NHL has agreement with gosbee to purchase coyotes but needs issues to be worked out

Issues means they need a huge AMF

On Tuesday, if they don't get their AMF, coyotes are likely going to Quebec and it will possibly be announced later that night or next day

That's what I wanted to hear. Time to realign the realignment.

Lmao tonight MLB must have sent a memo to its umps telling them to show those whiny hockey fans how good they have it with their shitty refs.

You might need to watch the second one closely... not only did the first baseman stretch too far so his foot wasn't on the bag when the runner got to it but.... lmao
Loved both of those. Second video is incredible. I doubt that's ever happened before.

No NHL 14 for next gen consoles this year :'(
Good news is we're not divided between generations then for GM Connected, though I won't bother picking it up unless they fix the load times and other features.

What do you guys think of hitting being banned in peewee hockey? Thumbs up from me.

Ultimately I think it's a good thing to ban it but I also wonder if this will cause kids once they do hit the age that they can check to just be a lot more reckless with it.

I don't know a whole lot about everything going on behind the scenes but have they looked into better coaching at the peewee level to teach these kids how to check properly?

I would love to see the Nordiques again.

My post from when it was originally proposed :

I'm A OK with this. Let the kids focus on developing their skill sets first, doesn't mean hitting will be eliminated in higher levels.

This will probably result in more parents allowing their kids to play now too.

Bob McKenzie has been retweeting some tweets he's been getting from idiots about the ban in Peewee. @BenchPress69 has some probing insights.

2 minds about it:
1. Kids grow differently and some children are much tougher at that age and can hurt other kids. Also hitting on ice is an art, very easy for kids to cause serious injuries. No contact also offers more development on skills, which is better for development.

On the other hand being physical is a very large part of the game. Bodychecking is essential to learning defenseman. Teaching kids to take and receive hits is an essential part of the game.

Ultimately I think it is the right choice of pee wee.

This is the least surprising thing in the history of the world.

Let's get this out of the way now:

John Tortorella is probably not going anywhere.

Brad Richards is probably going to be bought out.

The Rangers will re-sign Ryan McDonagh, Ryane Clowe, Mats Zuccarello, Carl Hagelin, and Derek Stepan. They will probably not re-sign any other free agents on the roster, with the possible exception of maybe a couple minor league guys like Mashinter.

We will be shopping for third pairing defensemen. Maybe a bottom six forward or two as well, but that's less of a priority.

And that's what you guys can expect from the Rangers over the next few months.

To me it makes no sense to continue with Tortorella.

"I expected more for us and I hoped for more...it's an empty feeling...I am so disappointed" - Henrik Lundqvist


Tortorella is well liked within the organization, and more importantly NO Rangers beat reporters have mentioned a thing about Torts being sacked. In fact, quite the opposite, they all say there are no rumblings that the team is thinking about getting rid of him. Firing Tortorella isn't even on the radar. Or at least it wasn't. Now that we're done with the season, things could always change, but for now that's how it is.

The team also wants to see a bunch of our prospects go through a full version of Tortorella's infamous training camps, too.

We do need to do something about the power play, though. It's been a consistent problem for years now. I don't know if we need to bring in an assistant coach to be a special teams specialist or what, but something needs to be done to address that.

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Am I the only one here who doesn't like AD? I tried to get into it, but I just can't get over feeling terribly bad for Michael for having such a terribly crappy and dumb family that it kills every joke/funny situation that happens. I think the only scene I found actually hilarious was the "hermano" scene.

I've never even watched it. Too many people I can't stand are in that show.
