Breaking. A group representing the #Edmonton Oilers, including team president, owner was in Seattle today taking a tour of Key Arena. #NHL
I want Seattle to get a team.
Seattle Thunder
:jnc
Today is the first day (the vote just passed earlier in the morning) Hansen could shop for teams so this is happening really quite fast. Will be awesome to have an NHL team in Seattle.
Seattle Metropolitans is the only name that should be considered.Thunderbirds is a traditional hockey name here lol. Though I like Totems the most so far I think.
It has great history but "the Seattle Metros" is too easy of a joke to make.Seattle Metropolitans is the only name that should be considered.
First, the players state the owners are a) asking them for a 24% reduction in salary and b) trying to change the definition of HRR so they will actually be getting even LESS. The players also state they don't want to give up ANY current dollars (calculated by them to be $1.881 Billion). They are willing to give up some future dollars but don't want to give up ANY of the current. They are steadfast on this and on the surface, seems like during negotiations they should be able to get close to that, at least. Now we look at the numbers.
The 57% of HRR that the players received in the last year of the just expired collective bargaining agreement ("CBA") was $1.689 Billion. THAT is the money they earned in 2011-2012. THAT is current dollars. Then where did the $1.881 Billion number come from that everyone at the NHLPA is throwing around? That is what they WOULD BE entitled to receive if the CBA was for the 2012-13 season using the most recent % of HRR. But the agreement doesn't cover 2012-13. They aren't entitled to that money. They just pulled that out of thin air and say they are entitled to it.
This page now is dedicated to Kovalev.
I just accidentally traded Bryzgalov for Brent Johnson.
My last save is like two years ago..
At least I have Gibson who is basically a starter at this point..
So is the "Dead Wangs", "Maple Laffs", "WTF are the Florida Panthers", etc etc. If you decide not to use a good team name because of that then the terrorists win.It has great history but "the Seattle Metros" is too easy of a joke to make.
Panthers actually exist in the Everglades..So is the "Dead Wangs", "Maple Laffs", "WTF are the Florida Panthers", etc etc. If you decide not to use a good team name because of that then the terrorists win.
Lol @ the oilers moving
Gimme a break
Breaking news!
Edmonton Oilers officially relocate to Seattle as the Thunder Totems.
Mass Suicide ensues in the City of Edmonton.

I meant more if a play on "metro-sexual". Metros is short hand of that, hence the name could cause problems.
Read that on hfboards, best analysis yet. And has Katz been taking pills from his own pharmacy?For those following the (lack of) CBA negotiations, here's a little blog post on the massive spin put on by the NHLPA (and how Bettman's offer was nowhere near as bad as it was):

They're even dumber (or greedier) than I thought.
Seattle Cobains

Seattle Shotguns.
Seattle Shotguns.
Crazed might just switch fanbases.
It is tempting, but they wouldn't have Datsyuk...
By the time hockey is back, neither will Detroit.
Ladies, Gentlemen and Canadians! feel free to get some laughs watching our National Football League, if you haven't noticed they have a bunch of scab refs working due to a strike and it may be some of the best comedy i've seen in years. NFL thread is exploding right now.

Let's get a reaction from a member of the mass suicide crowd:
Hand egg or not! I've never seen officiating as shit as that outside of the World Cup.
This picture where is it from?
I was watching the game and unfortunately nodded off right after GB's go-ahead TD. I woke up about half-hour ago to HUNDREDS of new tweets and immediately knew that something happened with the refs. This shit is incredible. Who needs the NHL?Ladies, Gentlemen and Canadians! feel free to get some laughs watching our National Football League, if you haven't noticed they have a bunch of scab refs working due to a strike and it may be some of the best comedy i've seen in years.

Yo Katz, the tactic Lemieux pulled on Pittsburgh isn't going to work on Oiler fans.
Stop digging yourself into a deeper hole.
But...It could possibly be just a visit to check things out like he did in Quebec City last year. I don't like the timing though.
The Oilers are not going to move, if they did, expect Tunisa/Egypt/Libya levels up uprising.
Not Van-City Game 7 2011 levels though, that shit crossed the line.
Thank you for reading.
As bad as the World Cup!?
Are we talking soccer now? Because the South Korea/Japan world cup had some hilarious officiating. Remember the australian guy who got 3 yellow cards?
