Things I learned:
- There’s something called the Elite Ice Hockey League
- its head of DOPS is an affable British gent
- assaulting a fan gets you suspended in the EIHL, but not that suspended

are they not allowed to drip the gloves in this crazy league? nothing about this makes any sense

Can someone please devils advocate this for me? I’m astonished there was no penalty for that hit on Stall nor a suspension.

What's the illegal play? He didn't leave his feet, didn't go high, didn't use an elbow or knee. Staal put himself in a really bad spot by trying to back out of the hit, there's a reason players are taught to get up against the boards and take hits with the shoulder.

I listened to Doug Maclean’s spot on the new Marek/Friedman podcast and Maclean said that Detroit was at one point discussing a three-way trade for Fedorov, Forsberg, and Lindros. It was unclear exactly what he meant because he said Forsberg would’ve come to Detroit and Fedorov would’ve gone to Quebec, which leaves Lindros to... stay in Philly?

Anyway, I’ve never heard any of that rumor before but add it to the pile of potential Lindros deals from back in the day, I guess. What a weird time.

Lindros was property of the nords but refused to play in sunny quebec; he was traded to philly for a stupid amount of stuff including forsberg.

did the rangers think they were going to be good this year? i don't really get why they signed a one dimensional defenseman to a huge deal

So I was reading about Tiger Williams raping someone and one of those targeted ads came up with this scrapbook of the 66-67 Oklahoma City Blazers that some guy is wanting way too much money for.

In looking at the pics of said scrapbook, I thought I saw a handful of signatures of relatively prominent people. So, I looked up the team. This surely is the most hall of fame and prominent hockey person laden minor pro team ever right? The goalies lol

I sure don't like Reddit, but I do like the NHL. I think I will go and play in a variety of streams this afternoon

The blackout thing might be an issue, but I'll get over it with replays.

my take: it is infuriating, especially in the playoffs

further take: quasi legal streams are of significantly higher quality than NHL-backed ones nowadays

the thing i'm going to really miss about the blues being out of the playoffs isn't so much the missing the playoffs, it is not being able to develop a seething hatred of some other city and its fan base
