Around the NHL XXXV - Pre Season Hype #CAMP

[Engineer]

Which one?

blowing down the whistle was incompetence, did you watch that game?

Gifting PP after PP was the bias, again, did you watch the game?

Yanni Gourde has inked a six-year extension that comes with a $5.166MM average annual value.

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Damn...not exactly NHL, but a gorgeous goal by a Victoriaville player just now. It'll likely make the evening highlight reels.

Yanni Gourde Signs Six-Year Extension With Tampa Bay Lightning

I really feel like this contract is gonna bite Tampa in the ass. Gourde's a nice surprise but I'm not sure he can be a consistent 60 point player in the NHL, and he'll be turning 28 when that extension kicks in.

On the other hand, if he does somehow keep this up and nets 60-70 points on average for the next 4-5 years, Brisebois will look like a genius. But my money is on the first scenario.

I would have given him 4 years at most, which I feel he would have gladly taken.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Pettersson is so good. I'm jelly.

They also have to re-sign Brayden Point soon(rfa) , who will command more than Gourde or at least the same.

Yup ... Karlsson to Tampa very unlikely

 

[The Lewler]

lol I'm gonna be in Windsor for work in a couple weeks.

Tickets for Coyotes at Red Wings available starting at $6 USD on stubhub.

I think I'll go just to add another NHL barn to my list.

From what I'm told it's good to just watch the game from one of the bars on sight as it is in the arena proper.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Crazy how Toronto is allowed to basically splatter Murray onto the ice and get two goals from it.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Chiasson has his 6th in his 8th game ...

Then Andersen shields the puck with his body knowing that you aren't allowed to touch him while he plays the puck. bs.

Eh. I'm not about to start feeling bad for the bloody Penguins of all teams.

 

[Engineer]

Hold him to the boards for 10s, then give the penalty to the player being held. K?

$40 USD for parking in Illitch's compound. Outside, there are lots that get progressively cheaper the further you go from the arena. (The neighbourhood gets sketchier the further you venture though.)

Harry's Detroit Bar & Grill is nearby, great pub with great food.

And the sports bars on site are pretty good too, good crowds, decent fare. They seem like they have great game-day energy.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

2-1 Tampa over Montreal after 2. Good game

 

[Sun God Nika]

so happy Spezza is producing again. One of my all time favs hope he signs with a good fit next season.

Man...$40 parking in a city built by the automotive industry. That's pretty ballsy.

Yeah there’s plenty of $10 lots within walking distance or park at a casino for free and play like a five cent slot machine to get validation.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Huh. MISSED THIS

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Is it just me or does anyone else find the way the Sharks/ducks fans chant their team names to get them going in game annoying

Not to mention the lame shark closing mouth arm motion they do

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Oh... Andrew Hammond's Wife Claims Senators Denied Him Needed Surgery

 

[Icelevel]

Chiasson has his 6th in his 8th game ...

He gets to 6 real quick like and then goes cold for 60 games. Stay tuned.

The Motorcity Hotel and Casino is about 1 km away. It’s a straight walk down a big boulevard. My friends took this walk, and a police cruiser rolled alongside them the whole way. They were kind of worried that they were doing something wrong, then kind of worried the cop was escorting them through a bad neighbourhood. The abandoned and condemned houses in the neighbourhood near the casino are haunting.

Make sure to pop to Cesars as well whilst you’re there.

Nice and easy to get to Detroit so that’s a plus, and there was a really good red wings bar that annoyingly I can’t remember the name of

Yeah motor city isn’t in the best of locations compared to other casinos. If you walk the other way down that street you hit Corktown which is being revitalized and has some cool places. Basically Corktown, Midtown, Downtown are the places revitalized so far but there’s still a lot more work to do. Detroit is probably too big of a city land wise than it needs to be.

Still if you have a chance to visit I think it’s worth it, some of the best architecture in the country IMO if you’re into that sort of thing.
