Life changed

Doug Wilson 4th in GM of the year votes.

Burns distant 2nd in Norris votes.

 

[LadyStanley]

Full voting on Norris

 

[Barrie22]

That will anger leaf fans lol. They were already upset he wasn't top 3, but being 5th will make them angry beyond anything else.

This one screams DWjr to me, Burke loves to go for the foreign pups.

Pretty sure Burke only has eyes for Boston Terriers.

Nice. Someone who actually has been following the team for a couple of decades so has institutional knowledge.

If I'm reading between the "lines" correctly, Tomas Hertl is posting photos on his FB account from his bachelor party (IOW, soon to be married).

Makes sense. When you allow 4 goals on a PP, that is a some great bang for the buck.

Chicago was at 107% lol

 

[Used As A Shield]

I am definitely burned out on going to the tank, only go to 1 or 2 games a season the past two seasons. Used to always grab the 10packs. Honestly i think a more natural ebb and flow of tanking and gunning for the cup would fit my interests better attendance wise than the steady "same shit, another year". That natural building of excitement and wanting to see it in person.

But I also can no longer partake in eating or drinking much at the tank (celiac disease, so no gluten), combined with hour+ commutes on gameday, and no longer working with a boss I'd carpool with to games makes it all a bit tougher to weigh on it all seeming worth it.

Also lots and lots of comp tickets cause of the casino's

 

[Coy]

I think if the Warriors have a down year it might help Sharks attendance. Also traffic has gotten way worse in the past few years. I have to leave work early if I want to make sure I can get to the game on time.

Also lots and lots of comp tickets cause of the casino's

Casinos might give high rollers tickets to suites. They probably also have chunks of tickets for concierge distribution. But the early public sales of tickets goes fast and secondary market tickets have good sales too. Majority of STH do actually attend games.

The team also does SRO (in a couple of bars and the "Flight Deck"/mezzanine) and that's where the majority of the excess goes (to folks standing all game).

 

[LadyStanley]

Awwwwww. The NHL remembered.

 

[LadyStanley]

Brush up your resume

 

[LadyStanley]

Guessing this is at Hertl's wedding

 

[LadyStanley]

Ok then

Wedding picture

Is this the same girlfriend he had when he moved to the US? I just remember her from the "This is dream" day, and I wasn't clear if it's the same person he married.
