If you've seen his instagram you know he's a low level vigilante in Manhattan and one of his favorite causes is going after cars that break traffic laws Well he saw a car in the bike lane and intentionally rammed it. He refused a plea deal and he's get hauled to criminal court: Ex-Ranger Sean Avery rejects plea deal in criminal mischief case https://pagesix.com/2019/07/15/ex-ranger-sean-avery-rejects-plea-deal-in-criminal-mischief-case/

NJ is known as the armpit of America. It's actually a sprawling state divided into a NYC service area, a Philadelphia service area, and the Jersey Shore. It is true it gets quiet and clean once you get away from the main roads and peak behind the road sound barriers, but that's not what you see driving on the turnpike or anywhere near Newark / Trenton / JC etc..

Dan Girardi says hello

It is for many, but then again the cost of living in NYC is significantly higher than other American cities. That's why the pay is so much higher here for everyone except salary capped professional athletes. Dolan is laughing all the way to the bank, insane revenues and he's not allowed to put it back in the team. But that's New York, what about a player in San Jose with even worse California income taxes and not much to do to have fun. It's just not a level playing field, all teams in taxed states should have the option to give players a cap-exempt bonus roughly equal to their extra tax burden versus zero income tax states

It is the Rangers problem, either they miss out on a free agent because they are willing to take less and net the same in Nevada, Texas, Florida, whatever - or teams in those states can fit more talent under the cap than the Rangers because the players can take a discount and net the same and they are tougher competition

Unlike Karlsson, Kreider has to pay income tax in NY. Nevada is a tax free state so the Knights have a big advantage

that's what it means in every language, except apparently in the nordic countries. He's Kakko not Kakka though The guy from Game of Thrones who plays Jaime Lanester is from Denmark, his wife's name is Kakka

Bad news is this guy's agent is hockey's version of Scott Boras, only more of a hardass. He's going to demand "max money"

Gorton's moves since February, plus we're getting either Kakko or Hughes, and he signed the two Russians (Igor & Kravtsov):

Rangers give up: - 1 month of Kevin Hayes - Neal Pionk - 2nd round pick - 3rd round pick In exchange for: - Jacob Trouba - Brendan Lemieux - Adam Fox

brooks is a fucked up guy

yeah pretty much agree with this. hughes or kakko, slow or fast

I can think of worse diseases for an athlete than one which forces him to eat protein all the time :)

the Jets just PhilJackson'd the draft

You would have to perform a much more detailed analysis, but it's not that hard to do. The TSN guy looked at 10 years of draft picks from 2000-2009. You can put all those players in a simple database along with their lifetime stats and run a bunch of quick queries, like narrowing it down to top 15 picks vs back 16 in round 1, or having a chart with different criteria for an "NHL PLayer" like X points scored for forwards or

50+ games played what really hurts is picking that bust in the first round outside of that 80% hit rate

No that's correct, the odds of a 7th rounder becoming an NHL player is almost like 18% - those are the stats. The odds of 1 of 2 hitting is additive, so around 35% is right. The chance of BOTH making it is a multiplier, so then it would be more like 4% The hit rate really flattens out from round 4 to round 7: http://images.tsn.ca/images/stories/2015/2/12/yost-draft1_53958.jpg

That's the wrong chart. The odds for one out of the two making it is actually 70% (2+2) http://images.tsn.ca/images/stories/2015/2/12/yost-draft2_53987.jpg

I thought the Jets fan base was embarrassing and the Giants fanbase was classy

He is racist, before the draft people said he would never pick a black quarterback and he delivered
