Travis Zajac deal is covered by old 100% rule, NOT the new CBA rule

By
January 16, 2013

…except to the degree that the new rule says it’s the old rule that applies here. We have our first big signing under the new CBA. Puck Daddy (@wyshynski) declares that the deal “demonstrates contract rules under the new CBA,” and then proceeds to get it all wrong. No fault of theirs, really. They probably...

February 2, 1993: Gary Bettman’s first day on the job

By
November 2, 2012

Bettman's legacy of expansion into non-traditional markets is responsible for the current lock-out. Without the political support of those same franchises -- one of which is owned by the NHL -- we would be watching NHL hockey now.

Shorter me: the Bettman experiment has blown up in his face. And this is what that looks...

They ask, should the Devils sign Doan?

By
July 27, 2012

Devil people: "Doan is reportedly asking for as close to a 4 year – 30 million dollar contract which is quite a lot, even for him. Still, if the Devils feel they need the scoring presence in the absence of Parise, would you want the Devils to reach out to Doan and try to...

If I’m Zach Parise…

By
June 29, 2012

And I learn (as we all did this morning) that the Devils’ financial picture is so grim that they can’t offer a contract to Martin Brodeur, there is simply no way I am re-signing with that team. At this point, the inestimable charms of Lou Lamoriello* are the only hope of keeping Parise in...

Memo to 99 Cent Store: if the Kings swept, why would anyone need GAME SEVEN tickets?

By
June 7, 2012

In addition to the obvious embarrassment of running the ads in the first place. It occurs to me, though, that there is no “just kidding” clause in consumer law. Shouldn’t they compound their embarrassment by having to sell us something comparable for 99 cents? Otherwise, it’s a classic bait-and-switch. “I know you came here...

Maybe if you don't like hockey anyway, don't know anything about it, or you're a reporter who never stayed up to watch games on the West Coast, or if when you say "hockey" you mean "ad revenue and/or network ratings for hockey." Or you're Shane Doan.

How many teams have gone up 3-0 in all four rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs?

By
June 4, 2012

I’m going to go out on a limb and say: one. This one. Maybe one of those (enumerated in this post) dynasty teams did it. But I don’t think so. I’ll look it up after the dizziness wears off. Evernote lets you save all the interesting things you see online into a single place....
