Should've played a Junior Sharks team instead - the level is higher and the profit is obvious. |

Ryane Clowe was on Spittin Chiclets for those interested. Jeremy Roenick tells a great story while he was on Spittin Chiclets, on how he pranked Tori Mitchel and Devin Setoguchi in Vegas on a Team building trip. Fast forward to minute 47:38 and listen. Surprised no-one got hurt. |

Ryane Clowe was on Spittin Chiclets for those interested. How is he doing? Sounded like he was doing okay. Didn’t know he was a call up in the QMJHL his draft year, got drafted with only 32 games under his junior belt. Crazy. Really liked Jumbo and said he once accidentally broke Boyle’s nose. |

I meant Goose. Useless generic euro winner#2 (or #3 if we go back to Havlat). How's your back old man Slowly getting better. Mainly just stiff now and I can't really do a situp. Ive taken to stretching while on phone calls at my desk because that fucking office chair is the worst of it. |

via Pierre LeBrun tweets,
NHLPA Executive Board plus other players to meet Wednesday in Chicago for a CBA update discussion. Players have until Sept. 15 to decide on the CBA opt-out for 2020. The NHL has until Sunday to make the same decision. I would expect an announcement from the NHL by end of weekend
The NHL and NHLPA have had numerous CBA meetings with each other all summer long. But where this all leads, I’m not ready to guess yet

Last night Elliotte Friedman joined the NHL Network and discussed Jesse Puljujarvi, the RFAs and Cam Ward.

Really liked Jumbo and said he once accidentally broke Boyle’s nose. With very few exceptions it seems Jumbo is very well liked and respected in the league. Yeah Clowe came up very fast. Would have been no fun playing against him in the juniors but they tend to limit some of the rough stuff there. |

I kind of agree with him that yelling "stick to basketball" at a hockey player has a racial element to it. I had not heard it got yelled at him during the Colorado series. |

If someone yelled that from the stands then I agree there is a racist element to that but without seeing everything that led up the the screenshot I am not willing to concede that here. Way to much use of the race card when it is not warranted. Show the entire conversation or he can STFU! |

Both those guys were tough. Why are the grinder/tough guy players always the ones who succeed in hockey after their playing career is over? |

The league is of the mind that the upcoming US television deal, new live streaming opportunities and the player tracking technology that will lead more revenues through legalized sports betting will provide a significant bump in revenues, but that still doesn’t solve the escrow conundrum the players face. (More coming up on Tuesday about possibilities the two sides are looking at to mitigate the effect of escrow.)
So while it’s probably a little early to start rejoicing over the fact that the NHL will continue playing without interruption for at least another six years, there is every reason for all of the stakeholders – owners, players and fans – to feel a lot more confident than they did this time last year.

"more revenues through legalized sports betting.." Not looking forward to that aspect of the NHL growing. Moves the needle more towards 'spectacle' and away from 'hockey game'. but NHLPA seeks more Cap room, so follow the money. In arena betting will suck, IMO. |

Check out the headline:
Why Sharks' Marc-Édouard Vlasic is hoping for an NHL work stoppage
No professional American sport has endured more labor strife than the National Hockey League. The league has experienced several lockouts, including canceling the entire 2004-05 season and most of the 2012-13 season.
With the NHL’s decision to not opt out of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement coming down this week, Sharks defenseman Marc-Édouard Vlasic hopes the NHL Players’ Association elects to use its own opt-out clause to renegotiate the CBA.
“We’ll wait and see what the league will say on Sept. 1, but of course there’s a lot of stuff that I’d like to change,” Vlasic told The Athletic’s Sean Gordon prior to the league's announcement. “If the players aren’t satisfied on certain fronts, then we should rethink the CBA.”
Vlasic’s main point of contention lies in the escrow clause of the agreement, which requires players to surrender portions of their salary in order to keep the league revenue split with the owners at an even 50-50.
“I mean, players sign a big contract, and they get 15 percent taken away immediately because of escrow. It’s not our fault. We’re the product, and it’s our job to ensure people watch our league.”
“It’s not our job to take care of (equalizing revenues). Players keep saying year after year that they don’t like escrow. Now’s the time to put on the big-boy pants.”

The owners have the players with a noose around their neck as long as the escrow option is in the CBA. |
