1. OTT didn't discloved a LNTC when they traded Dadanov? Ok dipshits it was on freaking Cap Friendly we all can see that.
That's the part that really annoys me. It was public knowledge, and even if it wasn't for some reason, wouldn't a copy of the contract be transferred during the transaction? So Ottawa is being punished because Vegas doesn't read documents?


Also more than a bit ironic that the league is punishing Ottawa for failing to disclose an important detail about an asset under transaction that would have materially affected the value of said asset, while the NHL failed to disclose an important detail (or 2) about the state of an asset under transaction that would have materially affected the value of said asset.

Someone should go nuts with anti-trust laws...

Love the game. Can't stand the league.

Random bit of info I learned from the penalty box timekeeper before the NSH-TOR game. TOI is not tracked by 12 gnomes with stopwatches. Apparently they sew a chip into the back right shoulderblade of the jersey, and its all done using computers.

Same way they track other advanced stats like distance skated, speed, etc.

Now someone can tell me this changed like 10 years ago........

I don't really understand it either. If I was trading for a player I would want my legal team to go through his contract before final approval was given. I mean who wouldn't?

Dorion is a first class dipshit but this should never have really been an issue. Like, in a well run league all this would have to be disclosed on the trade call with the league. It's all so stupid, starting with the main perpetrator.

I am perplexed how this can anyway be Ottawa’s fault?

There's 650 million reasons why it's not the Knights fault.
Funny how both of their recent penalties have been based on making Vegas suffer in one way or another. Guess you don't fuck with the house.


Makes you wonder if the Blackhawks would have actually been punished if the video coach had r*ped a blackjack dealer or showgirl and not some prospect.

Well you knew it was only a matter of time...No penalty called either.

It will be a glorious day when the slew foot is gone from the game.

Ref right there looking at it...Does he think Liljegren went down of his own accord? Classic can-opener, I don't even think it was that much of a slew-foot, but certainly a penalty.

Marchand knew what he was doing. He hooked his left toe inside the ankle and pushed it forward enough to lighten it. Not a PK Subban level foul but...

Also, I had to step out, did Reaves beat Marchand up for that or did the resident tough guy do nothing after seeing the Leafs’ already thin defensive core get even thinner at the hands of one of the dirtiest players in the league?

Sharks:

The only teams to lose more consecutive games from the start of a season are the New York Rangers in 1943-44 and the Arizona Coyotes in 2017-2018 and 2021-2022. Those teams all lost 11 straight games to start their respective seasons.

going back to last season sharks have lost 34 of their last 39 games
