Yes, that led to the cancelation of all sports, including NHL for several months. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously the Gobert thing and everything around it was the flash point for cancellations around North America, but cancellations in European sporting events was already happening (and had, on an exponentially increasing scale, been happening since the middle of February) and, if hadn't been Gobert, it would've been someone else in the NBA, NHL, or MLB, and was going to descend to that point eventually anyway. In hindsight, and even really in real-time, this was quickly becoming inevitable by that point in time. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if the subterfuge involved in getting the players to commit to a return ultimately results in labor strife and a work stoppage down the road, then maybe they shouldn't have resumed.

No, it is. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If labor strife and Lightning Cup wins are going to go hand-in-hand like has happened before, then, sorry but not sorry, I'm rooting for constant labor strife in the NHL. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManillaToad 992 Posted October 1, 2020 He's always been a shaky guy. It'll get more noticeable as he gets older Also the team crowding around him while he gave the Cup presentation speech was great, I hope it becomes the new tradition 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the bankruptcy, they've become a cult phenomenon for hipsters who haven't moved to Austin yet and irony posters nationwide. I wonder if they've been allowed to do those hysterical jumbotron memes. Rent free. Bless your heart. oof Speaking of bomb shelters. Atleast now that hockey is relevant in Chicago again, winning a shootout won't necessarily mean that someone died. Hope you enjoyed seeing a warm weather team win the cup this year. That cabbie-beating rapist wasn't gonna win the Art Ross that year anyway. And put some respect on Pantera's name, jabroni. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
