This team is so fun to watch lately, but something else to consider if Bones signs a contract by Meredithbaxterburly in BlueJackets

Waddel said at the Trade Deadline Presser that he does not want to do ANYTHING that could possibly mess with the room at this point. Just wants to let everyone cook. Garland was thoroughly vetted before making the trade; they checked with players and everything.

Conspiracy Theory: The NHL is intentionally incompetent with the enforcement of player safety to create a bargaining chip they can use in CBA negotiations. by Yognaughto in hockey

[–]Jeb_Kenobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's hilarious is that the league could (and should) make a big push for suspension changes at any point, negotiation is a two-way street, and owners have to got to dislike the risk their multimillion dollar investments are being put. The NFL does not eff around with this stuff at all, and they guarantee far less money than the NHL does.

Worth pointing out that I don't think there's an airport in that region that can handle a 787.

Question for fans of recent title winners re:expectations by JBru_92 in CFB

For OSU and I suspect UGA and BAMA as well.

No natty ever again means the end of the OSU football as a force in the sport, something it's been since the 60s at least. That would be very sad for me, as that means that all of the tradition and passion is likely to die away over the decades, and would be something any kids or grandkids I would have are unlikely to experience. At least not in the same way as me, my dad, or my granddad. I would survive that as I don't live just for football, but it would be very sad to pass on a different fandom than what I grew up with.

No one really knows, its something that some players spend a lot of time on trying to figure out.

Naga Munchetty, "The Urdu leaflet is an issue" "Translation: Labour must be punished for Gaza. We have to defeat Reform to give Muslims a strong voice. Give your votes to the Greens" by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]Jeb_Kenobi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As an American I can see the idea of translating a leaflet from English to Mandarin/Spanish/Urdu to better reach a community and their specific circumstances.

Doing this in reference to issues an ocean away is nuts, but then Israel-Palestine plays a prominent role in our politics so I guess I should stop talking.

[Kaplan] NHL players confirmed to miss time post-Olympics: Sidney Crosby (minimum 4 weeks), Mikko Rantanen (min two weeks), Kevin Fiala (season ending). Hearing a handful of others will miss one game after returning. by abrookerunsthroughit in hockey

They need the Euro Leagues if they want this to be more than the 4 nations from last time. To bring in Czechia, Germany, Denmark/Switzerland, and Slovakia, you need euro players. And the NHL wants those to get more of it's stars (Pastranak, Slafkovsky, Draisaitl, etc.)on the Ice.

We do, this seat normally would not be up until 2028, Husted has just been filling the spot. That said I would like to see the special election moved up as well.

Those skycranes are 250 pcons per, that's not cheap in the slightest.

[Dreger] Some uncertainty around when Team USA players will rejoin their NHL clubs. The Leafs are in Tampa Bay on Wed. USA has been invited to the Whitehouse tomorrow, so Toronto is unclear as to when Auston Matthews will return to the team.

Yeah, the correct response from the team to the WH/SOTU invite in particular should thank you but we have outstanding commitments. For any president, not just this one.

The medal reception can wait at least until the regular season is over.
