker room will be missed and a new captain will have to be selected, most likely Ekman-Larsson.

IN GOAL: Smith had an up-and-down run in the desert. He helped lead the Coyotes to the 2012 Western Conference Finals and was an All-Star last year but played inconsistently in between. Taking his place between the pipes will be Raanta, who went 16-8-2 with a 2.26 goals-against average in 30 games as Henrik Lundqvist's backup. How he handles being a No. 1 goalie for the first time will go a long way in determining how good the Coyotes can be.

BLUE LINE: The addition of Hjalmarsson might be the Coyotes' most important move of the offseason. He's a steady defense-first defenseman who is expected to free up Ekman-Larsson to chip in even more on offense. Add in Alex Goligoski and Jason Demers, recently picked up in a trade with Florida, and the Coyotes should have one of the best groups of defensemen they've had in the desert.

CENTER UPGRADE: The Coyotes have spent years trying to find a top-line center without much luck. Stepan should fill that void nicely. The 27-year-old has eclipsed 50 points during five of the past six seasons and has been a steady goal scorer, notching between 16 and 22 every year of his seven-season career in New York.

DOMI'S ROLE: Domi had a superb rookie season, scoring 18 goals while notching 52 points. The Coyotes were expecting a big sophomore season from the son of former NHL tough guy Tie Domi, but he was limited to 59 games after breaking his hand in a fight. He still finished third on the team with 38 points and the Coyotes are expecting his production to rise with a healthy return this season.

{coyotes} Researcher says tests for CTE in living patients could begin within a year

 

A Boston University researcher said clinical tests to determine whether living subjects have the neurodegenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) could begin within a year.

Neuropathologist Dr. Ann McKee also told TSN in a phone interview Tuesday that she is weeks away from completing the examination of a former NHL player's brain to determine if he had CTE, the brain-withering disease linked to repeated head trauma.

Dr. McKee said the results of the tests and identity of the former player would only be disclosed with his family's consent.

Dr. McKee has already diagnosed CTE in four former NHL players – Reggie Fleming, Rick Martin, Bob Probert and Derek Boogaard. Former NHL player Steve Montador also had CTE, according to researchers with the Canadian Sports Concussion Project in Toronto.

Boston University shook the sports world on Tuesday when it announced that Dr. McKee and her colleagues had published a study that revealed they had isolated a protein, or biomarker, that was present in the blood of deceased former athletes who had suffered from CTE.

The protein, called CCL11, was found in greater amounts in people who had more advanced cases of CTE, McKee said.

BU researchers examined the brains of 23 former college and pro football players and compared them to the brains of 50 non-athletes with Alzheimer 's disease and 18 non-athletes.

"[Researchers] observed that [biomarker] CCL11 levels were normal in the brains of the non-athlete controls and non-athletes with Alzheimer's disease, but were significantly elevated in the brains of individuals with CTE," BU wrote in a news release. "They then compared the degree of elevation of CCL11 to the number of years those individuals played football and found that there was a positive correlation between the CCL11 levels and the number of years played."

Dr. McKee said that the result could lay the groundwork for researchers to use blood tests in living patients to determine whether they have CTE. Currently, the disease can only be diagnosed after death.

"So far we've done this in port-mortem tissue," Dr. McKee said. "The next step is to see if we can detect the biomarker in blood. We'd like to start in high-risk subjects and that could happen within a year. It's not terribly far away."

In July, BU reported that its researchers found CTE in the brains of 110 out of 111 deceased former NFL players. Since then, the pace of brain donations and pledges for brain donations has increased, including from the hockey world.

"After the [July] paper we are getting brains like mad," Dr. McKee said. "We're trying to keep up. We do have more hockey players signed up. It's word of mouth. It's how we started with football. They came in one brain per month. Now we're getting enormous numbers. I think the same thing will happen in hockey. The large reason people don't donate is they aren't aware. Unless people have religious reasons, it's a way to contribute to people's lives and future generations."

An NHL spokesman did not respond to an email requesting comment.

Dr. McKee said she understands that some active pro athletes, including NHL players, would not want to undergo a test for CTE.

"This is a disease that starts slowly and advances slowly," she said. "The severity of CTE is related to the number of exposures to trauma and if someone tested positive if they were interested in a productive and successful life going forward they might consider retiring. But I know that most people are focused on the present and don't want to consider the future."

More than 100 former NHL players are suing the league in U.S. federal court in Minneapolis, alleging the league should have done more to protect them after they suffered head trauma and concussions.

In connection with that lawsuit, the NHL has hired Dr. Rudy Castellani, a neuropathologist and director of the Western Michigan University Center for Neuropathology.

