Is this good for the players? I have no idea.

The guy was the Mayor of Boston, and a long time union head. He's not a lawyer and doesn't have any sort of graduate degree. I do not understand why he would leave a cushy cabinet position to head the world's weakest pro sports union, but I guess he has ample experience being spineless and ineffectual having worked in the Biden administration.

Sounds like Mike Gillis is the bridesmaid once again.

The cabinet position has less than 2 years left.

The CBA only has three years left and he's gonna get axed when the players are forced to take a 35% pay cut and grant the right of primae noctis to each team's owner.

There was a play in preseason where Huberdeau took the puck off a pinching d-man and did this nifty spin-o-rama to avoid the guy entirely and create an odd man rush from center ice in... all Sutter saw on that play was a forward shying away from contact in his own zone. Huberdeau grinds now... I mean he's pretty good at it because he's pretty jacked, but that's $10.5 starting next year.

I'm sure McDavid would still probably get 120 points, but he'd be benched for missing assignments... and have Lucic on his wing... again.

probably the single worst part about cheering for the oilers is having to pay attention to Bob stauffer, the single ugliest human being to ever regularly appear on television, to actually understand what is happening with the loving team

seeing him on TV is IMO inarguable proof of sexism because there is no amount of glad-handling/politics/expertise/qualification that would allow a similarly ugly woman on the air. I don't like to make fun of guys but good lord.

it's a surreal experience seeing him do a segment and then switch to Gene Principe yelling at Ukrainian refugees. i love watching them

I don't know who Bob Stauffer is but this article from 2016 is great:

quote:

Basically his scenario had the Edmonton Oilers winning the draft lottery and making a deal with the Arizona Coyotes. It went as such:

To Arizona: 1st overall selection in 2016 (Auston Matthews)
To Edmonton: Dylan Strome, the 7th overall, 18th overall, and 37th overall picks in 2016.

Thankfully Edmonton got Puljujarvi instead of, hypothetically, Dylan Strome, Clayton Keller, Logan Stanley, and Libor Hajek. You know, I think I would've kept Matthews.

quote:

[David] Staples didn’t like it so much saying the following: "It would be next to madness to trade any of the top three picks in this draft unless you’re bringing back a player like P.K. Subban or Erik Karlsson."

Now I'm tittering, imagining the Oilers picking Laine 2nd and then trading him for Subban.

The Canucks had a deal in place in 2016 that if PLD was available at 5, the Canucks would trade that pick to the Habs straight across for PK Subban. Jim Benning was saved from making that deal by the Jackets taking Dubois, he still turned around and used the 5th pick on Olli "collapsed after one bag skate" Juolevi instead of Matt Tkachuk because he watched two world juniors games on TV.

Just two fantastically bad decisions mere minutes apart. What a legend that guy was.

Former NHL player Reid Boucher has been sentenced to four years of probation with one year of suspended jail time, if he successfully completes the probation, in his 2011 sexual assault case Monday, both the now-23-year-old woman at the centre of the case and his lawyer told the Detroit Free Press...

The sentence comes after Boucher pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct against a minor in a Washtenaw County Trial Court on Dec. 13. He was originally being charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct....

The incidents occurred in 2011, when Boucher, then 17, assaulted a 12-year-old girl whose family hosted him as a billet family in Ann Arbor, Mich., when Boucher played for the USA Hockey development program.

"In March of 2011, we spoke to parents of both minors and there were no accusations made, but Boucher was proactively removed from the billet home," a USA Hockey spokesperson told The Athletic. "In March of 2021, we were notified by police of allegations of sexual misconduct and have fully cooperated with their investigation."

A jury on Tuesday found former Vancouver Canucks forward Jake Virtanen not guilty of sexual assault after a week of salacious testimony...

Virtanen was charged in January with sexual assault in connection with an incident in a downtown Vancouver hotel room in September 2017.

He told the court last week that the woman who accused him of assault was an "enthusiastic participant" in the encounter. He said they mutually began kissing and touching while lying in bed and helped each other take their clothes off before having sex.

The 23-year-old woman testified that she repeatedly said "no" and told Virtanen that she did not want to have sex with him before he pinned her to the hotel bed with his body.

Washington Capitals forward Brendan Leipsic is apologizing after a private group chat that included misogynistic comments was leaked on Wednesday...

In one instance of messaging in the group chat, Leipsic posted a photo of a former teammate's wife and wrote "look how fat" she "is lol."

Leipsic also refers to women as pigs and makes light of other women's weights in various other messages.
