Around The League 40: As we barrel towards 40 teams

[SlavinAway]

Ah, so it's sounding like he didn't bet on any NHL games. But he himself gave insider information to someone else, who bet on games using that info?

Which isn't illegal but the NHL has to keep their new bookies partners happy.

 

[Borsig]

The NHL said in its release he didn't bet on NHL games.

then what the f*** does it matter?

 

[To Be Determined]

So does his suspension begin after he signs?

That is logical, but i haven't paid close enough attention to anything to see it explicitly stated.

No. Game 1 of the season

So, if the Sens accrue enough cap without signing him for half the season, can they theoretically sign him post-suspension to a decent one year deal and not have to move someone? Where the cap gurus at?

I think this should be the case. Maybe even get a cap rebate!

If the Sens sign him now, his cap hit does not count, so as long as there is room at the time the suspension is over, all should be good.

This is why I’m questioning this, it’s a way for the NHL to allow the Sens to circumvent the Cap and get Pinto under contract prior to 1 December

Apparently … they *don’t* have to sign him by Dec 1 and he can still play this season.

I think Friedman reported that earlier today.

Would you say the nhl is

*puts on sunglasses*

betting on them working something out?


YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

It’s because he’s a 10.2(c) RFA.

Very moving, very moving. Been a long hard day up here. Bruins might make a fan out of me yet.

 

[HisIceness]

Ducks beat the Bruins

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Ducks beat the Bruins

And Pittsburgh beat the Avs, so Vegas remains the only undefeated team left in the season. The way they've played thus far, they're looking like a serious threat to repeat.

Very moving, very moving. Been a long hard day up here. Bruins might make a fan out of me yet.

From an objective pov, the Bruins are a great organization that's run really well, are really closely tied to the community, do genuine work to support the community, and have a ton of great people. But they employ Captain Lickitung, and have a very hatable owner. But their real crime is winning too much. I'd love them if I were a Bostonian, but the good teams inspire hate because that's sports.

FWIW, I still hate the Bruins. As a hockey fan, it's the only correct thing.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

All the Lafreniere hate in the off-season and he has4 goals already

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

They're Ranger fans. This is what they do. Whine and complain.

Also, in regards to the Bruins, Poitras bothers the shit out of me. Not because he isn't good and is probably going to be at least a really good player long-term. No, it's that the f***ing Bruins fanbase lucked out AGAIN. Now they can actually re-tool and be a menace once more in a year or two.

 

[Wolfpuck]

The Oilers are straight ass without McDavid outscoring their defensive and goaltending problems.

Oh yeah, I still get all that. But living here in Lewiston, I may have to give in after all.

Nah, their fans are some of the most egotistical pricks in existence...they're shit-talkers who can give it but not take it

I mean they've been listening to Jack Edwards for decades. At this point, that kind of behavior is by design

You and yours ok? Got to be terrifying. I have a bunch of cousins in that area, but fortunately I think they are all ok.

 

[Stickpucker]

The Flames sure can't blame the taxes in Canada for where they are right now.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Calgary is going to hand Hanifin and Lindholm big money deals to go with the other long term deals that will seal their fate in mediocrity for a long time. Sadly they would be better off if their former GM took the younger players package we offered

Picked up tickets for tonight....looked at Sharks lineup. Christ that forward group might be the worst I've seen in a minute

5-1 loss

more of a boston thing... I know plenty of boston sports fans who don't give a crap about hockey and are the same as bruins fans, or worse

Oh yeah, we were home when the news broke, and haven't left since. Everything's still closed because they haven't caught the guy (I think he's dead in the woods somewhere, fwiw), but that's probably going to change this weekend. Otherwise I'm going to have to drive out of town to the grocery store tomorrow. It's truly shocking to be so close to something like this, and yet still be removed from it because it didn't affect anyone I know.
