I don't want Hall and that $6 million hit. I don't think he wants to be here either. It's telling he was happiest in Boston and their rabble.
Boston might take him back if they can squeeze his cap hit in. If they don't start to turn it around quickly they will be grabbing at untying they think might help.

Not sure where to put this but this looked like a fun thing to attend!

We play them on 11/23 and 11/30.
It sucks that my Caps fan nephew won’t get to see him in the home game but I’m not exactly personally bummed if he misses those games lol.
It’s crazy how on fire he’s been, 20 points with 13 goals in his last 11 GP. That’s with a 31.0% SH% in those 11 games but only 1 empty net goal (and point).

I hate to say that this injury was "fortunately timed" but it does help if Ovi isn't in the lineup against us. It's more satisfying to beat a team at full strength, though.
Oilers claim Kapanen from the Blues, I like to think as "revenge" for the offer sheets.
The whole injury is an attempt to make sure that when he breaks the record, it will be against US... Next year.
I hope he's ok. It's not player assistance I guess?

You know what, I'd be on board with it. Only player in the league I don't mind being scored on by. Well, I mind it, but I'm not nearly as angry, "You dick......happy to help though."
Like someone cutting you off in traffic and waving thank you.
Now that Ovi seems to have discovered avocados I'm sure he will be back sooner than later, because we all know that as you approach 40 your body heals much faster than it did at 25 and you routinely enjoy a career year once you hit 39.

Personal struggles lead to Canucks' J.T. Miller taking indefinite leave of absence
The Vancouver Canucks centre has been trying to play through an injury but apparently the emotional weight of it all has overwhelmed him.

Chill out at home, smoke some weed (they don't test for that anymore, right?), pet whatever pets he has... I hear he likes to hunt, so do some of that. We've all been like this before, it gets better.Not according to this report.

Is it a mental health issue or is he just frustrated with a lingering injury that he can play with but it's difficult? The Canucks are in a playoff spot so they aren't struggling. Hopefully he works it out whatever it is.

That's the tricky thing about claiming mental health, it's a catch-all term, and sometimes people misuse it.
Regardless, I have a soft spot for the Canucks, so I hope whatever's up with him gets fixed.
I'll be honest, if I made what he's making and found out that in Vancouver that barely paid for a two bedroom condo I'd be despondent as well. Then throw in having to deal with those fans and I'd want to take a long mental health break too.

You guys think it’s just a coincidence that McBain rhymes with Ukraine? Are you paying attention yet?

He'll get another one really quick. I wonder if Chicago pulls the trigger on Richardson soon. Detroit is another that I wonder how short Lalonde's leash is at this point.
