he seemed like a boyd gordon guy that everybody loved and was a fringe nhler based on his hockey iq alone so he should be a good scout. glad to see he was up and around and even able to skate so quick

It's cool that the well-adjusted people get into scouting or just say gently caress it and go golfing and the psychos like berube and dale hunter go into coaching. We're probably going to see perry, dustin brown, thornton, marchand, and i dunno crosby, all teach their teams to go king of the hill bobby on nutsacks

i think the 5 years remaining on his deal would scare off vegas but 7MM for 2 or 3 years would be fine if that gave them enough salary to take another matt murray or whatever cheap RFA. Looking at the capfriendly quick protect thing maybe dzingel is exposed and i'd take him

they can just pick him in the expansion draft, although i assume offer sheet means that pens fans are resigned to lose matt murray too.

Schlesische posted:Vegas is hoping that people from places like Montreal, Toronto, New York and Boston are going to go "hey, I want to go on a trip to watch my team play, why don't I double up and go on a trip to Vegas". arizona does this and the problem is that nobody wants to see the california teams or the bad teams back east, and now you can throw in vegas/arizona as teams that the other side is going to have a hard time filling the arena half full

and you absolutely can bank on other team's fans to fill your arena. plenty of teams have all sorts of schemes where you have to buy a week of games to see your hawks game or premium pricing or whatever. the problems are that you can't have a 100k seat stadium to fill to the gills with chicago assholes and then a 5k one the next day when the coyotes roll into town to play some really boring hockey

another thing about the arizona snowbirds is that they live here so they're already here in the hockey season. i agree that the plane ride and tickets for less than a game at home thing is probably way less occurring than message boards make it out to be, but seemingly half of phoenix is from philly/pittsburg/ny/minnesota or wherever too.

I think players are going to gently caress with the rules no matter what, and the only reason they should switch to a plane vs the line on the ground is if it's easier to call correctly. That one in game 2 where we had a grainy ice-level still was godawful because the skate blade was reflecting the light colored ice and disappeared into the white boards. That said, the entire "did he pick up his skate" review process is terrible TV and maybe they should change it because of that alone.

I think i'd trade any attempt at fixing the offsides challenge for being able to challenge penalties. Everyone in the NHL repeats the mantra of "well we gotta get it right" and then it seems like every other game there's a slow motion shot of a guy whiffing on a high stick and getting called for it anyways.

infrared lasers from the ceiling and an infrared camera feed the refs can look at, and then change the offsides rule to be a plane instead of skate touching

i'd take toews or hossa but i don't think hossa wants to be a coyotes and toews would have to win an arm wrestling match or mantracker showdown against doan for 19.

this was on puck daddy a while ago that's a little more complete:quote:June 12: Teams that are due to submit a protected list, excluding those preoccupied with a (potential) Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, have until this point to request players with no-movement protection to waive that immunity. The Penguins and Predators will be extended until 5 p.m. ET the day after the Cup is raised, meaning a Marc-Andre Fleury sit-down could occur up to three days after, say, Kevin Bieksa is called into Bob Murray’s office. 12th could be interesting, 22nd could be insane

this was a really bad final basically from dumb luck and not because of some warriors kevin durant superteam parity problem. the goal differential for the winning team was +18 in the final 5 games of the series, and the preds did win 2 of them. i think i watched maybe 2 games spread across the series because i'd turn on the tv and the score would be 3-0 or there was some bullshit goal or non goal or review going on. hockey is great but this wasn't a good example of it. also there was no overtime
