I bought a bunch of those novelty jerseys like a big idiot. Couldn't resist the Whalers/Nordiques throwbacks and the ugly-rear end Coyotes jersey.

It was obvious in like May that the best bet for hockey was a bubble playoffs and anything beyond that would be incredibly difficult to impossible so I'm not sure why anyone is surprised shits not working out!

If baseball could do it why can't hockey just do the same? Just move all the Canadian teams to the states.

Baseball has multiple players that will never play again because of long term covid complications so maybe lets not.

Except this likely stoppage has nothing to do with health concerns and is entirely about money. Like it always is.

Please, take that contract.

Are they going to release more of the jerseys that are customizable, or is it just the star player and blank jerseys?

The money part was always a huge part of why they wouldn't play a season since it was obvious then that most of the teams wouldn't have fans.

Do you have a source for this? It sadly doesn’t surprise me, so I’d like to see more.

And what am I missing about Kraken picking up an uncomfortable connotation?

I mean it's "just" inflammation of the heart and the severity of it can vary greatly. A mild case can heal up fine, a severe case could be a problem. You just don't know if you're going to get a mild or severe case :shrug:
