Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[dash]

Randy Carlyle better not be employed come Halloween.

Canadian Halloween or American Halloween?

/Works better with Thanksgiving

Probably good news in the long run. Looked like it could be worse.

Guess the Leafs will just have to survive with Tavares, Marner, Marleau, Kadri and Kapanen until they can sign Nylander and get him in.




Fuck. It's really not fair, is it?

 

[esls79]

Across all sports head coaches and managers getting the sack and Randy Carlyle still has a job. WTF???

/Carlyle is such crap coach I don’t even make fun of him

[tducey]

Yeah, Carlyle's a meh coach. I'm surprised Anaheim hired him back last yr.

Pontus Aberg had zero goals until Sunday night. He's now the Ducks leading goal scorer.

One could say Pontus is the pilot who is now flying with the ducks

the Roxy Flu is alive and well.

what does he think this is? The NFL?

I'll just say this and I know it was a different time, but Craig MacTavish killed a person driving drunk and he was able to resume his playing career after being away for a while. More recently, Dany Heatley was behind the wheel when he lost control of his car and killed Dan Snyder in a car accident and he continued on with his playing career. Obviously, what Voynoy did was reprehensible, but I think he has paid the price and deserves a chance to resume his playing career.

I can’t see them keeping him out. Many criminals have been reinstated over the years. His conviction has been expunged. He has served a long suspension before leaving and was banned for years as well.
NHLPA will demand an arbitrator if the NHL tries to block him.

That being said I don’t know what team will take him. Kings are close to the cap, and must teams claim they don’t want the baggage he brings.

Now watch, the Kings are forced to keep him and he scores the GWG I game 7

For sure. I was more making a joke at the NFL's expense.

However, if I was the NHL I would demand to see evidence of real remorse and remediation of what was a pretty serious behaviour/personality problem.

 

[esls79]

I hope the league reinstates him and all the teams black ball him. And any asshat gm that does sign him deserves to have protests led by Gloria Allred out front on game nights.

I guess the NHL could reinstate him independently, but wouldn't he have to go through both US and Canadian immigration clearance? Didn't he leave the US voluntarily because he was probably going to be deported anyhow?

Don't see why the NHL would bother until he's cleared through that process.

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well, you could see a situation where he might not be able to enter Canada if a US team picked him or vice versa with a Canadian team where he's not able to enter the US.

That's why the NHL needs to expand to Singapore - no kinds of visa issues like that. And if you really fuck up they put you to death so there is no need to be reinstated then. Win win in my book.

What about public canings? Do they still do that in Singapore?

Correct - they do not have high sticking penalties in Singapore.

He has already got clearance on July 2 He is now legal free to play. He had this year left on his Kings deal so that may come into play. Bettman will investigate (stall) as long as possible but NHLPA will be forced to fight for Voynov. He had no criminal record (now) and has legal meet all is obligations legally.
