players are interested in getting escrow down below 10%. The cap won't be $100M in 3 years.

Helps to guarantee a revenue split. I don't see how you get rid of it, but I'm sure you could find a way to lower it.

3-ways to lower it:

1) Change the 50-50 split
2) Include more things in the definition of hockey revenue
3) Don't increase the cap.

Seems like 1 of these 3 is a lot simpler to accomplish than the other 2.

One and two might involve another lockout..

So, number 3 it is..

you're amazing.
you can see into the future.

well we only have 10 years left so its not that hard

the 'journalist' who wrote the article should be embarrassed that they posted that quote about datsyuk without fact checking it.

would probably make a great blogger on here though.

Not really, it's an interview piece. The writer doesn't have to try to debunk McCarthy's opinion.

uh?

mccarthy stated babcock's misuse of datsyuk and zetterberg in the finals was the reason they lost.

datsyuk was injured for 4 games in the finals. mccarthy's opinion is as worthless as ek's.

Really? He was a member of the team. Why would his opinion on the coaching of his team be worthless?

perhaps he was healthy enough to play and babs being the bad coach he is said "NO, YOU MAY NOT PLAY"

BET YOU DIDNT THINK OF THAT EH MR TUMBLERS

That actually makes sense..

It wouldn't surprise me if Babs decided on benching Datsyuk to give more ice time to Darren Helm.

There's also an implication in the picture he paints that it's the overall strategy that was a problem, including player usage. Datsyuk did play in the series as did Zetterberg. Mccarthy didn't get into more specific minutae of the coaching, but he did give his overall opinion and a couple examples.

Max must have received a timeout for the "sucking rooster" comment,

Max you there?

Maddona 29 min

Datsyuk 2 min
MacCartney 29 min
Draper 25 mins of draping her with amazing clothes
Lidstrom scatched for Comoddore

You're streching. It was a simple opinion.

Everybody can find a reason to complain about their boss.

This just sounds like female doging from a guy who was sent to the ahl for being old.

His beer soaked jaded memory from the bar instead of the bench sucks and looks like sour grapes.

Com'n zezzy. This was a useless 'kadri was invisible hawt take'.

Or should we ask lupul if babcock screwed him and continue the public therapy session of ex-players?

A lot of people hate him.

He doesn't have a job anymore.

Do the (frank)ing math.

He's probably got one more job in him, if it doesn't work, he's probably done for life. What I think will be really interesting is Hockey Canada's picks.
