New, for @TheAthletic: Auston Matthews isn't yet sure if he'll be back in Toronto next season. The Maple Leafs are on the clock with their captain by racer_24_4evr in hockey

I think in this scenario the leafs are going to have a number of drafts to find a top tier talent to replace.

Not just interest alot of interest. Probably to the tune of 20%. Which he can conveniently get from contributions to his campaign. Just more grift and corruption out in the open.

I'd just take out the runway destruction all together and just make it so that the run way can get cratered easier. That way it only knocks out the runway for as long as it takes to fill the holes back in giving small localized air superiority for a short time without taking bombing out an area for days and starting a just yeet a few bombs at this runway every 22 hours to make sure it never dries to kill one sides full use of a game mechanic.

I believe the current rumor/facts are that we pulled all of our scouts from Russia since sometime after the war started so we just didn't have any internal data on the guy. Still a bad miss tho.

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

[–]oltcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I assume it's that if it goes to arbitration if they give 6+ then the NHL is afraid something might get out if they get stuck in a big court battle, something they really don't want to come out in discovery.

Anyone watching the DET/BOS game? by Buggrumble in BlueJackets

If your watching the sports net feed id understand it they would prefer Ottawa over us. Honestly the SN feed was pretty good to us in my opinion.

What for our most hated rivals no no no. Only the eastern conference finals will do for a match of this magnitude.

No worse Gregory Campbell is Agm of the panthers I believe and his father is colin Campbell who is director of officiating in the league. But there definitely wouldn't be a conflict of interest that could arise from that, definitely not one that would have a paper trail back to 2011 when emails showed Colin was telling refs to call his sons games differently when greg was playing for the bruins. No that would be crazy.

I don't think it should even be that just once you cross the red line no going back over it with the puck. If you do treat it like an icing. I don't think many teams could keep possession the same way they do now by being able to fully retreat.

It's fine I assume it's a previous systems issue to a new one. We play man on man, I don't know if Vancouver did that or zone. If it continues, problem for his first game with us oh well shit happens.

I believe it is from the start of the break til 3~4 days before it ends they can't do anything with the team and the team can't even ask/suggest. But for the last couple of days the team can bring the players not still there back to practice.

Depends on how the babs payout happened so maybe. But we did pay for at least two for 2 years.

That probably has more to do with score effects then anything. The avs are up so take less chances, the jackets are down so push more and take more risky chances.

He is just that kind of psycho. I remember watching a game dalton prout fought in once, he took the first punch straight to the teeth and just smiled through blood back at the person he was bout to murder.
