Quebec City is tiny. Winnipeg is struggling again.

Maybe they’ll move to Phoenix!
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
We were the Aeros so it makes too much sense for them to move here.

LA is playing this third period like they want no part of the Oilers.

Whoa. LA leapfrogs Vegas in the standings on the last day of the season!
Third straight year for LA/Edmonton in the first round.

This year the playoffs look really wide open to me. There’s only a couple teams that don’t appear to have a decent chance.

Seems like this every year. Lightning, Avs and Knights, the last 3 winners, all start on the road.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
yet Winnipeg v2.0 has never lost money. There's some tomfoolery in these reports about supposed "troubles"
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I wondered if the bitching about support we’ve heard was just some ownership gamesmanship.MaxWebster wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 9:19 am yet Winnipeg v2.0 has never lost money. There's some tomfoolery in these reports about supposed "troubles"

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
All sports teams lose so much money really ownership is an exercise in altruism please say thank you and give more public money.

While that may be true, a vocal minority has criticized the Jets for complacency for awhile now.MaxWebster wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2024 9:19 am yet Winnipeg v2.0 has never lost money. There's some tomfoolery in these reports about supposed "troubles"
the team.
The well-documented problem is that the minority has grown, the sellout streak is history and Winnipeg is now reporting a 27 percent decrease in season ticket sales over the last three years, from 13,000 to under 9,500.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
fun fact
Sean Monahan is the only player in the league to play 83 games this regular season.
Cast aside by the Flames at 26 years old, with a 1st rounderer included! Then Montreal traded him and got another 1st rounder!

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Netting the two trades of Monahan, to and from Montreal, the Canadians received two first round picks and a third rounder (and some good play from Monahan) for… nothing.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Apparently the deposits were only a hundred bucks a seat. And they haven’t announced prices for the actual season tickets yet.
Utahns are desperate for national attention. This place went crazy when a Hard Rock Café opened. So I think this’ll be a huge deal for a while.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I bet a lot of rangers fans were complaining in their rangers text chat about Rempe being dressed but definitely not me for sure.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
You are very much the epitome of restraint.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Speaking of restraint, Wilson is clearly hunting Mika up high and I think it would be cool if someone were to stab Wilson with a skate blade.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Hate him too but he’s smart since the Rangers did the same thing to Crosby two years ago and when Trouba finally connected it arguably won them the series. Damn him!

Is this where I tell mister d I’m all in on New York professional sports teams not named the Islanders currently in the playoffs. Having awesome friends is awesome.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
The white-out thing they do in Winnipeg looks pretty cool on camera.
I think Anaheim does that in the playoffs, too. But it’s been a minute since the Ducks made the playoffs.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I justify this by believing that since I’m as harsh as anyone about Trouba or Rempe, it negates their dumb shit and I’m still a good and deserving fan.
Yes. Ignoring the above, especially Rempe since he seems to revel in his fuckups, these teams are super likeable. I hate Villanova and I’m still all in on these Knicks and especially Hart. Kreider winning a cup would mean more to me than any athlete of my lifetime except Henrik. You are welcome to join this ride.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I blame the Colorado GM for their loss. They’ve got as much high-end talent as any team, and they out-shot Winnipeg two to one. But they couldn’t overcome their lack of a goalie. Not a new problem - it’s been there for a couple seasons, now. Management should have found a decent replacement by now.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Felt comfortable for about 13 total seconds of that game. Thank good for Georgiev.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I’ll always love Georgie for punching DeAngelo straight off the roster but this goes for him like it has gone for Talbot and every goalie before and will go the same way if we lose Shesterkin in free agency … if you don’t have Benoit Allaire, you don’t have a Rangers goalie.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
was thinking about you - the only game i watched this weekend and it was a good/lucky choice. man *I* was freaking out and literally not comfortable until the final whistle
also were you as surprised as i was that a. the goal counted and b. it was overturned that quickly (not saying it wasn't the right call - it was - but we didn't see the one angle for a while on the telecast and well, these things haven't gone well in the past ...)

It's just stupid. 20 years since, the NHL still doesn't have goalline technology. Antiquated sports like soccer, rugby and cricket are way ahead.MaxWebster wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 10:41 am i know sorry sorry - i thought of you when posting it.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Yeah watching live I thought it was in and out off the back of the net, so when they showed the first replay of it just going post to post, and doing that weird curve, I was definitely tugging on the shirt collar there. Must have been one of those cases where they saw a certain angle before TV had it, and it was in, because I was really expecting a long review.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Martinez is $5.5M so that’s a big chunk of it. Also I think the cap is 23 players in the regular season but the solution you (and others) have proposed — counting the 20 players dressed for postseason cap purposes — would also mean $4-5M is sitting in the press box.
ETA: I think that’s the best “solve” for the LTIR thing though who knows what the NHLPA will say about it. I don’t want to belabor the point too much but the NHL monitors ALL LTIR transactions very carefully to prevent chicanery.

Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
Yes, the NHL monitors it super tight yet every year multiple contenders have players who get healthy right in time for game 1 of the playoffs. C’mon. It’s smart to use it; you don’t have to pretend it’s legit.
Re: 2023-2024 NHL Season
I’m legitimately wondering how much sooner Stone could have theoretically returned last year and this year. Last year was back surgery in late December and this year he went out at the middle of February with an injury that historically athletes have needed 2 to 3 months to heal from.
In either year probably only a week or two sooner at best.
