I'm heading up to your neck of the woods tomorrow (to Alix). Visiting an old friend of mine up there.

Pop into the Whistle stop cafe on hwy 21 in Mirror
..10 minutes away from Alix . It's the geographical center of the Canadian far right wing movement. Dude is like the Canadian Ted Nugent

Sound's like it's a place that Chef should visit - . I'll check it out if I have time.

Well, I'm not that far from Alix - it's less than an hour's drive from here, so the weather is about the same. Secondly, it is winter so it isn't exactly shorts and T-shirt weather here in Alberta. As long as it's above -20 deg C, I don't find it cold. Also, I won't be there tomorrow night - I'm going up there in the afternoon and it will be a lot warmer than that.

I'm ok with this Swede.

The NHL and NHLPA will discuss the possibility of increasing the salary cap by between $7 million and $9 million for the 2025-26 season, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Hockey Night in Canada's "Saturday Headlines."

The salary cap can rise a maximum of 5% each year under current CBA rules but can increase by a larger margin if agreed upon by both parties. A $95-million to $97-million salary cap would represent an 8% to 10.2% jump.

League revenue has outpaced guardrails put in place as part of the NHL and NHLPA's salary cap agreement during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Friedman.

[Strangelove]

Yuge.

[Strangelove]

I thought they were going to just do the 5% for one more year.

(last year of that 5% thing)

I thought the cap explosion wouldn't happen until the following year.

I did mention the possibility of them negotiating something like this, but called it unlikely.

Even with the huge jump next year, there should be increases every year moving forward.

I mean, as long as there's no bird flu pandemic...

Speaking of which where did Monkey Pox disappear to?



I'm thinking we're solid for at least 4 years Doc.



Oh, and by the way, this ties right into the "State of the Game" conversation that recently died on the vine.

With a $0.71 dollar for revenue.

Empty seats already starting in Vancouver.

Five Games for Reeves

[Meds]

I didn’t think the hit was as obviously dirty as Jeannot on Boeser. But it was a reckless and poorly timed hit. Appropriate (and expected) given the history of the player. I would have been OK with 3 games.

The extra 2 games are to satisfy the BLM crowd…
