Just ran out to get a shawarma and the guy behind the counter looked like a dead ringer of Kevin Bieksa.
Maybe that's what he is doing during the lockout.

Goddamn, I am shitting myself with nervous over this job application I have with my friend's company.
What will you be doing?
SpectreFire

Recruiting and resource management for a top Canadian web consulting firm :/
I'm apparently competing against MBAs with 10+ years of experience.

That is literally what my friend told me. He said those MBAs are probably going to be disqualified because they're overqualified and the company doesn't want to pay them that much. They're specifically looking for a new grad. It also helps that I have an internal referral and can get inside knowledge on the company and what they're looking for.
And my friend is the hirer's life coach.
Plus, I think most of my competition are going to be business grads, and considering I'm not a business student, I have that distinction of being an absolute tool.
It's still scary though, because I have zero experience in that field, so I'm really going in blind. But I think I'm smart enough to pick up the job very quickly, and I should have enough transferable skills to make the transition easy.
I would buy a P90X game. I'm not even kidding.
I wish you all the best, SpectreFire.

We could have had real hockey next week. I hope everyone involved gets very irritating paper cuts.

I need November games to be canceled so I can get refunded for tickets I bought. I might then buy AHL Live for the Hershey Bears or for the Admirals.
That he is! What line would you put him in?

If Koivu is centering the third line - second.
Jen from Anaheim Calling thinks he's trade bait.

Our new power forward.
Kessel has really let himself go.
He's being honest man.
As things are now it feels what he's saying is very possible.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Bob McKenzie said:
Mine too, Bob. Mine too.
I don't exactly get this. Does he mean that we'll have a brand new crop of free agents next summer because the year is lost?
Yeah.. i think that's what he is saying
Rodeo Clown
All aboard! The Love train!
It means that if somebody was supposed to be a free agent in July 2013, they'll still be a free agent. They just don't get the luxury of getting paid or a contract year this season.

That cant be right. Last lockout didnt count as a year of service I dont think.
Didn't it?
Maybe I'm imagining things but didn't they grant a few days for teams to resign guys who became free agents while the season was gone?
Rodeo Clown
All aboard! The Love train!
You're right. The year was wiped out, as players are signed for years, not seasons.

Probably felt bad for him and let him win since he will be on an NHL team that no one cares about.
Sucks if true.

The scariest part of Bob's tweets, is when he said that if we lose the entire season, then there's a good chance the following season will also be affected.

As soon as the PA hired Fehr, I knew the NHL was completely fucked. Things will never be the same.

Yeah, that would be pretty crazy. Would take hockey years to recover in this country.

The die hard fans would still be there. The casual sports fan would go right on not giving a shit. The NHL doesn't have far to drop so it wouldn't take as long to get back to where it is.

Yup, NHL is already screwed.

I'd say a good number of teams will disappear if Bob's worst case scenario come true. A couple more will disappear if he puts in an MLB system.
Do yeah Fehr will destroy the NHL as we know it.
No teams disappeared after the last lockout. I don't see it happening here either. Phoenix is the only team that will be gone and it has nothing to do with the lockout.
An MLB system will NEVER happen.
Once the NHLPA starts cracking, Fehr won't have the power to do shit.
