Yeah they played St. Petersberg SKA of the KHL. It was a rough game. Lot's of cheap shots taken by SKA. Maurice held Staal out of the third period because they were taking runs at him. Gleason pounded some Russian after a cheap shot on Staal. Gleason was ejected. Landed about 7 or 8 solid punches to the guys face. It was great.

Why the NHL even allows their teams to play these scrappy little rat teams is beyond me.

Yeah it was huge over in Russia. They had like 2 hours of pre-game ceremonies. Gleason is one tough s.o.b. I remember last year(I think) when he got about 12 stitches in his face and came back and scored the game winner in overtime.

They took a run at Skinner too. He barely dodged a knee on knee hit that would have probably injured him. Canes didn't play bad the Russians just played dirty.

Can't wait till Thursday and Friday. Start of the season. Both games on Versus.

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
