They learned nothing from the fact the most viewed NHL regular season game was the Rags vs. Crapitals slugfest back in 2021.
This tweet makes my skin crawl. It’s almost like he’s celebrating Stone getting hurt

Reporter not to blame - Vegas is once again in danger of missing playoffs and they will move heaven and earth to prevent that
Reverse hits are incredible dangerous at full speed
its impossible to find and watch games on ESPN Plus or Hulu for alot of people, add in region blackouts for streaming services.
I'm sure there will be NO Controversy or conspiracy theories when the head of the BoG and NHLPA are both Boston affiliated

I've heard people say he asked to be traded, but he doesn't say that in this interview..

Yikes. This is bad.
I actually love the product on ice nowadays, even if I have my gripes and things I miss. Game has never been faster and never had this much skill. Scoring is up too.
This trend in viewership sucks.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Excellent interview with Looch.
Loved that (when asked who his favorite line he played with of all time) he said DK and Horton. He clearly has lots of love for Boston and the Bs
Years ago, I heard that Looch wanted to stay in Boston but knew he might be moved so went to LA. He had just had his second child and he lost his Dad.

There's a whole lot less passion on the ice - not surprised to see less from viewers too.
Bring back the rivalries and the drama. Fires need fuel
People think marchys interview before toronto game was sarcastic (saying Marner is out there talking to opponents about video games) and my guess is he was deadly serious
I hate this.
I hate this because I think he needed more as the Secretary of Labor. In the grand scheme of things, Secretary of Labor is a far more important position than the NHL Players Association.
Yes, Marty Walsh has his shortcomings, but he is a staunch supporter of Labor, and that is a cause near and dear to me. In addition to being a third-generation Bruins fan, I'm also a third generation union member in the building trades, and having an ally like Walsh in his position has been huge for working people everywhere.
Is he qualified? Absolutely.
But I hope he does NOT get/take this job.
I think he's too important where he is.

The bolded text is the majority opinion in the responses on Twitter. I understand the financial rationale for the multiple streaming platforms, TV, etc.; however, they make it difficult to find/watch a game. The consumer pays a significant amount of money to watch streaming games, but they are blacked out when televised on NHL Network or ESPN, not to mention the regional blackouts. I understand they want protection, but the numbers are telling a different story.

Colorado and Detroit in the 90s was pretty intense, which made them must-see games and I didn't even like either team lol
There are some really ignorant posts on the main board. Clearly, they know nothing about Marty Walsh. Some idiots are using the thread to bash the city and people of Boston. I am pretty sure this is not allowed.

I am a conservative, but he is more important as Secretary of Labor.
You knew this was coming. There are still people out there who GENUINELY believe we were handed the cup because Greg Campbell's Dad.
You can't reason with folks like that. They live in their own world.

Heartbreaking.

Now we will sell your car and say goodbye to a future where two parents shuttle their kids around, where life is beautifully, blissfully busy, where we kiss each other goodbye at the door and go in different directions in order to get it all done.
Now, everything that makes our family go runs in one direction — through me.
In a span of three months this disease we had outrun for three years caught up with us.

Last week you sat at the table with tears in your eyes. You looked at the kids sitting at the island and said, your voice trembling with sadness, “I’m sorry guys. A dad is supposed to be big and st…

I have three people in my extended family that passed from it, and that’s a big part of why I’ve been so terrified of it most my life

My youngest son graduates in May with his pharmacist PHD. He has accepted a fellowship with a Cambridge biotech specifically to do ALS research.
