yea. Third time
Quote from: viper37 on May 16, 2025, 03:10:02 PMThe NHL is considering another expansion in Atlanta.

Third time lucky I guess. If you got a billionaire owner and a shiny new rink, anything is possible. See Vegas, see Utah.

(Winnipeg)

Quebec has the rink but the purchase price is way way out of reach. So it appears.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Yeah, it's close to a billion$ now.  Quebecor can't afford that alone.

Parade back on Josephus.

NHL is more unpredictable than ever these days.  A lot of parity and you just never know for sure who'll be firing on any given night.

Oilers look better than last year so far.  I don't think their overall team is so great but when you have two superstars who work so hard it forces everyone else to do the same.  Their breakouts are incredible.

Kane coming back to the roster seems to have a big effect with Edmonton's competitiveness. I don't like the guy, but he's a great Oiler.

Toronto has another chance. Good series. Anyway, Canada needs a Cup, especially since Rogers doubled down. Gary, since you are going to retire, you don't have to play the villain in every movie.

Wouldn't be surprised if he had some 51st state jerseys already in his closet.


And welcome back :cheers:

I got nothing man.  I haven't been present, I don't feel qualified based on news reports (in particular with publication bans in place).
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Canucks promoted Foote to head coach and was asked by the press about the trial - his son is one of the accused.  Didn't say much predictably.  Hockey is a small world, so many father son and brother relationships.

Ottawa made it to the Walter Cup finals!  :showoff:
