Hal Johnson Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yup, I'll be watching. I do like some of the ideas kicking around facebook, like turning your back on the game when the puck drops when your at the arena. Wouldn't do much, but at least sends some type of message (not that the league would care), but ya, something creative like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 like turning your back on the game when the puck drops when your at the arena.Phish secret language not withstanding, that's fuckingretarded. "YOU PAID US! HAHAHAHHA!"The only thing that would open up their eyes is seeing the coffers take a huge hit and they know that's not going to happen. Why? Because some marketing firm in the US determined that NHL fans are the most loyal out any of the NA professional sports leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/extras/bruins_blog/2013/02/tim_thomas_trad.htmlThe Bruins have traded two-time Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas to the New York Islanders, the team confirmed Thursday.According to the team, the Bruins will receive a conditional second-round draft pick in 2014 or 2015. Thomas told the Bruins last summer that he did not intend to play this season, and it's not known now if he has changed his mind or if the Islanders have acquired him in hopes of his coming out of semi-retirement.Thomas, 38, told Boston general manager Peter Chiarelli last summer, upon making his decision, that he hoped to return to hockey after this season, with an eye on possibly playing again for Team USA in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.Thomas, who carries a $5 million salary cap hit, would have been paid a pro-rated $3 million if he had played this season. However, his pro-rated $5 million cap hit has counted against the Bruins' salary cap this season. His trade to the Islanders now would remove that number from the Boston payroll.Thomas played in 378 regular-season games for the Bruins and led them to the Stanley Cup championship in 2011. He had a 196-121-45 record in the regular season and was 29-21 in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Very clever on Garth Snow's part. The cap hit of $5M counts, however since Thomas is suspended he actually does not collect any salary. So the Islanders managed to hit the cap floor without spending a single penny.
