Series Talk: Stanley Cup Final VGK (West) vs Capitals (East)

[LadyStanley]

Jesus Lopez, VGK Spanish PXP radio guy, on NHL Now today, said that they got calls after game 1 that a number of folks called in saying they turned off the Mexican National Team to watch a hockey game.

If that's not grass roots support, what is?

 

[LadyStanley]

Not throwing away my shot!!

 

[Bart9349]

Like the headdresses

Yea. It was the headdresses that got my attention, too.

 

[Bart9349]

Turk doesn’t change lines after wins. I don’t imagine we’ll see anything different.

We regards to the ice: Game 1 was the first crappy ice game we’ve had this season. I’d imagine it’s more about leaving doors open or having people in the arena for longer than it is needing new machinery. Find out the difference between game 1 and the fifty plus other games this season and address that, I don’t think it was just the weather.

I heard a new theory on NHLNetwork that explained the poor ice conditions in Game 1: The Stanley Cup logo on the ice didn't set correctly. Didn't know about that one.

Kurt Busch, NASCAR driver, says he will put VGK logo on his helmet.

Great with today's battle towels.

Isn't that Steve Wynn behind him? Reason for the funny mug?

That's the reason.

John Taffer is right next to him. This is like Where's Waldo of celebs

Are teams limited to sanctioning one official watch party per game?

Would be pretty cool if they would let UNLV host one at the Thomas and Mack and charge a small admission fee to go to the Rebel Athletic Fund. Would be a neat community partnership.

I think they got rid of that regulation.

When they had an issue with Tampa, they were essentially doing what the Knights have done outside T-MA for every game so far.

Hmmm

 

[LadyStanley]

Looking for something to fill the time until tomorrow's puck drop?

What's also funny is that there is no way Wynn can see what is happening- he's legally blind. It appears Taffer is describing what's happening. I've always admired that Wynn would pay for premium seats to basically listen to a game.

Not supposed to charge, even for charity. Could have a "suggested" donation and have a box out in front. Arenas will sell plenty of concessions to pay for hosting the event, MGM should be hosting these in their other arenas during the games instead of causing a massive crowd problem out front. And has there ever been a watch party inside TMA? What are they waiting for, game 6?

 

[LadyStanley]

Cover up that panic button

Legally blind and totally blind are two different things.

He has retinitis pigmentosa, a disorder that causes the gradual detachment of the retina (gradual can mean decades to total blindness). Typical affect of the disease before total blindness is loss of peripheral vision. This, of course, makes his claim that he couldn't leer at a showgirl because he is legally blind about as comical as "the glove doesn't fit" while wearing the glove. He can see, but his range of vision is very narrow.

Around the corner from Capital One arena

Sting performing prior to game three and Fall Out Boy before game four.

Then this...



Can't help but chuckle, although I do get the connection as a season ticket holder (what?!?) and the whole capital letter thing. Guess it's kinda clever.

Okay, I have researched and see Pat splits time between living in LA and a Maryland suburb not that far from DC.
