It's still a better system than the NBA though, where if your player dies, you're still on the hook for a cap hit.

Lights Out Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Well, thats one way to clear cap space.I'm not laughing.Oh, come on. It was funny.Regardless, even though I'm not a hockey fan and don't have a clue who Boogaard was, it's always sad to hear about someone dying young. RIP.

Brass Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Well, thats one way to clear cap space.I'm not laughing.Me neither! I mean, I didn't know him, nor did he ever play for my favorite team nor for any team in my area, but goddamnit, he played hockey. A sympathetic figure, if ever there was one. His three career NHL goals will never be forgotten.Goodnight, sweet prince. This world was too ugly for someone as beautiful as you. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

nash61 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Have they found out what he died of yet?Autopsy report won't be out for about two weeks.His family donated his brain to the Sports Legacy Institute at Boston University, just like the family of Bob Probert did with his. If it was fighting related, they'll find it.

The_Admiral Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Haha @ that sequence of posts and righteous indignation in general. I watched that episode last night!It's pretty terrible that someone dropped dead at age 28, but it's never a bad time for jokes about the retarded NHL salary cap.

Armadillo Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 A friend of mine knew Boogaard personally; she's been an absolute wreck since Friday night, so you'll have to forgive me not seeing the humor in joking about his death less than 24 hours afterwards.

Relax.It's pretty hard to relax about a salary cap joke when that joke is dependent on the tragic loss of a young life. It was a tasteless and insensitive crack. Period.I think that what the current CBA has done to the NHL is far more tragic than the loss of a young life. Even though I typed out a period, I'll add a spelled-out "period" followed up by another typed out one, just for ultimate redundancy. Tragic redundancy, if you will.

But hell, I'll tell jokes about my own Dad's death, and I find much of the internet reaction to deaths of athletes or celebrities by people who never met the deceased person, and had no relationship with them self indulgent and over-wrought. That said, having read some of the articles, Boogard sounds like he was a much better person off the ice with the charity work he did than he was a hockey player and his family donating his brain to research is very commendable.

You'll have to forgive me / us for not caring about someone who I / we don't know's friend's feelings. I'm sure you also know that none of us are happy when anyone does, just that someone needs to counter the whole fake "look at me - I care DAMMIT!" sympathy that seems to follow athlete deaths.
