In a league that had any integrity the officials who blew this call would be fined and suspended along with the offending player.


I dunno. This definitely looks like a situation where the player turned himself into a vulnerable position after the checker already committed to the hit. And from the replay, it looks like Mikkola realizes it at the last second and doesn’t full-on crunch him.

Devil's advocate here, but Mikkola was coming in from the side when he first comes into frame, Krebs receives the puck and immediately turns, he's not fully facing the boards until the moment of contact. You can even see Mik kind of pull-up but in that split second it's too late

Number of articles on web/headlines that Bally's parent preparing for imminent banx. I wonder if that will impact next year's cap?

I think this presents an opportunity for some of the larger media players to step in...if the league can execute a deal.

Hopefully….there is a reason why the large media companies dropped their rights (and sold) to regional sports channels…..they didn’t believe in their future/valuation.

Btw: I believe each team negotiates their rights which makes it difficult for the league to take over.

No reason to assume the teams will get the rights back right away in order to make a deal. They may be protected as assets in the court until a settlement is reached. Could be a long process.

I was thinking that they could creatively package an offering for those looking for a new home. There may be a few known entities who are expanding their offerings in this area that the locals could potentially pair up with who likely could provide a more stable service and platform than what was really offered in the Bally app.

I wish the NHL would just go to a direct streaming model already. f*** the middlemen that don't deliver shit. If you want me to pay $20/mo to see this team or $40/mo to see every team, I'll pay it.
Its really asinine they haven't bolted from this outdated model with streaming available anyway

Dougie was on a bad team with a bad goaltending last year where-as Slavin was on a top 3 team in the NHL with good goaltending.

How do the two compare this year, when both are on good teams?

The old model probably pays better. $1 per cable subscriber in those markets is probably way more then $20 per person willing to pony up to watch the fourth most popular sport in the country.
Yeah, it's clearly paying Bally tons.

Look, NHL, your model is shitty, and it's gonna get shittier. This either/or model of twisting people's arms to pay cable companies or get nothing is obviously in a decaying orbit.

You want to give the $20 subscription away for $0.30 if it's bundled with DisneyPlus or whatever to make up the volume? Fine. But if you don't make the standalone option available, you're leaving money on the table. And for God's sake, get rid of the f***ing blackout nonsense.
