Calgary's owner is notoriously cheap with payroll in terms of giving out term and big money.
To some extent I can't believe they didn't at least run Sutter out one more year to cut into that cost of now paying him and another coach. The exit interviews must have been horrible RE his continuing as coach.

The NYR advancing might be the only thing keeping Bettman from jumping out of a window.

Devils might be my favourite team left now so I guarantee they'll lose tonight
That’s not how sports books work. If someone laid that much money on Florida sports books would have just made the Bruins odds more attractive to get more action. Sports books work their odds to get equal action on both sides so they make money no matter who wins. It is all about house advantage. Payoff odds are just short pays on true/perceived odds.
Yeah, I know, I was just being facetious
More seriously, I assume the government will eventually step-in and regulate these ads a bit more.
Fourth line extraordinaire Mikey McLeod opens it up for the Devils!
Sorry. There is just a lot of misinformation about how the gambling industry works. Earlier in my career I was an educator to those who operated and worked in the gambling industry in Manitoba. I’m as annoyed as anyone about gambling adds as the are designed to fuel problem gambling by continually offering chances to chase lost money in game. At this point I wouldn’t be looking for government to step in as they are the main beneficiaries of the gambling industry in Canada.Yeah, I know, I was just being facetious

It's been different here, more insidious.
In Calgary, the players made it impossible to not fire the coach--they hated him, and likely had their agents on board. There was no choice for senior management.
In Winnipeg, most of the players liked Maurice and Bowness, but the team leaders passively-aggressively refused to be coached. That meant senior management had a choice--act boldly or put the blinders on and hope it all went away.
You saw how bold Chevy is yesterday.
I love how New Joy-zee plays. Just a fabulous infusion of skill and hard work. They're a lot of fun to watch.

Sadly or happily depending on your perspective but gambling is very lucrative for the government. They refer to it as gaming not gambling because there is no risk to them. If it is operating well which it is, there is only Guaranteed profits for them.
Well.we shall see of those leaders are still here come September. My guess is many aren't
Yup. Love watching them play. Wish we template's that model of play style

A pint of dark matter, please.
Trouba just levels Meier, lots of head contact there. Sure looked like charging. Yechhh.
Beyond head shot or not...that one is a charge to me. Trouba flies off the bench and bee-lines for that hit.
Officiating analyst didn't even talk charge.

Looked like the head was first point of contact with Trouba’s shoulder. Looked like 5 and a game to me.

First contact was to the head that should of been a major

Yeh but he went straight through him. What’s the rule with regards to that? His head was down a bit and he was bent down.
Trouba nearly killed Timo. Meier was hunched over prior to contact so I don't know if he explicitly went after the head. Elbow was in too.
