Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[Habsy]

But there isn't parity in the standings.

Sure there is, it's just in echelons. Easy to manipulate.

 

[Habsy]

Ie. Bruins Leafs officiated the same as SJ Habs but not Bruins SJ.

They create Parity within the tiered teams.

24 of 32 teams are 0.500 or better with 3 more within 2 games of it.

When you have 89% of the teams "competing"? It's being propped up for fan bases to stay interested.

You obviously can't have all teams above 0.600

I don't know what you all consider parity but that's parity.

 

[Habsy]

would a dimwitted & nonsensical response suffice if it was delivered in an angry enough tone and got a bunch of likes?

Define parity because rn I'm gleening parody.

 

[Habsy]

Grillons, comme d'habitude.

 

[zeke]

Bettman is on record many times talking about how important it is for the league

is this actually true tho

 

[zeke]

Not for lack of trying, that's for sure

a cap actually punishes badly managed teams more than no cap does.

 

[MindzEye]

is this actually true tho

Yes

 

[zeke]

Yes

is it tho

 

[MindzEye]

a cap actually punishes badly managed teams more than no cap does.

There is nothing worse than a poorly managed team whose competitors can spend 10's of millions more than they can.

Those teams fold without the existence of huge national TV contracts, extensive revenue sharing, etc, etc.

 

[Habsy]

Still waiting for facts. And a definition of parity.

 

[MindzEye]

is it tho

Still yes

 

[Habsy]

Lame. People get zeked then clam up

 

[worm]

Still waiting for facts. And a definition of parity.

Are you tho

 

[zeke]

Still yes

So no, then.

 

[MindzEye]

So no, then.

Definitely still yes

 

[Habsy]

Are you tho

Yes. Because people like to post snark then run like betas.

 

[zeke]

Definitely still yes

I'm hearing no.

 

[MindzEye]

I'm hearing no.

Stop talking to Jonas and you'll stop hearing nonsense.

 

[Habsy]

He doesn't have anything to back up his assertions. He's on a jolly troll ride.

 

[CH1]

Lame. People get zeked then clam up

I got zeked one time

Made some stew for dinner.

Felt like myself in no time.
