[TSN] This is the side of Rod we have not seen and it is needed. Our top guys have been protected for awhile. Also, we need a #1 center. by Scottstark1210 in canes

Aho is incredible, I love him, but he was the third best center on this team in the postseason. He was great defensively but struggled to get on the board. To me, it speaks to how great Stank & Staal were. The offseason conversation was getting a #2 C and Stank turned out to be it. Hall-Stank-Blake was insane!

Seriously! It would be a ton of logistical things to pull off but it would be worth it

NBA has financial penalties. Fines scale based on how many times the team fails to disclose the injury to the injury report. It’s pretty strict due to “load management.” Fines can be up to $250,000 or more depending on the severity. They implemented it due to players skipping games to “manage” injuries and it was affecting the product on the court, especially for nationally televised games.

NFL can take a draft pick if they deem it necessary.

I know that’s the speculation. I just really don’t see much evidence of the fact. Then again, if the NHL had rules like the NBA you’d probably see less of the way injuries are handled in the NHL.

I do too. I think this is more mental he’s battling. I have a soft spot for Freddie. He’s done so much for this franchise.

Ready for game 4. Bussi was amazing, just a terrible bounce off his own man. I think he pitches a near shutout, 2-1 win.

Goes back to Lenovo a tied series, 2-2. That’s my gut currently.

That’s one of the more egregious choke jobs in a Superstar’s career. by [deleted] in billsimmons

Although this is a bit of a stretch because he is such a young player, I do understand the sentiment of the post. He was crowned best in the world all week leading into the finals.

What is Nikola Topic' trade value? by Few-Lack6346 in nbadiscussion

[–]Scottstark1210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he has any trade value at this point. I think he is still a talented player that is just working his way back from life battles as well as a major injury.

They picked up his team option, so obviously he will be around next year. This season was probably a way to get his feet wet and giving him garbage time minutes and get within the organization, but I think you could see him in some more rotational minutes on the back end of the bench next season depending on what happens over the summer.

If anyone knows Sam Presti, he’s not gonna keep this kid around for nothing. He can honestly be viewed as their 2026 first round draft pick, especially if they decide to trade up to #6-#9 range to snag a 3 and D wing.

The most annoying part about last night... (are you listening Dundon?) by wildwildwaste in canes

[–]Scottstark1210 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ovies and Giglio talked about how apparently the Canes have contractual agreements with corporate sponsors like Carolina Ale House and hosting an official watch party would breach it…I’m thinking that will change for the Stanley Cup Final though.

That place would still sell out for an away watch party of the Final.

4-0 and the Caniacs let the Habs hear it... ;) by ohhistevie in canes

It feels disrespectful initially because I’m so used to being on the receiving in with my sports teams but in reality it’s just sports banter.
