According to the league’s collective bargaining agreement, each team is required to play no fewer than six — and no more than eight — preseason exhibition games. The Canes are playing four, with the fourth Saturday against the Nashville Predators. Frank Seravalli of DailyFaceoff.com Hockey claimed Friday on a podcast that while there was no official confirmation, the Canadiens might have alerted the NHL to the Hurricanes not meeting the number of preseason games.

Popular Post Drive-By Body Pierce Posted October 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2021 Because the NHL can't directly see how many games the Hurricanes or any other NHL team are playing? 1 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The greatest thing about this feud is that it has almost completely played out OFF the ice. Fans, pundits and players are all about the classic rivalries but this one is so memeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None in this case as it seems the NHL has given them and a few other teams exemptions. however it’s the level of pettiness of the Habs trying to call them out to the league for it. I bet when the two teams meet there will be some stick length and curve accusations and challenges going around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alflives Posted October 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Bergevin looks like such little whining cry baby here. Much like the little tattle-tale in grade 2, who starts crying and says: “Teacher, Thomas only has four pencil crayons and you said we all must have six.” Edited October 9, 2021 by Alflives 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I love it. Rivalries like this are good for the game because they are organic. ps - speaking of which, remember that time when Tavares returned to the Island for the first time as a member of the Leafs? To this day, I still believe that this was when the Islanders really became the Islanders. The fans during that game were absolutely bat $&!# insane as you guys know, and I really believe that the Isles developed a huge chip on their shoulder after that game.

Nucker 67 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 The Canadiens have such rich history, so many legendary players, so many Cup championships = all seems a bit tainted with that guy at the helm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are a legendary team, but even as a guy into history, the current teams that are otherwise known as the original 6 teams (including Montreal) have nothing to do with their previous iterations. None of these current teams are considered cup dynasties. The Oilers and Leafs are yearly losers for the most part, especially Toronto. Ha. And they get their own TV show.

GB5 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Interesting that preseason schedules are announced well ahead of time so this should be no surprise to anyone, the league included so I can't see how there could or should be any punative action here.

Well, the league also punished the Canucks for a contract that the league initially approved, so I have no doubt that they won't feel guilty about punishing the Hurricanes for something they initially approved.

This is not at all on the same scal or level. Bettman takes cap circumvention issues very seriously wheras this may have other mitigating factos such as a global pandemic associated with it and if anything it is hard to see hor the Hurricanes are gaining any kind of real advantage by not trying out paklyers in pre season.
