Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Friday Hockey Fix

Thanks, Bill!

I see Maroon plays for the Admirals. I still can't help but wonder what he did to get kicked out of the Flyers organization. Not that I deserve to know, but I can't help but wonder.

Was told it wasn't one particular incident but a pattern of defying the coaches, and it was felt that he wasn't worth the trouble b/c the organization did not project him as a future NHL player.

Nothing but wasted time on him.

I see. When Holmgren gave him the boot he was classy enough not to slander Maroon and give any reasons for his exile.

I'm sure the rest of the league knew for Holmgren to say enough is enough others took notice but somebody as always will still take a chance.

He spent the off season training (eating) with his brother.

So they just cancelled the games up to the all star break. EFF you NHL/NHLPA.

If I were in the NHLPA, that would spur me even more to decertify and then sue the owners in a variety of areas that they can't while currently being a union.

But I still think doing that would be the last thing they'll want to try if this still drags on.

Are the 10-gamers mandatory for head hits in the O now? I like it.

Not explicitly mandatory, but it's become the standard this season.

Pretty much at least for this season, Chris Buonomo of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds was suspended for 15 games for a hit to the head on November 7th but he left his feet.

This 2 wk cancellation of gms will cost owners 266 mil and players 126 mil. Yet they're only 182 mil apart in Make Whole. And that's over the 5 years of the deal. Doesn't make much sense.

That's where I got the information from!


This is even better

So they're $182m apart over 5 years. 182/5 = 36.4m per year. 36.4/30 teams = $1.213m per team. Sound right?".correct


So what's the fricken problem?

It should be the owners since they initiated the lockout but in the end both have to take equal share of it.

The owners deserve more blame in my mind, but I think the players have been guilty of excessive pride. Regardless, you're right it'll take two sides (and two renowned negotiators) getting over themselves to put hockey back on the ice.

Oh they do but the point it is currently at both will have to accept blame, it's past the part you can pick/blame one side nobody comes out a winner at this point.
