Pro clip Nut. Definitely top 5 worst uniforms of all time along with the Isles weird ones, Boston yellow bear logo thing, and Lightning jersey with bolts down the sleeves.

It makes me sad to hear the announcers describing Kariya as the next Gretzky, with how his career ended up. So fun to watch.

Watching Kariya in his prime doing power skating drills was downright awe inspiring. Not quite Bure burst and cut but certainly up there.

About 5 minutes in, and he's going on about the Kangz being 3rd residency in the Staples center. GTFO!
AEG co-own staples, and made BILLIONS on their real estate deals around Staples.
How about sharing that revenue?
Now that development is complete, they are for sale. So what business are they in?

read that AMA, was there anything interesting in it? dude seems pretty junior if he works for a team, as he didn't seem to know much. struggling to see much in there that you couldn't pick up by following the lockout closely from the outside.

1.The players are sticking on 3 principles. A) Contract fulfillment (and I'll answer that in a bit, but it's a HUGE sticking point). B) Definition of revenue, and C) Intangibles

The real reason being ticket sales I'm sure.

Buffalo only got 10k for an AHL game featuring Sabres. I wouldn't be suprised if the KHL drew way less. The KHL is legit to hardcore hockey fans, but it might as well be junior A to most people.

Ticket sales could be a reason since it wasn't even listed as an event.

I was googling to see if I could find any ticket sale info and found this instead. Backstrom wears #99 in the KHL.

Ban from NHL, burn his house, lynch his family, abort future children, and put his dog down.

Inexcusable.
