grcenter47 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 kovalchuk has just kind of said 'this is team'. lou is silent. the NHLPA lawyer is being played by a cutout of al pacino from and justice for all who keeps yelling about the court being out of order - he's not getting anywhere. i don't think this is a good sign. I read your post and I immediately thought of this espn commercial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 well homer simpson probably said it at the same time that you were 3 years old. (this is not meant as an insult, merely incredulousness at myself for expecting people to get a 17 year old television reference). if this goes on for a third day i know someone's going to pull a rupert pupkin from the king of comedy on mr. richard bloch. hell, i'm about to. i've got kovalchuk and lou and NHLPA lawyer cutouts in the basement and am holding my own personal arbitration hearing. Are you going to kidnap Gary Bettman and secure him to a chair with mountains of duct tape like Sandra Bernhardt did to jerry lewis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) I'm glad that we've moved onto movie and TV references, from that whole ninja thing. This is much more entertaining And for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, go check out the "Solution to Rolston problem" thread. DIG's most recent post is the funniest thing I've read in a while Edited August 5, 2010 by Devsfan118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CADevilsFan Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 TG says decision due Monday at the latest, I guess Friday is out? My guess would be that Bloch takes all the time he has. But then again, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The real life Gary lives in NJ. We should organize an NJDevs rally outside of his house! That made me think of... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB_KEjJ06uI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkyDano23 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 TG says decision due Monday at the latest, I guess Friday is out? Well, if it's Monday @ the latest, one could presume Friday @ the earliest, I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 So since it's over, how long until insider sources start telling us the decision...before it's actually been made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 So since it's over, how long until insider sources start telling us the decision...before it's actually been made? according to one source, kovalchuk signed a 7 year contract on july 6, so this never actually happened.

maxpower Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 TG says alot of things. I do think time will be taken, though. It's not like the arbitrator is going to run back to his hotel and start writing an opinion immediately, on one of those little notepads you get in the room.

Triumph Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 yeah i wouldn't expect a decision before monday, although it's a shame that he can't give the thumbs up or thumbs down tomorrow and then deliver the written decision monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm hoping for. "Unofficially" declare your decision sometime tomorrow or this weekend, then hold a press conference and what not to release your offical written statement on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in the organization is telling him anything other than "status quo" and "don't you worry about my cap" TG has mentioned "sources" several times, and I don't ever know him to have been wrong when he reported something that his sources have told him. Earlier this week, when a lot of places said the hearing was to start on Tuesday, TG was willing to accept it but maintained that he heard from sources that it would start on Wednesday. Lo and behold, he was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then we're right back to worrying about the Kovy case He mentions Saturday or Sunday as possibilities though, I was under the impression it could only be Friday or Monday cause those were 'business hours'?

ice dog Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) thats why Bettman didnt show today, he was afraid his head would explode like in 'Scanners' Scanners...what a classic!!! Or like Masked Fan's avatar, though this would be far, far more disturbing. LoL! that and sammyks avatr are my favorites. NSFW LoL! my cousin works for the LAPD in Hollywood...i should post this on his facebook page... TG says alot of things. I do think time will be taken, though. It's not like the arbitrator is going to run back to his hotel and start writing an opinion immediately, on one of those little notepads you get in the room. Bloch's probably in his motel dressed up like David Copperfield performing magic tricks in front of a mirror with an escort he found on craigslist. can't wait for this to be over; just want to be able to go online and order my Kovalchuck Army soviet style T-Shirt Dammit!
