We don't get TNT up here but it seems like a pretty big deal that hockey is on TNT this year eh? Some of the podcasts I listen to are making a big deal about this new 7 year deal where NHL will split between ESPN and TNT.
I thought everyone down there watched ESPN but is TNT bigger for sports now?
TNT is really a basketball network when it comes to sports. They carry some MLB and some NASCAR races and some college football, usually just SEC games, but this is their first foray into hockey. TNT is definitely NOT what I would consider a sports network other than their NBA coverage (which I don't even watch).Quote:

What the hell?
Holy crap...

Another week, another Evander Kane update.
On Monday the NHL announced that Kane has been suspended for 21 games “for an established violation of, and lack of compliance with, the NHL/NHLPA COVID-19 Protocol.” Kane will not receive any pay while suspended.
On Oct. 6, a report from Front Office Sports revealed that Kane submitted a fake vaccination card to the league and the San Jose Sharks, which is an illegal offense in both Canada and the United States.
“I would like to apologize to my teammates, the San Jose Sharks organization, and all Sharks fans for violating the NHL COVID protocols,” Kane said in a statement. “I made a mistake, one I sincerely regret and take responsibility for. During my suspension, I will continue to participate in counseling to help me make better decisions in the future. When my suspension is over, I plan to return to the ice with great effort, determination, and love for the game of hockey.”
The NHL also stated that the allegations of domestic assault from Kane’s estranged wife Anna, “could not be substantiated.” This is after Anna claimed that Kane was gambling on his own hockey games, which the league’s independent investigation also could not find any evidence to support.
“While we are encouraged by Evander’s commitment to moving forward, we are extremely disappointed by his disregard for the health and safety protocols put in place by the NHL and the NHLPA,” the Sharks said in a statement on Monday.
Kane is entering his 13th year in the NHL and his fifth for San Jose. Through 56 games last season, he scored 22 goals and 49 points, leading the Sharks in both categories.
Kane is an idiot who seems determined to sink his own career.
Imagine trying to pass a vaccine card.... to play in the NHL, an international league :lol: What a guy.
The wife's allegation seems to be behind him at least, but there will be more shitshows with this guy before he's done, I'd bet on it.
Damn... Hayes had coke and fentanyl in his system when he died. He'd recently been to rehab for problems with prescription pain meds... such a waste, and I'm sure incredibly tough to take for the family. That said, good for them for coming out with it. Two huge issues people need to be more aware of. The first is this is yet another pro athlete with a pain pill addition, and that needs more attention.
The second is that kids these days seem to think coke is just a party drug. It's gotten popular again (at least around my parts) but people don't realize how common it is to be laced. Our local government put out a statement saying that HALF of drug overdoses showed use of cocaine and fentanyl, and most of those people had no idea they had taken anything other than coke.... doing any powders is incredibly stupid obviously but people need to be aware just how stupid it really is now. Coke isn't a safe party drug despite what frat boys think.
That is bonkers
Kraken's home opener in their new stadium was great tonight. Only made better by the Nucks winning on their pretty new rink :D
McDavid has 13 points in 5 games... he's on a 213 point pace :lol: It's very early and this league is rough, but just maybe Wayne's 215 point season isn't impossible to beat after all.
That's like saying when a baseball player has a 3 home run game on opening day that he's on pace for a 486 home run season :lol:Quote:
