To summarize:

- What place is the team in?
- Stick a sock in it.
- If I were still with the team, I’d tell the coach to sit him for another game just to prove a point.
- Management will ignore it because Frolik is a great person and an amazing teammate.
- Trust me, management doesn’t listen to agents or let agents make decisions for them.

Said that his agent is doing a disservice to his client more than anything.

Which is BS since Frolik obviously gave Walsh the go ahead for the twitter whining. He's not the type of agent to do that without consulting with his client first

Was hoping Scott Oake would punch Bieska in the face there.

Absolutely, but also could be argued that an agent is suppose to protect a player from himself too. The goal for an agent is (should be) to do what's best for their clients. It's tricky, obviously Frolik is unhappy and almost certainly has asked Walsh to make a fuss, and you can't really go against a client's wish. But how hard he pushed back is important. And given Walsh's history, he doesn't seem to be one to care about making a fuss, so might not have done anything to prevent this.

Someone start a class action lawsuit on sportsnet.

There’s probably a few dozen TVs out there with shattered screens just from them putting Bieska’s face on their broadcast

Hahah Middleditch has joined the PBP crew for the 2nd period.

They just asked him if the leagues in BC where his character is from allow body contact, and he replied with something along the lines of "Oh yes full body contact. Tip to taint".

But that has to be BS. I don't see any way that Frolik isn't on board with this. I could possibly give a pass on the first one, but there's absolutely no way Frolik heard the first comment, said "Hey man, don't do stuff like that" and then Allen went out and made the second comment.

Frolik is either a) completely okay with this behavior or b) feeding/backing it himself.

Pretty dirty play by Larsson there.

I take "doing a disservice" as not being in the client's best interest. Which I think is correct.

Only the Oilers can make me laugh like this guy:

Ugh.


Sharks up 2-0.

[jayswin]

Thanks, Tampa. Seven F'n losses all year, but sure go ahead and toss another one to the Sharks.

[fire_starter]

2-1 now. Please go ahead and score 5 straight like we know you can do.

[Bunk]

LA is bad. But Edmonton is worse.

[zamler]

2-1 Tampa is never out of it.

[zamler]

Lucic cave brain activated, if it's ever off.

[chummer]

Staples Center is a fun place to watch a game.

Grey and Black uniforms LA? Color TV has been around for about 50 years.

There was nothing wrong with old purple and gold.

Grey is the new black. Also, black is the new black.
