Right, this is what I have always thought....

...but, why isn't the salary just divided for each day of the season? So Keith is being paid nearly $100,000 for each game played but goes to practice for free? That's what I've never really understood.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Just how it works under the CBA. Keeps things a lot cleaner, or else then "Player A" might be taking a bigger chunk of his salary than "Player B", even though they both have a 3 game suspension, because "Player A" has more time between games.

It's a way of keeping things uniform/consistent.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If only they could do that for discipline.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah. So really, that's not fair either. The enormous gap between max fine and suspension really is just ridiculous when it's all based on a judgment call from Shanahan's bullshit committee.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Seriously. I read a quote where Shanahan said that he equates 1 game in the playoffs to 12 games in the regular season...so that explains that.

And you factor in that it's Shea Weber...in Shanahan's head, he'd be suspending the best defenseman in the league 12 games.

It is fair for those guys that are suspended, but not fair when stuff like this happens, so it depends on what angle you look at if from. The $2,500 is too low, WAY too low. It should be a % of a players salary. 1/82=~0.0122. Make it that. That's the max fine. That's equal to one game's pay. So Weber could have been fined $91,463.41 (or Shanny could just say 1 games pay).

:lol:lol Oh Adam, always good for a giggle.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

We've been way too nice to each other today, considering it's the playoffs.

Blackhawks suck.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Enough Weber talk. It's done, guy is scum as far as I'm concerned from now on, moving on.

Toews finally officially announces it. He's in tonight.

GAME ON FUCKERS.

I love neutral site games. :lol;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I wouldn't be surprised if the Coyotes took a bunch of intentional penalties just to put the Hawks on the PP. Safer that way.

;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Yeah, Weber is a piece of shit. Maybe game 2 he will take his skate off and try to stab someone. His rationale: because of the cup.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You gotta do what you gotta do, amirite?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If Shea Weber ever were to be suspended, his beard would just continue playing without him.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

If Shanny wasn't gonna lay down any sort of punishment, I'd be swinging my stick like I was a lumberjack at the Predators. :lol

"During high school, I played junior hockey and still hold two league records: most time spent in the penalty box; and I was the only guy to ever take off his skate and try to stab somebody."

:lol:lol That movie pretty much defined my junior high days.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

As long as he gets them somewhere so that they can play the next game, anything is fair.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that? ... Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about practice. We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now. ... Hey I hear you, it's funny to me too, hey it's strange to me too but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, we're talking about practice ... How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

We ain't talking about a game.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol well played Mike.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Alright, one more thing about this Weber thing and then I'm done for now:

Apparently Z's helmet was cracked in 3 spots due to Weber's wall smash.

Nice job Shanny on enforcing player safety. I'm pretty sure they were sending players to the box last night for farting on the ice but for some reason Weber gets off with a slap on the wrist for his act of insanity?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Well, when you add in the .1% salary loss, that slap hurts pretty bad...

/Weber

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

What a terrible way of looking at it. I never thought Shanahan was the smartest guy around, but shit, that's moronic.

So I guess Keith could have waited to elbow Daniel until the playoffs and only gotten about a period and a half suspension :lol :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I wonder if someone in the stands yelled "Finish Him" and that caused Weber to go Mortal Kombat on Z?

Two more hours. Can't wait.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Looks like the Flames and Sutter are done.

Oh sorry to all our EC fans... there's a team that plays for the lesser Western Conference called the Calgary Flames. They've been run into the ground by two Sutter brothers. I know... to think the Western Conference is already so bad, to have someone so incompetent running the show is even worse.
