Bump for hilarity.

That, yesterday, is their equivalent of the Bills comeback game as far as I'm concerned.

It was.

It's not "because playoffs"; it's because Boston. And he's not a normal offender.

Here's the video:

Fair point on the timing of the trade. Kane should have been gone much earlier. But we don't know what was offered. No. It's over.

I can't fairly blame him for trading Kane.

yep

I really want to see that show.

Boston will win it all; I'm done.

Yeah, that's more consistent with my recollection.

??

I wouldn't doubt it.

Oh the arena itself is fine, but the crowd was never into Caps games when I lived there. For that matter, they really weren't into Bullets/Wizards games, either. That's atmosphere to me. What you saw is truly special, though.

Best Amenities: ACC Best Atmosphere: the Aud, maybe the Arena during playoffs. Worst Amenities: Rich and it isn't even close. Worst Atmosphere: MCI Center.

NHL: Aud, Arena, MCI Center, MSG, ACC, Wrigley, Rich. MLB: Olympic, Skydome, Jacobs, Camden, Wrigley, Nationals, Citi. NFL: Rich, M&T, FedEx. NBA: MCI Center.

It's money. The league already committed to adding two more teams this coming year. Plus, they said it was money.

I read this and thought kilograms rather than strikes.

In 2015, there wasn’t a professional women’s hockey league in the United States. Prior to our launch just four years ago, there was never a movement for others to take over women’s hockey, or for any wide-scale league in North America.

They're giving up too early. If their goal is to utterly destroy women's professional hockey, they're on track. Some sports simply don't pay well enough for the athlete to learn a living wage. Frankly, I'd bet it's the majority of sports, and I'm certain that it's so for the vast majority of athletes. Wasn't there some noise just a month or two ago about how A and AA ballplayers have to *gasp* work in the offseason? Do these players realize, when they go see a local band or something, that those musicians also have other jobs? That they can't spend all their time working on their music and practicing their craft? That their gigs don't give them health insurance, either? I'd love for Hillary Knight to earn hundreds of thousands per year playing hockey, but it isn't going to happen, and shutting the door on the NWHL isn't going to increase her chances of doing what she loves even with another job.

Just make it available for first-round picks and let the teams decide.

Reinhart.

A kid just out of college isn't going to turn down a $100K/yr (AHL) or $1M/yr (NHL) job to wait a year.

I can see a deal whereby a first round CHL pick is eligible for the AHL, and in return, the teams get to retain NCAA rights for an extra year following graduation. Two things the NHLPA doesn't care about: CHL and NCAA. If Fox doesn't change his mind, the Rangers were idiots, because apparently they were going to get him in the summer of 2020 anyway.
