I was told that players are paid per game with cheques arriving every 2 weeks during the regular season. So December 15th doesn't matter unless less games can be played. I could be wrong.....please correct me if I am. Cheers.

They are paid twice a month - on the 15th and 30th - according to the number of days they're on the NHL roster. They're not paid per game, because teams don't play games at the same rate and players can be traded during the season and never miss a game yet play more or less than 82.

Sorry Ek, not this time.....I know you are in the business of driving hits to the site, but really gonna need more than a " source " this time. These guys don't care about the harm they are bringing to this games only about who looks better when this mess is over.

Sure he did, along with all his close NHL friends, some of whom are named Crosby, Ovetchkin and others. It was a conference skype call.

How big of a douchebag is Allan Walsh and How does he still have clients?

- PuckingOpinion



I'm sure if MA Fleury found out his agent was annoying you he'd fire him. The guy was a ferocious prosecutor. I m sure he does a good job standing up for his clients.

His time as a prosecutor has nothing to do with hockey. My question was simple and I don't really care what Fleury thinks, I watched him play junior and he's overrated.

If you have a twitter account and follow Walsh then you know what I'm talking about.

I personally hope the season does start in January but I also hope the greedy knob players do miss the December payday, Frank them and UnFehr too!

Typical blonde, lol Did you hear about the blonde that bought a regular seat on a flight to Seattle but insisted on sitting in first class because a seat was empty, nobody could get her to move until finally the pilot went up to her and whispered in her ear, Look lady the first class seats are not going to Seattle! The blonde quickly jumped up and returned to her seat

Gay as in happy?

what's funny is seeing your cartoon post, all the while thinking how lucky Phaneuf is while looking at your avatar, I don't know now if this confuses me more or the fuc&ing CBA nonsense soap opera
