Who's to say that 10 other yachts didn't turn him down.

I thought all of these Yachts and Cruise Ships and whatnot were operated and flag'd out of the Bahamas or Panama or w/e where the laws are very forgiving when it comes to liability for negligence. I mean does this company even respond to the lawsuit filed in Canada?

Spent Christmas during the pandemic on a Carribean super yacht that coat $500,000 a week and is now trying to get out of paying by suing the company for $10m because there were rough seas.

No financial issues there, no sir.

Vexatious lawsuits have pretty strict standards for penalizing the person filing suit, and the captain's best bet would be to file a defamation claim before Melnyk does. Canadian courts and Commonwealth courts in general are wildly, absurdly in favor of plaintiffs in defamation cases.

lol down here in the states it costs an absurd amount of money to lawyer up and countersue someone bringing BS lawsuits against you and that is exactly what right people and corporations count on. A real good friend of mine got roped into a suit by an absolute shithead (former) client/bar owner and he named my buddy in the suit just to be a vindictive rear end in a top hat and it's going to cost him $30,000 in lawyer fees just to get out of it and he literally has nothing to do with this case between the tenant and building owner outside of forwarding some emails

Yeah he is just the financial backing. Chipman is the real owner, and the Chipmans are only car-dealer/Winnipeg real estate rich. Probably the team would fold if Thomson pulled out though.

Huh. So Dubois had 1 for Columbus and Laine had 2 for the Jets for a total of 9 and 12. 4th pick in the 2016 draft, noted bust Jesse Pujujarvi beat them both with 15.

As a group, picks 2-4 scored 36 goals. Pick 5 Olli Juolevi scored another 2.

Matthews had 41 on his own.

Perfectly fair to be honest.

But to be honest every good goalie can be bad, and every bad goalie can be good, and no one really knows if a goalie is good or bad anyways. Much more concerning than goaltending are the Oshie/Ovie injuries and whether Kuznetsov is currently coughing his lungs up or just riding out a mild case of COVID.

Ovi is fine, he's just old and the schedule was brutal and they've just been resting him since the games stopped mattering.

Ovi looked fine in that last game, not worried there. Oshie is mega concerning, Im afraid hes going to be rushed back to the ice tonight. Im still extremely disappointed in Kuznetsov but if hes good to go then he should play tonight regardless of rust. No idea if hes still going to be on the Covid list but we need him to get past Boston. Vanacek holds all the cards for a Caps win tonight, hes shown that he can stand on his head at times, just never consistently.

There's still have a long way to go in terms of the defensive performance of the whole team being disproportionately awarded to/blamed on the goalie. Grubauer and Varlamov are not that good, Jarry and Campbell/Rittich are not that bad.

e: Also loving bizarre that Mrazek (.923 sv%, 2.06 GAA in 12 games) is ranked ahead of Nedeljkovic (.932 sv%, 1.90 GAA in 23 games). Or anyone else for that matter. Mrazek's long, long track record of sub-mediocrity is supposed to be a good thing?

Im not too concerned with Bob, if he has a bad game well just switch him out for Driedger who is essentially seen as a split starter by most people here anyway. The contract sucks but its not like hes a bad keeper, and hopefully Playoffs Bob will be showing up.

Campbells been excellent though? Like, hes a 2.15 .921 goalie, hes better than most of that list without even counting that his advanced stats are good. Theres no good reason to include random backups for other teams and leave Campbell off.

The Leafs havent even been a bad defensive team since Keefe took over (though theyre still not the best obviously), its just that Andersen fell off a cliff at the same time they started cutting down on chances against so the results havent followed suit until the back half of this season.

I don't think Playoffs Bob means what you think it does. But, I also think we have two very different definitions of what 'worried' means because if the 10 million dollar a year and nearly 13 percent of my cap structure player is significantly sub league average I wouldn't be just worried....

The lesson of Bob is not to get overexcited about a goalie putting up super stats in front of a team that plays elite defense.

Some team is going to overpay this offseason for Mrazek and I just pray to the forgotten gods that it's not the Penguins.
