Interview with Carl Tardif who covers the Remparts: Roy says that Darcy has told him that Oreo (lol) will be invited to training camp whenever it starts. (yeah, we knew this but nice to hear). Grigs will be sitting because Kucherov is coming back from his shoulder surgery. Roy doing a rotation with him missing every 3rd or 4th game.

Looks like the NY Rangers will need to give the okay for Islanders move. MSG is only 5 miles away. In other news, a Zamboni was seen driving from Nassau Coliseum to Barclay's Center today... dragging Yashin's contract behind it.

Dear Mr Hull, A box addressed to you showed up at my home today. I couldn't resist opening it. It was a rooster mask and a bag of lollipops. A card was attached that said "Happy Halloween". I will gladly forward said box as soon as you get your foot out of my crease. Sincerely, Chz

I can't read your post with that damn gif giving me seizures.

These young kids nowadays just don't read enough. http://forums.sabrespace.com/topic/21292-around-the-nhl-2012-2013/page__st__600#entry420253

But is that 5 o'clock Eastern or Pacific?

Sign at Amerks game last night "I hate pretending I like watching football".

So you're saying I should just take the day off and drink? Done.

FWIW, I really don't care. I may as well close my eyes and flick the first switch I touch in the booth.

Some investor with ties to Trump. Give me a minute... Douglas Kass

"source" claims he has divorce papers for the prez that were drawn up but never filed.

IIRC the number was $105,000. Adjusted prolly 150? by now. Just looked TJ's only making 95 in the AHL. For some reason I thought he was making more.

John Davidson hired as President of Columbus Blue Jackets made official today. CBJ can't get a break, Islanders trump the news today.

Nah. Not much laughing for me lately. It hurts.

Funny right there.

Islanders only get on average about 13,000 a game so it fits well. I really set myself up there didn't I.

Don't know about Wang but the Islanders are playing in Brooklyn in 2015.

NY Islanders Owner Charles B. Wang, Barclays Center Majority Owner and Developer Bruce Ratner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Islanders General Manager Garth Snow, and Barclays Center and Brooklyn Nets CEO Brett Yormark all gathering for a meeting today to make a "major announcement". Hmmmm. Hello Brooklyn?

Mair was hired as Director of Player Development for Canisius college hockey team http://www.gogriffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=205717958&DB_OEM_ID=20500 Good for him.

So, last week Tuesday the NHL makes an offer to the players. Wednesday they make it public. Also last Wednesday Bettman tells the GM's that they should talk to their players. They have 48 hours to do so. Bettman carefully words his memo so as not to come across as unfair labor practices. So the owners and GM's face big fines if the go public with anything but they can talk to the players? The NHLPA doesn't find out about it (or at least doesn't say it publicly) until yesterday. Today the NHLPA requested a meeting and the NHL flatly said no. Seems to me the NHL is more interested in busting up the union than making a deal.

I don't think the "wayness" of his contract has anything to do with waivers.

That would be reentry waivers. One of the things the new CBA is looking to get rid of.

I asked nobody answered. You're all too worried about who's going to be president to think about hockey.
