I don't get to decide what is legal or illegal. I just find it interesting that Hockey players who are paid what they are paid, because of the skill that they possess, and the money the generate for the League, are unethical because of the money they make. Watching illegal streams on TV, not that I have a personal problem with that, is not unethical. Certainly watching NHL games on illegal streams is not a way to create change. Criticize the players for the money they make, while watching the product they create.

Its pretty fun to watch but to say whatever skill, say for example Crosby has is ethically worth the money he gets is intriguing.

At its core you are free to believe these guys are worth what they make. In terms of a society view, with a growing disparity between rich and poor. To have these boys making this much, with a continued increase in yearly cap.. Again intriguing. My point isn't about making the league crumble by not purchasing their online showcase service, that's just weird. The little things I can do, while still being able to enjoy the sport on the highest level globally, I will.

If there's a god, Kessel is gonna be Mr. Irrelevant again.

On the same token, I hadn't realized how ugly he is until now.

We used to have much more intense one's back in the day. Especially on the last lockout. I don't mind this "one". Although its worn out. Not going to convince one to change, had my poop fun and gave my thoughts. Rock on.

I don't know what the deal is, but he played 20 minutes + a game in the last two games and now he's injured and can't play in the All Star game.

So, basically no Penguin representation in C-bus. A couple hundred miles from Pittsburgh? Something is smelling rotten. At least Geno wasn't playing last game. I just don't think his ego could handle getting picked after G. Or worse, having to play with him.

I don't take him too seriously, that's the key. If you do that, you can have some fun.

That Toews line about Kessel being coachable was so good that it already faked an injury and went home.

Had to cut to commercial break. Reports were a Rinaldo, Zac found his way into the building and was streaking toward the stage.

Pierre: are you having fun this weekend, Alex?
Alex Ovechkin: eh. kinda.



that's about as good as his exchange with Pierre at the ASG a few years back...
Pierre: Alex, how did you come up with that move? What was going through your head?
Alex Ovechkin completely deadpan: i don't know i'm so excited right now i forgot.

There isn't a single logical or reasonable argument that can be made to show that the money either the owners or the players make, is unethical. They've created a product that generates billions of dollars in revenue. There is nothing wrong with any player getting whatever share of that revenue pie he can command. Nor is there anything unethical about an owner making whatever profit the product they have invested in, and created, brings them.

I was shocked about that as well. Something is fishy. Big event to promote the game. Crosby played right before and was fine but he decides last moment to be a no show.
