Rewatching the 2010 Gold Medal game. Richard, Toews and Getzlaf were totally in their primes.

NHL draft predates the NHLPA by 4 years
But then again... Not sure how well it would hold up in court
There'd be no cap, but teams would spend within their means... Teams only made an average profit of $5 million last season
So teams profit go up, fan interest deflates in smaller markets leading to lower revenues leading to lower spend
It would be hilarious
I also want to taste players tears when they are forced to pay for travel and rooms and equipment
The bottom half of the NHL would flip the fuck out and immediately re-establish the union
The one thing I don't know about is say the NHLPA decertified and teams signed contracts but then the CBA is put in place... Would NHL be on hook for those contracts as there is no direct CBA? I guess they'd have to put in a termination clause or transitional clause in every contract they sign
There'd be no such thing as scabs, they sign whoever the hell they want at that point
Exactly. Also, factor in that there's a slim chance that they'd even win in court(going by what was said during the NFL and NBA decertification lawsuits), the players would only be fucking themselves over in a huge way by dissolving the PA. Both the NFL and NBA unions decertified and when the players realized it wasn't going to help them in the end, the caved and both leagues had deals with a couple weeks.

NFL players got shot down trying to get the lockout ruled illegal. Decertifiying isn't a guarantee of anything.

The last sentence is the most important part... and multiple judges basically told both sides that during the short NFL lockout

Never really occurred to me how much Duncan Teeth fumbled the puck during this game... wow.
He fumbles the puck every game.

Something I never really noticed about him... Even though I know the outcome of this game, I'm nervous every time either he or Luongo go to play the puck. Not that Luongo made any bad plays (so far), it's just the nervousness that always comes from a goalie playing the puck.
Especially Luongo.
Schneider is worse than Luongo at playing the puck.
If you want to have a mental breakdown, then watch a few games with Niemi in net.
Very interesting article on the "Fehr factor" and why the owners shouldn't underestimate him:

And that's quite the achievement.
dude should be chained to the net.
Too demeaning. How about a collar that electrocutes him if he leaves his crease.

How about we just tell him that there is a sniper in the rafters that'll start taking pot shots at him if he leaves the crease.

Rick Nashs patented "just plow through whatever is in your way" move didn't really work out that well for the GMG... He's tried it so many times in the first period and it's just lead to a turnover each time.
Meanwhile Kaner does the same thing, skates down the wing and manages to get more territory by speed alone... then his linemates don't catch up and he ends up passing to nobody before getting leveled by Weber or Pronger :lol
Apparently Kessel is playing on Team USA but you can't really notice it.

Dunno if he meant to DM it or what but Hall just tweeted "At least have the decency to answer your phone before you tweet, me and ebs both called you" :lol what a baby christ, just randomly saw it and checking his timeline now it's gone.
Busy eating waffles in the dressing room.

Also you can tell Parise, Suter and Heatley were meant to play together (DESTINY)...
They keep passing the puck to each other.

Hey he kicked the shit out of Tommy Salo and then challenged the whole Islanders bench. Shit goalie but I'll always respect him for that.
That was before my time, had to catch up. That was awesome, thanks for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZrdJpW3fbI
Chara looked so short back then. "short".

Oh man... no commentators and you can clearly hear Getzy and Jack Johnson going at each other with loud distinct F bombs (Johnson checked Perry into the boards) and then having Johnson get pulled away by Orpik.
So good.
He's a little baby girl that hates to be ignored.
Kinda like my ex "HEY I SAW YOU COMMENT ON SOMEONES STATUS ON FACEBOOK AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T REPLIED TO MY MESSAGE".
Calm your shit, citizen.

Forgot to mention this tweet was directed at Ryan Whitney.
Hall called him, he didn't pick up and then tweeted and Hall acted like a little bitch.
That reminded me to check out if there are more drunk tweets from Kane/Seguin - there aren't. Stats-update from the Swiss League, bolds don't work in code, so I had to make a star.

Hey if Linus Omark comes back to the NHL is he on waivers or FA?
EDIT: Weird watching this game again while sober... Never actually noticed but Kesler is pretty much the reason Crosby is constantly shutdown in this game. KESLER. There's your Selke fap right there.

Looking at all the NHL Player, only Pacioretty and Thornton are doing "badly". Everyone else is doing around 1pt/g. But then, Pacioretty has only played 5 games, so we'll see.

red wings bullshit. they're going to merge him and bruunstrom to forge a decent player
Red Wings signed him this summer straight from the Swiss league where he was/is doing great. Wild card how he'll do in NA, was gonna be interesting.

A friend passed me this article today. One of the commenters makes a salient point about the 1:1 comparison the author makes between Fehr v MLB and Fehr v NHL: NHL owners who own their arenas have multiple sources of revenue, whereas MLB owners pretty much only could get revenue from baseball.

I'm kind of sick of all the crap written about Fehr on how's some sort of God and can get whatever he wants because he is Donald Fehr and the NHL should just accept his demands before they really piss him off.
This isn't baseball, there is no strike he can launch, no collusion suit he can file and none of the owners relies on their NHL team to stay in the black.

Everytime I see Fehr and his smug face I want to punch the crap out of him.
These rumbles of decertification are terrifying. It's hard to see it as anything other than a scare tactic, but god dammit. The length these buffoons will go to "win" this CBA is making it harder and harder to even care about this fucking league.

Pacioretty isn't in Europe anymore, he got injured while there and had conflicts with the coach who wasn't playing him much afaik. He only played those 5 games.
Nice to see Diaz doing well in Europe too, hopefully he can translate that over to NA ice in 2014.
So i'm going ice skating at the Ponda Center tomorrow. Perks of being a season ticket holder. Thinking of recording exclusive video footage for NHL-GAF. I'm not the best skater so i'll probably eat it if i recorded exclusive insider never before seen footage of my skills. We shall see...
