Around the league - stuff concerning other teams.
Permalink  
 

Holy ****, I kinda got my wish! Ducks lost and Vegas (my boss' team) hit with ****ing sanctions!

Loss of 2R 2026 pick and $100k fine for Torts for "flagrant" violation of league's media policy.

I did a double take because I was like, wait, they won, why did they ban the media.

 

edit: And in a weird twist, the first comment thread on the reddit post I found to read more...mentions Kyle Beach. As well as "If only they took player safety this seriously" re: the loss of the pick. blankstare

I was sound asleep before the handshake line so I didn't realize anything crazy went down.

The vodka option is still on the table but will also be channeling my anger into something better...going to pledge $5 for every goal scored against the Ducks in round 2, and doubling the total if they get eliminated, with the money going to 1in6.org and malesurvivor.org.

To UTA/VGK...light 'em up.

May be a petty reason to donate, but the money went to a good place. 

 

 not petty at all.

I think that goal deserves more than $5 to charity.

 holy cow. can you imagine even considering trying that move?

 Things like that make me believe in years of muscle memory + instinct. I simply can't believe that was a conscious thought to try that.

I checked in on MIN-COL last night early in the 2nd, saw it was 3-0 MIN and decided, "Okay, this ain't ending tonight, I'll keep playing around with AI." (see my other post about why I'm doing that)

Oops.

Really shouldn't take things for granted in the playoffs.

 I watched the last 10 minuets of the game and OT last night. More excitement in those last 10 minuets than in the whole Sens/Hurricanes series.

 Wouldn't be too hard.

As fun as that would be...can we just stop recycling coaches who are crappy human beings?

I haven't been watching much, but have it on in the background today while doing some computer work.

 same

 I’m watching and unfortunately Montreal looks really good, Carolina is a wagon and Sens didn’t stand a chance vs that juggernaut. Wild v Avs will decide the West

Vancouver interviewed Pierre Dorion for their vacant GM position, Aquilini family who own the Canucks are just as self aware and clueless as the guy who previously employed that guy.

 Dorion was just a scout who was in way over his head as a GM, thanks to the Senators' tendency to always hire the cheapest guy possible. 

 good point!!  It now seems they have moved on from him and I think they scared the fans and people that cover the team so much that no matter who they pick now it will be a relief. It will be at least the clueless owners didn’t hire Dorion 

 aaahhhh, the old bait and switch. clever bastards.

Chakya??? In Toronto??? only the most scrutinized franchise in hockey and they hire him??? Great for Ottawa but it’s as asinine as Dorian getting another sniff at a front office job in the NHL.
You gotta hand it to Canadian NHL clubs and their commitment to recycling Trash

 maybe its because they tried hiring qualified people and as always, they failed miserably. So, lets try the other way. 

 I hadn’t thought of that. Let’s try hiring certified idiots and see what happens. I truly thought neither one of those guys could ever get a job as GM again but you can never underestimate the stupidity of the Leafs and Canucks ownership groups

 seriously! Who would give someone who's completely incompetent a second chance?

 I didn’t answer because that’s a complete rhetorical question…..I’m just glad it was the Laffs/Yard Waste
