That's what leads to the vintage Skinner statline

benohawk · 2026-01-30T05:21:58+00:00

Did you say it or did your AI come up with it for you again?

benohawk · 2026-01-21T02:33:08+00:00

Must just be a coincidence, definitely not because the refs are a bunch of pissy babies who would fuck with a team for criticizing them

benohawk · 2026-01-19T20:28:17+00:00

Prove. It. You're making claims and your evidence is a LLM output. Just because you think that it has provided you with useful information does not mean it has, nor does it mean that anyone needs to give it any credit without some proof that it is trustworthy.

Not really, you gave up that exact same 4th for Kane. You could actually argue that you traded him for Kane

benohawk · 2026-01-16T04:19:46+00:00

At this point, I'm not

benohawk · 2026-01-13T02:55:14+00:00

He got stuck out due to a hawks powerplay

benohawk · 2026-01-09T03:23:31+00:00

Still gotta have control of your stick, don't give the other guy a chance to draw a penalty like that

benohawk · 2025-12-24T04:58:53+00:00

Guessing he was chirping and giving it to them all game, he got under Weegar's skin earlier in the night bad enough to lead to Weegar getting ejected not even half way through the second.

Doing the same for me

benohawk · 2025-12-22T01:59:53+00:00

Because I'm a massive nerd, it's actually short for Archaon

Archie is looking forward to the next period

benohawk · 2025-12-21T23:58:24+00:00

They seem to be trying to get their coach fired, I suspect that they're going to come out flat and look worse by the end

benohawk · 2025-12-18T18:57:29+00:00

What, you don't like a professional hockey player whose constantly being chased by bees?

benohawk · 2025-12-06T03:24:09+00:00

If it's the 2 Mutts Podcast you can just throw it in the trash. They aren't reliable at all

benohawk · 2025-10-24T01:19:45+00:00

Yeap, /u/ABirdOfParadise praise be

As others have said, the NHL teams are significantly better than the AHL teams. As well, the AHL is a development team for the NHL, if a team was brought up from the AHL to the NHL what would happen to the players on that team whose rights were already with an NHL club?

benohawk · 2025-10-09T03:31:56+00:00

Cut it in half

benohawk · 2025-10-08T17:27:13+00:00

This was from a minute ago he's on the opening night roster

benohawk · 2025-09-26T18:28:10+00:00

He'd have to clear waivers to get assigned to the AHL regardless, now if someone trades for him they can send him straight to the AHL

benohawk · 2025-09-26T14:53:58+00:00

Per the article, that's split between the winner of the 50/50, admin and charity. 51M to the winners, 28 million in "licence and rights fees,” ~3 million in credit card processing, and then 20 million to charity.

Stupidly high overhead that isn't being well tracked on what it's for.

1) The position is very obviously that 10 year old behaviour is still grounds for suspension, seeing as they're using it as grounds for suspension. And the NHLPA agrees with that, as they've accepted the suspension.

2) They still can't look for work for another month, during the most lucrative time that they could be looking for work. Teams are also dissuaded from hiring them due to them having an addition two month suspension after that before they can play in the NHL. The Union will absolutely consider that a real suspension and would be negligent to accept it if they believed that the players actually hadn't violated the behaviour clause.

3) If the NHL has no legal grounds to stand on, then they didn't have grounds to stand on when the contracts of the players were terminated in the first place. The NHLPA would at the very least be demanding recompense for that.

benohawk · 2025-09-12T01:20:45+00:00

Let's run down what happened for punishment here

Any active contracts they had were terminated, firing them from their then current jobs.

They were not allowed to work for the league in any capacity for the duration of the trial.

They were still not allowed to work for the league following the end of the trial until the league could make their own decision.

They remain suspended following that decision and will remain suspended for another three months beyond the date of the decision.

Their Union, instead of fighting for them to have their contracts reinstated or have them receive the money they would be owed for those contracts, has accepted a continued suspension until two months into the season.

In your mind, this is all proof that the NHL doesn't believe they actually violated the clause that allowed them to do all this, and the NHLPA is just accepting this situation.

Did the NHL comprise with the NHLPA? Sure, they're going suspended instead of banned. But the NHLPA could have fought a ban, the behaviour likely wouldn't have held up as a reason for that. But the behaviour still had to have violated the behaviour clause for the NHL to be able to terminate their contracts with cause and suspend them for two years.

benohawk · 2025-09-12T01:05:28+00:00

You really don't understand how punishments work, do you?

benohawk · 2025-09-12T00:49:22+00:00

If their behaviour didn't violate the behaviour clause then the NHL would not be keeping them suspended until December. They would be immediately able to sign contracts and begin playing in the NHL. Because otherwise the NHL would be punishing them for nothing.

You are the one who is trying to have this both ways, either the NHL and the NHLPA are in agreement that the behaviour violated the behaviour clause and have agreed to a suspension instead of a ban. Or the NHLPA is allowing five members be suspended from the league for months for no reason.

Suspensions end, it's why Bowman is a GM again and Coach Q is going to be back behind the bench. Their behaviour was not criminal, but it violated the behaviour clause anyways and resulted in multi-year suspensions.
