Who?? Sure they have no Hossa, not even Marcel for some reason, but I don't know who this other mysterious better player other than Chara, Gaborik, or Sekera is.

Still fun to watch. It's hockey so give a shit at 10:30 am when it's this or Fucking kaplan vomitting bs.

Lol, thought you meant Slovakia

Fuck you Clyde, how dare you forget about Kopecky

 

[ClydeLee]

Fuck you Clyde, how dare you forget about Kopecky

He's actually on the team, he was their #1 center to start the tourney to show how "loaded" that roster is.

Also, why didn't Nick Leddy join team USA, he surely isn't injured, he always plays, that jerk.

Can the Blackhawks sue him for being awful and stealing their money?

Not sure what they are going to get out of suing the league. I mean you cannot, which his father is claiming, not think that hockey is a dangerous game and that their is a chance to result in potential long term injury. To think other wise is ignorant and plain moronic.

If I'm an NHL franchise, whenever I sign a player I make sure it's in their contract that they understand the risks of playing the game and that the team isn't eligible to be sued. Though, I'd also make sure as a team that I'm doing the most I can to help keep my players healthy and avoiding concussions.

You act like there isn't a precedent already for the leagues having to deal with these suits and giving out money to adjust their policy.

The teams are hampered by a collectively bargained agreement on what at some limits can be added or placed in contracts or what will fly for a contract that a team puts if they take their own stand. Sure if the NHLPA didn't want to have a say that system would work but these associations make sure that this isn't some case that is built in, and it still hasn't been added by the leagues in recent CBAs.

That would be part of my CBA argument as an owner, though if I make that argument I'm also going to be damn sure that the players get the absolute best care possible while under contract.

So much for the Flyers going after Babcock. They took UND Coach Hakstol instead.

The Philadelphia Flyers on Monday announced Dave Hakstol as their new coach.Hakstol, 46, had been the coach at the University of North Dakota for the previous 11 seasons.
"I am extremely excited to be named the Philadelphia Flyers new head coach," Hakstol told the Flyers website. "Through the process here with Ron [Hextall, Flyers general manager] and everybody in the Flyers organization I have gained even more of an understanding of the history and tradition of this organization and I'm very proud to become part of the Philadelphia Flyers today."

O.O

I didn't see that coming...

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Hextall hired Hakstol?

Todd McClellan being the next Oilers coach is practically a done deal.
