My son is back on the ice in BC, but it's skills only and minimum 10 kids on the ice with 2 coaches at any time (with only 1 parent allowed in the rink). Very strict protocols like only 5 kids per dressing room, 30 minutes between ice times so they can sanitize everything, increased goalie crease size to keep kids further away from goalies, etc. Not sure when actual competitive hockey (games) will be permitted. There is talk that minor leagues may be just doing skill development past Christmas as the gov't and rinks won't allow any more than that. I'll be really surprised if beer leagues are allowed to get going any time soon in BC.

Yeah...tough to beat any team with Wayne on it.
But I'm rolling with Phil Esposito, Jaromir Jagr and Johnny Bucyk so I'll throw my hat in the ring with 4,880 pts.

I really wish Vancouver would start using some of their extra cap space this way.
-
Not having to protect him is huge. That was my biggest worry about resigning him. They have the cap space right now so I'm not really worried about what they are giving him. It's in a couple of years that they will feel the crunch.

It might happen one day but I doubt it'll happen in our time. What are you supposed to do when your goaltender gets run over? Now all of sudden you want fighting back in? The players still like policing themselves. When and if fighting is out of the game the rats will be coming out of the woodwork!
Just to continue stirring the pot here as I don't have a strong opinion on this one way or the other (except that I hate Marchand) - why are there not fights in Football like there are in Hockey? Football players tee off on each other constantly but seldom is there really a fight. If you see a closeup of what happens on the line it's nasty. And when someone comes in with a late shot on a quarterback that does (or could) put them out of the game or the season you don't suddenly have a massive brawl breaking out.
Personally I am not anti-fighting. When an ass like Marchand does something stupid I find myself wanting to see someone pound on him. But I do hate it when guys pick fights just because someone lays someone out with a clean hit. That doesn't make sense to me. I do find myself wondering why there is one professional sport that has it ingrained into the regular gameplay and none of the others really do.
So...why don't they fight more in football?

Calgary got destroyed here. Hamilton is waaaay better than Hanafin will ever be, and Ferland is probably a shade better than Lindholm. Throw in a pretty good prospect and you’ve got a doozie.
I’d be hitting the veto button if this came through our site
.
Just read a good article on the trade on SportsNet. From Calgary's perspective, Hamilton was a good player with the wrong attitude. Flames traded his brother last January and Hamilton started making it clear he wasn't happy there. Good chance Flames were going to lose Ferland next summer anyways. And Fox had made it pretty clear he had no interest in coming to play for Calgary. Wouldn't come to play with them this year and committed to go back to college for another year. If he did that for a fourth year they'd lose him. So the topline is that they moved a high skill/bad attitude player, a gritty guy they really liked but might have only kept for one more year and a high quality prospect who may have never played for them.
LIndholm may really shine with Gaudreau and Monahan as linemates. Maybe not. Hanifin has basically the same numbers as Hamilton did in his first three years, so lots of potential there.
I'm not saying Calgary won this trade - but not sure they got destroyed either.

And to be clear - I don't particularly care about Perron getting an discipline. He didn't do anything that bad. I just find it amazing how unpredictable the NHL is in the way they enforce their rules. Sometimes they hold up the rule book and say "we have to call it this way as it's clearly outlined in the rule book". Other times the book seems firmly shoved up their backside and ignored.
The claim in this case seems to be that there is no altercation already going on. Like I said earlier, if Ovie had gotten into it with him then I think the suspension would have to be called.
-
Except there are already 5 players on the far side of the ice. This is what is going on on the far side while Perron jumps on and hits Ovie.
-
Why is the Perron situation not getting more talk. He came off the bench to engage a player. Technically it’s an automatic 10 game suspension. I realize that nothing really resulted from it since Ovie tried to ignore him. But if Ovie gets in a fight with him when challenged isn’t that an automatic suspension for Perron?
And I agree that Wilson continues to go over the line. Clearly the message the league has tried to send him with his previous suspension isn’t going to change the way he plays. I was a little surprised Reeves didn’t do anything about it but I guess he didn’t want to risk the game.

There is a sick part of me that wants Vegas to win it all this year. Kind of like the pleasure one gets from watching fail videos. The hockey world would go nuts.
Most of me will be cheering on the Jets to get the Cup back in Canada. But that dark little part of me that I try to keep hidden is going to be rooting for a Vegas upset.

That's awesome.

I use CapFriendly and it's really good. It's also helpful when you are looking at buying out a player as it shows the cap remaining by year in additional to that AAV that our spreadsheet shows.

You have to be patient with it, but it's fun to slowly build the franchise.
-
More of a Sim. They don't have league rights to use any real players. So they create all sorts of hybrid names (ie. Bo Sedin). You have to build your team, train them, scout, build an arena, etc. It's simple to play and you can only go so quickly without spending a bunch of money. But it's still fun to mess around with. My one frustration is that you run out of things to do while building is happening and have to sit around waiting for your next league game, next days training, etc.

Has anyone else discovered the World Hockey Manager app/game? You run a hockey franchise. I've just started playing, but it's a good distraction when the CHA is slow and there aren't any good trades to be made.
-
But I keep my PPS spot which seems to have more flexibility in how I use it. And if I use an IR spot I can pick up a player without taking on his contract long term.
I guess its it's a personal preference whether you want to pick up someone and actually add their contract or just do a 1 year IR fill. The nice thing with the IR fill in is you can take a big contract (if you have the cap space) and only worry about it for this year and then walk away clean.

One step away from field hockey rules. Good luck having two guys racing for a puck in the corner and then one just spontaneously decides they won't get there first and pulls up short...that's really going to work. Especially in beer league hockey.
