Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Ah, yes, beyond the heat/ice issue... You can blame the Rockets, apparently, for not wanting to share the building. (I'm sure it's more complicated than that, but I don't feel like diving down that rabbit hole.) They'd have to build an arena. (SLC has the Delta Center which is owned by the Jazz owne...

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
1) Yeah, Houston never really comes up, but that is huge city. 2) Mostly agree with you SC, but just to point out SLC is growing in it's own right... Something like 10 percent year over year which is something like the 12th fastest/highest in the country. Denver, apparently, is calming down a bit wi...

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
SLC seems like a fine city and they support the Jazz quite well, but, man... Quebec City must be livid at this point. And no offense to Phoenix, but even in the last game, the announcers are saying how nice it was for the fans in a 4500 seat arena to be mostly Coyotes fans, bc the last 2 times the O...

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
So, as an example, during the last episode, they kept splicing in scenes from Humphrey Bogart movies... It's stuff like that... It's more of a distraction than I would like and to SC's point, it's a little heavy handed (to me). But, overall, Farrell carries the show enough to kind of allow for that ...

Why were you guys saying Philly didn't need to pull their goalie at that point?? The only way for Philly to advance was winning this game in RW, no?

So, I think the Caps have a better overall system to compete in the playoffs. BUT, they really don't have an explosive/elite player anymore that can do stuff that makes a true difference in pivotal moments. The Red Wings have more explosive players, but they lack discipline and the Rangers would've ...

Not shocking, but very unexpected the way this season played out. Youngest coach in the league has a bright future. Fixed a lot of really glaring issues with a roster that was lacking in a lot of areas.

I'm trying not to be too parochial, but they have realigned the Pac12 and SEC, while scattering the B1G to the winds. I just don't see that being how things land.

It's also a little weird bc the Caps have the tiebreaker on Detwah. I guess the fact that DET is playing a team wo any real motivation while WAS is away to a team with a puncher's chance moves the needle.

That was a very weird skit, which I kind of liked.
They've been doing a lot of stuff with former cast members. Which is nice, but also feels like a bit of slap in the face to the existing cast.
