My team finally gets to play a game! Lets go Wild!

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Weird that most of these games aren't broadcast nationally in Canada.

 

[Silky Johnson]

NHL should suspend any games in Stockholm until Avicii Arena upgrades the bathroom situation.

It was horror show bad. Our section had 4 urinals and the line was miles long. My guess is the whole stadium had around 32.

F&B was worst I've seen in a proffessional sports stadium.

Inbound tourists are driving the good hockey vibes at the game and in the City.

Better off having it in London where it would be a sellout and an easier trip for tourists.

Shame on you sweden

Absolutely dumb! It's supposed to be "special" but the broadcasters treat these games like another game on a Tuesday night in the middle of January. What gives?

 

[NyQuil]

Nice anthems!

 

[JoVel]

I thought some American country band flew all the way to Sweden just to sing two songs and then go home. But turns out Tennessee Tears is a Swedish band.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Nice anthems!

Agreed and thats rare for me to say!

Can you imagine if they “blacked out” games in the NFL?


Maybe try selling the sport NHL as a whole.

They are too good looking to be from the South.

Great job NHL. Way to put this unique game on NHL Network, where I can’t watch it with a normal TV subscription or even a subscription to ESPN+.

 

[rynryn]

why are they doing the USA and CAN anthems? i find it mildly annoying at the best of times but doing this in a foreign country seems weird.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I still don't understand why ESPN (Or even ESPN+) or TNT aren't televising these games. Aren't they the partners of the NHL? Again, the NHL will never grow the game until they solve the NHL Network Problem, and they won't even admit they have one. It's ridiculous how the NHL makes it so hard to watch thier product, especially for today's landscape where people are cord cutting.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Will Gord mention Stockholm not having a team in the SHL for the third straight day?

 

[JoVel]

Fair enough, but bringing American singers to Sweden would've been top tier comedy. Although singing the anthems there in the first place feels a little odd.

They did well though so I'm not complaining for once.

In Canada, they have these games blacked out if you're not in the region for said team.

If you're not in the Ottawa region, you can't watch this game. Unless of course you use an illegal stream, or VPN.

NHL is just super f***ing dumb.

Yet they treat this as a special event. If it's a special event, HAVE YOUR TV PARTNERS BROADCAST IT NATIONALLY.

It's not hard yet the NHL are full of idiots.

 

[rynryn]

wild d giving up gorgeous scoring chances in the first minute. it's just like playing at home!

 

[Chainshot]

There is an interesting cross-section of folk sounding bands that I first thought were more Appalachian and turned out they were Swedish.

Not even Londoners manage to fill an arena when tickets costs 200+ dollars.

That’s ok, my band only plays Swedish music.

 

[NyQuil]

Think that was a bit of a brutal non-call there at the end of the PP.

The clear as day trip? You are ruling yourself out as a possible NHL official.

Isn't MacEwen supposed to be "good" at fighting?
