The division leader just got pounded 5-0. -23 differential and falling!Hey, Caps might take this whole thing after all if they go on a run.

Sadly, the Sharks have gone from worrying about teams like Vancouver and Detroit to worrying about LA and Colorado and thus avoid falling behind the 8 ball.

BigBubba Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I may not be 100% right because I just read this off a tweet and I'm posting from my iPod (I'm too lazy to check), but had the Leafs not blown leafs in their past 2 games, we'd be in eighth. And had we won even just 3 or 4 of the 11 (in which we lost 10 of) we'd be pretty much assured a playoff spot, barring a collapse. Oh, well, you can't dwell in "what if"s. If we were truly a good enough team, we'd have won those games. This is about the time when I want Minny and NYI to start winning... Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Sport Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I love watching Jack Johnson thrive while Jeff Carter is just Jeff Carter. It's looking like one of the few cases in franchise history where the Blue Jackets won a trade.still, #FireHowson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The Blue Jackets will let fans hand in their Jeff Carter jerseys and replace his name and number on the back with Johnson's. That's a pretty classy move by the organization considering these fans dished out $200 for a jersey of a player that showed no heart and was traded less than a year later.

The_Admiral Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 That's a pretty classy move by the organization considering these fans dished out $200 for a jersey of a player that showed no heart and was traded less than a year later.What kind of heart would you have liked him to show? He signed a contract that was supposed to have anchored him to his team and city for effectively the rest of his career, only for the team to trade him to hockey's worst backwater just in time for his no-trade clause to kick in because Paul Holmgren can't perform fourth-grade math and accidentally put Chris Pronger on the books for approximately the next century. So here his team made this big commitment to him, he put down his roots, and then he had the rug pulled out. That sucked. No wonder he cried himself to sleep every night.If we're going to keep this rule where you can only sign an extension when you're on an expiring contract, then any extension's no-trade clause should go in effect immediately. Not to bargain for that would be irresponsible. What a mess this was. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 It was still an unnecessary sideswipe to call a guy heartless for circumstances beyond his control. I guess it's a classy move to give out some free restitchings, but this magnanimity is somewhat tempered by the fact that the team is hitting the taxpayers up for a bailout because they run up such huge losses by doing things like trading for Jeff Carter. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 again, it's not a taxpayer bailout. Nobody is going to pay a dime more in taxes to keep the Blue Jackets in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just a lot of creative accounting and rhetorical dissembling. So what happens if this casino they're planning on taxing heavily to cover the arena purchase underperforms? Then that money they've committed has to come from somewhere, either from a tax increase or diverting funds. You can draw up a whole Rube Goldbergian diagram of where what money goes and how, but the funny thing about the "public-private partnership" is that the end result is always that the public, somewhere, somehow, pays for the private. But this isn't the NHL Business Thread Of Ever-Changing Names, so we should just stick to how Bro Party is letting a terrible Dallas team run away with the division. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 But that hypothetical situation that you've created hasn't happened yet. So at the moment it's not a "taxpayer bailout" that you time and again insist on calling it. If you're going to be deriding, at least be correct. For the record, I thought the Carter nameplate thing was the right thing to do, but only because the opportunity was just sitting there. I don't know if it's "classy" as much as it's fortunate that their new player chose the same number as the old one and they were able to spin some positive PR.
