There's still time! Maybe no one hires him and the bold strategy of not paying hockey in the 2nd period and a quick bunch will get Rick the axe. Subscribe to my blog for other fantasies and fever dreams.

Nah, the Penguins only fire their coach mid-season. And then they win the cup.

So ifwhen the Rangers win the Cup this season, does Lindy get his name on it as one of the coaches for the entire regular season?

If it's the same as players he's gotta play half the season or a game in the cup final. The team can also petition to have names put on if they didn't make that cut but made a significant contribution or whatever. I assume it's the same as coaches.


E: technically it's 41 games and not half the season so :iiam:

Kevin Porter had a season ending injury during his 41st game with the Pens and got on the cup that year. He got on the cup by exact number.

I think my favorite part of RTP is not the goofy playoff bubble that has a million ways to pop, but the idea that the circumstances will somehow be different for the new season where they would just roll into 31 teams travelling all over the place in the middle of a continuing (and possibly worsening) pandemic.

MLS' issue of 2 teams getting so overwhelmed with the virus that they cannot participate in the tournament actually fixed their group stage issue of essentially having 2 too many teams. The sports Gods will fix all problems.

The Athletic's interview with Stephen Warshaw, who helped put together the failed "Red Penguins" project in Russia, is well worth your time to read

quote:

I think people here remember it happening but don’t know the specifics and also don’t know how close it came to working exactly like you hoped it would. Was there a moment that you knew that it was over?

When you look at the film, the credits, those are some of the juiciest parts. Did you notice the shot of the contract with the penis and testicles drawn on it? If you want a moment when I knew it was over, when you get a picture of a dick and balls on your contract offer, you know it’s over. And that was Gushin. He faxed it back to me. It was an agreement, without Disney, to go forward but with new rules, and they wanted no parts of it. They couldn’t.
