Appeal to authority? You're one of the few I'll bother to open when I see I get a response from you. You usually stay away from that horse ****.
NHL GMs are idiots when it comes to these contracts for old players
Oh ****. I'm sorry. I didn't include my mandatory disclaimer that I apparently need.
*******THIS IS ALL IN MY OPINION AS A FAN ON A FORUM WHO IS...SURPRISE SURPRISE...NOT A GM BECAUSE I NEVER WENT TO COLLEGE FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO ADMINISTRATION, SPORTS MANAGEMENT, BUSINESS, LEGAL, ETC.
BEFORE YOU READY THE TAR AND FEATHERS I CAN EXPLAIN. I HAPPENED TO START LOVING HOCKEY WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE AND WASN'T CHANGING MY ENTIRE ****ING LIFE TO PURSUE BEING AN NHL GM ON A ****ING WHIM! I HAVE OTHER PASSIONS I FOLLOWED.*********
There. Happy? I didn't know we needed to clarify why we're not GMs but there ya ****ing go. I'm ****ing around here but seriously, man? The "Why are you not a GM" card? Well gawrsh idk mister. Why aren't YOU one? Howzabout we makes a thread thingy dere so we's can talk abouts why none of ya'll are GMs aw-HUCK
As a NYR fan I've seen and suffered through those contracts quite a bit so I let my frustration leak out when talking about it. Where the **** else can I vent about this ****, no one else likes this sport where I am. I can't sit at the damn dinner table and rant about Hank having that extra year. Boss don't want to hear it, co workers don't give a **** and I usually don't even think about hockey anywhere else
I wouldn't have brought up Hank taking 6 years if I thought he'd leave rather than do it.That's my opinion on it. I could be wrong. I think he should've taken the 6 years for the teams sake either way but he didn't and now I express my frustration about it from time to time in a relatively healthy way, here in this lovely, LOOOOVELY ****ing place
