Of course they don't have an online streaming option. Why would they? Can't allow those extra twelve cents they might lose on slightly inaccurate location information get away, can they? I've been paying Bally solely so I can watch games on my PC. These assclowns aren't getting a dime from me, one way or the other, unless they change their minds and I don't have to use their shitty data mining apps. "Oh yay! I get to watch hockey on a 6"x3.5" screen!" said absolutely nobody that wasn't in the middle of dropping a deuce.
Gotta agree with Castillo. It's not as if the Stars had a ton of cap room and cash laying around and regardless of the money they were NOT going to offer Tanev six years. It's time to get over it already. So who was the alternative? Umm... nobody. Nobody that would make sense. Better to take a year-long flyer on a couple of warm bodies, shore things up, think really REALLY hard about Jamie Benn's contract and go from there.
24/25 isn't exactly a rebuilding year but it's as close as you can get. If the Stars are in a bad position at the deadline I'd expect them to sell as hard as they can, write off 25/26 as a full rebuild year, and come back in a much better position for 26/27.
I mean, I'd PREFER they just chloroform Auston Matthews, put a fake mustache on him, call him San Antonio Matthews, slap a new number on him and trot him out there but I'm pretty sure those sorts of shenanigans are what the whiny contingent call "illegal" and "kidnapping" and "human trafficking" and "violating the salary cap" or something.
This is one of the most unhinged, coming in hot, swing for the fences first posts I've seen on here.
I hope all your subsequent posts are such bangers.
