Dolfan in NYC Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 A reminder of what a cowardly shit head Gary Bettman is: There's also no more special warm up sweaters. And that's possibly for all theme nights. But the memo was so unclear it makes it seem like if a team has a player who thinks he'll become gay or black or Irish or autistic, by wearing or seeing a special jersey, then you can't have anyone wear them.

RIPPA Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 It was mentioned in the media thread but since it is so specific to hockey - I will mention it here Barry Melrose has Parkinson's disease and is retiring to spend time with his family and focus on his health 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how people whine about "catering to the smallest percentile" when it comes to inclusion, yet they cater to the smallest percentile who get their feelings hurt by *checks notes* seeing a rainbow.

RIPPA Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 There is something very amusing (and NHL-ly) in the Blackhawks playing twice (and possible losing one of their best players to injury) before half the league has played its first game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Detroit dominates Ottawa and Calgary on consecutive nights to move to 5-1 for the season. The Ottawa win is a big one as Ottawa destroyed Detroit twice late last year in such a bad way that it caused Yzerman to give up on the season. Detroit is leading the NHL in scoring with Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin at the top in individual scoring. Their power play is almost 50%.It's amazing what adding DeBrincat has done. A guy with excellent goal-scoring to play next to Larkin and not afraid to shoot the puck. I dunno how good the Wings are but it feels like they've finally - FINALLY - turned the corner into becoming a real team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Great start for the Bruins so far, undefeated. Definitely a more scrappy/gritty team then last year. Having two really good goalies is a cheat code in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Quote The Ottawa Senators will forfeit a first-round draft pick for their role in the July 2021 trade of Evgenii Dadonov to the Golden Knights and the subsequently invalidated March 2022 deal that would have sent Dadonov from Las Vegas to the Ducks. Ottawa will forfeit its first-round draft pick in one of the 2024, 2025 or 2026 NHL drafts. The Senators will make that determination within 24 hours of the conclusion of the draft lottery that season. In March 2022, the Golden Knights traded Dadonov to the Ducks along with a conditional second-round pick for defenseman John Moore and the contract of forward Ryan Kesler. But hours after the trade was announced, Vegas said it had "become aware of an issue with respect to the trade" and was consulting with the league office about it. The issue surrounded Dadonov's limited no-trade clause in his contract, which he signed in October 2020 with the Senators. The clause indicated that Dadonov couldn't be traded without first submitting a 10-team no-trade list. The Ducks were on a previously submitted no-trade list to Ottawa. But when the Golden Knights traded for Dadonov in July 2021, there was no mention of the trade protection on the trade call with the Senators and the NHL. Therefore, it was not acknowledged when Vegas completed the trade with Anaheim. Golden Knights management met with the NHL in 2022 about the situation, seeking some level of discipline for the Senators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
