I mostly just think the agent is an idiot. That sword is a claymore, right? I can’t imagine those ever worked very well with the stabbing. 

People on here keep debating about the biology of the male sex and what constitutes professionalism, yet an agent has tweeted a painting (?) of his client with a claymore thrust through his torso. Come on guys, wtf.

Men and women both have torsos.  And who in here is debating about the biology of the male sex?  I think we're all pretty clear on that topic.  If you're not, I can try to get the picture book that my mom gave to me about 42 years ago.

EDIT:  Highlight of book:

If only it were that simple, at birth, parents are allowed to pick the sex of the a child, or even pick.... Undecided. The whole penis/boy, *****/girl thing apparently doesn't hold up, even with an umbilical cord still attached. 

Crazy times my peeps, crazy times indeed.

If SDS were NBC and applied the same standards, I don't know how many of us would be left.

For there to be any support for NBC on this board... there's the real hypocrisy.

I think even NS would be out in the Internet-less desert wandering around for 40 years with the rest of us.

It has been deleted.  @Brawndo, what was it?

[LGR4GM]

It was probably the rumor that Jack Johnson was part of the Kapanen trade.

Wow.  That is one hefty penalty.

[Gabrielor]

Wonder if Ekman-Larsson is available.

[Zamboni]

Besides a link, Can someone breakdown the details of the Coyotes situation?

I bet if it was Toronto, Boston, Montreal, Chicago or the Rangers the sanctions would have been less...much less.

The Coyotes were accused of conducting illegal pre-draft testing for more than 20 prospects from the Canadian Hockey League. According to sources, CHL teams accused the Coyotes of putting draft-eligible prospects through physical tests, which is not allowed before the NHL scouting combine.

--from ESPN--

[dudacek]

Has the NHL ever issued a bigger punishment for cheating?

No, just for player selection.

And am I ever a dummy.  I read it as "League's Combined Testing Policy" and thought they had misreported COVID results in the bubble or something.  I'm just now figuring out what this is for.

Correct 

 

That's one way to get teams to rethink skirting a leaguewide policy.  

But as someone earlier mentioned, can't help but wonder what the punishment would've been had it been the B's, the Loafs, the Rags, or 1 of the 2-3 other MFTs committing the infractions.

Boston is behind in their series ? 

Now this is a topic I can get behind in this thread dedicated to the national hockey league.  Boston losing is good for everyone.

Many of which posts concerned social relations, sports, athletes speaking out, and not politics.  Some of us were VERY careful not to mention politics in that discussion.

Do you think Labatt felt like your posts were "careful?"  It sure looked like he got offended and left -- which has happened a number of times as a direct result of people (not just you) blasting away with politically-related ad hominem attacks in threads on the main board.  Neo left and now it looks like Flagg has done so as well.

If your point is that discussions of race relations aren't political, I think you're just splitting hairs.

There's a reason the politics club was formed.  Keep it there, please.
