I assume those two guys Chicago sent out were their bottom 2 contracts?

You said 3 right? Can I just take the whole Gare-Luce-Ramsay line?

And that’s essentially what they’ve done. There are still themed jerseys they just won’t be worn on ice. The teams and the league still hold their events. As an out of market tv only fan, this will not change my viewing experience in any way. And that tv view is by far the vast majority of the fan base. At least with the Sabres broadcast , they hit on the themes very heavily throughout the game. That’s far more valuable when it comes to attention to the cause than the rarely seen pre game warmup jersey. So really, the only change I see coming out of this move is that we no longer get the public shaming over who did and didn’t wear the jersey. The events still go on and the players don’t have waste the energy dealing with the stupid questions about what they’re wearing, even though most people never actually saw what they were wearing.

Did you paint yourself gold?

So you don’t have a giant statue of yourself in your backyard peeing into a giant fountain? I’m onto your games.

The players already had the green light to skip the events and those who did got dragged through the coals for doing it. Your suggested change does nothing to mitigate that. In fact, putting them out there in a different jersey, you may as well be casting a spotlight upon them.

My first guess played 81. My second was dead on.

Since when is there any ethics in math? Rounding 2.49 up to 3 because it’s “close enough”?

Maybe the extra 6 are small?

Oh I completely expect a good goalie to be added to this roster. I’m just responding to the scenario mentioned above. They have to and they know it.

Next you’re going to tell me that the Big Ten is about to have 16 teams.

So in that scenario where no veteran is brought in, whether or not UPL/Comrie is traded, Subban would be the most experienced goalie in the system. I’m about to become violently I’ll.

I really hope we don’t see a Levi-UPL/Comrie tandom. That’s way too inexperienced for a team so close to getting over the hump. And on that note, what does it leave in Rochester?

“How could anyone think like that” is a really great way of trying to work with and better understand people.

And on a side note, I’m way too young for any of this.

I missed the earlier talk and I thought your hint pointed towards Gates don’t cal me Tony Orlando.

Best clue ever. It had me laughing for a while.

Don’t they also from time to time wind up signing someone mid-season who didn’t actually have an AHL contract? I feel like we’ve seen some of those over the years but it may just be because of our revolving door of goalies.

I highly doubt that any contract requires participating in the pre-game warm up. Just think of the game time decision who doesn’t participate but then still plays.

It’s not just Twitter or Facebook though. Why was I seeing stories on TSN each time someone declined to participate? That’s not news unless someone wants it to be. But regardless, this is not some attempt by the league clamp down on the very events that they sponsored. That’s a ridiculous thought. This is the league making itself the villain and taking the pressure off the players. It’s a smart move and it’s the very thing each of the league commissioners have been doing for their owners for years. It’s a nice change of pace to see them doing it for the players for once.

I’m sorry, but how does this counter my comment about people jumping all over anyone who decides to skip the warmup during any of the special events? Some people in here are completely skipping over posts and changing their message to whatever the hell works for them best.

It’s going to be just as common as someone bouncing between the AHL and NHL. Just take a look for some overlap between the rosters (the interface kind of sucks, so good luck). They need to replace injured and called up players somehow. https://theahl.com/stats/player-stats/323/77?playertype=skater&position=skaters&rookie=no&sort=points&statstype=standard&page=1&league=4 https://www.echl.com/en/teams/cincinnati-cyclones#tab_team-stats-players=forwards&select_team-stats=3&select_team-roster=1&select_team-schedule=1&tab_team=stats And if people are wondering about getting a closer team, is it possible that this is temporary until they can get an organization moved?

But will the online mobs allow them to skip the warmups? I honestly don’t think that more that 12 people would have noticed that some of these players weren’t out there unless they were told.

There’s a debate?

Do shootouts count? If yes, it feels like you’re betting that the sun will rise tomorrow. Honestly, even without them it still feels like that.
