I hope Yakupov makes it back just so we can get more life out of this. I blame the Oilers for ruining him.

Hand Knit posted:How many of the top 10 things in hockey history are some version of off-ice confrontation? Because there's Terry O'Reilly going into the crowd, the Flyers fan going into the box to fight Tie Domi, and, while they don't make the overall list, I love Tortorella at the Flames dressing room and injured as gently caress Darcy Tucker going from the press box to rinkside to try and get at Cam Janssen after Janssen hit Kaberle. It's the hockey version of auto racing. People love the races but are really only watching hoping to catch an epic crash. People love hockey but really love when the media filter breaks down and we get to see what it's really like inside the league.

It's a pretty good example for coaches to demonstrate why you never pass blind, ever. See it all the time in beer league, not sure why a paid professional is trying that poo poo. Also if you get that close to the goalie with the puck you loving shoot it.

I'm not sure a winning move for a team that just won two cups is to bring in some old slow dude just because he's a cool guy. That's like the exact opposite of what you should do and will only hasten the team's inevitable downf-- oh now I get it.

If team owners are worried about their income, then maybe they should run their business like a business instead of a giant circlejerk with all their best buds, randomly flailing around and hoping it results in positive income. Then begging for handouts when it doesn't happen. It shouldn't be THAT hard, they've got a captive audience that most businesses would kill for.

I don't expect them to give up money, but it would be nice if they could have a little bit of foresight and come up with a plan to improve the league in the long term. Like how about they push for 10 years with no lockouts?

That's a dangerous road because it generates the concept of retroactively revoking trophies from players who played before anyone gave a poo poo about athlete conditioning. It's just a greatest of all time argument disguised as something even worse.

Well the logic is pretty simple: if you put NHL players in the olympics you may get new hockey fans, may not. If you keep them out of the olympics you 100% won't get new fans. This is a fundamental concept of marketing, if you're not out there showing off your product you're not gonna sell anything.

clean ayers act posted:The 2013 Wings-Blackhawks series, in which the Wings went up 3-1 on the Hawks before losing in game 7. That series basically convinced the front office that the team didn't need a full rebuild and probably kept Holland in a job 5 years and counting longer than he should of been. That series was loving amazing though. So many storylines!

NHL is in a weird spot because there's already the precedent of goalie masks and I guarantee if they clamped down on players running with custom colored skates it would start a shitstorm. So I figure as long as players keep it subtle and avoid conflicting with any advertisers the NHL has deals with they'll be fine.

It is a bit suspicious that pretty much every bad thing that's happened to the league in the past 20 years can be traced to one of two people: Gary Bettman and Martin Brodeur.
