Around the League - 2024-2025

New franchise and not a traditional hockey market. But I’d also say the lack of posts here reflect the changed internet landscape. HF is an old school Forum at this point and most of those have gone out of style in favour of social media. Maybe there’s more chatter amongst themselves on Twitter.

Do they actually have fans? Most of the people who attended the games there are probably snowbirds and travellers anyway.

Preds will be making a coaching change soon. Would love them to try coach Q, but with the rebuild coming he may not want to take the job.

Yes. They sell a lot of corp seats but it’s amazing how many people are wearing LVGK gear out west. TV and streaming rates are pretty good.

It's true. Forums in general just aren't active like they used to be (Reddit has also impacted that significantly), and you'd be really hard pressed to find Gen Z members here. I'm sure there's some but they're likely far and few in between.

Vegas won the Cup 2 years ago. Their GDT had 7 posts in it tonight. 70% by the same guy. Hangman005 doing Yeoman's work.

On that note: Does anyone remember the infamous one-man GDT on the Wild board?

I actually noticed recently that some of our recent GDTs are only about 30 pages long. Pretty sure we were getting more than that even during the Horachek era.

A lot of the familiar faces are no longer here.

I wish a lot of familiar faces were no longer on the main board too.

A picture of Jonathan Toews in traditional Indian gear was not on my bingo card, but good for him! There's lots of great knowledge to be gained from around the world.

How original for McDavid to have his own belt after every game.

Really instilling that successful Leaf culture in their lockerroom

Love the Houston Oilers logo.

Fun fact: all of the 2023 coach of the year finalists have been fired

His strength is speed, and seemed to be a north-south type of player.

Good size.

Probably more a Berube than Keefe player.

Wonder if he'll see any time with McDavid, not saying he's a 1st. liner, but not every player on the 1st. line has to be a 1st. liner.

Anyday now, someone will point out Toews is disrespecting the culture for wearing the attire, lol.

Really glad Capt Clutch is doing better. Really hope he recovers and have a good life.

The Leafs took it from the Blackhawks. Teams have been giving out belts for years. It's not a Leafs thing

Yeah sadly. I joined a dynasty league that started on this board just over a decade ago. Was all started with people that posted on this board. Think I'm the only active poster still from that group lol. A lot of the original people are still in the league, they just dont really post/visit HF anymore.

I think quite a few used to eat Cornflakes.

At what point will people realize that suspending a guy for 5 games is completely irrelevant? It's like calling the death penalty a deterrent. If the league, or the NHLPA, really wanted to deter head shots, we would see 40 or 50 game suspensions. There is a reason why we don't.

The Atlantic division is really putting on a show tonight.

Wow was checking out of town scores about 1/2 hr ago and tampa was winning 3-1 over columbus after 1. Thought it was probably over. Now it's 5-5 midway through the 2nd... 6 goals in under 6 minutes to start the 2nd lol.
