Yes! NBCSN was better, to me anyway. ESPN is pure horsesht. I miss NBCSN for the fact there wasn't really any other sport to muddy the airwaves. ESPN has other major sports that take priority over hockey. It doesn't feel the same since hockey isn't the black sheep on network television..
Retained salary is both money and cap hit. (Not just for helping GMs to build rosters, but also for owners to save money). For example, Toronto traded Phil Kessel after year 1 of an 8yr, $8M per and retained 15%. So Toronto has had $1.2M count against their cap for 7yrs, while Pittsburgh/Arizona have only had him on the books for $6.8M. So, with Kessel in the last year of his deal right now and likely to be a rental player for a contender, the new team that acquires him will be absorbing his cap hit of $6.8M (provided Arizona doesn’t also retain salary in the trade).
It would be nice for a change to hear Ryan Whitney explain why he fell out of the NHL like I remember one moment he was one of the top Defenders the next moment he was borderline out of the NHL and left that season and I'm pretty sure he was with emptin I would like to know what the heck happened I didn't hear if it was an injury or not or what lack of passion for the game at the time it would be really nice to know where or what happened there because one moment he's one of the best the next moment he's retiring I was so confused and lost
I think he described it as his ankles exploding lol. But he was good there for a few years. I love it when he thanks sid for his big contract cause he just had to get it up to him for free assists lol
As a B’s fan the canes are an absolute wagon. If the B’s can’t figure out consistent secondary scoring and Freddie stays solid for you guys, canes got it in a wrap
@@wilbs1959 That's a good point. Id much rather go to VAN than to ARZ where you don't even know if the franchise is going to live for much longer. They got those gorgeous new threads and then just flatlined..
Kinda got a kick outta the stadium flushing conversation. You have to do it for the plumbing code of most cities. It is funny all hands on deck for a synchronized flush
Ok, not even 25% into the season and we are talking about playoffs, teams missing playoffs and trade deadline. What the heck am I missing? Not even halfway through the half point of the season.
biz love you, support you. but mcd didnt shoulder check four times. He didnt sholder check once, he used his speed and countered the flow of anticipation twice. Thats it. Speed
I was in the BCJHL...playing for Merritt in B.C. ...after the first period... we were down 2-1... and our Coach came in and said I HOPE YOU FUCKERS LOSE... I said HOLY MAN...WELL FUCK YOU !!! He didn't say anything...he left the dressing room... and we went back out and won the game... this was in 1977...
The rookie kid is a BS move. Because his parents sacrificed ,all those games and gear they had to buy. The moment they get him to the show. The pride of the moment he got on the ice would have just been the best minute of thier lives
This is crazy, zegras is nasty but he hasn’t even played 50 games of a season yet and is making bets with conn smythe winners. Talk about a lot of balls lmao Also if any rookie from Toronto tried to do an interview like this, they’d be exiled instantly 😂😂 Lou would’ve had a stroke if this was a leaf player when he was the GM
i wish you split the show up somehow, news/chitchat/interviews... 3.5 hours and its all mushed togethor is so chunky to consume.. (i know you want to maximize ad revenue and what not, just saying)
whit has the worst immune system in the league, dude needs to get on the good stuff. I crush a pack a day and smoke an ounce and this guy sounds worse than me every pod.
