HOLY gently caress posted:https://x.com/russohockey/status/1781434489996202056 well that's one way to develop a player  If you have to ride a rookie with broken ribs the entire season just to have a chance at squeaking into the playoffs, who by all appearances is going to be a franchise player, uh, maybe you're better off just punting? Sadly reminded of the athletic's latest award watch article where they mention that Faber was plainly more valuable than Bedard and deserved serious Calder consideration right up until around the midpoint of the season whereupon he suddenly became mediocre. (*mediocre as a rookie 1D is still pretty impressive mind you!) Guess we know what happened.

Duckman2008 posted:Nashville Predators. Fun location, their fans have fun chants at home games, they have a fun core of Sauros (goalie), Josi (defense) and Forsberg, and are def still underdogs. If he is placing Chicago as an instant "no" based on their lovely handling of, well, everything then maybe suggesting the team right behind them in employing abusers and sex pests isnt the right call. Vibes based teams are harder to come by in hockey simply because "tradition" is still a huge thing at every level and it turns players into boring repetitive robots or evil caricatures of hockey players. Vancouver and Seattle spring to mind as both have a young enough roster with some talented players making them fun to watch with low stakes attached so the fanbases are a lot more tolerable. Dallas and Colorado are more talented and fun to watch but expectations are higher and their players and team seem to have a lot less personality (Dallas has the best organist in the league though). Carolina as a team has a lot of personality but they keep hiring racists and bigots to offset it. Philly without Torts can be fun in a slow motion car crash kind of way.

Maybe this is obvious to people who know things, but since the arena fits 14k for hockey according to wiki, how does that work? Are those just "intent to buy" season tickets and there's a lottery or something? E: Also I noticed Phoenix Arizonas survived for 27 seasons, beating Minnesota North Stars by one season for longest living now defunct team in NHL history. Does that make them the best losers or the worst losers

In AHL news, the Syracuse Crunch (TBL’s farm team) lost embarrassingly to Utica Comets (NJD’s farm team) last night. A win would have secured them #1 in the North Division but now things are wide open for both the Cleveland Monsters (CBJ) and the Rochester Americans (BUF) who are tied and one point behind Syracuse. Rochester plays Utica at 3pm and Cleveland plays Toronto at 4pm as the second half of a back-to-back. Someone made this crazy chart showing every possible scenario today: https://x.com/ahlpr/status/1781879430723334594?s=46&t=ZmcWuigp8va-srUE4rOQ8Q Rochester is the only team that didn’t play yesterday so I’m hoping they can use that to their advantage and win the division! Hopefully they will make it to the ECF again and beat Hershey this time, but Hershey is insanely good for the second year in a row. The Amerks have Devon Levi this year who has been playing really well, he could definitely carry them all the way to the Calder Cup.

Rochester won in regulation but so did Cleveland so Cleveland won the division on tiebreakers  Amerks vs Crunch playoff series coming soon. Cleveland will play the winner of a 3-game series between the Belleville Senators and Toronto Marlies. I’m gonna get AHL TV so I can watch all the Rochester games.

The Denver Nuggets are already the consolation for the Broncos' slide into irrelevance. In my amazingly humble opinion, don't bandwagon a team having tons of success now/the past few years, it feels cheap if they win in the short term and within a couple of years they're going to bottom out again. If the Sharks got Celebrini I'd say they're the easy choice, but they're not gonna.

I picked the Penguins when I was a kid purely because Mario Lemieux was my favorite player growing up. Geography didn't play into it (by geography I shoulda been a Whalers or Bruins fan). My dad is a Devils fan. Had the Penguins moved idk what I would have done. I probably would have just continued being a fan of wherever they went to because it'd be hard to have dropped them after getting attached to Crosby/Malkin. I would just watch a bunch of games and pick a team that feels fun to you.

Eric the Mauve posted:You'd have abandoned the Kansas City Penguins while they were terrible and then come back to them when they got Crosby Well they would have moved while having Crosby already. The move (if it happened) was gonna be in like 2007 or so. If they had moved in the early 2000's instead when they also had big issues? Yeah I dunno. Maybe I abandon the team at that point. I moved to Tennessee around then so probably I would have just become a Predators fan had that happened. Preds are still my favorite west team and I do go to some of their games.

I think we're talking about different things, when the team was bankrupt in the late 90s they were right on the brink of leaving town, before Lemieux and his partners stepped in. That's what I erroneously assumed you were referring to.

The Sabres will get the dead cat bounce for a season, make the playoffs, and then the fans will be cursing Ruff with every fiber of their being the following year. But maybe maybe ending the playoff drought is worth it.
