A but of a fly in the ointment

I'm kinda used to jumper ads as the AFL has had thenor a long time- though I detest those back panel ads, they're always ugly. If they remain as unintrusive as in the AFL I'll put up with it- though I'd prefer to be able to buy a "clean" jumper

@Puck_Pun By no means do I suggest that the NHL market any one player or two above the rest of the league. They could choose all-stars from each market. I only use McDavid as an egregious example of the NHL not selling an easily marketable player.

 

Ehh, that seems more the responsibility of the team than the league as a whole

Yup. There is a historically great player, in his prime, active in the league right now, and I get that he plays in Canada, but the NHL still does a poor job of even making people aware that he exists.

Is it cynical to think the owners will protest the promotion of individual players by the league because "WhY iS tHe LeAgUe PlAyInG fAvOuRiTeS"? It will be seen as promoting the team the player is in (in this case I'm assuming you mean Edmonton). Personally I'm all for it, but there's the potential for unnecessary bitchiness

I saw that coming. I'd imagine this was owner driven- "revenue is down, we want another ad space"

With this news, what team do you think he'd end up going to? 

I'm sure he'll enjoy it there- good sun, nice golf courses, I'm sure there's some hockey involved

I would agree with this.  I don't think they'll contend, but they should be able to keep games close.  They are almost like a Western Conference version of the NY Islanders.  

I've seen them compared to the islanders everywhere, and I'm never quite sure whether the person means it as a compliment or an insult

They'll probably make the playoffs but won't have a deep run. Probably a round one elimination.

You know your off-ice reputation is terrible when you're nearly a PPG the past season and no GM wants you on their team

Well, apparently he wasn't too conductive to a positive team environment

Because if Edmonton needs anything, it's more big long term contracts

On the other hand, how much money does the team make selling stuff with his name on it? The contact could be worth it on that metric alone

It's true. It's amazing that Podein25 Jr. turned out as normal as she did, especially as I was (am?) a celebrity sheep fukcer!

Tell me more about your trip to New Zealand

Kane has responded. At this point there's a lot of spite firing in both directions and honestly outside of those involved nobody knows what's really going on (and most likely it's a blend of both sides). Once actual evidence starts to emerge I'm seeing this as a broken marriage dying in a mess of spite and retribution. Only in public because of who he is

OK

Ho boy this is messy, huh

...so I take it Anderson is the backup? 

Vegas seems prone to rash decisions based on individual incidents. I wouldn't be surprised if they based this decision on that one bad pass against Montreal

Poor Fleury

This guy's videos are pretty amusing, here's his overview of the Seattle draft

Maybe Mechwarrior 2 memes are a little niche. 

Uh-oh spaghetti-os!
