Indeed it is. New Sabbath is okay too
I feel like I missed the chance to comment on the latest news from Phoenix a couple of days ago but here goes: that sounds like a whole bunch of bullshit right? The rumour of the 5 year loan with the option to give the team back to the NHL so they can move it in 5 years and avoid the transfer fee is total nonsense right? I simply can't accept that the rumours I heard from Hockey Central are even remotely... oh shit. Hockey Central. n/m

Oh shit. Competition committee has decided to grandfather in visors.
Hybrid icing will also be tested in preseason and 4-minute high sticking penalties can be reviewed by video.

Shallower nets to make more room behind them as well.
Richards is getting amnestied no matter what, the only question is whether it's this year or next. His contract is flat out impossible to maintain considering the likelihood is that he was going to retire with two or three years left on the clock, which would have had MASSIVE cap hit penalties (I think I saw something like a $17 million cap hit per year or something like that mentioned if he retires early), which would make it utterly impossible for the team to be competitive for those years.
My guess is that he gets bought out this year not so much because of his performance during the year (though that didn't help) but more because there's no guarantee he'll be healthy enough to be bought out next year.
The only other possible out would be putting him on LTIR at the starts of those final seasons, but I don't know if you can justify it for as long as they may need to.
Digging the competition committee changes.
Really? Lol, still barking up that tree huh NHL.

Mandatory visors, hybrid icing and 4 minute high sticking reviews are GOOD. I welcome these changes.

Pronger, after the cyborg implants.
Refs blow the whistle if it looks like a player is going to cleanly touch the puck.
Wiki:
The Sedins would benefit though
All European players would.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
It's pretty good. Weird pacing on it, though; starts off rather slow.
Basically, yeah.
Hybrid Icing is good.
Mandatory Visors is awesome.
Shallower nets is.. Uh... What? I guess more room for Henrik to dangle?
More room to avoid further Edler/Smith-like confrontations?
New Dallas Stars logo and jerseys.
Seriously needs that gold.
Agreed. These just look weird. What's with the starbucks logo-like shoulder patch.

God, jerseys are getting so fucking boring. Those stripes are atrocious. Same deal with the new Hurricanes jerseys.
They got rid of the unique aspects (piping and flag patch on shoulders, pattern on hem) AND shrunk the logo for some reason.

Fucking awful, fits the Stars perfectly.

Is it just the way the jersey is hanging, or is the logo completely off-center? It doesn't look right.
It's never going to fly. It's pure bullshit.
All good changes.
If I was a stars fan, I'd be drinking your tears
Okay troll, what exactly is good about that logo?

This shit looks awful familiar and not in a good way.
Fucking racist.
I want to congratulate the Stars for not having a red&blue or black sweater. I must however rescind the congrats in light of that mediocre logo. Sorry Dallas, but please ensure the Stars have a home game against the Jets next time I'm there thx.
Carolina is just pretty boring, but honestly the designer who was given "the personification of a hurricane as a sports team crest... go!" job back in '97 burst into tears or hanged himself so what can you really do. I still maintain there's like 6 good team name/logo/uniform combinations in all NA pro sports and the vast majority of the rest fall in the bland-to-bad spectrum.

I'll take bland over those abominations that were introduced in the 90s anyday.
It's racist against people that don't reply with "racist"
