shrader Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Guerin beat out the likes of Waddell and Chiarelli. As Homer Simpson put it, the two sweetest words in the english language: de-fault! de-fault! de-fault! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't deny an AGM going for a GM job. Only lateral movement they can block. But a promotion to another team they can't. Or something like that ?

If the NHL punished players for the booger sugar they wouldn't be able to field a league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is gray area for the NHL, apparently they test for it, but it's not a suspendible offense? The rule is murky, and as I've stated before, cocaine is very very popular with these guys... not for performance enhancement but as a party drug.

Randall Flagg Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Gotta love Sid the Kid: The story in text: I’ll tell you my favorite Sidney Crosby story, which is in 2016. I went out there - I go to his hockey school every summer, to do a bit with him. So they won the Cup in 16, so he’s got the Stanley Cup and we went to a children’s hospital, which is, you know, pretty emotional. We were done there and Sid said “Well, where else can we go?” I said “well there’s a veteran’s hospital I went to once, around the corner.” So we went, we called over, went over there, and they’ve got - everyone’s kind of in the main meeting room. And someone said “oh, too bad Joe’s not here. Joe would’ve loved this...Joe would love this.” And someone said “who’s Joe?” and they said he’s a Korean War veteran, but he’s blind and bedridden; he’s upstairs. So I said “Sid, let’s go.” So up we go, and they knock on the door to his room and “Joe, Sidney Crosby’s here with the Stanley Cup.” And Joe says “Oh I’m sorry Sid, I’m a Montreal Canadiens fan.” And Sid says “no problem, who’s your favorite Montreal Canadien?” “And he says Rocket Richard!” So Sid brings the Cup over, and traces his finger over the Rocket’s name engravement. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has been for quite some time.... in the mid to late 90's I knew a couple of girls who were dating some Sabres and the stories... platters piled with it. Of course I'm seeing this posted everywhere now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like giving a baseball starting pitcher a five-game suspension for beaning someone so he misses a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
