4 year extension of the CBA today, with the announcement of an expanded 84 game season. In a world where pretty much everyone agrees the season is already too long, this makes perfect sense. 


Two less preseason games, and I think it helps the scheduling math to guarantee home/away games between all 32 teams.  I'm surprised it took that long to get to this.

I'm okay with this as long as it doesn't lead to the 'loaf management' crap the NBA is known for.


 yes, i was originally unaware of the 2 less preseason games. Thats good.

"The Dallas Stars have re-signed forward Matt Duchene on a four-year, $18 million contract."

tj breathes a sigh of relief. 


 The Vancouver Canucks really wanted him, there are no first or second line centers left on the free agency market. And for sure I did not want him on the Senators as you already guessed 🤣

 those penalties aren't much of an incentive to stay below the cap. What the hell do the laffs care about $600,000?

Would have been funny if after all they they came back and said that the play was offside.

What the hell, they're pulling out the carpet and doing the ceremony in the middle of the game?!


 I heard they would have a 7 minute ceremony.


 I posted that 6 minutes ago, no way this is over in 60 seconds. Maybe the *actual* ceremony part is 7 but setup and teardown, this is gonna be a full intermission at least. And then are they supposed to go back out cold? I would be perturbed if I was the other team and this was a game that mattered.


 Puck drop!


 So about 23 minutes from your "my bad" post

It would be hilarious if Ovi stalls at 894 until the last few games of the season and Wayne has to be dragged around the continent to be there when it happens.


My bad, lol


Does your name get in the record books with an assist?

The Caps and Canes don't appear to like each other very much.
