Hey, let's see how Gary Bettman's attempts to wield influence over a foreign election are going:

Aw, shoot. Well, you'll get 'em next time, little guy!

I guess its main use in the system is to give your 4th goalie regular starts.

The man has a point.

When Simmons isn't up his own ass and speaks straightforward from a position of knowledge, he's pretty good.

Today in Guys, Bill Foley May Have Some Problems, we examine his vision for what will allegedly be tonight's pregame ceremony. Also, there's a Knights blog that earnestly and frequently refers to Foley as "The Creator," so maybe this guy's found his audience.

Yeah, you can do a lot as a television personality until you mess with the sponsors.

Forces of nature, I believe they are called.

I read earlier this week from our esteemed leader they're just going to plop the Eagles in the Pacific and make it a 9-team division with some teams playing fewer games than others, because  you, that's why.

Well, at least moving the team to Houston would open a slot in the East for Quebec City.

They'd bump Chicago east to keep the slot open for Seattle.

Additionally, the team based in Hastings, Nebraska has announced that it will be known as the Hastings Sodbusters. Logos are forthcoming.

Well, I'm down for a hat.

Speaking of LEDs, the Flames ringed their arena decks with "Bill Smith For Mayor" ads last night, and put up a fair bit of Buy Us Shiny New Things propaganda in the concourses. I hope each and every one of these cretins gets kicked in the dick.

For you nostalgia buffs, the Coyotes are offering $1 hot dogs, $1 sodas, and $1 beers for their next Saturday evening home game, because how on earth do you convince anybody to go out on a Saturday night these days?

And the Coyotes just brought Zac Rinaldo back into the league! There's probably a loose Sestito floating around somewhere, too.

Deryk "That's Per Year" Engelland had to shave his beard because Vegas has a team policy banning facial hair, not that they'll have to worry about growing any in April for the next decade or so. I think Bill Foley thinks he bought the actual Army, you guys.

Greg Wyshynski is leaving Yahoo, which means Puck Daddy is going to be a Ryan Lambert blog with occasional wire copy. I'd sooner pivot to video than read that. I'd sooner pivot into a steel post nuts-first, in fact.

It looks like Mike Milbury will be subbing in for Edzo on NBCSN.

Forget the blackout during the Olympics; this is how NBC is punishing the NHL for not allowing its players to go to PyeongChang.

I never knew about the Wirtz Law! God, that guy.

Original estimates for the Malcolm X land sale were $14-16 million. The Hawks bought it for $11.7 million, by which I mean $8.7 million, because $3 million of the purchase price was in promised future ice time for area youth programs. The sale was predicated on the city clearing the land. It cost them $8 million to tear down the old college. Rockwell gets several acres for $700,000 in a city where that gets you a two-bedroom condo and mayyyyyybe a parking space.

Also, somehow we missed the Coyotes canceling a preseason game due to crap ice. We're slipping.

We're about four months out from Clay denying the Holocaust for clicks, five months out from him co-hosting a debate show on FS1 for about $4 million a year, and twelve months out from his wife filing for divorce because he's banging co-host Britt McHenry.

Twitter scum wanting to get their local sports beat writers to not make them feel guilty for being bigots/racists/general useless white fartknockers.  

I'm an editor by nature, so I'd like to note here that you could have simply said "Clay Travis."

Someone needs to inform Sportsnet's Eric Francis that they fixed all the flood damage at the Saddledome years ago, so there's no need for him to be carrying all this water.

A guy who made his living punching other players is the new head of Player Safety. But hey, Ivy League, or whatever.

Also, the Senators announced today that they've ripped out 1,500 seats to "right-size" their arena, so now it'll only be 1/4 empty for playoff games instead of 1/3. That means four teams so far this decade (Winnipeg, Islanders, Detroit, Ottawa) play in smaller venues than they did previously, which seems like a solid trend for a league so dependent on gate revenue. Can't wait until the upper deck curtains come out in Raleigh.

Whitlock let some words fall out of his maw on his show to the effect of the reason filthy liberal SJWs keep bringing up teams not signing Kaepernick is because of their secret agenda to undermine professional football because it makes them angry that so many black men are successful in it. Now, who's the real racist? *leans back in chair, folds arms*

The most popular GIF response to Whitlock's tweet says all that ever needs to be said about him, really.

Rick "Gamblor" Tocchet might be the new coach of the Coyotes. There is no way this can go wrong.

Certainly not at Gila River Casino Arena!

Schedule dropped today. I presume that means the AHL stays at 30 for this season, and we all get to have a hearty laugh at the Blues shooting themselves in the dick when it comes to player development yet again.
