A lot of his success was sheer luck.

He was the loser in a bunch of trades.
Bad contracts
He got lucky winning the draft lottery.

What do you guys think?

lol the older i get, the more i realize half of the GM's job is luck. haha

As for JB, i feel if we take his ability to sign UFA's away, he's pretty good of a GM based on drafting and trading.

Man if only Sakic would come back to Vancouver!

OK so the director of player safety runs a clothing line called "Violent Gentleman" which sold a MAGA style hat

NHL is officially a clown fiesta

Every team needs to speak out on this, take the $250K fine if they have to. Get rid of that loser!

Imagine failing this post FailFish

George Parros must have nude pics of Bettman and his bf or something ... how the hell does he have a job as the Director of Player Safety in the NHL? What qualifications does he hold?

Aside from being an NHL goon, he apparently is an economics major from Princeton.

I wonder how he explains the economics behind fining a guy who makes tens of millions and has had many infractions in the past $5000 for ending someone's season?

A lot of people are getting caught up on the $5000 amount for the fine. Keep in mind that this is the maximum allowable fine per the CBA.

It is really on the players to change it if they don't think it is enough.

Personally, I don't think it should be a maximum dollar amount but a maximum percentage of someone's salary.

I'm definitely not defending Parros or Wilson, but those fines are a joke. That's the maximum amount allowed and that's on the NHLPA.

If they actually care about their own player safety, then should raise the maximum to be 20 games of a players salary or something, not 5k per the CBA.

Do some of you actually feel bad for the Rangers? The Rangers really didn't lose anything. A player on another team didn't get suspended. Really has nothing to do with the NYR. Did you guys forget how the NHL gifted them the 2nd overall pick Kaapo Kakko in 2019 when they had the 6th best odds and gifted them the 1st overall pick Alexis Lafreniere in 2020 when they really didn't deserve to draft them? It's almost the NHL's way of saying "hey look *wink wink*, we don't favour the New York Rangers *wink wink*

Maybe suspend him? He's been suspended for like 40 or 50 games in the last 3 or 4 years already. Not to mention the suspension-worthy hits that didn't receive action due to lack of footage

After so many times, when do you just say enough is enough?

Guys seems pretty similar to Vontaze Burfict in the NFL, who has paid over $5 million in fines and has been suspended a total of 1.5 NFL seasons over his career.

Suspend this guy for half a season next time! And then a full season after that! Bet we won't see so many dirty hits after that.

Tyler Minors owes Demko big time

No one feels bad for Rangers specifically.
People just don't like NHL being run like it's a bush league managed by clowns, especially when it comes to player safety. This can easily have a snowball effect leading into more goon hockey.

Fuck I hate seeing knee injuries... not a big fan of Wilson but shitty way to go down

SkinnyPupp 05-08-2021 05:31 PM

Karma was nice and quick this time but he's back on the ice so... meh. Just hope the Flyers player is OK with no long term damage.

Teriyaki 05-08-2021 05:53 PM

Would be real karma if someone went over there, grabbed his head and smashed it into the ice while he was keeled over. Would only cost em $5k.

pastarocket 05-08-2021 07:52 PM

MCDavid gets 100 points in 53 games. Well done!

Only Gretzky, Lemieux, and Jagr attained 100 points in fewer games than McJesus.

That's insane but then he got to play some of the shittiest teams in the league many times LUL

68style 05-09-2021 06:54 AM

Yah it’s no coincidence that 4 out of the top 5 scorers are in the North division this season haha

whitev70r 05-09-2021 07:06 AM

Welcome Tortorella back for a 2nd stint ... just for the pressers alone, that is priceless .. nah, jk!

Would never be a dull moment though ... Torts going after Sutter in locker room ... haha.

Should make a meme, cause apparently the Capitals had no remorse over his actions and made a meme about it too. Then deleted it after all the backlash.

spoon.ek9 05-10-2021 05:40 PM

we are officially eliminated from the playoffs! kind of a relief tbh. no more of this hanging onto any sort of hope bs.

edit: flames eliminated too LUL
