Why is causing this " nonsense " to happen in the first place ???? It started being a problem about a month ago whenever I would try to C & P something.

It's been happening to me for months. I have to manually go in and fix all of the errors if I copy/paste anything.

And I saw on NHL Network the Flames and the city of Calgary are at a stalemate, and the Flames are no longer pursuing a new arena.

Way too soon, but you have to wonder if Seattle is following that closely.

There is no way that the Flames will relocate from Calgary. The city will give in to any blackmail and provide massive amounts of corporate welfare, just as the city of Edmonton did.

OV isn't playing in the Olympics.

 

[Pia8988]

Figured if anyone would go he would be the one.

"I see the news this week and I am very disappointed that IOC, IIHF and NHL put me and all NHL players in this position when some of the best players in world do not have chance to play in the Olympic Games."

Also not surprised that any player refuses to acknowledge they could have gone just by agreeing to extend the CBA. Instead it is everyone else's fault.

Exactly.
If they want it that bad , bargain for it.

Flames and the City doing the dance. Would suggest it is a rather remote possibility at best for a move. Detailed steps to the dance below. Seattle will get something at some point. Guessing relocation versus a new franchise as the better likelihood.

agreed, there`s a few franchises prime for the move

Have you all seen Duchene at the Avs camp? Tell me how you really feel...

Really not sure what to think. What Sakic did was pretty ******, and he should have been traded, but come on... Grow up. How much money are you making a day? I guess it's a tactic to be as much of a distraction as possible.

I wish all teams would do this.

Why should the players continue to give in to the NHL?

Colorado is a disaster. Sakic is worse than Cam in management. I'd not want to waste my career away there either if I were a top tier talent other teams desire. Sakic is the one who wanted Carlo + for Landeskog, no?

The look on his face is the same look I have at work pretty much everyday now.

I`d rather an experienced manager as Prez of the B`s myself but the biggest issue is IMO, Sakic seems to be THE man when it comes to all personnel decisions there where Cam has Sweeney who I "think" he allows autonomy while obviously piping in on various players??

Really? You are getting all that knowledge of his motivations, desires and actions from a single photo?

I think most people here like Neely there so they have someone to shift blame to when Sweeney does something that they don't 100% agree with.

Good moves=Sweeney
Bad moves= Neely, Jacobs and mix in Siden every now and then

I do agree.

It looks like a proof of life hostage photo.

Hmm, there's seems to be A little something missing...

he seems genuinely enthused to be posing still wearing that uniform

Milehigh Hockey report suggest the A has been removed. Terrible situation all way round.

"Did the Avalanche strip Matt Duchene of his ‘A’?"

"It looks like the Avs don’t plan on having Matt Duchene serve as an assistant captain this year."

That's how collective bargaining works. You want something, you offer something else. They offered nothing and got nothing.

Why should all players bargain for this when only a few benefit? Every team benefits from the international exposure to these stars.

Owners clearly disagree. It is something players want, they have to bargain for it. It is their job to convince the others. The players not going also get a nice multi week break in the middle of the season.

To be fair, that's probably the same look all the Avs players have while posing in that uniform

I don't think that's a fun place to be right now.
