Cant we get the arabs to target that one?
Bettman is the voice for 31 owners. That’s it. Blame them, not him. As an asside how long has he had Parkinson’s?

Well, this should put me in the minority, but I like the All Star format.

They have done the best they can with the format given (relating to the all star game being a skill showcase). The Skills competition is hokey, but the 3-3 games are entertaining in the way that we are now seeing skill on display.

I liked The bat in attempt (Tkchuck) and Peteys spinner try. But what I liked the most, was the communication with the announcer, Bxa, and the coaches (Hull and Gretz).. the banter was funny and the stories were good. The use of technology to have them all chatting and chirping Made the overall product better when the game itself was lacking a little intensity. They need to get some more 'characters' on that chatter. Get Biznasty, JR and Bxa types into more verbal spots on the broadcast.
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.

Is BC the only province/state/country where overpaid scrubs come from? I can think of of some grossly overpaid guys playing for the Canucks organization from Switzerland, Sweden, NY State, Calgary, Alberta...

He always was going to be as soon as he inked that ridiculous contract.

The Barzal to Seattle saga is looking like it might be in play. Lou is looking to swing for a gaggle of cherry picked expansion draft pieces plus a top 3 pick. They cant afford the 10 mill MB will command this summer

lol that’s ridiculous.... like Eklund bad. Islanders just got a brand new practice facility and will be moving into a new rink. They aren’t turfing their best player who will be what ....23 at the time for a couple of magic beans.
