There are so many little things to iron out. I feel like Im living in bizzaro world where everyone is confident the owners and players actually are working together to figure it out
Everyone has always said the world would have to end for there to be labor peace under Bettman, so it makes sense
Not to be an owner shill, but this is misleading. Yes, the numbers were agreed to. But they were agreed to under a system with escrow in place. Both sides knew going in that money would be taken off the top and be paid out dependent on revenue. now whether or not more things should be considered HRR, I’m completely on the side of the players. But stop acting like it’s a travesty of justice that you lose money to escrow every year. Renegotiate that shit
Means that Kaprizov will likely just sign with the KHL for another year and the Wild will be waiting until 2021-22 for him. Fantastic.
you guys are the only team I would be happy for if you win the second lottery because of shit like this
Yzerman mentioned wanting to get camps with other teams for the non playoff teams since players could go six months between games.
good joke asshole but seriously, what happens if Edmonton makes it to the scf? That seems like a disaster waiting to happen. I imagine they would move it to Toronto.
No fans, the only advantage is that they are most used to the locker room/rink? Its not like they will be able to go home and frolic with their families, right? The bubble is the bubble, right?
i know all of that but that city will be a mess if it happens, that’s what I meant You could argue that the city will be a mess if it happens even if they played on the moon. So maybe I am making too much of this
Salt of the earth guy. Went to college with Dan for two years and while we’ve lost touch I feel awful for him. Seems like he’s in a dark place.
yeah seems very deep. It seems like a break up with his ex wife and she’s got the kid. And he went super deep there
Apparently this kid is not his ex-wife’s but that he’s also not together with this woman either any longer.
Ribeiro gave a few minutes to a podcast here, kind of like spittin chiclets. that guy is something else. I never played against him. I was on the bench the only time we played him but his hands were absolutely ridiculous. He played 1000 games in the nhl and he never did anything to help himself as a player. He just showed up. Incredible talent
I will give you guys cliffs he loved Dallas the most, still in Nashville because his kids are still in school. would’ve stayed in mtl forever but they did not want him because he was going out too much(chez parée). After dallas or during he had to go in rehab and he had to sign a contract with the nhl to get tested every two days. Once Nashville sent him in the minors (Because he refuses to play on the pp in front of the net ) he said fuck it I am taking a year or two to party and do whatever the hell i want. My personal opinion on Ribeiro is easy to see, the guy was an absolute beast. Just never right in his head. The guy never lifted a plate or go on a 5 miles run. And he got 40 millions as a hockey player. Hope he is doing good. I don’t want to put Champ on the spot but I bet he would have some stories on the guy.
« No I am not going in front of the net when Weber is shooting the puck » mike Ribeiro that’s what killed his good relationship with poile and laviolette.
Story says an early October SCF (spoiler: it won’t happen) But let’s pretend they somehow complete the season. What’s the schedule look like? 10/23 - 10/24 Draft (I would do the entire draft on Friday but since there won’t likely be football at that point, you can really do it over two days still. 11/1 - FA 11/30 - Camp begins 1/1 - Season begins
Play January - May. No all star break, no bye weeks. Probably have to schedule longer trips with more games, but the players want all the money they can get. You’re basically looking at 82 games in 150-160 days. Sounds awful but like I said, players wants that HRR.
