this is so wrong
I like it, but it needs more white elements, so it isn't overwhelmingly black.
The stripes on the arms and socks could be thicker, and maybe even horizontal stripes near the hem at the bottom.

You are the worst kind of Habs Fan.
Stamkos needs Toronto
Toronto needs Stamkos.
It must be done.
I know
I just hate to know he'll be in Toronto next year
although the media over there will most likely destroy him so that's good for us I guess

Hey NBC, shake yourselves.
"mos notoriety"
I, for one, welcome all ex Ovechkin linemates to beautiful Glendale, Arizona.
The Brooklyn Islanders
Of all the looks to try and copy, the LA Kings aren't one of them.
Why wouldnt he? He hasnt been arrested or charged with anything yet and may never be.
PK Subban. Good Ontario Kid. Good Toronto Kid. Thumbs up.
Pretty much. He's technically free to attend camp.
I guess it's more about the baggage he's bringing to camp, and whether or not it's best to keep him away from the team for the time being due to the distractions that come along.

I thought you guys may know as I can't find it anywhere on google.
What are the highest direct contributions to charity by NHL players?
Only ones I could find is the absolutely incredible donation by PK of $10m and Sedins at $1.5m, both to children hospitals.
I see a lot of "raised by" statements but most of the direct contributions by googling Crosby, Ovechkin, etc are small amounts like $20k here, a car here, etc. Or it talks about their foundations, but how much of their money goes to their foundation?
I'm trying to see if NHL players are actually charitable with their money or mainly just with their time?

WTF.
I don't think it really matters. Charity shouldn't be a dick swinging contest.

I think Saku Koivu donated money for a Cancer Treatment thing in Montreal years ago. But I think PK might have made the most biggest Contribution.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic...
anyway, the NHL can't just wave off allegations of this serious nature because there is no charge laid. he shouldn't be involved in any hockey activities for now. but they're being passive because he's a star player, as usual.
Sure it does. I am more impressed by Bill Gates then most others in the realm of charitable giving because he has a much bigger impact and a much higher ratio.
I wouldn't discredit anyone, but I would be more impressed by others for sure.

this is so wrong
It's so dour and plain. This is like the Warrior Within of hockey jerseys; needlessly serious.
(For reference, the new Ducks 3rd matches the whimsy of PoP 2008 and the Canada Cup jerseys are Sands of Time.)
Anything helps when it comes to charity. $10 million is a huge sum of money, but the contributions of thousands of people (in any form they choose) is also significant.
It's good to see charitable athletes, but measuring their contributions purely from a monetary standpoint is shallow. Bill Gates not only contributes a lot of money, but also his time. On the other hand, some people are able to put in more time than money and vise versa.
I'm just trying to outline how to play the right way.

That's really what they're going with as the 3rd jersey? Not a fan at all. It's so plain and uninspired.
Also real props to Subban for 10 million dollar donation to children's hospital. I'd be hard pressed to find many athletes who would donate that much.
Sad thing is most athletes don't have that type of money, even with their huge contracts.
Except they can and should. How is it fair to him to be punished for something that may not even be true? Suspending him without charges is basically saying he's guilty without any proof. That's not how it works.
Exactly.
Well done PK.
this is so wrong
It's so ugly. And plain.
Honestly, I agree with Quick. It's not only about the money. Donating your time is also valuable. You also can't really judge impact. Sure, the work that Bill Gates does impacts a large number of people but an individual can also a huge impact on another person.
There are also several people who do quite a bit of charity work or donations but it's not reported because it's low key.
And ugly

My mind is playing the lead in to Baby got Back reading this. I can't help myself.
To add to it charity work is not only about $$ spent but how much you can improve the quality of life for another selflessly. There are players like Gudbranson who have a small (12-15) group of pediatric cancer patients who he rents a suite for, gives locker room tours etc etc. Helping people is not a competition.
He wouldn't be getting punished. He would be given paid leave. That is pretty standard when an employee is being criminally investigated. The NHL doesn't need to put its fingers in its ears and pretend there was no wrongdoing. It looks really bad on the league right now, and it will look 100x worse if he does get charged. It's pretty pathetic tbh that Kane could potentially play games right now while this is happening. I'm really surprised you're OK with it.
If the player was Sean Avery or John Scott instead of Kane, not only would he be suspended, he would be crucified and declared guilty everywhere including here

Lol Kane already is.

well yeah, to us non-Chicago bandwagonners
Curious about the 3 on 3. Thanks for posting the sched Meta. I have Tuesdays off now so I'll get to see the rangers and flyers do it.
My schedule has me occupied most Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and some Fridays until 10pm or later for the forseeable future. This is not ideal in the world of hockey =/

Exactly. If and when Kane is charged/etc, then throw whatever book you want at him.
