Death From Above Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Oilers won tongiht. Game was a total fucking mess, referees just all over the place. Darnell Nurse got a high sticking penalty for another guy hitting himself in the face for the second time in a week and it might not even be the most egregious thing in the game.

I really, really would like to have seen Sid, McDavid, Alex, Stamkos, and a few others in the firewagon 80s. The numbers they would have put up would be right there with Gretzky.

Death From Above Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Apparently there is an outdoor game in like two hours between Vegas and Colorado? I swear to God even though Sportsnet is broadcasting it I just found out like 10 minutes ago, on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Sheldon Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Damn the NHL to hell for making me feel a tinge of nostalgia over the Nordiques throwback sweaters. This looks like it would be a tough game to play in with the sun glare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) I mean the visual of an ice rink near an actual lake is awesome. But that sun has got to suck on the ice and tough on the players eyes So I guess we are going to have the longest intermission ever and restart at night.

RIPPA Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Game will resume at Midnight EST/9 PM PT I think the funniest thing to me is pretty much how everyone is not surprised the NHL forgot to factor in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they're waiting until 9 local time (midnight eastern) to restart. Seems like a long time to wait after sundown, which is 5:43pm, but I'm snowed-in in Tennessee so there's that.

Dewar Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 The game is being played in Lake Tahoe. When they played the outdoor game in Winnipeg, it was also delayed because of the way the sun was reflecting off the ice. Ice wasn't melting though, so they only had to wait a couple hours for the sun to be low enough to not hit the rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we in one of those wackadoo periods where one place is observing daylight savings and one isn't? Because it is a 3 hour difference between EST and PST and Lake Tahoe is in PST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I still firmly believe the Oilers have average goaltending (at best) but hell, they're running hot so let's roll with that. Flames get crushed 7-1, Oilers sweep the back to back. McDavid had 5 points in the first 29 minutes. It's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Eh - I will just mention this here Mike Babcock is the new HC at the University of Saskatchewan Apparently it is a two year volunteer contract so he isn't too tied down if the NHL comes a calling again. And the current season is cancelled due to COVID so there is a chance he might never coach a game for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I expect them to trash Babcock after he won a Cup for Detroit but they could have just ignored the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 All I want out of an all-star game is any sort of draft format that lets me see McDavid and Pasta Neck on a line together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 There is a very weird developing story where Artemi Panarin is taking a leave of absence from the Rangers because people in Russia are not happy about his criticism of the Putin regime and there's clearly more going on than is coming out publicly. I'm also not going to give the time of day to the hack job media story the Russians put out on Panarin until someone credible says otherwise.

Ah, the 1990s with Sergei Fedorov and Pavel Bure being threatened by the Russian mob, have returned. Sure hope nothing comes of this and Artemi is able to get his family to safety or it's all a big fuss over nothing.
