Thomas Greiss's Wings mask is one of the dumbest I have ever seen.

I didn't think it was that bad actually.

Price's new mask is insane!

speaking of Milbury, he just got fired/canceled

Mike Milbury is out at NBC

In hindsight, judging as objectively as possible, how effective was he at being "the heel" to increase ratings?

NYI were my childhood team (growing up in L.I.), but Milbury was after I moved to the south & I never cared for him as GM or broadcaster.

Evander Kane and the Sharks hit with a huge lawsuit from Centennial Bank.

Evander Kane files for bankruptcy with almost $27M in debt, may terminate contract with Sharks | TradeRumours.com

So this guy defaults on $8M, also $500K from another loan, has $27M in debt & makes $7M per year playing a kids game for the next 5 years & has an Estimated Career Earnings

: $52,956,097 already!

This guy is a punk, flaunts his money like a rap "star" wanna-be player. So glad he's not on the Wings.

Evander Kane, now nearly $30 million in debt, shows off his lavish Vegas penthouse

Excerpt:

"So this begs the question, "What the HELL happened here?"
From Kurz's column:

The filling detailed liabilities of $26.8 million and assets — largely three homes — of $10.2 million. And the filing included a note that warns he may not even play this year.

It’s unclear how the 29-year-old Kane, who has earned $52.9 million in team pay during his 11-year career, according to capfriendly.com, lost his money, but there are a few clues in the petition. Last year, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas settled a lawsuit against Kane for unpaid gambling bills. According to the Chapter 7 petition, in the last 12 months, he lost $1.5 million gambling.
The petition also listed seven dependents, all as living with him: his 6-month-old daughter, his sister, 27, his uncle, 54, his mother, 55, another uncle, 59, his father, 60, and his grandmother, 77.

What could lead to $26.8 million of debt was not spelled out in the petition for Chapter 7, a process which protects individuals or companies from creditors and provides for liquidation of certain assets to pay debts. Kane listed 47 creditors, ranging from a host of individuals to banks like Centennial and Scotiabank, to his former agency Newport.

The petition also disclosed he has a claim against Sure Sports, the loan broker that arranged the Centennial credit. “Claims against Leon McKenzie and Sure Sports LLC related to business advice and obtaining loans for Debtor,” the petition noted, referring to the CEO of the loan broker. “This includes violation of the Florida Broker’s Act, Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practice, Fraud, Breach of Fiduciary Duty.”
​

Sounds like Kane is supporting an entire compound with three homes and more than half a dozen people on the payroll...
Maybe most surprising though is the fact that Kane's lawyer has stated that Kane may not play this season due to health concerns."

Class of 2018 is bringing the heat. Farabee starts off the season with a 4 point night and Romanov grabs a point in his NHL debut, playing on the top pair.

That Anderson for Domi trade is going to keep looking better and better for Montreal. Passed last season's goal totals in his first game.

I'd rather make the Patrik Stefan empty net goal (miss), than this:

Hah

per Kypreos in the tweeterverse: On the PDL trade front, he wants to play in MTL apparently. Asking price is now Suzuki+

Chara plays 20 minutes and goes +2 with the Caps.
In Ovie and Zdeno, holy shit, two of the ugliest beasts in NHL history out there.

Jakub Voracek calls reporter a weasel who writes sh*t in awkward postgame interview

“It doesn’t matter what I say, Mike, you’re going to write sh*t every time, so it doesn’t matter what you say.”

Voracek then took a breath and attempted to answer the question nonetheless.
“Yeah, it feels different, I mean, we got four points out of our first two games…”
He couldn’t finish his sentence.

“I wasn’t even going to answer your question because you’re such a weasel, it’s not even funny. Next question.”
