Ahh yes. That’s right - thanks.Raffl was injured. High ankle sprain he played through. That was the reason he missed some games. Kept flaring up.

Can't fault him for the though process, and that looks like a decent lineup. Not the bank heist that Vegas was, but promising.
With the Reading Royals canceling the season that is going to make a really crowded LV roster . I had heard that they were thinking of expanding NHL rosters this year cause of the condensed season which will absorb a few but that will only help a bit . I wonder if they leave a few prospects playing over in Europe there just to help with the numbers .
This year is so screwed up !
Yeah, very screwed up.
There's a very high degree of certainty that by next October, a vaccine will have been available, distributed, and probably mostly administered in the general population.
So why decide on purpose to actually play a shortened season now at a loss of over $1 billion dollars (isn't the projected loss $1.7B or something?)?
It makes way more sense - from a public relations, from a player's association / escrow standpoint, from a safety standpoint, from an economic standpoint - to not force a 48 game season at a tremendous loss and just wait until the fall.
Capitalists gonna capital.
Other options include Robert Hagg (solid physical bottom-pair defender)
Polite or not listing him before Ghost and with that notation is a joke.He's just being polite.
Those darn Capitalists who want the economy to thrive and make sure people can provide for their families! Darn them, darn them.
I hate the term "Capitalism," it's basically a Marxist term which is both incorrect and ahistorical - markets, finance, trade, "capital" have existed for thousands of years in practically every organized society and "capitalism" didn't evolve out of feudalism.
There has never been a society without government regulation of business, rent seeking, taxation, coercion, etc.
The Marxist, Libertarian and Christian utopias are all fantasies.
How is the economy in this instance going to thrive with no fans in the building, and limited social activity, and a self-declared $1.7B projected loss to run an NHL season? Does it make financial sense for the league? For the teams? I have read in more than one place that there are a number of teams that would quietly prefer not to have a season because they can't shoulder the financial loss.
It's not going to do well but it will help me keep my sanity . It's all about me me me you Komy bas with a turd . lol Football runs out in January and i ain't watching frickin Basketball so i need something .How is the economy in this instance going to thrive with no fans in the building, and limited social activity, and a self-declared $1.7B projected loss to run an NHL season?

Sorry, but the use of the terms 'capital' and 'capitalist' predates Marx by a couple centuries, it's not a Marxist construct.I hate the term "Capitalism," it's basically a Marxist term which is both incorrect and ahistorical - markets, finance, trade, "capital" have existed for thousands of years in practically every organized society and "capitalism" didn't evolve out of feudalism.

Capitalism - Wikipedia
Marx's analysis in Das Kapital was the tradition of a decades long discussion of political economy, from Rousseau, Adam Smith, JS Mill, Ricardo, etc. discussing feudalism's replacement with mercantilism, liberalism, utilitarianism, laissez-faire capitalism, socialism, anarchism, etc. that was taking place all over Europe.

The 1.7b loss probably does not out weight the loss of fan and advertising interest in the NHL long term.How is the economy in this instance going to thrive with no fans in the building, and limited social activity, and a self-declared $1.7B projected loss to run an NHL season?

Yes, and it was all wrong, those thinkers relied on the scraps of classical literature with no access to carbon dating, genetics and everything else modern anthropologists and archeologists have at their disposal. They had no clue how ancient societies really functioned - the explosion in knowledge since 1970 is a magnitude greater than anything before that time.
It's not different than seeing Freud as anything more than a footnote in intellectual history. Modern knowledge is so far ahead of 18th and 19th century thinkers that we should just treat them as items in a history of thought survey, not as sources for real analysis.
Are you summarily dismissing pre-20th century thought?
The average American has more knowledge than the top thinkers of 200 years ago.
But knowledge does not equal wisdom.
Pretty much, because most of it was based on faulty assumptions concerning human nature.
I went through History of Western Civ 40 years ago, but so much of what ancient writers thought was wrong, from science to history to psychology and physiology.
The average American is an idiot, but as I used to point out to Europeans who'd patronize Americans, those Americans are descended from ignorant European peasants - as we're now seeing in much of Europe, the educated elite is a thin veneer.
And as you point out, education does not provide wisdom, only education combined with life's lessons, fully learned and noted, can provide wisdom and perspective. Without education, you are limited to your local circumstances, without experience you lack the context to judge and interpret your education.
The single year loss might be offset by a better TV deal, which is coming soon. And they probably fear losing a ton of negotiating leverage with another lost season. The lockouts have harmed them enough as-is
This is the epitome of American anti-intellectualism. These giants of political and economic thought are not made irrelevant by frigging carbon dating. Take a history class, my friend.Yes, and it was all wrong, those thinkers relied on the scraps of classical literature with no access to carbon dating, genetics and everything else modern anthropologists and archeologists have at their disposal.
