Around the NHL 2023-24

f***ing vile

 

[Gliff]

Sounds like next expansions will be Arizona/Atlanta, because there is no such thing as a lesson learned.

Honestly both locations didn't really get a good shot with the owners they had.

Arizona is 100% a good location for a team. The population is growing super fast, there are already hockey fans, etc. Better Arizona then Milwaukee.

Part of expansion should REQUIRE an actual hockey arena. Not a basketball arena that they play in, but a true investment into the team's longevity.

 

[Terry Yake]

agreed

coyotes were doomed from the start with their arena issues and later on, having to endure one shit owner after another. same thing with the thrashers in regards to ownership. ted turner didn't want to spend a dime on them and then they were sold to a group that only bought them because they had to and began looking for a buyer right away

with owners who care and an arena for the coyotes, both markets could succeed

I lived in Arizona for college, and I can’t attest to the fact that the arena in Glendale was a chore to get to. Even for like $20 lower bowl tickets it still was at times more annoying than it was worth to go all the way out there. They have the market, they just need a centralized arena.

That is a man who has lived in defiance of the gods for almost too long.

He lives out of god's light and by consequences outside of his love

The next Arizona expansion will have the same ownership group, that's the major problem. He's not allowed to sell the right to the next expansions team, either.

Buffalo firing their coach. Surely the next one will be the right one right?

Caps-Flyers tonight should be interesting

Part of the problem with AZ too is their infrastructure. Its why the mayor of Scottsdale said absolutely not. The ownership just wants to build anything, anywhere, and doesnt seem to care that the infrastructure cant handle it. The cities are more worried about what that does to traffic and the living of their residents.

Sounds like ownership has just been trying to throw money around without thinking of the impact on the city itself.

Zero chance he is the owner for the next AZ team. AZ should be a priority for the NHL, but the owner has zero chance of making it happen. He will have to build an arena with his own money (something they have been trying to do for over 20 years now) AND pay the NHL back the 1 billion in 5 years. AFter the 5 years they can go with another owner and he loses the rights to the Coyote branding.

I would give it 10-1 odds against Muruelo being involved in the next iteration of the AZ hockey team.

Part of the sale from Arizona to the NHL is an expansion team back to Arizona within five years as long as an arena deal is found.

Could the NHL thrive in Atlanta on a third attempt?

With whispers the NHL may expand again in coming years, two Atlanta groups are seeking to try it again in that city for a third time. What's different today and why do they think it'd work this time? Scott Burnside writes about Atlanta's NHL outlook.

I've always said, when Keith dies and they do an autopsy, modern medicine will immediately advance 50 years based on what they learn from that guy's body. Mark my word.

Nashville is just a terrible, terrible matchup for Vancouver. Canucks fans are way too overconfident right now, the Preds could very well stifle that lineup of theirs.

After the global nuclear collapse will destroy the World and 99.9999% of life, the cockroaches will have a hell of a time hanging out with Keith Richards

If the game is tied, Flyers will have to pull their goalie in regulation to get the win.

f***ing heathen.

Judging by people's reactions, I thought he was eating ranch by the spoon or putting it on his pasta or something. I saw nothing wrong with any of what he did on the video. The pasta toppings were eccentric, to be sure, but it didn't sound bad. And maybe it's a little bit of overkill on the amount of ranch, but ranch with grilled chicken is very tasty.

Ketchup on the pasta?

 

[JAHV]

Ketchup on the pasta?

It's weird, sure, but there's already tomato sauce on there. It's not like it's something totally out of whack, like orange juice or something.
