ATTENTION FRIENDS !!!

Please note that someone has now begun posting here under the erroneous names of “blomfelb” and “Ib4joey” ! Of course these names are fake and they should in no way be confused with either “yours truly” or blomfeld. blomfeld already has a good handle on who’s behind this little caper. But for good measure, he has also asked his old friend “Stransky” to take a look into this (ie: Stransky is a physicist and an expert in forensic causation analysis) and he’s assured blomfeld that he’ll have the name of this imposter within 48 hours, with a margin for error of “plus or minus” 2.5 hours. Once this imposter has been identified, then suffice it to say that he/she will be “dealt with” quickly and ruthlessly.

This is completely different. Pronger had been hit in the face multiple times.

“General manager Paul Holmgren told CSNPhilly.com Saturday that the club doesn’t believe the injury to be serious.”

The same Paul Holmgren who said Chris Pronger was out because of flu-like systems and will be back soon? Suuuuure.

Yep, must be Crosby’s fault.

I am sure if this player got hurt in Philly like that Shanny would be handy out a suspension.

I can’t speak to all the paticulars but I know that most of the big money players that have gone overseas have taken out insurance policies on themselves that protect them from they’re NHL teams severing ties with them if they are injured.

An example of this is that it would cost 400,000 dollars a month to insure crosby because of the size of his NHL contract and his concussion history.

im pretty unfamiliar with alot of the overseas contracts.. are these players gettin medical/health insurance from the contracts they sign or are they paying it themselves? either way im sure some of the nhl contracts have outs if players get hurt bad enough in another league if something like this were to happen.

More collateral damage. All these injuries to players overseas is going to hurt the NHL when the league activities resume.
