That isn't fandom it is a sickness.
It's not fandom, it's Philly.
Didn't Philly fans throw AA batteries at Santa one year? Can't remember if it was at an Eagles or Flyers game.

Absolutely elite outfielder in one of the toughest parks to play defence. The shift being gone should help his offensive numbers a bit. His BABIP is good and he plays a very, very good outfield. A 5 WAR while slashing roughly .230/.300/.400 or something like that just tells you how dam good he is defensively.
For reference, I believe LGJ was about a 2 WAR

Yikes, how high is the Mets payroll?!
Steve Cohen says he doesn’t care. We’re probably gonna hit a point where the payroll of the two New York teams matches that of like half of the league’s rosters combined.

Isn't there a window of a certain number of games or days that he can stay? Otherwise, no waiver exempt player would ever get called up.
As long as he's not of the roster for more than 30 days isnt it?
Or 10 games I think

Hart really carried that team; it's a shame Philly rushed him.
He was phenomenal. He had me all excited for future best-on-best events. As it stands right now we might be looking at Binnington (gross) or Jarry (the pride of Delta) to backstop Canada. Knowing that the Americans will have to pick only 3 of Demko, Gibson, Hellebuyck, Knight, and Oettinger sucks as a Canadian fan. The two goalies from that list who don't make Team USA would be locks for Canada.

Kyrou would be insane to say he wasn't in town if he was involved. That would be pretty easy to disprove in the investigation.
Yeah, I'm just saying he would fit the description of a "high profile player". For a WJC team that was pretty dam good, it's a relatively short list of players that fits the description.

So... I read somewhere Formenton was co operating with the investigation or has evidence proving his innocence or proving guilt of others?
thats why he wasnt under contract as he was about to "rat out" several fellow nhlers who have major nhl contracts they just signed?
Not saying he's involved but imagine the black eye.....
winner of multiple norris, Conn Smythe, rookie of the year, stanley cup winning cale makar..... has been charged with secual assault..
I believe Makar said he wasn't at the event and that's been corroborated. If I'm not mistaken, he wasn't even in the country at the time. He's good.
It's rumoured that at least one of the players involved is considered a "high profile player". The only players that really fit that description are Makar, Thomas, Kyrou, Hart, and maybe Batherson. Honourable mention to guys like Formenton, Comtois, and Dube.

Oh also has there been anything new on Kikuchi since the end of the season? Is he still a starter and on the team? He kind of just imploded after he got his first big league contract.
Not that I know of. The way I look at it, if the Jays had signed Kikuchi this offseason to a deal equal to what remains on his (which I think is 2 years and $20 million) we'd probably call it a reasonable deal after seeing all the money spent on pitching so far this offseason. Syndergaard just got like $10 or 11 million for one year with the Dodgers and he's just a shadow of his former self.

Exactly, I don't even need to know if the "locker room rumours" are true or not. I see enough watching him on the ice to know that he's not captain material. He's the only guy who stands out to me during the game as being lazy, moody and careless on the ice on a regular basis.
Love his physical skills and talent, but not a born leader by any means.
Hold up. I was under the impression that Miller watching the other team go on a 2 on 1 resulting from his egregious turnover and yelling “F***!” as loud as possible as he glides to the bench was just solid leadership? Miller is the alpha male this team needs. Am I wrong? He sweats pure testosterone, eats nothing but cured meat, and wakes up every morning with an erection so glorious even King Midas would be envious. What am I missing here?

I hope that's true....
I love Kiermayer's defense, but man, his bat is where rallies go to die.....I honestly don't really see him as much of an upgrade over JBJ.....
Yeah, ideally he’s more of a 4th outfield/platoon guy. I like what he brings defensively. It would be nice if he stole more bags but he’s got good speed and he’s a good base runner nonetheless. If they could bring in a guy who’s more of an everyday player they’d be looking much better.

'm not sure if the Jays are done looking at outfielders, or if KK was the guy, but I'd still like to see a lefty with some power inserted into the lineup. Maybe they can look at moving a catcher for a DH/1B?
There’s some rumours kicking around that the Jays might be looking at one of Arizona’s young outfielders.

