So... it was finally done.

My nephew, who got his first "real" haircut since cleared after last cancer treatments (about 18 months ago) I went to have our hair chopped. Was something I promised when he ended his treatments.... then covid hit and we did not get to spend time together.

We both had hair to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society - 9 inches for him and 12 inches for me.

Good bonding experience

Feels good to have a normal head of hair again.... what a horrid summer, but I got to live the 80s teen hair dream I never got to have in high school.

So the Habs complained to the league that Carolina is only playing 4 preseason games even though the CBA says they have to play six.

There's no penalty in the CBA for not playing 6 preseason games, so nobody really knows what to do.

The Isles, Devils, Sharks and Preds all only play(ed) 5.

Wasnt aware of the complaint.
Nice to see we are still harping on each other

Hey, Karine! Just wanted to thank you for the articles dealing with the Carey Price situation, and the continued focus on the Habs during what was left of the preseason.

You convey your thoughts and emotions with ease, and they make your articles a joy to read. Look forward to many more during this, what can only be called challenging, upcoming season.

Merci!

Well, I think it will be a tough one no doubt, but the Habs won't finish bottom 3 in the league as some are saying.
- Karine Hains

Oh, absolutely not.

It will be a fight for the last wild card spot and they will miss and pick 15th at the draft.

it's pretty funny if it's true. I hope it never stops.

Well...remove two Habs games to this preseason, I might have been less depressed. I understand why they complained.

In fairness, I'd like to forget 5 of the 6 Habs pre-season games, so I am with Carolina on this one...

My guess is, in the world of small Richarded billionaires trying to big Richard each other, this is Molson's way of saying "our team makes lots of money in a revenue sharing league, the least your barely profitable team can do is play the bare minimum of games". Either way, pretty petty

Is there a HovkeyBuzz contest to see who gets the most 504s?

Also, is everyone tied for 1st place?

Does Price count against cap?
almost 31M in infirmiry

Gotta know where to spend your cap dollars.

Just ask the Lightning.

Neither does anybody else. Seems like a rule was clearly broken but nobody has any idea what to do about it, if anything. Fun!

so bring back Price and Weber for POs?

Presumeably on LTIR or suspension, no?

Would that make Eichel a viable target?

Yeah, except Habs did not get the memo to use that money elsewhere to make the team actually good enough to make the playoffs.

The longer this goes on, the less I want Eichel here, and I never wanted him here with that back problem + contract to begin with.

Habs don't have what it takes to make an offer for Eichel. Also, no way Buffalo moves him within the division.

- BINGO!

What's weird is that teams are in charge of making their preseason schedules, not the league.

- braidan

That should be the plan, Price seems more likely though.
