Out of Town Thread Part 7

It's more like a red one, just darker.
Mix that one:

With that one:

What kind of genetic experimentation are these, bruh. We are in the End Days.

 

[Zam Boni]

Short and concise just like you expect from northerners.

Yeah, couldn't find any other info on any of Swedish sites.
Then again, Timrå vs Anaheim in mid November, noone can fault them for heading for the sun.

Quinn signed his ELC

Ooops, wrong thread.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

My go-to is Shawshank. I must have watched it over 20 times.

Curious to know which movie others in here can watch over and over and never get tired of it.

Gangs of New York

Daniel Day-Lewis & Brendan Gleeson were both at the top of their game...

[angusyoung]

That's a rather paltry sum in the overall scheme of an NHL operation.

When do they announce their new jerseys

 

[Kriss E]

What does that even mean??
A simple accounting mistake? Or struggling to pay bills due to pandemic?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

You'd kinda expect that from a Melnyck.

So 60+ games...sure sounds like true condensed schedule that was being bandied about.

Ask Scott Gomez anything.



He denied long time rumour and confirmed that he never convinced Cammalleri and Gionta to come here.

It wouldnt be so condensed, it would be an 8 ½ months season+POs ending mid July because of Olympics starting end of July.

The issues from Gord Miller...half the teams have a seemingly hard stance on playing any hockey without fans, they just don't want to operate without any gate revenue.
Then there are the holidays, which would happen during camp. Guys like Gallagher...Price..Weber, they could still travel to their respective hometowns as they're Canadians. USA/EURO players wouldn't be able to because of 14 day quarantines. So not exactly fair and for sure, a lot of players wouldn't be okay with that.
So if they push it backwards further a month, they'd give up half their salaries already, then there's the escrow/deferral that amounts to 20~30% as well.
Finally, they will have to pay back some cash for TV deal the more games they miss.

What a mess.

Interesting that Barzal and PLD are not signed yet. I wonder if they are asking for signing bonus money in their contract? I'm sure they are and probably the reason why the contract is on hold until they know when the season starts.

Neither play for sexy markets and aren’t interested in taking financial loss short term to help out their owners.

Most of the teams have been home 7 of the past 8 months. Imagine complaining about needing to be home for a few days over Christmas. For god's sake I would be embarrassed to make such a demand after all this time off.

It's getting harder and harder to relate to any of these guys.
Isn't there a basketball player that just refused 50 mil a season?

I personally wouldn't care, spent the last 4/5 xmas by myself anyways working abroad.
But you just mentioned it, some guys might view it the other way...if it's just a few extra days, why do you have to start it before then? Just push it back a bit more.
Some people are religious or traditional, they don't like breaking the Xmas routine. Some have new families and want to spend it with them.
I'm not arguing for them, just repeating what Gord Miller was saying on the radio.

Daniel-Day Lewis was insanely outstanding in that movie......like some of the best acting I’ve ever seen....definitely top 10 for me.

Joaquin Phoenix in Joker though takes the cake as #1

James Harden.....don’t worry, he’ll still collect that dough at some point.

 

[Stive Morgan]

He's already fitting right in.

This seems like something Berge would do

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

As the proud father of a young girl who's found himself in quite a few situations like that over the years I definitely approve What my princess wants my princess gets!

We are 1 month away from Dec 24th and we still haven’t heard any news about starting the NHL season.

What is taking so long?
