it's about precedent....they lose one now, then next CBA lose another, maybe 2.... and eventually it's at 0 Canadians. I stand by the players who refuse to start this ball rolling. I just really hope there's a way to get the owners on board with it.

again, this has never been about "watching the best football possible" because that's what the NFL is for. This league, to me, is about showcasing Canada and Canadians. As far as I'm concerned, the Americans are just here to fill out the rosters because there aren't enough Canadians...

I'm wildly in favour of clinging to the ratio...I'm here for the Canadian content, period. I'm just really hoping they can find a way to make the owners happy while maintaining the Canadian content. I have much less interest in a league that slowly whittles away their CanCon..... Some interesting quotes here:

well there was also the "ratification bonus" part of it, which I feel the US players were more concerned about than the ratio....

what a ******* mess....this is all my fault for going in on season tickets this year. I ****** the season....

the benefits of being a finisher for McJesus...

Mucklevane (???) too......apparently having a camp....

RNH is a lot tougher than people give him credit for, but Scheifele is a much bigger body, I think. Much stronger than RNH, I'd say. RNH likely a smarter hockey player I think...but there's definitely comparables.

I thought I remember reading a Tait piece about him, and thought he was supposedly having a good camp.... I suppose not. That's too bad, but if the rookies/second years are stepping up, good on them...

The Hyphen, Nuggy or Nuggy Bear...... "Nuge" is just a really really lazy nickname.

He looked really good at times too. That was a weird goal for sure, but he had some huge saves as well. Nice to see the Hyphen have a big game... Love that guy.

Saw Strange on the weekend (not as bad as if been led to believe), going to Top Gun this weekend, Jurassic in a few weeks, Thor in July.... So much great stuff in theatres. I'm also a dork that loves the Despicable Me movies and I'm super pumped for Rise Of Gru....

some details...

Yeah, honestly, I really couldn't care less about this....

If you're a BCS fan, you've already seen it...

New proposal from the league has been submitted...we'll see where things stand after practices today and players have a chance to see the new one.

my take after watching the replay was that they were coming in hard and fast, and Kadri got bumped and lost his balance and fell into the goaltender. He didn't mean to, from what I could tell. It's a fast game, and if you lose an edge, you're out of control.

Not a real surprise, but some info anyhow... I would think the Canadians were voting down re Ratio and the Americans re the supposed ratification bonus that they believed they were getting...
