Re: 2020-2021 NHL Regular Season Thread
ok, as repulsive as it seems (and my initial reaction was disgust).... is it really worse than what we middle aged dudes so-revered back in the 70s/80s/90s with divisions named after fucking horrible people (Norris/Adams/Smythe/Patrick)? Even typing those out makes me feel so nostalgic.... but they were total shitheels.
SCOTIA DIVISION BABY! i'm all in for our corporate hockey overlords.
(i can't even tell if i'm being sarcastic or not....)
p.s. i apparently suck at Swamping. i'm new here, give me a little rope.

That's a good one. While I don't want the NHL to get to NASCAR level advertising, I do want to see them maximize hockey related revenue.

So you have listened to a Washington Football Team radio broadcast.

First set "Crosby has unexpectedly left the ice and headed to the locker room" tweets of the season (he came back). Yay hockey.

He is still the only Swede to ever score 50 goals in a season. I think you can stump alot of people with that one.

Yeah, that shouldn't be possible and yet it is. William Karlsson of all people is like #6 or something like that on that list with 43 goals.degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 3:59 pm He is still the only Swede to ever score 50 goals in a season.

Peter Forsberg never scored more than 30 goals. That might win some bets too. In 1991, Tomas Sandstrom scored 45 in 68 games playing with Gretzky, so injury prevented him.brian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 4:24 pmYeah, that shouldn't be possible and yet it is.

Bolts decide to not allow fans. Affects Raptors too.

Re: 2020-2021 NHL Regular Season Thread
Smart. Fans outside at football stadiums at 15 percent capacity was one thing (and arguably still not smart) but indoor arenas at almost any capacity seems like playing with fire.

1,000,000%
As STM, I had the option to get a 10 game package, or a 5 game package, and politely declined. Those packages were not guaranteed to be in our seats, as they'd come up with a plan to do their best to distance the groups of 2 and 4 seats from each other.

Removing Milbury and adding Babcock is not really an improvement.
