What isn't smart is placing a franchise in Vegas in the first place. Bettman is crook. If you bet, you can bet getting the NHL into Vegas was a dream of his before he ever became commissioner.
Nah. Vegas is fine as a franchise location. But was very important that hockey beat the big leagues NFL/MLB there first.
People are asking about why someone might dislike Staples. I was just giving my opinion, chill lol.
I edited my original post a little. Vegas is not a fine location for a sporting franchise because of its constitution. The man in charge is not a fine commissioner because of his nature.
Bettman's job is maximizing profit for his big business cartel bosses. He's been very, very good at that. All that follows are secondary considerations and his legacy is certainly flawed. But this sports entertainment is ultimately about the Benjamins.
You make some great points but in my opinion only scratching the surface.
You know now a days there is live betting on litterally everything???
But McTavish killed someone while driving drunk...We don't believe that people can change and learn from their mistakes to become better citizens or a positive influence. Do we?
When your takes are factually incorrect- they are bad. When you use OPINIONS of others a source of your reporting - you're a bad journalist. Staples, in particular, is like he failed grade 10 English, Social, Science- etc. Forget his takes- he just doesn't know how to write a fact based article
Have you found a journal, or news show that hasnt degraded to opinion. I find they are all about the same.
Not sure why you think it's a good idea to bring this up again. Just for clarity- McTavish served jail time. It also happened when drunk driving wasn't considered "bad" as it is now. Covering up sexual assault would have been normal then too.
Yes. There are many. We live in a time where we can instantly fact check.
I don't really see them as comparable. Faber is getting paid based on projection while Bouchard is getting paid for what he's already proved.
Lol what kind of reasoning is this Bouchard's already an 80 plus point getter and ppg playoff guy because he proved that he should get comparable pay to a guy you hope gets to that level.
Too many identify Faber as a sure thing. I'm not certain that contract was a good bet. I've watched the player and think he's a good young defenseman but I've thought that about lots of young players that proceeded to end up not necessarily spectacular and overpaid.
Faber does everything well and he is 22. When Brodin and Spurgeon were out and the Wild were missing forwards he was their best player and sometimes playing over 30 mins. He will never lead the league in points as a defenseman but he is good in all areas. Nurse cashed in after a giant offensive season playing some PP time and playing 3 on 3 OT with McDavid and Drai. That was very bad timing as that is when the Salary Cap stopped moving.
Leader of the Faber fan club on the prowl tonight.
How am I the leader of the Faber fan club? This is probably my 1st ever post about him, if not its less than 3.
I wouldn't give him a second chance if this happened in 2024, drunk driving is inexcusable.
It is stupid, but young people making stupid choices is definitely neither new or in the past only. Some are fortunate enough to not have it impact their life while others die or ruin their lives because of it.
Good point, you've put it into better words than me.
