Ongoing NHL Thread - Part Brock and Roll Four Lines

[jstewismybastardson]

oooooooh someone in Vancouver media asked Rick Tocchet for comments about Shane Pinto in light of his past issues with sports gambling ... he answered with "not really the same thing" and left it at that lol should have said "TALK TO JANET!"

one of my long held beliefs (conspiracy theory I guess ) is that CFL players bet on their games. League minimum salary is 65K Canadian. Probably also easier for them to get away with it because I dont think there is the same level of betting activity monitoring for the cdn provincial lottery corps run by government that there is with the syndicates.

Wasn't there a match fixing scandal in the Canadian Soccer League a few years ago? Those guys get paid lunch money.

Semi-pro Canadian Soccer League a hotspot of match-fixing

Few watch its games, but investigators say the Canadian Soccer League is a prime target for corrupt international gamblers.

its was some Ontario semi pro league that was even lower than CSL iirc ... some weekend warrior plugs games and they had millions being bet on them on Euro gambling sites



/my bad it was called the CSL ... i was thinking CSL circa 80's/90's that was legit

// they probably named themselves the canadian soccer league to give it some sort of credibility on betting markets at the time ... if that was possible lol

marketing 101 - MAKE IT SEEM SCARCE!!! lol


/I was going to go to this game with my son but he has to pay to replace the Bauer Sync stick he broke last night at practice so ergo he has signed up to ref 5 games this weekend starting tomorrow night

@forty_three asked me to hack Mathieu Olivier's BetMGM account and see what he's been up to

By the way, can you wait until tomorrow? We need our unlicensed rabid animal tonight because we are playing Montreal and their rabid, unlicensed animal - Xhekajijejk

Technically correct. They are limited by the number of seats actually in the arena.

He's still just 5'7 ish so hes playing with an intermediate stick ... ONLY $369 !!! (not nice!)

/he now has 2 broken Syncs in his collection. the one he previously broke is right at the flex point mid shaft. Ive decided to give this place a try. $70 to repair the stick. worst case scenario he can still use it for practice

*my wife will probably write that letter lol

Picking up the phone would’ve been too much work for ol’ Burkie, apparently.



I listened to this interview this morning, he sounded pretty out of it and also blamed “brainless millennials” or something like that for wanting changes to the draft.

Be nice if he just stuck to the women’s league from here on out.

Hey folks, John Shannon carrying water for Gary and the league, what a shocker...
