And he is the ONLY person on this board that gets this treatment from me. And as you point out, it is for good reason.
2022-23 Official NHL Thread
- Thread starter John Wick
- Start date
Unlike you the first time I looked at that photo I did not look closely or long enough to notice any male child appendages. All I saw in my quick glance was the image of a child crouching behind a woman's skirt which I understood to be Shack trying to make a point about you in your on-going (and frankly to me- very tiresome and childish) dispute.
However, I will acknowledge that I took your reference to the potential harm of posting images of children being made in relation to the Vegas players posing with their young kids sitting in the Stanley Cup. It never crossed my mind that it was in reference to the photo in post 168 which I had completely forgotten about.
So at the risk of being guilty of what I am accusing you of - my point still stands that you have a history of high jacking threads. And that is all I am going to post about this matter in this thread.

I'm sure you understand I had to be deliberately vague but expected (hope) any reader could put 2 and 2 together. Ok, we're done.
Yes. And none of them call me a racist, as many of them refer to you. Are you aware of that?
You don't care if the NBA doesn't play because so few of them look like you? LOL. Kinda funny how none of them stick up for you when you post stuff like that.
The other thing to note is that you do not dispute what the message of my post is. You are a pussy unless you have someone to back you up. You attack me, but never my message. LOL.
They call and/or imply you are a wokie and/or a virtue signaller.
You agreed with the two posters who called me racist for condemning bride burning.
I never or almost never attacked you personally. Usually, I say something in self-defense only.
I don't have issues with other members even if we disagree on issues and almost always stick to the issues. You're the only member who post pics of Captain Obvious, Turtle Boy and that pic of a young boy with visible --------.
Yes, I said that to northofsixty. He and I have not communicated since about the child pic.
TV ratings for final, good news or bad news for the NHL? Discuss.

Short term that has no impact.
The US TV Contract ends at the end of the 2028 season and the Canada TV Contract ends at the end of the 2026 season.
They are FIXED contracts.
Long term - if the trend continues into future playoffs then it could hurt.
This probably means the Leafs can't offer Matthews a $20mm p.a. or even a $15mm p.a. contract.
The cap number isn't changing because of this (as the TV contract is fixed for the next 3 seasons), so it has no impact on the max he can get.
$20m was never a possibility as the cap was never going to be high enough to grant him that.
The salary cap for next year is projected at 83.5 million. For the 2024/2025 it is projected at 87.5 million.
Auston is permitted to sign for 20% of the cap under the CBA.
If they extend him this summer (after July 1) it looks like they can pay him a max of $16.7 million.
If they sign him next summer its probably closer to $17.5 million.
Of course the Leafs would be idiotic to give him the full 20% of the cap, but the organization has been bending over for him since he got here. The 5 year contract (instead of 8) was one of the worst negotiations I have seen,
Yeah, I threw the $20mm out there as a joke. The rumours I'm hearing (for what its worth) is around the $15mm.
I heard that the cash portion of Marner's current contract was front-end loaded and he actually received $15mm cash in year one.

Man I'll give it to you..You sure know the business side of the NHL salaries. Good on ya.
A question..If you're Treliving what are you offering him?
They're hamstrung with Tavares. I think Wick's favourite player is out the door.
They need a true #1 Dman...Although I thought Morgan Rielly played admirably as the season progressed.
Is Marner ever going to be a playoff caliber performer? Can he channel his inner Steve Yzerman?
Is Samsonov the messiah?
What say you?
