GDT: 2023 NHL Global Series LA Kings vs Arizona Coyotes @9:00pm PST/12:00am EST 9/22-23/23 game 1

Should Arizona change their names to the Dingos for this game to appeal to the locals?

Funny!

Kings vs Coyotes? You can't even market this game to NHL fans.

After the game(s) can the Coyotes stay put they might be able to be League Champions in Australian League

The front Koala looks pissed, mad that TM in the back can't even get the Koala line right. Maybe the humans will take him.

"Why I bet you're the kind of koala who will. *** a koala in the *** and not even have the common courtesy to give him a reach-around."

Nhl has done a shit job marketing this series but that’s the nhl for you. All their skits/interviews/practice is like a minute long lol. Typical.

And from what I've seen, neither teams logo is on any of the signage or ice. Its just global series Melbourne. No team stuff anywhere.

This ice isn't good either. Looks like they sent Dan Craigs third cousin to do the ice instead of him. Straight up b-team stuff.

Arizona Dingos vs. LA Governor-Generals

[Fishhead]

So we get to hear Nick call his first game tonight, yeah?

 

[shuchukfan]

I have a feeling I'm totally going to forget the game in on at 9pm.

I'm sorry but I just can't get excited. This game is pointless.

Can't wait for people to make a bunch of conclusions based on a meaningless scrimmage. It happens every year.

Kinda like all preseason games, right? One new line clicks in the pre , then when they go up against top nhl guys they produce very little or
nothing.

If I was a player involved in this I wouldn't play especially if the Ice is as bad as you say it is and I'm sure in a converted Tennis Stadium it can't be great! But then again wasn't a Frozen Fury played in like 90 degree heat once in Vegas?

Regardless its hockey season once again boyz

I wonder if Australians are torn between cheering for an Australian-born player and cheering for Kings, which is a reminder of being under British colonialism

They are still a part of the commonwealth

Meh, most couldn't care less about the monarchy. It's mostly just a thing that gives us a public holiday every year for their birthday, which is nice.

I kinda figured, but unfortunately that's the best my limited sense of humor can think of.

But I appreciate the input from someone more familiar!

My strategy is to watch the replay of the games on ESPN+ first thing in the morning instead of turning myself into a zombie. It worked pretty well last year.

Imagine traveling half around the world for a preseason NHL game?

Now imagine being an NHL fan in Autralia and the NHL sends LA and Arizona half way around the world for those fans...

Can we make it past page 3 before the Debbie downers start talking about how the season is already over?

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'll watch the 1st period . Got work tomorrow sadly.

Happy Englund and Doty are playing.

 

[Shellz]

It’s finally time.

Honestly kind of nice seeing Lewis back with the Kings. I’m sure that will disappear quickly though.

 

[kingsfan28]

anyone watching the espn feed, who's calling it?

 

[DoktorJeep]

How does the PA guy not have the Australian accent?

 

[kingsfan28]

[DoktorJeep]
