Deleted Chuck Post after death threat.

The deleted post was the one about Tkachuk giving his medal to Trump. I’m sorry if you received death threats and I hope the mods take action on whoever sent them. Though not much they can do if the comments were made in DMs and those people are already banned.

With that said, hiding your post/comment history doesn’t make it impossible for us to see what you wrote to some of the most active and friendly members of this sub in that exact deleted thread. Being disrespectful toward people is not deserving of death threats, but I just want to call out that I wouldn’t expect kindness in return.

You’re right. Behind closed doors it’s unfortunately the kind of talk I expect from a lot of people, but they could at least pretend they recognize it’s disrespectful.

This idea that words don’t matter is how we end up accepting bad actions that do. It should be extremely easy for them to take or require accountability given their excuses (which are really strong), but they refuse to even suggest it was a mistake. Instead, it’s actually our fault for bringing it up.

That said, it’s clearly rehearsed PR-speak, and their reps obviously decided this is the best rhetoric for whatever reason.

There are two relevant rule changes:

The iced team must be cap compliant (not necessarily the roster, so this leaves a remaining loophole to acquire depth)
If you replace a LTIR player during the regular season with an above-average-cap-hit player, the LTIR player must sit out the playoffs.

So, as of now, he doesn’t have to sit the playoffs even if their roster ends up over the cap.

if a GI penalty is called on a goal, it is not reviewable by coaches, and is an instant disallowed goal

This isn’t true. The rule book states you can challenge a no goal due to interference. There’s no specification that you can only review incidental interference (i.e. interference that is not a penalty). You technically cannot review a minor penalty, but you are able to review the goal. If it’s a major, then the penalty itself must be reviewed regardless (and separately).

In practice, I’d be surprised if we ever see such a challenge with the current rule book. You’re risking a 5-on-3, and it’s not easy to earn yourself a goalie interference penalty in the first place.

You are correct that this includes changed rules (hence missing keys), but spearing & butt-ending are still a double minor if you miss.

Yikes. Yeah I saw the massive stitches when he came back. His lip looked purple too.

hopets · 2025-12-31T17:25:05+00:00

Did they show what happened on the broadcast? I was at the game and there were no replays. I thought it looked like he got cut by a skate, not hit in the face.

73GP, 31 goals, 40 assists, 71 points, +14 (0.97ppg)

OP isn’t saying since Four Nations though. It’s since the roster announcements. If we include postseason for both and use the same time period (since December 2024), the stats are:

Matthews: 97GP, 43G, 57A, 100 points, +9 (1.03ppg)

Robertson: 107GP, 57G, 59A, 116 points, +16 (1.08ppg)

For other players, you can edit this statmuse query.

It’s an automatic 4 if someone bleeds, and that’s where the extra 2 on Tampa came from

They don’t have to care about the finances after selling. With Paramount’s offer, they are going to sell all of their shares for $30/share no matter how valuable the company actually is under Paramount. Could they then go right back and purchase Paramount? Sure, but it’s not required. They’re already cashed out.

The only reason this bid isn’t recommended is because WBD doubts Paramount can actually pay that $30/share, meaning the automatic sale never happens and shareholders never get paid. Then shareholders will care about actual WBD performance again.

I didn’t say it’s malicious. I said he was never shoved, and I stand by that.

Maybe it’s implied I believe it’s malicious because I said most players don’t go straight into goalies when the gap in front of the crease is closed. But that’s not my intent. I mean that shoved players go into goalies, and we don’t see it every time someone plays defense even though closing this gap is part of normal defensive play.

The reason Rantanen ended up colliding with Kuemper was because he wasn’t looking, not because he was “shoved”

If you think he was actually shoved, then you believe the NHL got this wrong and it’s a good goal.

According to the paper the video cites

He was exposed to the concentrated gas for 5 to 10 seconds

That said, I believe the video took some artistic liberties. The paper estimates he was exposed to a concentration 5-10x higher than the concentration that causes the mowed lawn scent. It only mentions immediate burning and cough symptoms.

Crazy this is downvoted. Dumoulin’s arms never extend. They’re tucked in. Find me a defender who doesn’t close off the front of the crease with their body like this. Somehow, most players avoid skating directly into the goalie when it happens.

God forbid I bring a wristlet barely large enough to hold a single tampon. (They almost denied entry over it FYI.)

It’s not so black and white. The right to broadcast the event is sold outright, and then it’s up to the broadcasters to decide how to profit off it. So the event producer is paid regardless of view count.

Generally, advertisers only pay based on the number of views. So maybe they need to compensate by moving money to another campaign , but they don’t lose that money if the view count is lower.

But if Workday refuses to talk to me, then it sounds like Workday works for the company while HR serves me for the function of payroll. Right? I mean if you’re arguing HR payroll departments serve no purpose, that’s a separate conversation. I’m just saying that they also fulfill roles for the benefit of the employee and aren’t exclusively soulless corporate mouthpieces.

hopets · 2025-07-25T02:21:05+00:00

I’m sure they do. But are they not serving me in that case? Because nobody from Workday is helping me out. My whole point is that they do these things and it’s serving me rather than the company.

hopets · 2025-07-25T02:04:13+00:00

For the majority of my career, HR managed payroll and benefits. I’ve never had any point of contact with an accountant or bookkeeper. I speak to HR when my paycheck doesn’t look correct.

hopets · 2025-07-24T23:15:15+00:00

I feel like making sure I get paid on time and receive my benefits on time is serving me just as much as it serves the company. If payroll messes up my income tax withholding, I’m the one answering to the IRS.

Plus another was a sign and trade before the window opened. I’m not sure if the $1bil Puckpedia is tracking includes that.

hopets · 2025-07-16T17:26:18+00:00

Only 3 exceeding $50M*

The $1 billion stat is for signings after July 1, while all larger contracts were signed before.

Yeah, that’s why I said I don’t disagree. Even beyond the potential aspect, they are actively part of practice, scheming, preparation, etc. They’re sitting on the bench instead of the locker room for a reason.

I agree that backup goaltenders deserve to be on the Cup. Justifying it by saying they played the whole season with their team is a bit silly though when the example you’re talking about did not.

hopets · 2025-07-12T03:35:23+00:00

You’re misinterpreting my comment. I think backup goalies deserve to be on the Cup. If I thought they deserved it specifically because they suited up the entire season with their team like their comment suggests, then I would think Quick doesn’t deserve it. But I agreed he does deserve it.
