The Man Known as Dan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 For the record, as an American Hockey fan, I have zero interest in watching the Oilers. Had zero interest in watching the Crosby led Penguins too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 You also publicly declared you would quit watching the NHL when the Oilers won the draft lottery then probably hoped like hell no one would ever bring it up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 So Bettman wrote a letter to congress denying CTE and decrying them for "misleading" people. Joey Ryan wishes he was as sleazy as Gary Bettman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a grand total of 2 Blues games this year, so I held up on that one pretty good. Was that even me? Can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buy Me a Burrito Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I don't know where to put this, but here goes: there's a chance that I'll be in Calgary in October. The Hurricanes are scheduled to play the Flames on one of the days that I am going to be there. How hard is getting a ticket? Is the arena friendly to a non-obnoxious fan sitting somewhere and cheering for his home team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a midweek game odds are you should be able to get on the secondary market for significantly below face. I recall being on StubHub last season and seeing prices in numerous markets and being surprised how low some of them were and Calgary was one I noted in particular. As for the fans I don't think that will be a problem as it's not like you are a blood rival like the Oilers and Calgary isn't exactly Philly. Heck even Philly isn't that bad if you aren't one of their big rivals. Hope that helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy Me a Burrito Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Oh totally. I'm super happy that he got an extension. Francis has remade the team this year. I hope our defense stays steady, and our forwards stay healthy. I think if Aho plays like we hope he can and Terovainen turns into the guy we hope he is we have a team that will challenge for a playoff spot in spite of our goaltending.

There always seems to be plenty of them there, anyway (the Nucks fans, especially). As a Canes fan, I wouldn't worry about it at all. For tickets, you could also check out this app: https://www.tiktiks.com/ I've never used it myself, and I don't know how prices compare to what you'd find on StubHub. But it's another option to look into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 How good is Jagr? I showed this video to someone over the weekend and explained a finer point to him. When Jagr has the puck on his stick he does not push it forward. He carries the puck in stride. His puck control is amazing. Don't pay attention to Jagr so much as you pay attention to the puck in relation to his stick and then his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Read Bobby Orr's book and I highly recommend it. His comments about overcoaching and systems stifling creativity and brilliance are spot on. If a Bobby Orr came along today I sadly think an awful lot of coaches would nail him to the bench for being too reckless and not making safe and conservative plays. I think it's the biggest problem the NHL has and is the prime reason most games are unwatchable dreck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 In the unlikely event any Isles rep lurks on these boards I'd like to let them know I still have yet to receive my tickets, which considering the first game is this Monday is sorta' important. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I really hope Josh Ho-sang becomes a huge star because he is so much fun to watch. I hope he shatters the idea that players have to be boring colorless uncreative robots to succeed in the NHL. I want to see brilliance, skill and artistry, not overcoached unwatchable junk which is sadly what at least 90% of NHL games are at this point.

elizium Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The Jets installed an organ. Home games just got even better. (Well...an organ synth, but its not like they were going to retrofit the joint to fit an actual organ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
