the window on your favourite sports team is starting to close before it was even open because time runs us all down

@FriedgeHNIC In real time I understood what Kyle was saying with the McDavid and Josh Roy first goal clue. You got to keep up my man, get dialled in.

@enosarris listening to the recent episode re: kids sports. it has to be about teaching kids to set realistic, achievable goals. setting the goal as ‘to become a professional’ isnt the way to become a professional or have fun. the way in for kids needs to be:

@enosarris a) how can you have fun b) how do we have fun and get a tiny bit better at this, and once that is achieved work on another skill. the best athletes in the world are the ones who get excited/have fun by the routine of getting better every day.

@enosarris and if this doing these athletic actions dont get you excited to practice, let’s find an activity that does

@enosarris Is pitching velocity most/more correlated with injuries or wins?

@katecallen your article titled: ‘Is this the end of lettuce? Why Canada’s food supply is headed for unchartered territory’ is incredible. It really covers the entire scope of the issue while being concise, and includes a couple of funny lines.

Of the $67.2M cap hit the Arizona Coyotes now have on the roster, 57.6% of that is allocated to pseudo-retirements, cap retention via trade, and contract dumps. To repeat, that is 57.6%.

The ownership group has faults, like the timely payment of bills which lead them to playing in a college area and now they dont want to field a competitive team for 3 to 4 years nor spend to the salary floor
i want hockey to succeed in arizona, don't get me wrong, but we are verging on money laundering territory over here

This isnt the conduct that should be associated with a major league professional sports organization. The owernship groups OWES MORE TO THE FAN BASE

This is true. The ARZ ownership cut out a point of leverage for Armstrong. Not being willing to spend money limited his ability to swing deals with certain clubs
I suspected (and reported multiple times) that this might impact Bill Armstrong's ability to make the deal he wanted. In a flat-cap era where numerous teams are bumping against the cap, when you aren't able to take salary back, it impacts the deal.

The Golden Knights have never scored a goal with Evgenii Dadonov in trade purgatory.

(whispers) this is karma for making the dadonov move in the first place, which inexplicably added five million to a capped out team last summer.
I’ve had two sources tell me this morning they believe the Evgenii Dadonov trade to Anaheim will likely be voided. Nothing official, just what I’m hearing. Apparently Dadonov filed his NTC with Ottawa on June 30 (prior to July 1 deadline) & VGK never received it from Ottawa.
