Is there a bigger whiner in all of hockey than Craig Binnington?

 

[PlayMakers]

Ugg

I want to see him fall out of that boat so bad.

Bunting? lol

As an offseason/preseason exhibition it makes sense, but in season it's an overwhelming competitive disadvantage. 14 time zones of jet lag (Boston to Sydney) and ~22 hours of travel time each way is an unfair burden to put on only 2 out of 32 teams in season

Yeah I get that aspect of it. That's why I understand the idea of the games being pre-season. My advice to the league though would be that pre-season is fine, but don't half-ass this. Australians hate nothing more than tokenism or being fobbed off with a lesser product. If we're being told that the 'NHL' is coming to town, then it needs to be the real deal with star players involved. Anything less and they risk the whole thing being a bit of a flop.

wow

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

What's the viewer numbers compared to Football, Basketball, Baseball and Soccer?

Dunno and don't really care

 

[DKH]

wow

What is this ?

Don Johnson meets Green Acres?

Pick one or if A and B you want to miss playoffs not out of fear but dislike

A Florida or Islanders
B Pittsburgh or Washington

 

[Ladyfan]

wow

OK

Got to love this. These two guys are just so cool

I often wonder where clothing like that is found - I mean, is it custom?

Now, the toughest question: how did Pastrnak decide on his suit?

“Wanted something bright since it’s a nice sunny day,” said Pastrnak, who wore a white T-shirt and sneakers. “I like blue. Nice and easy.”

Three related fun facts:

1. Pastrnak has a Czech tailor who does most of his suits.

2. “Krejci” is Czech for “tailor”.

3. David Krejci is not Pastrnak’s Czech tailor.

 

[BlackFrancis]

wow

It's nice seeing David look like he's having fun. And groomed.

Didn't see this posted but looks like we might be going to Australia next season

I think you mixed Jordan Binnington up with Craig Billington unless you did that on purpose.

Bunting might be a bigger whiner but they're both sniveling babies.

Don’t really know where to put it but I’m currently taking in an EIHL game right now between the Cardiff Devils and the Nottingham Panthers. My fiancée is Welsh (Cardiff) and we try to catch hockey whenever we do a trip….. aka: I try to catch hockey Lolol. She’s into it though. Loves the Bruins!

@DominicT may appreciate this but Nottingham has a few former OHLers in David Levin and Michael Caruso.

I saw Levin and immediately said, “David Levin? Sudbury Wolves.” And sure enough haha

Caruso, when I saw it, rang a bell. HockeyDB comes in handy! Played 2 NHL games with the Panthers. He is a former Guelph Storm.

Small world

Will be interesting to see how this contract plays out.

 

[Mione134]

Not bad, imo

It'll be interesting how it all plays out in the end.

 

[Gee Wally]

very interesting. So he gets top money but trades it for zero lockout protection or value of today’s dollar.

I would love to go but unless they start offering a package with a payment plan now I will have to go to Australia another time

I do not think he or his agent did too well with that. I think there is a lockout a comin. It may not be long, but it's a comin. Otoh, he just got a 55 pt center 8.5 million AAV.

I'm already going to NZ for the Women's World Cup in July... Swinging Australia in the fall may be tough.
