^^ Still has 3 years left on his current deal after this season.  Do they still have to pay him?  Also, that would mean the Blackhawks would put him on permanent LTIR until the contract ends or does that mean that the contract is over and it will not count against them in the cap?

He was reclusive and, if I recall correctly, was the only member of the MOI team (other than Mike Ramsay, who was, at the time, an assistant coach for the Wild) not to take part in festivities at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.  I just read about his arrest in 2019 and the court's finding that he was incompetent to stand trial.  Sad story.  He's the second member of the MOI team to die (following Bob Suter in 2014).  RIP.

They won't have to pay him.  Whether there are any future cap consequences will depend on how the contract was structured.

Well, Florida and Vancouver still carry cap hits for Luongo.  There are some really weird rules for retirement and cap hits that I don't understand.  Actual payment is different - I think the player completely forgoes their salary.

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/31010243/chicago-blackhawks-defenseman-brent-seabrook-announces-retirement-15-seasons

Brent Seabrook is a POS and quite honestly it doesn’t break my heart at all that he’s physically unable to play hockey anymore. Cheap shot artist and horrible human being. May all his sins come back to haunt him heavily as he ages.

If there was a ‘spit on you’ emoji this is where I’d put it.

No clue, but let's hope the league gets it right and hammers him hard with a long suspension.

In the meantime, Tarasenko is back on the ice for the Blues! :metal :metal

Hoping the Kings get the extra point.  Not sure they deserve it after that rather inconsistent game, but hey....

Eh, ugly way to lose, but I will take getting 3 points out of those two road games at LA (considering we almost lost in regulation Thursday).

Blues are 10-2-1 on the road.....I’m not too upset about it.

Uhhh, that game was yesterday?  You had an ugly way to lose today.  Kings had an ugly way to lose yesterday.  Let's just call it a push.  No harm.

I've been watching hockey a long time, and I've never seen this stat quantified before. they showed it during the Knights/Wild game tonight and I took a pic off my TV. It's an interesting stat.

Fascinating.  Not surprised at Connor being #1.  Brady Tkachuk does surprise me.

I'm surprised McDavid has been called for 7 penalties. I didn't realize Speeding could get you two minutes.

Well, that was a bummer.  Losing against the Ducks 6-5 in OT.  I will assure you this.  No one, in their right minds, would have taken the over in goals if they were betting on this Kings/Ducks game.  The previous game between them was 2-1 Ducks and the Kings didn't really put a great effort regarding offense that game.  Neither Petersen or Gibson had a really strong goalie game in this game though.  Coming back from 5-3 in the 3rd was a fun ride though while it lasted.

You can probably blame me.  I walked into my office yesterday, and there was a Ryan Getzlaf bobblehead on my desk with no indication where it came from.  I eventually learned that one of our office assistants found it in her and her boyfriend's storage unit.  She knew I was a hockey fan, so she gave it to me.  I assume my failure to immediately destroy it in fire was the cause of the loss.

Hated to see the Blues lose in OT to the Sharks, but they went 4-0-2 on a road trip. I will take that.

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-nhl-signs-seven-year-broadcast-deal-with-espn-222207219.html

Ugh, I was afraid that was coming.  This will now force me to watch ESPN again.  :tdwn :tdwn

Would we finally be free of Pierre Mcguire though?  Also, according to the article, it looks like ESPN owns half the rights and will air the Stanley Cup Finals for four years between 2022 and 2028.  I wonder who gets the other three years?

Quote
According to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston, the NHL has signed a seven-year U.S. broadcasting rights deal with ESPN. The U.S. sports media juggernaut will own half the league's broadcasting rights throughout the life of the deal, according to Johnston.

Neither the NHL or ESPN has confirmed the agreement, which is expected to see the Stanley Cup Final aired on ESPN four times between 2022 and 2028.

At this time, it's unclear how much ESPN will pay for the rights, or which company they will timeshare with. At current moment, NBC has the exclusive national broadcasting rights in the United States.

Not sure, but the fact that Doc Emrick, who is on my Mount Rushmore of national sports announcers, is retired already makes this a lot easier to handle.

I never worshipped Emrick, but holy shit, compared to John Forslund and Kenny Albert, I'd take an Emrick hologram calling the games.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll put Gary Thorne and Bill Clement back together.

Thorne filled in for Bob Miller on the Kings broadcasts a few years ago, and it was a seriously great blast from the past.

That would be nice, but Gary Thorne is almost just as old as Doc Emrick, so I'm not sure if Thorne is up for the travel and the grind.
