I mean the plea deal was pretty much that. But the sad thing is that given the way the justice system seems to work he has a chance of getting less than the 35 years offered. His defense team hasn't really done anything yet. As they've said they will try to get some evidence and some of the indictments tossed. Once that stuff is figured out I suspect an improved offer will come his way if the defense is successful and if they aren't well he's a 44 year old alcoholic (presumably) so 35 years is pretty much the same as 90. He doesn't have much to lose in seeing if the deal can get better.
I'm always curious why people seem to feel attendance is so important for these things.I mentioned I was going to be at the Capitals' home game vs. Edmonton in February. I checked the Caps' schedule -- it's 17 games from now.
And now, with the torrid pace Ovechkin is on (albeit an almost assuredly unsustainable one), I'm feeling like his injury might genuinely have prevented me from being in attendance for either the record-tying or record-breaking goal.
Pretty much this as 35 years isn't much of a deal in a vacuum.
Probably nothing tbh
I just happen to be in Washington that week and so I am going to a game in a new place – don't you think it would be cool to see something like that in person? This is an all-time record that no one ever thought would be broken – no question it would have been special to be there, particularly as an out-of-towner who has never been to a game there before.
Looks like the back of Skinners head bounced off the crossbar, he might be in concussion protocol. On a personal level, I hope he’s okay as that didn’t look very good
Vancouver is rapidly losing contact with the top teams in the Western Conference.....short of going on some sort of incredible heater in the last half of the season, it's basically a 'wildcard or bust'.
Depending on who he decides to move, that will also impact the timeline for the team. Plus health of the players. Just a boatload of questions for this season. Yeah, I don't see them getting into the top 3, which isn't a big deal. Can they maintain a WC spot?
Probably a fine. He's also a Dman, who isn't known for rushes. Got by Kulak, but clearly ran out of ice making his move towards the net. Would be considered a hockey play gone wrong. Maybe, if he was a F, they'd view it differently since they are more likely to do that move than a D.
Debrusk has been good for VAN and is on a very reasonable contract. Heinen has some utility, and again, cheap contract. Forbort is whatever.
Whelp, if rumours are to be believed, even Allvin wanted to re-sign Lindholm albeit at a lower cap rate. But even then it would have been disaster.
