But is that 5 o'clock Eastern or Pacific?

Sign at Amerks game last night "I hate pretending I like watching football".

So you're saying I should just take the day off and drink? Done.

FWIW, I really don't care. I may as well close my eyes and flick the first switch I touch in the booth.

Some investor with ties to Trump. Give me a minute... Douglas Kass

"source" claims he has divorce papers for the prez that were drawn up but never filed.

IIRC the number was $105,000. Adjusted prolly 150? by now. Just looked TJ's only making 95 in the AHL. For some reason I thought he was making more.

John Davidson hired as President of Columbus Blue Jackets made official today. CBJ can't get a break, Islanders trump the news today.

Nah. Not much laughing for me lately. It hurts.

Funny right there.

Islanders only get on average about 13,000 a game so it fits well. I really set myself up there didn't I.

Don't know about Wang but the Islanders are playing in Brooklyn in 2015.

NY Islanders Owner Charles B. Wang, Barclays Center Majority Owner and Developer Bruce Ratner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Islanders General Manager Garth Snow, and Barclays Center and Brooklyn Nets CEO Brett Yormark all gathering for a meeting today to make a "major announcement". Hmmmm. Hello Brooklyn?

Mair was hired as Director of Player Development for Canisius college hockey team http://www.gogriffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=205717958&DB_OEM_ID=20500 Good for him.

So, last week Tuesday the NHL makes an offer to the players. Wednesday they make it public. Also last Wednesday Bettman tells the GM's that they should talk to their players. They have 48 hours to do so. Bettman carefully words his memo so as not to come across as unfair labor practices. So the owners and GM's face big fines if the go public with anything but they can talk to the players? The NHLPA doesn't find out about it (or at least doesn't say it publicly) until yesterday. Today the NHLPA requested a meeting and the NHL flatly said no. Seems to me the NHL is more interested in busting up the union than making a deal.

I don't think the "wayness" of his contract has anything to do with waivers.

That would be reentry waivers. One of the things the new CBA is looking to get rid of.

I asked nobody answered. You're all too worried about who's going to be president to think about hockey.

Tonight at 7PM on MSG they are going to show the statue unveiling. Followed by the May Day game at 8pm

Do you care? You said to ask.

Fehr letter to players outlining offers: http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/19875/donald-fehrs-latest-letter-to-players

"League announces cancellation of more games" No sh!t Sherlock. They said the earliest start would be Nov 2nd. 135 games total to be "made up"

Basically the players salaries go down by 13%. That 13% is given back to the players by taking it out of the players 50% cut.
