Vegas' entire coaching staff was quarantined when they played the Blues and then oops, next game is PPD because a bunch of Knights have it. Kind of shocked the Blues didn't catch it (everyone already caught it before the Bubble last year)

I'm not sure we have any real idea how many of these "placed in the COVID protocol" are actual infections and how many are just abundance of caution situations where a test is inconclusive or some contact tracing check or someone gets a sore throat for a day or two but tests negative etc etc. The more careful the league is the more "placed in COVID protocol" situations we're going to have. Re: DeAngelo again, can anyone source claims about him making racist comments? Considering his politics and such I'm completely sure he's a racist and wouldn't be surprised if he's constantly making GBS threads on BLM and saying stuff like "systemic racism doesn't exist" but I'm not sure how much people are just inferring that versus he's said things outright that we have sources to. Basically everything I've heard is the stuff he was suspended for in juniors wasn't racist comments but people seem to have taken that and assumed it was. E: I'm curious and looking for sources on something that people seem to be taking as fact, I'm not disputing he's a dumb piece of poo poo who is probably racist I don't care if DeAngelo ever plays hockey again and am happy he's basically gone now but this whole situation feels super weird to me with people trying as hard as they can to make it into something between him and Miller. It feels super confirmation bias-y where people will believe what they want to believe and cherry pick their information and dismiss anything else as lies. Miller himself could say otherwise and people wouldn't believe him at this point.

James Neal is being benched for Alex Chiasson a game after Neal scored two goals and a day after Chiasson was waived. Also the Oilers are starting 7D so Bouchard can play but are not playing Caleb Jones who is clearly better than Russell or Lagesson or Koekkoek. The Oilers have broken Dave Tippett's brain.

Hth. Yes. I hate how in this day and age of the Internet any comment or request has to be spelled out in some kind of explicitly detailed form letter and you're still likely to get a low effort response in return that doesn't answer any of the questions you asked. I'm not disputing anything about DeAngelo, I'm asking for information. We've had some 2nd hand reports about his comments and we can infer a whole lot based on his politics but I'm wondering if he has actually said any of that stuff out in the open for no other reason than I want to know.

From what I’ve seen, no there is no concrete public evidence of beef between Tony D and Miller. Everything is speculation rooted in the fact that Tony D is a hardcore racist chud and Miller is a black BLM-supporter. Even as far as unconfirmed rumors go, there is only: - The puck thing, which JD and Miller’s agent both say is 100% false. (Not saying I believe that there’s nothing to it, but that’s what they say.) - The opening night thing, where Miller broke from the pattern so as not to stand next to Tony. This could be something or could be nothing. - The rumor that Miller was the one that broke up the Georgiev/Tony fight. This is very unclear. And even if he did, it doesn’t mean that there’s bad blood, it could just mean that he was the closest guy to the scuffle. There’s definitely more to the TonyD situation than what we’re being told, but it doesn’t necessarily involve Miller at all. OldSenileGuy fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Feb 2, 2021 |

Google his name + tweets then look at some pictures. Also, if someone's a trump supporter, especially openly online, they're a loving racist. I don't care if they help out at the homeless shelter on the weekend or are a great dad, supporting Nazi poo poo makes them racist and worthy of wholesale dismissal by anyone with a brain or any level of empathy. Apologies if I'm way off the mark but your posts read like "oh, I'm just asking questions, Where's the hard proof etc." and come off as disingenuous. I don't think that's what you're doing, but you don't have to be a professional internet detective to google his name and see the awful poo poo he's said and supported. E- I'm not trying to attack you. If you're looking for details on a specific incident we don't have those and maybe never will. If you're looking for info on him being a chud piece of poo poo racist, it isn't exactly hard to find. Cocaine Bear fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Feb 2, 2021 |

I have it on good authority that Tony D saw a box of uncle Ben rice on top of the net and stopped playing defense when Crosby scored in OT the other night.

I legit can't remember the last time I've been this happy someone is off the team I root for. Last one I can remember was when Sather banished Redden to Hartford but even then it was just based on his lovely play not him being a lovely person.

To be clear, this happened twice. My understanding is that the suspensions in juniors were more likely for calling teammates homophobic names, I believe people have looked back over those rosters and they were all white players at the time (though I guess that doesn't stop an idiot from calling other white people the N word). But that's kinda what I was asking about, whether there has been any real clarity on what happened there versus people trying to connect the dots.

I reckon we're not gonna hear the full harsh truth until he's well and truly gone from the league. Right now the Rangers/org is still trying to cut ties with him but don't want to open up grounds for him to sue them for poisoning his career prospects by calling him a racist or anything... or completely tank any chances of trading him, for that matter.

Probably never will hear the full harsh truth because there's no benefit to the people involved to run to the internet and blab about what they saw/heard. It can only hurt their own employment. Everything us outsiders get is gonna be rumors spun up by people who's entire job is to get clicks and likes so you can never trust it completely.

The Penguins job (GM and coach both, actually) is not one I would want if I were a candidate with options. Light on draft picks, light on youth, light on cap space, heavy on declining, constantly injured veteran stars who will do whatever the gently caress they want and ownership will tie your hands if you displease them, extreme Win Now mandate from stars and owners despite the fact the team appears no better than fringe playoff quality. Failure (in the minds of owners and media) is overwhelmingly likely there. Securing a mid-seed playoff spot and not getting swept in the first round would be a successful season in their current circumstances, but the expectation is going to be Win The Cup.

Koopa Kid posted:No, that was his replacement, Cliff Fletcher. Yeah get your transactions by bad Leafs GMs straight! I also love that the following offseason, the Leafs tried to correct their goaltending situation again by trading a 1st (which they already knew was the 13th overall), 2nd, and 4th for Toskala. Great times.

You mentioned it, but the fact that you've got meddling ownership interfering in the day to day hockey affairs is probably the biggest factor if I had to guess. You're either eventually the GM arguing with Mario or you're resigning because of personal reasons.

My last made me remind myself of the Leafs post-lockout goaltending miseries. I am also going to use GSAA on Hockey-Reference. I am not sure how good it is, but I like that it really shows how poor some of these goalies were compared to the average. 05-06: Belfour, .892 SV%, -13.77 06-07: Raycroft, .894 SV%, -22.02 07-08: Toskala, .904 SV%, -9.30 08-09: Toskala, .891 SV%, -27.09 09-10: Gustavsson, .902 SV%, -10.31 & Toskala, .874 SV%, -25.02 Then Reimer showed up and provided adequate goaltending. These teams weren't good, but you have to imagine that average goaltending would have given the Leafs the few points they needed to make the playoffs. In 05-06, they missed by 2 points. In 06-07, they missed by 1 point. Then they just got really bad. Twin Cinema fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Feb 2, 2021 |

I'm not saying it's perfect, but they have a laundry list of reasons people get put on the protocol list beyond even testing positive. Also, shouldn't the NY Health Dept have more important things to be worrying about?