Dr. Castellani denies that CTE exists and has challenged the work of Dr. Bennett Omalu, who made international headlines after he performed an autopsy in 2002 on former Pittsburgh Steelers player Mike Webster and diagnosed him with CTE.

"The NHL is really in the dark ages," Dr. McKee said. "It's denial, obfuscation and the usual tap dance. You ask any seven-year-old and they will tell you CTE is real. The NHL is being ridiculous. It's almost laughable."

{coyotes} Penalty for failed offside challenge among NHL rule changes

 

The NHL has a clear message to coaches starting this season: Don't challenge an offside call unless you are really, really sure.

At times last season, coaches challenged on the off chance a goal would get called back or to at least give players a breather because all it cost was a timeout. That is expected to change because, pending approval from the board of governors Wednesday, a failed offside challenge will instead result in a penalty as the league tries to get the coach's challenge closer to what it was intended to be.

Commissioner Gary Bettman said that last season, the second with coach's challenges for offside and goaltender interference, included an increase in the total number of reviews and the percentage that were not overturned.

''We're in effect trying to discourage using the coach's challenge on offside unless you're really 100 percent certain that you're going to win because it was a blown call,'' Bettman said. ''The coach's challenge was really intended to focus on glaring errors. And by imposing a two-minute penalty if you're wrong, it should limit the number of challenges to those instances where there's a glaring error.''

It's still not perfect because a coach who wants to take a chance can still claim goalie interference in some instances. And there's still the concern that challenges take too long to figure out, but the league hopes fewer unneeded reviews make for a positive step forward.

Here are some other rule changes or points of emphasis this season:

NO TIMEOUT AFTER ICING

Since 2005, teams have been unable to make line changes after icing the puck, with the design of creating some extra offense from fatigue. Coaches got around the rule by calling timeout to provide players some extra rest, but now that won't be allowed.

''That's consistent with the original intent of the icing rule that there was to be no substitution by the team that iced the puck,'' Bettman said. ''I think saying what we intended, namely if you iced the puck because you're tired, you're not going to get a break. I think that works well.''

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf doesn't think it'll cut down on icing but sees one place where the rule change will have an effect.

''The strategy's going to come on the offensive side,'' Getzlaf said. ''As soon as those pucks are iced, you're going to see coaches put out their top lines - much like they do now, but probably to a little bit stronger extent knowing that they can't call a timeout.''

FACEOFF VIOLATIONS

This isn't a rule change, but officials will be calling players for not obeying the markings around faceoff circles. It was a frequent penalty in the preseason because faceoffs are a haven for Dale Hunter's old adage of, ''If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.''

Director of officiating Stephen Walkom said the goal is to get closer to the clean faceoffs from the late 1990s when the markings were first put in and make it safer for players and linesmen.

''Over time, the rule slowly eroded to where you have players using their hands, basically banging heads over the dots, encroaching so much on the faceoff that they're putting the linesman in danger of being slew-footed on almost every drop, going down on one knee,'' Walkom said. ''We're not trying to reinvent the rule. We're just trying to reclaim some ice relative to the faceoff so that we can have a fair and competitive faceoff.''

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller hopes it levels the playing field.

''I think it'll be a disadvantage to guys that like to get their skate in there to use as it a part of winning their faceoff because now you have to have it so far back that it's going to be hard,'' said Eller, who called himself a stick-only guy 80 percent of the time. ''Usually the guys that like to get the skate in there, they would be way over that red line. You have to keep your foot back. I think it's more of an advantage for guys that really only use their stick to win the faceoffs.''

SLASHING

Broken fingers to Calgary's Johnny Gaudreau and Ottawa's Marc Methot last season because of slashes prompted concern that the problem had gotten out of hand. On-ice officials and the league office will be taking a closer look at and calling more slashes in and around the hands to reduce injuries and improve the quality of play.

The league is always sort of looking to make the game safer and they're always looking to, in recent years, generate a little bit more offense,'' Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner said. ''That's going to maybe create more scoring chances, if it doesn't create more power plays.''

{coyotes} NHL’s Bettman says he respects players’ views on political issues

 

National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman says he respects players' views on political and social issues and "people are going to have to decide what makes them comfortable."

Several pro hockey players have commented President Donald Trump's call for protesting NFL players to be fired. Winnipeg Jets captain Blake Wheeler tweeted Saturday about the First Amendment, writing: "these are literally the principles the US was founded on. Come on, Mr. President."

In a phone interview with The Associated Press, Bettman says social issues "are a matter of individual belief and individual choice."

After Trump uninvited the NBA champion Golden State Warriors, the Stanley Cup-champion Pittsburgh Penguins say they've accepted an invitation to go to the White House.
