Good Soldier Svejk posted:Would not at all be surprised if this spurs a bunch of players to "retire" to the KHL this offseason. Nobody important is leaving the NHL over this. Did the PA make any kind of counter-offer to the NHL saying "extend the CBA 3 years and you can go"?

Dave Gove, who used to be a Penguins minor leaguer and coached the Wheeling Nailers, overdosed on heroin yesterday. Expect another story soon about the dangers of opioids and painkillers in a violent sport, and how little teams care about handing them out.

Koopa Kid posted:For real, if that last series is what "letting them play" means then I'll take tightly-called penalty-fests every game. No other sport chokes the life out of their stars like hockey does. Baseball might do their best to squash personalities but star players still win games there. If the NBA was reffed like playoff hockey it'd make that 1994 Knicks/Rockets final look like the Harlem Globetrotters.

The teams don't get any extra money from those outdoor games. What the Penguins got in exchange for the Stadium Series home game, for example, was a makeup cost for losing a PPG Arena home game. The money on top of that, the NHL kept.

Lost Season posted:I think the big issue with Kansas City is that the arena they'd use is owned by the same group that owns the Kings, and the league really wants to avoid the conflict of interest. Plus, I don't know that KC has anyone motivated to bring hockey to the town in the same way Seattle, Quebec, and Las Vegas do. I seem to recall reading an article not long ago that the KC arena was making money hand over fist with just concerts, the odd college basketball game/tournament, and other small time stuff and that it was proof maybe arenas like that don't need an anchor tenant any more.

Suspicious posted:The (dumb) argument is that 3 point games would invalidate all the old point records, as if the loser point doesn't already do that. It can't just be this. We had regular season OT added, loser points added, shootouts added, the regular season has gone from (in the expansion era) 74-76-78-80-84-82 games, none of that is consistent or fair.

Feels Villeneuve posted:Nothing is as bad as the last few Nike NFL jerseys with the awful looking collars.. Good news! They actually got rid of those. Bad news for the NHL is I absolutely do not trust Fanatics to make replicas while Adidas makes authentics next year. I'm really glad I got a white sewn Crosby jersey with the 50 and 100 patches this year because I honestly don't know if I'll ever buy another one. Honestly all the leagues are loving up their jerseys. The NBA is selling ads, MLB is putting the UA thing on the chest, gently caress it all.
