Jeff O'Neil admitted on the radio he showed up to camp way overweight and Paul Maurice told him that he would have cut him loose if Antropov wasn't hurt.Guru Tugginmypuddah said:cabber24 said:I doubt they'll get away with terminating the contract because he's out of a shape?CarltonTheBear said:"I know that there have been reports out there that suggested his body fat was as high as 25 per cent. I don't know if those numbers are accurate," McKenzie told First Up on TSN 1050 Toronto. "What I can tell you, and what I do believe is accurate, is that he was a good 30 to 35 pounds above his playing weight. So I don't know what percentage body fat he was, but I can tell you that the relative expectations of what the Lightning expect him to play at versus what he showed up as, it was a good 30 pounds."

If Ottawa was smart they'd put Bobby Ryan on a diet consisting entirely of cheeseburgers and milkshakes.
Depends on how it's worded in the SPC. Which for Tampa to say it's for Material Breach of Contract, there must be something in the contract relating to fitness level.

Jeff "Snacks" O'Neill
Tie got 8 games for his sucker punch to Ulf. Max should get 10 but probably won't. There is no room for this crap in hockey anymore.CarltonTheBear said:https://twitter.com/NHLPlayerSafety/status/1042624339202519040
He probably won't get any regular season games, which is dumb, but on the other hand having to open the season going head-to-head against Matthews/Tavares/Kadri seems like a fair punishment.

Big deal. Costs him nothing. The NHL dropped the ball again. Could have sent a good message but didn't.herman said:CarltonTheBear said:https://twitter.com/NHLPlayerSafety/status/1042624339202519040

No it's not. They're playing in the NHL for the preseason so you simply suspend them for the preseason and whatever games of regular season in the NHL. Simple as that. So if this player ever does make the NHL, they will still face a suspension before being allowed to play.cabber24 said:There are guys that play in the preseason that won?t make the team so it?s a a hard call to make.

Exactly. Just because they may never actually serve the suspension is no reason not to hand out appropriate punishment.

I know it's pre-season and all but I'm pretty excited to see what Kovalchuk does this season.
?I feel bad about it,? Domi told reporters at the Canadiens? practice facility. ?It?s not the way I wanted to handle that. It?s an emotional game and, obviously, I?m an emotional player. ? I feel bad about it and hope he?s OK. But, I have to suffer the consequences of it."
