Okposo asking for 7x7. Eh... I'd love Okposo, but that's a lot.

Edit: That's per Renaud Lavoie.

Okposo isn't worth it. This is going to be a mistake for Sabres. Don't give that Stamkos Money

Off topic but got an email this morning that The Avalanches' new album Wildflower is up on Apple Music. How long has it been? 15 years?

 

[MultiJhonny]

On this day 2 years ago.. Claude Giroux grabbed butts. The butts of Ottawa police officers. This day is a day that lives in infamy and one of the greatest days of our lives.

Butts

The return of Dale Weise to the Montreal Canadiens is a real possibility. Habs are a strong contender. Hoping to add more character.

HAHAHAHA more character. Oh Habs

 

[Cake Boss]

Bergevin saw the recent cup winners and said 'no thnks fams, I do me'

 

[yyzjohn]

Since when does Darren "my only source is cousin Nonis" Dreger ever had a reliable source in the last 2 years?

 

[zroid]

what the fuck is Bergevin doing? He was having a really good run as a GM for a while there.

now he's gone full Nonis, overreacting to one bad season. (Nonis overreacted to one good season though)

Never go full Burke or Benning

Because this sounds plausible

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians and Happy Friday to the rest of you

That seems alright

Man I'm glad we got rid of Cowen, he would've pulled the same shit with us to try to get his 4.5m(probably would've had a visit from Uncle Eugene and his hired muscle if he did), what a lazy ass bum.

I've been dropping hints all week at work to my superiors to close the office for the weekend or an extra day, but they didn't bite. Fridays are my days off, so I don't get an extra day off to make up for Canada Day. I asked my boss about getting any time off this weekend and apparently there's no requirement for them to make up for a holiday that falls under when the office is closed.

Wooooo.

It's not actually all that bad, I'll probably just watch out for any meltdowns that happens in the NHL this weekend.

Happy Canada Day everyone!

@tsnscottcullen: Free agent signings brought in for "character" that helped their team win - go:

Lol

That doesn't sound right to me. I'll ask the wife - she's the lawyer, but I was always under the impression that you got a day in lieu if a stat holiday fell on a day you already had off.

Edit: at least in Ontario they're breaking the law.

i'm not an expert but i'm fairly sure they're supposed to compensate you if you don't work on a holiday but you were available to (like if you have a variable schedule). I remember getting paid extra days because of that when I worked in a grocery store

 

[Cake Boss]

Yeah unless you are under contract or part time, you should get paid for holidays.

@MHoffy68: 🍁🍁 Happy Canada Day!! 🍁🍁

This is a sign, he won't say its a happy day if he didn't agree to contract? Right guys right...??

The #Habs are one of the team pushing for the defensemen Kris Russell.

That's right Bergevin, show the Leafs who is the superior bidder. Go on!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Flyers interested in Weise.

I'm absolutely okay with this

In the US at least, if a holiday falls on a normal day off (like if the 4th of July is on a Sunday), the company that is recognizing the holiday has to put the day off on a surrounding day. So using the Sunday 4th of July example, the day off would be on Monday the 5th. I'm pretty sure you can't deny some employees the recognized holiday day off just because their schedule normally has them off work on the day that it falls on in that particular year.

Regressive Canada strikes again.

Report: Oilers will offer Milan Lucic a 7-year contract worth at least $42M.

Hmmm

 

[yyzjohn]

Hmmm

Sounds about right. McKenzie was saying he was hearing 7 year deal for at least $6M maybe even $6.5M

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hmmm

But why

 

[Merguson]

Travis Yost said Alex Radulov signed with Montreal?

That is basically exactly how it works here, with a few exceptions. Contract employees, some part-time employees.

 

[imBask]

Radulov to the Habs

Radulov and Perron might kill me today

EDIT : oh god it's not a joke?!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Radulov to the Habs

WHAT

 

[Cake Boss]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Fata1moose]

There's your character Habs. :LOL

 

[zroid]

If Lucic ends up making $6M/yr that's actually not too bad. But I still think he's going to decline rapidly.

edit: what the fuck Habs. Okay...

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

All this extra Stamcock money getting burned

 

[imBask]

I don't believe you on Radulov, I won't, I can't

 

[Simon Belmont]

I don't really care what the Leafs do as long as it's not longer than three two years.

 

[Fata1moose]

Thanks for taking one for the team Montreal. <3

 

[yyzjohn]

Bergevin didn't take long in addressing the need for a locker room cancer after the departure of PK. Good move on Radulov.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Travis Yost said Alex Radulov signed with Montreal?

No way.

Therrien and Radulov :lololol

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Over/Under of Radulov back in Russia by January?

 

[Fata1moose]

PK donates 10 million to a children's hospital and has supposed character issues. Radulov punches his coach on video yet he's fine.

Hmmmm.

 

[DopeyFish]

I may die of laughter if habs sign radulov after trading subban for supposed character issues

like trading a firecracker for a hand grenade

 

[CreeperBlocks]

You trade your best Defenceman because you couldn't handle his flamboyant personality and yet you sign an actual locker room cancer in Radulov?

 

[Kave_Man]

My boy Creeper doesn't deserve this.

 

[Red_Man]

How do you preach character for 5 years then sign Radulov?

Bergevin has obviously decided to go all in, it's a cup in 2 years or he's working at Burger King, and it's pretty obvious he despised PK at this point.

 

[imBask]

we trade PK because of an attitude problem
we sign Radulov 2 days later

Bergevin might be retarded, like not in a joke way i'm serious

 

[MPW]

radulov?

there goes any hope i had for today

way to ruin Canada Day for me

i won't be surprised if price asks to be traded at trade deadline or next summer
