Around the NHL 2023-24 season thread - part II

[Bleedred]

yeah i've been to that arena many years ago i liked the location a lot. team goes from the burbs to the city to wanting to go back to semi burbs?


so this building is 27 years old prudential is 17 so expecting major updating talk in similar 10 years?

No chance

There could be some kind of renovation to the bulding in the next 10, 15, 20 years, but I don't think there will be a new arena.

There's not really much talk replacing any of the 90s buildings in the NHL in current time. I've never heard any talks about replacing the building in Philly, which is over 10 years older than Prudential Center.

Vancouver and Toronto have both gotta be from the mid to late 90s. Same with whatever they call the building in LA these days.

And then you got the San Jose and Anaheim buildings from about 93 or so. Tampa's building is also late 90s, same with the Panthers building. United Center in Chicago has gotta be coming up on 30 years, same with the current Garden in Boston.

Most of the league's current buildings are from between the early 90s onward, other than MSG, which had a major renovation just over a decade ago. And also Calgary from the early 80s, but the talk of replacing that has been going for a long time and I think they're supposed to get a new building before the decade ends.

The only other building I constantly hear talk of replacing is the one in Ottawa, but that's because of location more than anything to do with the shape of the building.

I assume the Flyers are trying to bring their 6’7 goon goalie over now

Perhaps this is the Flyers paying them to do it and they agreed? Shows it's possible?

Yeah they did, they did it over a few years and this was the final year of all of it. Think they put like 400 million into it.

400! The building had to cost that to make!

Wikipedia says...

"August 12, 1996 construction cost US $210 million ($415 million in 2022 dollars)"

You guys are killing me, time to get off here for now, going to watch the Titanic for the first time, simple love story to ease my mind, unless you want to ruin that too.

true.

It does actually.

I won't use that again. Oof.


In fact, I went and removed it.

Flyers, Caps and Wings lost their games. Islanders won. We are in 5-6 points away from play off spots. Caps have 1 more game in hands, we have one more games in hands ahead of flyers.
Caps have games against detroit and flyers in the end of the year, we have games against flyers and islanders, islanders have games against us and flyers, flyers have games against us, caps and islenders(but other games are easy matchups).

Devils still have a chance in this circumstances, but mostly need to win every game.

It’s no problem, you didn’t have to! I was just saying that’s why I gave the big eye emoji.

With this team there is no such thing as an easy matchup lol

Nah.

I removed it because it was hurting MY eyes.

Perfect timing.

I’m listening to 32 thoughts right now and they’re talking about him right this second.

He’s apparently going to be the tallest goalie to ever play in the NHL. They said we’ve never seen a 6 foot 8 goalie play in the NHL.

I thought Ben Bishop was close enough?

Swiped from a mainboard thread (I’m not proud).





In honor of this achievement, Nate Bastian will say a few words (in those sweet Reverse Retros 1.0).

The scuffle (March 16 2021, 3-2 W)



Breakdown of classic convo:

Skinner did actually score that game. It was Skinner’s 2nd goal and 3rd point in 25 games (hence the chirping). Bastian has 6 points (2G 4A) in 26 GP by then. (I think Nate says “I have more points than you” at some point as well.)

 

[MadDevil]

Kind of off topic, but the way the green almost looks black on Bastian's jersey just makes me realize how good those reverse retro templates would look with black. Although the Jersey jersey has slowly grown on me.

 

[MadDevil]

Huh. So the no points if you pull your goalie in OT and lose rule is because of Torts.

 

[Bleedred]

What happens if someone accidentally puts it into their own net on a delayed penalty in overtime? Do they still lose the point?

I thought in that case they still get the single point?
