ERIK BIG DICK CONDRA 2 year deal has an average annual cap hit of $1.25 mil.

That's a good deal.

 

[Red_Man]

You can't talk about SSX without mentioning NBA Street

I hate basketball, and I hate basketball games, but I played the shit out of this. So much fun and the music was great.

 

[Cake Boss]

That's a good deal.

I like him, hes basically a carbon copy of Chris Kelly when he was here, does everything so well but has hands of stone around the net, rarely hurts you and our best PKer.

Now do Cowman and Weirdcock pls.

 

[Marvie_3]

.

That's a great deal for the Bruins.

Same here. NBA Jam for 360 is awesome too.

Yep every team needs guys like that.

Although I think our PK might be fucked this year, losing Alfie and Silfverberg who played a lot on the PK. They were crazy lucky the goaltending was that good last year.

Need to stop taking so many penalties, it feels like this team spends one period out of three shorthanded.

Yeah I am guessing Pageau would be replacing much of Silfver's minutes, but not sure whos going to replace Alfie's PK minutes, maybe Turris will get a larger role now that he doesnt have to play 1st line minutes plus 1st PP.

Looks so goddamn wrong.

Won't Redden be honored by Ottawa at some point too?

 

[Red_Man]

Ryan should have taken 11

 

[KernelPanic]

Won't Redden be honored by Ottawa at some point too?

Honored for what? Sure he was good here for a time and did lots of good charity work in town.

His game went south awfully fast, and he used his NTC to prevent us from trading him while he had value. Our only consolation was getting a good laugh at what Sather gave him.

Don't do drugs if you're a pro hockey player or you end up like him.

Ryan should have taken 11

Not gonna happen, that number will be retired in a few years time.

 

[Cake Boss]

Yeah then it come back and decide to go to Detroit' rafters at the last minute.

I think it will blow over in a few years, people forget. One dick move doesn't undo 17 years of good.

People worship athletes a bit too much, they're ultimately loyal to themselves and their bank account first.

 

[Red_Man]

LOL

People aren't going to forget their captain and franchise player bailing on the team. That being said I doubt it be much of an issue.

I always remember hearing rumblings of this, but only faintly. Could you expand?

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Ah Yeah!

 

[KernelPanic]

No they won't forget but the anger will subside. He was more than loyal to the team under contract. He was free to leave and unfortunately he did. Lots of franchise players leave their team and people get eventually get over it.

It's not like Yashin or Heatley who screwed the team over while they were under a contract they signed.

 

[Cake Boss]

Ah Yeah!

 

[ATF487]

I feel like Bergeron and Rask should have gotten each other's contracts.

Yeah, I think so too. But I'm happy to have them both locked up

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Sens are winning the cup. Anderson, Karlsson, Ryan, MacArthur. NHL will be destroyed and laugh at Alfie for the rest of time.

Chicago Blackhawks ‏@NHLBlackhawks
GM Stan Bowman on negotiations with RFA Marcus Kruger: "We're very close." Expects a deal to be done in the next few days. #Blackhawks

 

[KernelPanic]

When he played for the Sens I remember hearing constant rumors that he was a cokehead. I knew people who saw him around town at bars and they said he was high as a kite.

Supposedly we had a bunch of guys in the room at the time who were hooked on coke. Heatley, Emery, Redden and McGrattan were the names I heard the most often.

Would be fucking nuts if they won it this year without Alfie.

 

[Kave_Man]

Sens vs. Wings round 1, game 7 winner scored by Bobby Ryan as it deflects off Alfie.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

If that ever happened, I would probably cry myself to death in sadness.

The best part is the CBJ, DET and DAL twitter accounts agreeing and RTing it.

That's not even the best part, Marvie! He wants Q locked up long term too!

Yeah then it come back and decide to go to Detroit' rafters at the last minute.

Civil rights leader calls for council investigation

Just when you thought the Phoenix Coyotes saga was over, a new group is asking the Arizona Attorney General to launch an investigation.

Arizona civil rights activist Rev. Jarrett Maupin and Councilmember Norma Alvarez held a press conference July 11 asking the attorney general to investigate if Glendale City Council violated the state’s gift clause.

 

[Acid08]

LOL

Civil rights leader calls for council investigation

Alvarez going hard. She's gonna expose these crooks!

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I want to know what his hookup is. I'm so confused.

Also first SSX game was awesome.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe he idles for items, turns into metal, trades for keys ???, gets games, profit?

I've spent over $100 with him so far without issue so he's the guy I go to first now.

 

[KernelPanic]

LOL

Civil rights leader calls for council investigation

Goldwater isn't protesting it this time strangely enough.

 

[bonesmccoy]

In the letter sent to the attorney general, they argue that, “It has come to our attention that individual members of the Glendale City Council may have undeclared conflicts of interest, financial ties, and the expectation of gain in regards to the financing of re-election efforts related to this recent agreement.”

Heh.

 

[Alucard]

Heh.

This fight isn't over yet! YES!

 

[Marvie_3]

Heh.

Zero surprise there.

 

[Red_Man]

Heh.

You don't say.

 

[Samyy]

Politicians with financial conflicts of interests?
Impossible.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Maupin also called out Councilman Sam Chivera for telling his constituents one thing and doing the opposite.

“I can say for myself that I met with several councilmen before the vote and (Chivera) changed his vote,” the reverend said. “I don’t think it is a coincidence that his vote, or others, changed after maximum campaign contributions from Nick Woods (attorney for IceArizona) among others.”

Wasn't Chivera the guy who engaged in that horribly forced 'banter' with the lawyer from RSE?

 

[Samyy]

Wasn't Chivera the guy who engaged in that horribly forced 'banter' with the lawyer from RSE?

yea
honestly it felt super fixed, like he was reading from some kind of horrible script

 

[Marvie_3]

Wasn't Chivera the guy who engaged in that horribly forced 'banter' with the lawyer from RSE?

Yeah. He is also a firefighter, claimed he was against the Coyotes deals, got elected with the help of firefighter/police unions, then sold them out during voting.

Chicago Blackhawks @NHLBlackhawks

The #Blackhawks have agreed to terms with RFA Marcus Kruger on a two-year deal. http://bit.ly/1azSrYs

Oh, Arizona.

I hope somehow these ties get back to Bettman. That would be amazing.

 

[RC]

Who would buy a jersey for a player who hasn't played for their team first? Seems way too risky.

Just put "potential" on the back. It can apply for the whole team!
