I remember when he gave away the puck to Alex Burrows in game seven.
What an asshole.
What an asshole.
I remember when we gave up a 1st rounder (Palmieri) for that turd.

Too many concussions and head injuries on the NHLPA side.
I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for all the guys on the NHL side who are ceo's, lawyers, mba holders, etc. dealing with people who typically have the same education as an average mcdonalds employee
NFL - high % of players with some form of university education
NBA - high % of players with some form of university education
NHL - 2 + 2 = 13

Let's be fair to the players. They deserve credit too.

The disparity in revenue between rich teams like Toronto and poor teams like Phoenix are larger than they are in other leagues.
Speaking of Phoenix, did anyone buy that team yet?

There's disparity in other leagues too. I think it's more to the fact that there's no massive TV deal like football, baseball, basketball have that helps even things out.
Wouldn't it make more sense to move franchises to northern cities where hockey is more popular?
in the short term, but in the long term it hurts the chances of big tv deal when you have no presence in several major markets
You're probably the last person who will ever ask who he is.I think you're right. And he's also from Mississauga, ON. Thanks
The NHL is NEVER going to get a big TV deal like the other sports.
Owners bein all two faced n shit
Just looked
NBA and MLB there's greater disparity
NFL is close
That's percentage wise.
In actual dollars? NHL has tightest league of the big 4 by a decent margin, which is pretty interesting considering NHL doesn't have a big tv deal.
NHL problems isn't market. It's purely the player share.

The Nope Train rode through and corrected everything.
no, but it can certainly do a lot better than 200m over time

Is it really considered the big 4 or is it the big 3 and the other guys (MLS, NHL, PBA, etc)
Its big 4
NHL revenue is close to NBA (very close) and that's saying a lot considering TV deals. NHL beats NBA on gate and merch.
MLB is NHL and NBA combined
NFL is a couple billion more than that.
MLS all franchises combined has less revenue than the maple leafs...
League minimum salaries
NHL: $525,000
MLB: $480,000
NBA: $473,604
NFL: $390,000
MLS: $33,750
Possibly but the NHL was already a fringe sport to begin with. With the other major sports and UFC/MLS/etc also gaining popularity, there is a lot more competition for tv money now. It'll be decades before the NHL ever sniffs TV revenue of $1B+/year.
The PBA? Really? :lol :lol

It certainly won't be anymore if it ever even was. Time magazine called it a "Wannabe Major Sport"
NASCAR is slightly under NHL at about $3 billion
Time is full of shit.
The only thing holding back the NHL is the TV deals. NHL gate revenue beats NBA and would be decently close to NFL.
If TV is out of the picture, MLB becomes the #1 sport. Yankees have higher gate revenue than Leafs, Lakers and Cowboys combined.
I don't consider NASCAR a sport at all so I wasn't being serious. :lol
Here's how you can see what kind of progress was made:
1. Stand up
2. Spin around in circles a few times
3. Sit back down
I am not responsible for any injuries you may sustain while attempting this
Eh, that was written by the former editor-in-chief of ESPN The Magazine.
And a PBA comparison? :lol

The only thing holding back the NHL is TV Deals and the fact that they don't play any games
