Ice Jerseys is having a two-day sale on jersey customization, $10 on any jersey they sell. This is important because 1, they do high quality tackle twill stuff, 2, it includes the vintage line, and 3, they have no limits on retired or traded players (although your FUCCBOI 69 jersey is probably a no-go).

Thirding the Icejerseys rep. They do real good stuff, I've bought two jerseys from them and they're great.

Just make it an even 20. Then the person will feel no need to tip the beer person, and give all the money to us.

Yeah and you want them to be 'my boys from our city' and not 'profitable employee for megacorp.' The players should belong to you, not Rogers.

The Athletic has been seriously aggressive with expansion and hiring some pretty prominent writers. Do they have some big corporate backer I'm unaware of, because there's no way they're profitable at the moment.

THN has its annual Front Office Confidence Poll out, so Red Wings fans you can vent your wrath by giving Holland straight 1s.

The few free articles I've read at The Athletic featured good analyses. Hard to justify more subscription fees on my budget (especially in a world saturated with 'free' sports writing), but I admire that their content is probably worth paying for.

That's an entirely reasonable contract, which keeps a good player on a bad team.

should have let it go to arbitration, one year deal, then trade him. but because holland is in charge, they're rebuilding but not really rebuilding. like, what team says they're "rebuilding" then loads their roster up with more lovely contracts. and what team that's "rebuilding" says their stated goal is to just make the playoffs.

i dont know if that contract is fair or not. (it's probably an overpayment but honestly it's irrelevant.) what i do know is tatar is one of the very few tradable assets they have left. by the time that contract is up he'll be 30, worthless in terms of trade value, and the wings will still suck.
