2015 NHL Golf Thread

The fall of Mike Richards really sucks. When he could play, you'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger heart in the league. Still, maybe he can get it back together. It might be fun to have two bought-out Richardses at center next year.

So much for buying out Mike Richards. Kings flat-out terminated his contract for a material breach. This one's going to the courts, and it is going to be fuuuuuuuun.

I'm hearing rumors that the Kings have proof of the breach. Could be drug related but none of the reporters are saying due to the legal ramifications.

He grew the game, moving the whale from a middling northeastern hockey market to an uncaring southeastern one.

Barry Shenkarow should be in the hall very soon by this standard.

oh :censored: right off

I figured you'd get a kick out of that one :lol:

I mean, he has done other stuff in hockey outside of the Hurricanes. (Because, obligatory mention, it's not the NHL Hall of Fame.) But yeah, when I think of legendary Builders of The GameTM, I don't think of Peter Karmanos.

His youth hockey system in Michigan has basically fallen apart, having lost a pissing contest to Mike Ilitch. He sold his OHL team to Flint, where it will fail because it's in Flint. His NHL team has missed the playoffs 16 out of 21 years, would have been 17/22 if not for the season-cancelling lockout he helped drive. That being said, Connecticut has risen to one of the top states for producing hockey players since the Whalers left, so in a weird way he kind of did do some building amidst all his destroying.

Seriously, why don't you just put Eagleson back in the hall at this rate.

I mean, the sport itself is fantastic, but the feeling of intellectual superiority I get from following the NHL is a nice fringe benefit.

Latest on Richards: the breach involves a specific off-ice incident. Lombardi found out an hour into the draft. Lombardi, who had been talking with Calgary and Edmonton about a trade, walked to each respective GM on the BB&T floor to tell them of the incident and to cut of negotiations.

I've seen that it was a "border incident." I've seen it was cocaine. I've heard it's cocaine at a border incident.

I'm not entirely sure what's happening.

I'm in our sports newsroom and overheard one end of a conversation between our copy editor and Kings beat writer. It looks like it's a federal deal. It doesn't sound like we're going to know exactly tonight. Limited details, and we're preceding with caution because nothing is concrete. It's also a little curious that the NHLPA isn't rushing to Richards' defense here yet.
