Yes.
Hockey arenas should be 80% organ music and 20% 140db DJ

I've never heard a hockey arena DJ that deserved more than about 70dB. Most should switch to calling cattle auctions.

Not sure who is complaining or where, but they also have a road trip to Atlanta, Jacksonville and Savannah in late January/early February.

 

[JMCx4]

Not sure who is complaining or where ...

Probably Railers fans who were hoping their team could get a half-dozen more wins over the new franchise in '24-'25 & maybe grab a final playoff spot in the North. What they fail to realize is that Wheeling will be joining them, pushing Worcester even further down the stack.

and what the Railers philosophy is after the Lavallee-Smotherman era which is always a sidebar to any new change/hire

Kansas City & Florida earn overlapping PKs early in the 1st. No goals, but the Blades were called for a double minor just seconds after their first expiration. Oliver Chau gives Florida a 1-0 lead with a shorty.

They stole that from me. Where's my Like?!

End of one period, Florida leads 1-0. Another pair of overlapping penalties were called late in the period, demonstrating the first-time championship series' referees abilities to blow their whistles. And imsgine this: The Boys scrummed after the horn sounded.
