Jenalysis Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Sounds like they think they can make things up over the Olympics. We're going to have a lot of problems these next few weeks (and hopefully its weeks) Hockey in particular is a sport which encourages rapid transmission.

elizium Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The US forfeits their upcoming game against Switzerland in the World Juniors (yes, this is non-NHL, but the juniors are NHL-adjacent since it’s one of those “the stars of tomorrow…today!” things) It was only their second game of the tournament, so that doesn’t bode well for it finishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Red Deer is literally the last place in Alberta I would have attempted this given the, uh... local "politics" about covid. Can't even say I'm surprised, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 But will he play "Lady of Spain" again? Seriously, raise your hand if you had "organist from iconic 70s hockey movie scores organist job with NHL team 40+ years later" on your 2021 card. You fucking liar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 A story too unbelievable to be made up: Someone sitting behind the bench who's just starting medical school uses a smartphone to pass along a message to Vancouver's equipment manager that they have a concerning mole on their neck, turns out to actually be early stage cancer which was treated successfully due to early detection. Buck wild. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Heard a similar story a couple years regarding a local newscaster somewhere. Viewer saw something, told the station, and they got an early cancer diagnosis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Nothing entertains me more than the NHL paying no attention to the weather of a region when selecting outdoor locations and then being pissed when said region has its usual weather (Warm in Vegas, Freezing in Minnesota, etc...)

Death From Above Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 It's all burning down in Edmonton. I don't have the energy to even break it all down but the Cliff Notes are: - Every single person that warned me about Holland after his last few years in Detroit was right, he's a dinosaur the NHL has moved past - Tippett is exactly what I thought he was tactically, but I didn't know before he was here what a ridiculously stubborn fool he is about not abandoning bad players - We have 600 year old Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen again next year - Suggestion: The Duncan Keith Disappear Forever You Jabroni Challenge - As I've said at least one coach before, maybe two? I can't even remember anymore. Nothing will really get fixed as long as Bob Nicholson and the old boys run the show Time is a flat circle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another round of thanks for taking Andreas Athanasiou off our hands AND giving us Sam Gagner AND a pair of 2nd round picks for him. Hope those 9 games were worth it, BWAHAHAHA! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