Jays get Bassitt. I like these numbers (only 3 years) considering what we’ve seen tossed around in free agency so far. With a rebound year from Barrios, this rotation could be pretty dam good.

I think the scuttle butt is there really isn't any cash in the organization to fire their HC. At least that will be their excuse. They really only have themselves to blame. Gruden cost them a lot of money.
I believe the rumour is that it’s the estate tax Davis would pay upon the death of his 90+ year old mother would leave him short on cash.

No need to be concerned for Boeser's scoring. Everyone knows he's a goal scorer, but he's still getting assists, which actually means he's still helping the team. THAT IS A GOOD THING. It means he's not one dimensional. What's the issue?
If you look at his overall stats, Boeser is not doing bad at all. Notice how he's also been scoring in less traditional areas than what he used to do? How are people not appreciating these changes in his game? It's not like he's choosing not to score, but he is learning to be a net front presence. This makes him more of a threat than just the perimeter stuff that he used to do (i.e. snipes). These kinds of goals are harder to come by nowadays when the defense are blocking shots.
For all the hockey that we've been watching as a fanbase, we are shockingly poor at watching (like ACTUALLY watching) hockey. Actually, I'm convinced people are just scoreboard watching rather than anything else.
Well I would say the way he's scoring goals isn't really a new thing. I imagine a heat map showing his goals would show that over the last 2 or 3 seasons he's scored most of his goals from within 10 feet of the net. He's not a "sniper" like he's often described as on here, and he hasn't been for a while. You rarely see him beat goalies with a clean 1on1 shooter vs goalie look. He's got a decent shot but a terribly slow release, which combined with his slow feet means he rarely finds or creates the space to use his shot.
Part of the reason he plays net front when he's on the top PP unit is that he's realistically probably the 4th best option to play either half wall (Petey, Miller, Kuz).
He's not a bad player but he is a player that's fairly easily replaced. He doesn't bring anything terribly unique to the mix and his cap hit is relatively large. You can't pay a player nearly $7M to score <20 goals and pick up secondary assists. At that price tag I'd expect somebody who, at the very least, could be a driver/impactful player on a third line (which he's not).

Actually he's not, especially if you read the details of that claim she's filed.
The entire purpose of the document that Doerrie tweeted last night is to paint Castonguay and her actions in the worst possible light. Of course Castonguay is going to look bad if you only read this one side of the story and accept is as absolute truth.

I suspect that a rather large cheque is going to change hands in regards to this situation at some point. And I’ll bet Aqua ain’t gonna enjoy signing it very much.
I imagine a big motivation for the Canucks to settle out of court would be an NDA. Now that Doerrie's put all these details out in public, why would they settle? They seem very confident in their categorical denial of Doerrie's allegations and she was only their employee for a few months so I don't think there's a massive severance involved.
-
I can't imagine Castonguay would have the ability to unilaterally fire Doerrie even if Doerrie was reporting to her. Assuming Doerrie's allegations are true, how did Castonguay go about persuading Rutherford, Allvin, and possibly Aqua to fire her?
Should the Canucks versions of events be made public, they'll make for an interesting read.

Maybe wouldn't matter at all in the outcome, except Croatia piled it on to embrass them.
The Canadian coach is a men's WC rookie too. Should have just be more Canadian than British and gave a humble answer to the press. Or maybe he did it to take the media off Alfonso for missing the PK.
Almost like the Luongo tire pumping comment in 2011. No need to add more pressure.
I'm no soccer guy but I don't really get the criticism here. What's he supposed to say- "Yeah the Croatians are a much better team than us but hopefully we can keep it close"?
Of course he's going to say something like this. If I were one of his players I'd be disappointed if he didn't.

Sarcasm, sorry. Just making fun of the ridiculousness of the situation in Peterborough where they had no choice but to make him play D combined with how amazingly well he managed to play in that situation.
Plus referencing @gurn and his Jett Woo comment.
Ah my bad, went right over my head

I believe he was drafted by the previous management regime (not the current group with Bill Guerin) so that might be part of it.
