Goosebumps.
I sure wish the Oilers had a museum section that was accessible to ticketed fans like what the Bruins apparently have. (I know they've got that HHOF display case on the lower floor, but I don't believe it was publicly accessible when I left Edmonton back in 2019.)

Their atrium section is actually really nice. If I had one criticism of Rogers Place... too much empty dry wall.

Edmonton Ex-Pat who still loves his hometown team.
That was absolutely amazing So well done. Would kill for something similar done with our team history.

I flew out of Van this morning. A SHOCKING amount of rather overweight men holding replica WWE championship belts as their carry-on.

It's just such a bland, generic building. They could do so much more with the space.
Agreed.
As cramped and outdated as the Coliseum was, it really had that old-school grit and industrial character that made you feel like you were walking in to a hockey pantheon.
Rogers feels more like a corporate airport where CEOs go to talk market strategy while occasionally glancing up from their smartphone to check out the game.

Demko is beyond fragile. One wrong lateral movement and he'll be on the IR again.

I have been dismissing the Canucks because of their almost softest schedule in the league thus far. What is Demko going to do that Lanenen hasn't? Be better than 10-0 on the road? He is a fragile bandaid.
Their goalie is the only reason they have the record that they have

It's amazing how Nuck idiots cling to Demko as the reason they lost last year and aren't amazing this year.
Like you said, there are only so many more pucks you can possibly save. It's a ridiculous narrative.

Unfortunately you're not wrong. Katz ended up cheaping out on the finishing touches for the aesthetics. And I haven't even checked out the upper level.
I think one of my favorite modern arena interiors is Nationwide in Columbus. The arena district there is made up of revitalized and gentrified industrial facilities, and the arena itself was built to reflect its community (lot of brick and steel). Went there for a work conference last summer where I took this pic; it's definitely my favorite of the 5 US arenas I've been to. Haven't seen a game there yet.

Have you been to Detroits, similar looking to Columubus by the looks of your picture. But Detroits has lots of bricks and nice on both sides of the concourse.

I like how the flames made their fans think they were going to be good… again.
It’s classic.

I think the Flames will try to move the Kadri contract as a step towards a rebuild. It won't be easy but if you retain 50% then somebody might bite on it. He's 34 already so obviously he won't be part of a rebuild. 3 years left on his deal after this season.
Hubs contract is all but untradeable and (I believe) is buyout proof.
