Without trying to get political, ^ dude might be the only person my .gif worthy than St. Patrick. I mean this with absolutely no endorsement or disrespect intended. Just classic gif after gif no matter the occasion.
So Mat Ishbia, the owner of the Phoneix Suns publically announced that he wants to bring back the Coyotes "one day." Since @henchman21 knows the owners, would this work under Ishbia? Would he be the best owner they ever had? A lot of his comments seemed to be functioning around getting a new arena and I wonder if this is partially a helping hand to secure taxpayer funds?

Suns' Ishbia wants to bring NHL back to Phoenix

Ishiba has his own issues, but yeah he’d be the best owner by a mile… and it is the way to get back into Phoenix. Expect early 2030s on this.So Mat Ishbia, the owner of the Phoneix Suns publically announced that he wants to bring back the Coyotes "one day."

When will the Avs get their Michkov or Demidov draft pick? We have been trying to draft Kovalenko and some other Russian players. When will we hit the jackpot for once?
Wait for those sweet top 10 picks once the rebuild startsWhen will the Avs get their Michkov or Demidov draft pick? We have been trying to draft Kovalenko and some other Russian players. When will we hit the jackpot for once?
Simple to implement and doesn't take away from anything. Could do it very easily.I was reading an article earlier today and somebody asked Dahatschek about head injuries and he brought up Ken Dryden's proposal from years ago. How do folks around here feel about it? The general gist was that all hits to the head are penalized regardless of whether or not it is the primary point of contact. 2 minutes I believe.
I like the general idea behind it, but really would not trust the current NHL in writing or implementing it.
You mean draft picks #5 and #7?When will the Avs get their Michkov or Demidov draft pick? We have been trying to draft Kovalenko and some other Russian players. When will we hit the jackpot for once?
For me the two biggest sticking points:Simple to implement and doesn't take away from anything. Could do it very easily.

Soccer and basketball are interesting sports that people like to follow.I don't want to see all physicality reduced...just head trauma. I'd hate for the game to turn into soccer or basketball.
But we are not people.Soccer and basketball are interesting sports that people like to follow.
As opposed to hockey.
So we're going to start punishing tall players now with that rule? Most headshots that happen in the game nowadays are either from players who are really tall or the player with the puck was reaching and too far bent over. Very rarely do we see the Matt Cooke trash that we saw maybe 6-7 years ago. It still happens, don't get me wrong, but not as much now.I was reading an article earlier today and somebody asked Dahatschek about head injuries and he brought up Ken Dryden's proposal from years ago.

Nah, they're cheap sports that everyone knows about.Soccer and basketball are interesting sports that people like to follow.

Yeah, accessibility would f***ing suck.Nah, they're cheap sports that everyone knows about.
Golf is effin expensive to play, and it has a good following. Hockey should follow in its footsteps if it wants to appeal to a greater audience...Yeah, accessibility would f***ing suck.
You mean, make it so you can walk around in shoes, or alternatively drive a little car, while you leisurely play a quick round of hockey with your buds and feel good about your social status (which is why there's so much overlap)?Golf is effin expensive to play, and it has a good following.

I mean Anaheim has to get good at some point. May as well buy low on someone like Laine and see if it pans out.Portzline on the upcoming Laine trade: Anaheim or Carolina, with Montreal an outside shot.
I'm not sure what Verbeek is doing
I think for Ken is alluding to the fact that players that don't get targeted by a trash human being, still end up getting CTE and suffering from it. I think it can be a case where the repeated lesser blows to the noggin end up having a higher cumulative effect than a possible big bad hit. Concussions are weird. You can't eliminate it all together but he thinks by giving out 2 PIMs for all head contact you could significantly reduce it.So we're going to start punishing tall players now with that rule?
