Random SBP Thoughts
- How's this for an SBP screwjob: Thursday marked the last payment of my car loan and with less than 100,000 kms on my Jeep, figured I would enjoy a few more years payment-free. Well the car gods had another plan in store for me, as I had a $1300 repair bill that I had to pay for that same Thursday. Don't count those extra dineros just yet...
- The quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup featuring Canada vs Honduras showed why the sport is still a hard sell in Canada and the United States: only one goal by penalty kick, a horrible call resulting in said goal, and non-stop diving throughout.
- This garbage about insurance being a concern for NHL players to participate in training camps for the Olympics makes absolutely no sense. If they can insure a player who sticks his hand in a snowmobile and injures himself as a result (Joe Sakic), surely they can figure something out for a player that will bring his training and on-ice preparation from these Olympic camps to his own club?
- The stupidity of the NHL continues with the support of bids to keep the Coyotes in Phoenix for about $75 million less than Jim Basillie's bid, and that doesn't include a relocation fee the courts said the NHL could charge if the team were to move to a new city. I just don't understand how the rest of the NHL owners can sit there and let Bettman continue with this madness when they have a chance to share the extra revenues generated by a potential move.
