NHL 2021-2022 NHL Out of Town Thread VI - RIP Clark Gillies (No Covid debates)

[Mr. Make-Believe]

yep

Just relocate that f***ing franchise already. Good lord

Bettman wants a team there it seems- what is he going to do, sub the Coyotes out of the NHL slush fund? How do they even make player costs with a 5,000 seat arena?

 

[The National]

yep

Lol that’s bad, throw in the towel Gary.

If Tim Peel (if this is actually him) gets this prediction right, he's already had a better career as a "reporter" than he did as a referee.

That's total BS by the DOPS. Dell should of gotten 10 games or more. Hitting an unsuspecting player heading into the boards. No doubt about it, it was an attempt to injure. Once again the NHL shows its ugly head in protecting their players

Sort of surprised Niku cleared, maybe I’m missing something.

There are reports coming out of Arizona this morning that the Coyotes are close to an agreement with Arizona State University to play their home games at the school's new 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena for the next 3-4 years.

5000 seats? Do you think the NHL will go for that??

He’s been pretty bad for two teams now. Tough to commit to keeping him up on the big club anywhere

Remember all the people here pumping his tires as the power forward we needed? Glad that one got away. He may never return from Russia.

Yea they all should have known he was a sexual predator.

Missed my point entirely. Well done.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Missed my point entirely. Well done.

Your point that the Bruins are lucky they didn't acquire a sexual predator? Not exactly a hot take thats hard to understand.

yep

Does their broadcast crew travel to away games - or do they work out of a closet with basic cable?

my understanding is that only Bruins & Penguins grounded their broadcasters.

Whether that has changed or not I dont know.

That really is amazing considering the value of the franchises and their revenue.

nesn employs the broadcasters. Nesn is majority owned by the Red Sox.
Red Sox dont care.

So what's your problem with it then? I didn't say anyone should have known at the time, just that the Bruins dodged a bullet and as I recall there was talk about a deal for him that had some kind of legs and many here were really pumping it up. It's a deal that I am glad never happened. How controversial of me.

They use Facebook live on their iphones.

That locker room is gonna implode. Pure desperation from Holland.

 

[Sheppy]

He's going to tear it up. Like absolutely tear it up.

I don't like him, I think he's an absolute donkey, but he's good.
