mcdavid and barzal is a lethal combo

Musk is really ruining Twitter.

Before anyone gets fooled, it's a fake account that bought a checkmark.

The victim's dad?

Miller’s

You probably don’t want to look at his dad’s Twitter account.

I was going to say. That guy was raised by some bad people. Doesn’t even come close to being a excuse for that garbage he did. To have that much hatred in your heart. just another reason why I have no hope for society anymore.

That's Chuck trying to figure out what year our next available 2nd round pick is in so that he can package it with a 3rd to get him.

On the Winnipeg and Coyotes situations, both now and in the past, Bettman is the ultimate bull shitter. He’s refused to see that AZ and successful hockey is a never going to happen thing. If he had the NHL work things out better with Winnipeg, that situation would be on firmer ground.

Olen Zellweger is though...well next season.

Olen and Morrow (who'd he go to again?) right there for the taking, and Chicago and Montreal take that pervert and Nolan Allan. A+ HockeyGuying. Both GMs get fired soon after. At least then Montreal took Hutson and Chicago took Korchinski and Nazar. And yet here we are.

Kind of hard to take players when you’ve blown your draft choices.

 

[Rebels57]

Miller’s

Oof I can only imagine

 

[Flyerfan4life]

He’s right handed!

has he been to Minn. ?

 

[tictactoe]

Ovie with monster check.

My fantasy luck may have turned around, finally.

Opted to start Knight over Raanta, mostly because I wanted the saves and figured Carolina would probably outshoot Florida. Knight bagged me a 40 save shutout.

Good.

That shit is so scary every single time


Almost like a pressurized tube filled with blood was sliced open or something

Pesky Blood tubes

Was offside but the torts reference lol

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am wrong, but doesn't Gary Bettman or a crony have to approve every contract in the NHL? Because if so it seems wack to me that he would approve the Miller contract and then say he can't play in the NHL the very next day.

Or maybe I'm just thinking Gary is involved because of how much he was all over the Kovalchuk contract a while back.

My guess is that there's a presumption that certain protocols are followed by team offices and that the announcement was made before the league had "officially" reviewed it.

It's probably just a "trend" that had built up before a real issue occurred that necessitated the league office to act.

It's basically, "XYZ have dutifully done their work for years now, I'll just sign off on it because there hasn't been an issue for years."

A franchise can sign any contract they want, but the league then has to approve it after that signing. If the NHL doesn't approve it, it doesn't void the contract. Right now Logan Mailloux is also not eligible to play in the NHL despite being in the Canadiens' system.

It's like I can buy any car that I want. Just because I have bought it doesn't make it automatically street legal. The government and its rules determine that. If my new car isn't deemed street legal, I haven't automatically un-bought my car.

That's where the Bruins are now. They have a player the NHL has deemed ineligible but he's still under contract with the Bruins. Right now they're trying to un-buy him, but undoing a contract isn't as simple as saying "Sorry, changed our mind".

Whatever money the Bruins are forced to give Miller, they should double it for Isiah M-C

Young people 30 and under recently came out in droves during a successful attempt to (curtail) hatred and bigotry. Don't lose hope.
