News and Notes XXI: The Dog Days of Summer

Ya it's Derek Ryan, but dude is eating a meal with his family. Kill him later. Have some decency.

Eating at Gonza's to get that health food that keeps a pro athlete on top of his game.

He's on that Eddie Lack diet. Can't argue with the proven results.

I served Ron Francis a couple of beers during a movie one time

Canes are calling up Jason Shaya (Checkers radio guy) to the NHL broadcast booth on December 19th to replace John Forslund for one game.

[Joe McGrath]

That’s our guy

Canes’ Karmanos mentioned among pro owners who benefited from Paradise Papers tax havens

How many more years does Doc have?

even worse, it`s a good time for me

It’d be pretty naive to think any pro sports owner doesn’t have money in tax havens. Especially a douche like P.K.

meh, don't see anything wrong with that. not his fault the laws are dumb

 

[RodTheBawd]

Yep, outside of some political implications, that whole thing is much ado about nothing. I'd be doing the same if I was in their position.

 

[AD Skinner]

Looks like McKeown is going back to Charlotte. Have to think that means Pesce is ready/close to it. I didn't see the AZ game but he played great against Florida

 

[cptjeff]

Actually, kinda is his fault that the laws are dumb. Lots of rich people spend lots of money on politicians who keep giving rich people lots of money via tax loopholes and cuts. Our owner is no exception.

We need to keep it in perspective. McKeown played 8:49 5v5 and I think less than 10 minutes total in the FLA game with 90% offensive/neutral zone face offs. He did well in that very limited role. Against AZ, he played even less as they shortened the bench.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I was looking at some starts to see where everyone has landed so far and it is staggering how few DZone starts the Canes actually have. Only 4 players have started in the DZone more than OZone (Slavin,Kruger, Nordy, JStasl) but all but Staal are within 4 total zone starts from being 50%. Jordan is the outlier at 44%. On the other end of it, not Rask and Ryan are over 70% OZone starts and Skinner right behind. Those 3 are 10,11, & 12th in the league.

obviously

but that is the political climate we exist in so i am not sure why we would expect anything different. hard to hold it against him specifically when it isn't illegal and everyone else is also doing it

But you are overlooking a key fact... we are talking about Peter Karmanos.

Hopefully now you see my point

 

[the halleJOKEL]

oh yeah i guess youre right

 

[cptjeff]

He still makes a choice to do it. It is his fault. If you think our tax laws are stupid, there are very few who have more responsibility than the mega-wealthy people like Karmanos who buy politicians. I expect him to do it, sure, but he is still to blame when he actually does it.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Bust

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Guess he's getting a few games for a conditioning stint. Wasn't expecting him ready this soon based off the last update we got.

Where does everyone think he slots in?
