Why .930? He was .946 & .944 of the two games.
I couldn't remember the exact save percentage of his 1st game, and was too lazy to check. I just knew it was good & above .930 that's why.

We usually go to one oil king game a year. I don't even complain about the price of food I just think its funny. 2 nachos 2 pops 2 beers 95bucks and the kids didn't even eat all of the nachos.
I'm pretty sure they keep the same price from the oilers games.I figured they'd reduce prices at Junior games. They're usually not that costly. It's more affordable for families. That's crazy.
Always eat before the game.
I'm not personally affected by this because I never buy food at the arena, but I totally support calling out the awful product and the price gouging. The decision-makers have made a very conscious choice to rip off their customers. F*** them. For families with hungry kids, for some schmuck trying to impress a date, it's not that easy to duck away from the pressure of buying arena food. You've already paid top dollar for your seat, then as a thank-you the team mugs you at the concession stand. Disgusting. I understand normal profit margins, but there's no excuse for such blatant greed.It's like complaining about the cost of popcorn at a movie theatre... The insane markups are well known. If people didn't keep going, they wouldn't get away with it.
Just don't buy the fries if you don't want to be ripped off... Such an odd thing to complain about imo
Not really a surprise - Analytics clearly showed Allen in front of a team that was better at limiting Dzone entries particularly back checking forwards and limiting odd man rushes would have significantly improved statsNJD lost, but Allen had a .944 save percentage. The second consecutive game he had .930 or higher. He won one & lost one.
Normand Flynn is PISSED right now, he’s stuck with Suzuki.
THATS $3 PER CHIP YOU EAT THEM ALL GODDAMMIT!We usually go to one oil king game a year. I don't even complain about the price of food I just think it’s funny. 2 nachos 2 pops 2 beers 95bucks and the kids didn't even eat all of the nachos.
Simmonds was an honest player who had a solid career. Best of luck to him.
That is a fact! Adding Guentzel and Kuznetsov is a major coupIf Kuznetsov solved his out of ice problems Carolina will be very hard to beat.
They also did that while retaining most of their picks. They still have their first and 2nd round picks for the next 3 years (unless they reach the scf where the 2nd round pick PHI they gave for Guentzle upgrade to a 1st round pick).Simmonds was an honest player who had a solid career.

A lot of folks don't like that team but one thing is for sure...they run a competent organizationThey also did that while retaining most of their picks.

Yes, there are ways to avoid being screwed, but at the same time the people doing the screwing deserve to be shamed.
I don't think either hand-wringing or passive acceptance is particularly healthy. I don't spend my days complaining about Montreal's poor economy, its mismanaged roads, and its money-grasping NHL team. On the other hand, I will call out greed and incompetence when the subject comes up. It deserves a little more than, "If you don't like it, don't live here/drive your car/go to games."Greed is the operating model, no sense hand wringing about it.
Pay up or don't go. Money talks, the rest is largely screaming into the void while they hoard their profits.

Less difference than you'd think... but another discussion for another time and place...I think there's a pretty massive difference between democratic institutions and for profit private corporations... But to each their own
It's not about the nature of wealth – we all know sports owners are greedy. It's about advising people on the sneakier greed they may not see coming. Sure, we know arena food is expensive, but the Tweet with the fries shows just how grossly overboard it's gone. Some people will rethink eating at the game thanks to that Tweet and our discussion. The more info we share, the better armed we are as consumers to avoid being ripped off. I'll bet you didn't realize you were part of a public service announcement.Find me a pro sport team not motivated by greed and I'll find you a unicorn
Its a long shot but if Buffalo finds a way to make the playoff, they're a wagon! Such a fun team to watch, things are clicking since the Byram's trade and UPL hot streak
