This is a thing?

It?s an accommodation. As far as I could tell, no one invoked it to toll their salary to next year.

Hamonic (Vancouver) is an edge case where he contemplated retirement (just after signing a new deal there) because he doesn?t want to be vaccinated.

No idea what this actually means.

He doesn't want to be vaxxed but he wants to get paid.

Uh, guys, a couple notes...

 

[Bullfrog]

I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to react. I feel like laughing.

Can I laugh? Like, at the absurdity?

What on earth...

I can?t believe they?d put my name on this

 

[ZBBM]

And yet, there is this team in Chicago....

So, Robin Lehner is making some pretty serious accusations on twitter about teams and the drugs they give players. If it's true it's a pretty shaky look for the league.

I was wondering how this jersey could?ve passed through so many iterations and checkpoints and sign offs and still saw the light of day with nary an ?uhhhhhhhhh?. And it turns out?

No strangers to this exact issue, eh? 2014

More high quality news for the NHL as the use of Ambien and Benzo?s is rampant and supposedly were being given to Nolan Patrick without even telling him what they were giving him.  Lehner opined on it.

This has been a stellar off-season for hockey

He was also the Oiler that refused vaccination.

Just for the record, Lehner never said anything about Nolan Patrick. That story came from some no name twitter "journalist" who has since recanted it. It should distract from what Lehner said but the NP stuff always seemed questionable considering the source.

This sort of thing is why I've learned to sort of let these allegations play out a little bit until there's been a little more research than reading a tweet from some guy.

These days of using social media for your news lends to people racing in tweeting out their outrage before anyone has done any real checking to see if any of it is valid.

Remember when we were kinda bummed we lost Aaron Dell on waivers? Now he can't even get a spot on the team with the worst goaltending in the league.

 

[bustaheims]

Buffalo is really going to historically awful this season, aren't they?

 

[L K]

Buffalo isn't even remotely trying to be competitive.  It's a bit of a joke.
