It’s easier to wrap your head around the decision when you recognize the power of the CBA. They fined the maximum allowed. They’re handcuffed by what is outlined in the CBA and good luck getting the players’ Union to agree to a significant increase in fines.
I would imagine Elvis will start until he gives us a reason not to play him. Could be one game or 10. We'll see, depends on how much they trust Martin too. But not enough to play him second game of the season when Elvis played good last game.
No offense, but why in the world would you try to use Elvis in fantasy? He was statistically the worst goalie in the league last year.
I need a stop gap for one game to keep my goalies’ stats from being ineligible (need 3 goalie starts in a week) and Kuemper not playing screwed that up. There’s also no better options that start tomorrow, and it seems Elvis played well last game.
Oh, did Elvis have massive reconstructive surgery on his injured hips that I missed?
Godspeed
- I've always trusted Jake, and it's safe to say I'm right.
I have always thought this should be the punishment for an illegal hit. Determining intent though would be the problem.
I would go a step further and say that intent is mostly irrelevant. Except in cases where it's glaringly obvious, it doesn't matter. I don't care if Hathaway is a thug or just an awkward oaf.
I would gladly have covered the cost of a one-game contract to have a Willie Trognitz of John Badduke (in their prime, obviously) out there on that shift.
