Clearly, but was there an actual incident which precipitated this? The examples they showed had no impact on anything, it’s just guys doing the universal hockey thing of getting ready to jump on the ice.

An extremely delayed response to Corey Perry taking Semin's stick away from him on the boards.

Edit: Sorry that should read: a delayed response for lazy bongo player Semin goading innocent good old Canadian boy Perry into taking his stick. :sarcasm:

Seems Boston really messed up trading Ullmark before having a deal worked out with Swayman.

The real interesting thing is the current feud with Spittin Chiclets re: Swayman.

Although Sweeney didn't talk about specifics in his negotiations, he angrily pushed back on what he called "inaccuracies" in reports about his talks with Swayman. In particular, Sweeney railed against a report on the "Spittin' Chiclets" podcast this month that Sweeney had not returned calls from Swayman for three weeks.

"It's been reported we've been incommunicative. That's far from the truth. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anybody in the league where I'd spend three weeks not returning a phone call," he said. "I'm not talking specifics. You're just not going to get them. But I think it's bulls--- that somebody says I wouldn't return a call for three weeks. That's inaccurate."

He also pushed back on a report that the two sides were close to a deal as Bruins camp opened.

"It's 100% inaccurate. [Can I] make it any more pointed than that?" Sweeney said before leaving the podium and ending the news conference.

The last time Chiclets doubled down was the Mike Babcock situation in Columbus, which they ended up being right about, so we’ll see how this goes

I thought Swaymann grew up in Mass a Bruins fan. And then I check and it's Anchorage, Alaska, about as far away from Boston as you can possibly get while still playing hockey in America lol

His helmet has an outline of Alaska on it and Behind the B went with him there for a segment.

Surprisingly, a good number of NHLers are from Alaska. Brandon Dubinsky and Scott Gomez are probably the two most notable. Nate Thompson and Matt Carle are from there as well.

Imagine thinking “It’s 100% inaccurate” is the limit of the English language in a disagreement.

"I hereby state, and mean all that I say, that I never have been and never will be a candidate for President; that if nominated by either party, I should peremptorily decline; and even if unanimously elected I should decline to serve."

Now that guy should be a GM. Maybe of the new Atlanta team.

He’d be the perfect GM to start a total rebuild.

Mostly, the usual suspects are covered in the article. None of our players make the list but...

15. Eric Tulsky, general manager, Carolina Hurricanes​

There had never been an NHL general manager whose prior career achievements include earning a PhD in Chemistry and owning 27 U.S. patents until the Hurricanes promoted Tulsky to replace Don Waddell in June. While Tulsky may not be a true outsider — he had already built up considerable influence on decision-making during 10 years working inside the club’s front office — it stands to reason that he’ll bring a unique approach to the new job. For example, it’s no coincidence that Carolina became the first NHL team in years to lower a player’s cap hit using deferred compensation with extensions signed by Seth Jarvis and Jaccob Slavin this summer. Tulsky takes over the GM duties with Carolina at a crossroads. One of the NHL’s most successful regular-season teams over the past several years, the Hurricanes parted ways with multiple key players during the offseason.
