Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

That's a great shot! Anderson did an amazing job, would have liked to see him have 10 straight home wins, but not a let down by any means! GO DUCKS!

 

"The Red Wings, whose final offer was believed to be $4 millon per season over 5 years, will receive a third round draft pick as compensation for losing their head coach." from http://www.tsn.ca/babcock-joins-leafs-with-eight-year-50m-deal-1.287208

So we have to give up a 3rd rounder out of pity or WTF?

never hurts to pass over a vault of money to boot.

 

Don't you believe that Babcock did this for the good of all coaches

 

Babcock's salary ranks No. 1 among active NHL head coaches, leaving his peers in the dust:
1. Mike Babcock, $6.25M
2. Todd McLellan, $3M*
3. Joel Quenneville, $2.75M
4. Claude Julien $2.5M
5. Darryl Sutter, $2M
5. Michel Therrien, $2M
5. Alain Vigneault, $2M
5. Peter Laviolette, $2M
5. Lindy Ruff, $2M
(*McLellan's new deal with Oilers believed to be worth $15 million over five years but unconfirmed)

So this list is going to cause some salaries to go up. It only makes sense though. With a salary cap system the prediction years ago was that someone was going to start a price hike on coaches salaries.

 

From the sounds of the interview Sportnet is doing with the guy who broke the story TO will not be hiring a new GM. So likely someone from the four guys that currently have the higher end positions with the team will get the GM label attached to him but the decisions will be made between Shanny and Babcock. That's why he went to TO. He gets to coach and control the team without being the GM. Plus he gets paid like a king. It's a pretty sweet deal.

 

Babcock in the system. Next up Stamkos

 

Someone get this guy a beer

 

How's the golf in Boston?

 

Same as usual. Shitty greens, lousy one sided talk radio with a chance of Deflategate. Makes it tough to cheer for a team when you don't agree with their decisions. Like their new GM. Pass.

I'll prob be picking up an EDM hat this weekend. This one looks stylish. Has a NASCAR flare to it:

They have classy hats in Edmonton. The hats go well with their five yellow teeth. Their cousins from Strathcona keep complaining about the money being spent on the arena but it's easy for them to soothe things over when they marry them.

Just for you buddy ^

I agree with this guy. Misusing a word isn't a spelling mistake, it's a grammatical error.
