GDT: Around the League 2020-21 v24

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

CBC was kicked to the curb a while ago.

Most of the HNIC talent moved to SN full time around 2016, who now produces HNIC.

I know. SN airs HNIC on CBC who gets to promote its shows for free and Ron McLean is the holdover from the CBC era even as a SN employee. I’d like to see CBC completely out of the picture along w Ron McLean.

Not a fan of Ron McLean.

Yup, Ron's best before date was long before even Don Cherry's. And I didn't care for the way he threw Cherry under the bus as he was getting punted.

McLean lords over the show as if people tune in to watch him. Once the intermission hits I change the channel to another game. Watching Cassie, Ron and Kelly every intermission makes me want to puke.

can definitely see the referee influences in him

McLean is part of the Dinosaur Club that run the league. The same cult that insists there be 2 rule books, one for the regular season and one for playoffs that removes the skill from the game.

McLean can’t be kicked to the curb fast enough as he has undue influence on the game and he knows it.

I wish there were only two rule books. Many different books depending on which teams are playing.

Ron McLean is a snake.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

The Habs w greater odds to win the cup over the Oilers lololol. They may not even make the playoffs this coming year.

 

[McDNicks17]

Another former Oiler great hangs them up.

 

[Del Preston]

Another former Oiler great hangs them up.

He was a wall for his first 16 games in Edmonton.

 

[bellagiobob]

Must have outbid the Habs and the Canes.

Must have outbid the Habs and the Canes.

Everything I just read, and I mean everything i read in that whole thing........is stuff I would've expected to read/hear in a news reel on a radio station in Grand Theft Auto V.

 

[Stoneman89]

He was a wall for his first 16 games in Edmonton.

I'm amazed he didn't earn himself a lucrative long term contract for that.

 

[yukoner88]

I'm amazed he didn't earn himself a lucrative long term contract for that.

Maybe there was an offer and that's why he has neck issues to this day. Whiplash from doing a super intense double take

 

[BlackDogg]

 

[yukoner88]

Combine this, with those ugly buyouts......I think Bill Guerin might be in over his head here. I love the guy, but he almost seems like he's in a situation where the tail is wagging the dog

 

[bellagiobob]

8 figures in US$? Anyone know what the biggest yearly contract over there is? Didn’t think it was anywhere close to that.

 

[Black Gold Extractor]

8 figures in US$? Anyone know what the biggest yearly contract over there is? Didn’t think it was anywhere close to that.

No idea. A few years ago, Kovalchuk and Datsyuk were the highest paid players, making $5.5 and $4.5 million USD respectively, but the revealed salaries notably didn't include bonuses. There's now a salary cap in the KHL, so the highest salaries are now approximately $1.5 million USD, but as before, bonuses aren't reported.

8 figures in US$? Anyone know what the biggest yearly contract over there is? Didn’t think it was anywhere close to that.

Perhaps, it includes the 2 decimal places.

This is almost surely bogus. The KHL has a hard cap that these days is pretty strickly enforced I believe.

Anyone else getting sick and tired of Robin Lehner? I get the mental illness issues but whining about being underpaid to the media when your agent negotiated the deal and you signed the deal is exactly that - whining.

Same with the Covid protocols he whined about. He didn’t have to play.

Just one more reason to dislike Vegas and their entitled pack of whiny stars.

Just a thought. Maybe those other two got over paid??? Nah, couldn't be.

He was about to become a UFA before he signed his last deal. Had the choice of where he wanted to go. He chose security, like he mentioned at the time. And now he’s questioning why other guys get paid more? Maybe he should ask his agent or honestly ask himself that question. Like pretty much everything with regards to Vegas, the bloom is off the rose.
