The Dirty Burger posted:Seen this exact post (minus the One Eichel part) every April for like a decade from Sabres fans, like Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football They went 16-9-3 after March 1, including an 8-game point streak. They haven’t done that well that late in the season in the past ten years. Dahlin was playing like a stud and scored over 50 points. Owen Power already looks great. They actually have legitimately good prospects in the pipeline, including AHL Rookie of the Year Jack Quinn who was like 2 ppg. Tage Thompson scored 37 goals, Skinner had 33 and Kyle loving Okposo scored 21 goals. There is a lot to feel good about going into the off-season, especially since they have three first round picks in the draft and a shitload of cap space to spend on free agency. They are finally on the cusp of something great.

I finally got around to building this idea I had kicking around. For when you missed a game, but want something a bit more climactic than just checking the score, and don't want it spoiled, but also don't want to just watch the recap video via Don't Tell Me The Score, for some reason. Ok I guess it's a pretty narrow use case but anyway, behold: Scoreboard Watching! https://dev.gddrt.com/scoreboard/ It uses the NHL API to load schedule and play-by-play data for any game and then replays it on a little simulated scoreboard. Still needs a lot of polish and a few bugs fixed (shootouts are totally busted but I've got until next season to fix that  ) but I'll fix it up as I have time.

Matthews, McDavid and Shesterkin as the top three for the Hart. I know there were a few other candidates but this was probably the most likely top three.

DJExile posted:Milwaukee's already the Chicago market. They're not putting a second team there. Allegedly that's why Milwaukee has never had one, dollar Bill threw a tantrum whenever it was suggested. But he's gone now and the team's reputation is in the shitter. The league rarely does anything that makes sense when it comes to locating franchises, now that they got one stuffed in almost every major western city it's time to test the waters elsewhere. I guess SLC or New Orleans are the most obvious spots left, but after that it's time to start intruding on existing markets.

Hockey's relatively low TV ratings are why they avoid regional overlap. The belief is a team in another's TV market isn't adding new fans, just splitting them in the short term. Long term? Sure, but the current owners will be dead by then and don't want to lose money. So I guess what I'm saying is that now is the perfect time to put a new team in Gatineau.

My earliest hockey memory is losing game 7 of the finals to Mike Richter and the rangers in 94 and I don't think I'll ever forgive them. I remember this year well. I was nine years old and my dad let me and my brother stay up to watch Game 7 Devils-Rangers up to a point. We had to go to bed I think after the first overtime ended. I couldn't even keep my eyes open so I went to sleep and I remember my dad's childhood friend, who was staying with us while going through a divorce, woke us up to tell us the Rangers won. My brother was super happy and I was super bummed and that marked the sibling rivalry of Devils vs Rangers throughout my formative years. 1994 was, I'm sure as it was for many tri-staters born around the early-mid 80's, THE year we remember.

Koopa Kid posted:This happens quite literally every year and I am astounded and respectful of Sabres fans ability to do this so consistently Two things: first, that described Leafs fans up until not that long ago. Second, last year I predicted the Sabres wouldn’t even win ten games. I ended up being wrong, they won like 15 or something, but I had no hope they would be a contender in that weird temporary division.

I had Minnesota winning the cup, oops. Admittedly it was more of a fun pick than a serious one. The playoff field was brutal this season and aside from Colorado and Florida I don't think any team can really be disappointed with a first round exit. (I mean Edmonton and Toronto would melt down but it's not like they were massive favourites. Well Toronto was but that's just because the computer models are flawed and don't include a curse factor.) fisting by many posted:Yeah, I'll definitely add shots. Maybe even shot attempts and some sort of pressure gauge based on shots over the last X minutes. update: I have added shots and attempt counts and made the critically important fix of giving penalty shots appropriate suspense timing. fisting by many fucked around with this message at 14:20 on May 13, 2022 |
