The window for McDavid to win a cup is closing and it's shameful the effort put forth by management to get him a Cup (lemmy.world)

They had 10 years to get him a goalie.

He even took a pay cut of probably $8 or $9 million per year.

So they go out and pick up 2 goalies

One of which was recently in the players assistance program... twice

The other was recently put on waivers by Pittsburgh.

This is the plan that Edmonton had...

Get a twice alcohol dependant goalie and another who was put on waivers

Imagine if they had traded nurse combined with the pay cut

They could have had any vezina goalie they wanted.

Fuk me, the whinging about professional athletes blows my mind
