Well that's certainly new and different. Wonder if it could be cleaning products used more than equipment per se? The detergents can get pretty gnarly. Or it's fake bullshit to get out of his cap hit.

That lists the price for Authentics at $185 or $265 with nameplate. Which makes me think the Fanatics ones really are cheap Wal-Mart crap.

I thought their might be more jersey pics at shop.nhl.com, so I went there and spotted these Pride shirts with rainbow logos on them. While I'd call it a victory for equality and justice when that poo poo goes mainstream, I can't help but feel like it's a bit premature for a league that hasn't had an out player yet.

Dunno, maybe stuff like this will make it easier for him when it does happen, though. :shrug:

I wonder if Columbus' font isn't finalized yet. The slideshow below seems to have two different fonts- one with tall, thin letters and another which appears to be using the letter font on the shoulder patch logo.

Yes. 4.275m a year until 2021. It's less than his cap hit if he plays, but still a lot of money for a retired player.

I'd imagine a "doctor's note" retirement is something they can not have to be on the hook for. Instead of the Carson Palmer "I retire" fakeout to force the Bengals to trade him.

Why wouldn't this just be another case of LTIR? I mean, it'll complicate the rosters at the start of the year and then they'll essentially get to spend over the cap. But this time, within the rule book.

Pretty much. Everyone else either stayed mostly the same or got worse. Even teams that changed essentially nothing seem to all have a dumbass collar now. Not "toilet seat" bad like the Nike football jerseys (which are fixed this year), but still bad.

That would be fixed with a composite cup.

It could be a sensitivity to isocyanates which a lot of foams in the padding offgas. One bad exposure can sensitize you to the point where a couple ppm can cause rashes or asthma. From the description of the medication, it's could be a steroid of some sort to counteract the symptoms.

The Sabres ditched the silver armpits, which is a definite improvement.

But yeah, mostly lateral or downward moves.

Edit: Now that I think of it, classic jerseys that weren't hosed up in some major way should be chalked up as wins. No piping for the Rangers? Great. The Bleu, Blanc et Rouge did not add magenta? Victory. Blackhawks still have chain stitching and no gradient? Wonderful.

I don't think Hossa would consider retiring if it wasn't extremely serious. He might be slowing down but he still almost hit 30G last year. Still might be convenient for the Hawks, but not in a :tinfoil: kind of way

I like the Sharks version the best I think. The thin little orange stripe is nice. Obviously the Avs is great, and I think I'm on board with Minnesota's off balance red stripe, even if I hate their logo. Honestly a lot of the jerseys are fine but the NHL has some awful logos right now: LA, Dallas, and of course Ottawa.
