You can continue operating with your current oxygen supply then because that isn’t happening.

If it ever did you wouldn't need Zeke's fancy stats any more. The only things that would matter to Bergy would be "h'attitude", "rispeck" and "ka-RACK-ter"

I think the vote will be yes, but the Tempe arena vote is today. wouldn't a "No" be so fun to mock Gary?

I'm sure that the white haired, Trump voting residents of Tempe will be only too happy to get grifted into paying for an arena. The A's managed to work things out with Vegas, after all.

The magic # is no longer "double digits". If you make "10.1" it means your team can't win.
Bobrovsky, Eichel, Barkov only make 10 million on the cap.

And what if your team has not one, not two, but three guys making that number?

No bueno.

It's just pretty funny they change it to '10.1" because 3 players make 10 million. We always heard no one makes it far with a 10 million player. They are really trying extremes to keep this story going.

I think the only way the argument works is in terms of percentage of your cap, not the raw number. A $10 million contract gets more digestible if the cap goes up. If it goes down or stays flat it gets tougher to swallow.

May as well just take the refs off the ice after game 4 of round 1.

the NHL reverts to prison rules in the 2nd round....it's kind of a problem

 

[Habsy]

In prison they'll fuck you up right back. In the NHL they play God.

Remember when I was told this would change this year? Good times.

er, it did change.

Since Barkov, Eichel, and Bobrovsky are all making $10m and in the conference finals....

..... they moved the bar up to $10.1m!

remember when we told you they'd do that?

 

[Habsy]

I can wait.

Carolina - Dallas?

Quite possible.

 

[Habsy]

I think the point being is it really isn't the way to win these things yet.

 

[zeke]

even when that point is belied by a whole wack of $9.5m players winning cups already.

 

[CH1]

It’s a stupid stat

 

[Habsy]

Is it though? I mean stats aside couldn't it point to team construction and cap management?

 

[CH1]

It’s stupid because it’s arbitrary — now it’s 10.1, yesterday it was 10.0, maybe next year it’ll be 11.4. Can’t wait to find out!!!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I think I'm burnt out on hockey for a bit now.

This season was exhausting.
