If you were a hot dog and you were starving..would you eat yourself?

Are we talking Ball Parks or a bargain brand? Eating yourself as one of those bargain brands may cause death or dismemberment.

I cannot answer until Macramello offers his legal opinion on self cannibalizing.

He has binders full of hot dogs.

The one he got in the 2013 playoffs against Chicago pretty much changed things as far as I'm concerned. He just didn't look the same the next season.

Actually, he started off that season really well. Two Months in he was tied for the team lead in points on Dec. 11, 2013 after a 2-point night in Toronto (27 points in 32 games). Then he didn't score another point for 8 games...scored 14 more POINTS in the remaining 50 games. Amazingly he had 10 points in 26 playoff games, but by that time he was getting 4th line minutes.

It was poorly tweeted, as they meant Thursday, September 10, 2015.

This is today y'all


Thanks to Face Wash (and his amazing cleaning power without drying my skin) for the heads up

LOL completely forgot all about it.

Probably just an initial hearing as in the USA the court accepts a plea and a trial date is set.

Then again, maybe a plea deal is in the works and Richards would tell the judge let's get it over with today. We'll see. Should be interesting.

Weinstein's appearance on behalf of Richards took approx. 1 minute. He said there is still "initial disclosure" to be provided by Crown

What exactly is 'initial disclosure'? Does that mean his lawyers are waiting for the RCMP to provide information/paperwork???

 

[417th]

Good questions dee.

So now it is postponed to 12/8 and then it will be to enter a plea. This could take until next offseason just to make it through the courts.

My guess is they are still waiting for all the test results.

But doesn't Face Wash have those little plastic beads that aren't good for the environment?

Meanwhile his contract has been terminated. Can he play in the U.S. while this case is ongoing? Any immigration attorneys out there?

I see no reason for the NHL to change his current free agent status. Not sure how this impacts the abritration hearing.

Yes. As in the USA, both sides are entitled to "disclosure." ("Discovery" are documents and evidence that is part of "disclosure.")

The assumption that test results have not been provided to defense is probably a correct one. That's probably what they are waiting for, and December 8 was the earliest court date available and they figured whatever needed to be turned over to the defense would be accomplished at that time.

Disclosure 101 lesson completed.

This guy is not an immigration attorney but he can play one, since he doesn't mind playing a sports/contract attorney most of the time in Forbes. (He is actually a trademark attorney. Go figure.)

That would be perfectly fine, delay any threat of his full cap hit coming back until the off-season, then pursue a regular buyout, if necessary.

At that point, I wonder if Dean would argue a buyout should only be 9 years as they would have paid a $1.32M penalty this year.

Don't worry I am sure the guy with the tin foil hat will be here any minute to tell us how the CBA trumps U.S. immigration policy and law.

The grievance arbitration doesn't have to wait until Richard's legal case is resolved.

They sure seem to be taking their sweet time then, would think it has some impact.
