Yeah I hear you, I should've elaborated: showing up habitually late when there's a designated start time, and not getting why it's even an issue.

Yeah. I agree.

Yeah, that's what he was doing. I haven't seen anything from McDavid that shows humility. He is full of sour grapes and he proved it again.

Normally I'd be disappointed and move on but McDavid is supposed to be the ambassador for the game and the guy the NHL is looking upon to be the leader. That was setting a poor example. He's leading in the wrong direction with that move.

Their distortions of reality are something to behold.

They wouldn't need to sign a goalie. They have Rodrigue signed at $.775.

Was just watching the Euro's at an Irish pub in Vancouver and we got into talking about diving in the sport with the Irish bartender; how punishment needs to be given out after the fact because it's too difficult for refs to catch it all live.
He says it's basically cheating, to which I agreed.

He then goes "yeah, it's getting bad in ice hockey too" so which I reply "good thing those stupid, diving Oilers lost last night, they are the worst".

He then tells me he's a die hard Oilers fan after starting to follow them because of McDavid 4 years ago

How do you do off about the evils of diving in the sport, all while being an Oilers fan?
The distortions of reality indeed.

That is beautiful.

I explained to my girls (almost 6) this morning at breakfast what happened last night, and one of them went upstairs and said the following:

"Mom. I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is hockey is over for this year.
The good news is Edmonton did not win!"

Again, I am so proud...

He isn't on their NHL roster and not in their current cap so it'd be like signing him - he'd cut into their cap by $775K. There's also the fact he's never played an NHL game and he's expected to be a full time backup?

Awesome!
How do we not have unlimited ‘thanks’ at a time like this??
