Koopa Kid posted:I didn't say anything about contract limits, the league can reject a contract they think the player doesn't intend to honour as that violates the second paragraph of the standard SPC. The mechanism would have been the exact same as for rejecting the Kovalchuk deal, and sure that contract was extreme but everyone knew what was happening with the Luongo, Zetterberg, and Franzen contracts. They absolutely didn't have to approve those deals. But even the nutso Kovalchuk one got appealed by the NHLPA, maybe the Zetterberg and Franzen ones seemed like they might have made it past an arbiter, they only backdive for 2 years and a million bucks is still a lot of money. Chris Chelios was still an active NHL-ish player! With 20/20 hindsight yeah, they should have drawn a line sooner (probably with the Hossa contract) but I could see them kinda not being sure what limits they could get away with setting.

Nashville is changing up their broadcast team. Stu Grimson is out as TV color guy, replaced by Chris Mason, and good ol Hal Gill is taking over radio color.

Zat posted:So the KHL season started, and Preds prospect Eeli Tolvanen scored a hat trick in his first professional game, all of them beauties. It would be rad if he turned into a good NHLer as the 30th pick. I think his draft stock fell some because he got his admission to BC rescinded for academic reasons.

Hand Knit posted:Which playoff series did actually break teams? The 2011 SCF seems like the obvious first choice, but what else? Maybe Leafs-Bruins 2013 but I don't know if the 2013 Leafs counted as not-broken to begin with. 2014 Avs making the playoffs at all tricked them into thinking they were good and Roy was a good coach.

Remember when the NHL was going to stop allowing players to tuck their jerseys and edit: Semin got a penalty in the pre-season for it and then basically nobody ever said anything about it again.

xzzy posted:Two inches on or offside is such a minor factor in the game it should never be reviewable. Let the refs call it as they see it and move on with life because if you get scored on I guarantee the fuckup was somewhere else on the ice and you just looking for excuses. Yeah, this. If you can't make a decision without watching a video for 10 minutes, it was close enough. Just keep out the obvious ones like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7pN56VZOfM I guess the 2 min penalty might be good at discouraging the close ones but man, with that on the line the officials are going to take extra long on any that do get challenged. Also, Parros seems like a smart guy.

Man, I remember him being pretty decent in NHL 2003 or something and then being kind of excited when he got traded to Nashville in 2008.
