The reason DiPietro was activated is so the isles don't have to pay him if there is a lockout.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

More at the link.
Not only can he not scrounge up the money for the sale, he also won't have any money to operate it after the purchase.
Yep, this isn't happening. Looks like the NHL is going to be losing $30 million again this season.

Well done.
It's pretty obvious this guy can't afford the team. Time to move on, NHL.
Eat a box of timbits.
Not sure if it's a chain that also operates outside of the lower mainland, but JJ Bean is way better.

Doesn't seem the season will start on time:

76K pages is a lot to read before Sept.15th

I don't drink coffee but I heard they watered it down in recent years.

HAHAHAHA. They've got a bunch of temp attorneys and temp accountants going through and cataloging it as we speak. It'll take a few days. Tops.
This will not be the problem with a deal going forward. It's an expected part of collective bargaining.
KernelPanic

Well the 76K pages are supposed to be just the start, PA wants independent audit results of all 30 teams. And I know they got an army of temps to go through that.
Still think they're in no hurry to get a deal done

They don't need a deal to have a season, and neither side has said they will demand a lockout. Fehr has gone on record as pretty much saying he's fine with continuing the current CBA for a year while they work it out.

And the NHL would never agree to playing with no CBA, players can just go on strike once the season is over for example.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
4 of the 5 Russian five are confirmed for alumni game including.... FEDOROV!!!
Konstantinov will be there too though I doubt he can skate, but if somehow he does manage to get on the ice with skates, the crowd is going to explode!!
Larionov
Fetisov
Fedorov
Konstantinov
Come on Kozlov, you know you want to!

I will be so pissed if the games end up cancelled due to a lockout
So many good players on both sides
Also want to see how well Gordie Howe and Johnny Bower play

My favorite moment was when they beat the Flyers to win the cup!
I am though seriously becoming more excited for the alumni game than the actual Winter Classic game and apparently Slava Kozlov does want to play as well according to the article on the Wings site. Hopefully this may convince Shanny, Hull, and Yzerman to lace them up and join them too.

I'm pretty sure that will never happen.

I also am very excited for the Alumni game more than the regular game, but the English teacher in me must point out the fact that you spelled Fedorov's name wrong.

Does anyone here have GameCenter? I'm thinking about buying it for next year and then just using a VPN to bypass the blackout of local games. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than paying for cable

They're required to hand over those sorts of things by law if they have them. They can argue over the "relevance" of certain things, but the employers are required to turn over financial information in the course of collective bargaining.

Close enough.
It's incomprehensible how you could say "close enough" as a Red Wings fan. Those Russians made your franchise!
Next you'll be spelling Konstantinov with a C or something.

That I could not do. However the Fedorov one was typing without checking and I was too lazy to fix it once Plinko caught it. Oh well, stuff happens.
Edit: there I fixed it in my original post

In Canucks news... Kesler's agent confirmed that Gillis was mistaken when he said that Kesler was ahead of schedule and could start the season. Kesler's firmly etched to come back mid-December at the earliest.
Also, Eddie Lack is prepared and willing to sign a long-term extension and spend next season with the Wolves.

I guess I meant that they won't ever be happy with them. The same thing happened in the NFL labor struggle. The players refused to believe any of the numbers.

You are obsessed with "pls", I think everyone one of your posts has that in it in some way. :lol

It is. But it's also dirt cheap. You're paying for cheap dirt.
Also I worked at a Tim Hortons for a week when I first got to Vancouver, and it was fantastic. Free food and donuts and... Well, that was it actually.
It's literally just straight-drip coffee. There's no real way for it to be watered down, unless the beans themselves had content removed.
Had it last season. It's FANTASTIC. Had no trouble with blackouts obviously, and had some SERIOUS problems with the iOS app on 3G (authorisation bug, keeps disconnecting you saying that you're logged in somewhere else). But that was it.

Where does that leave your 3rd goalie? Who was he again?
I read this thread more than I post, but I do pop in from time to time (hence my avatar of Kabanov peeking out from behind the curtain).
It's either Kevin Poulin or Anders Nilsson, either of which I think is more than ready to be an NHL backup. Poulin's most likely got the inside track though, and is being groomed to be the starter in 2013-14. You might recall Nilsson as the guy that got shelled in his debut start against the Penguins (Crosby's comeback game) but he came back with two solid starts against the Devils later in the year.
