GDT: Around The League 24/25. Parity, blessed parity.

[Tobias Kahun]

I have to stop calling Debrusk Debust lol. 11th goal tonight. He is on a streak. 2 goals on 14 shots. The PDO is back

Oh great.

I cant wait to hear about it from Louie during the game tonight.

 

[TheNumber4]

McD will get held 10 times like that tonight and not get the call Kadri just got.

 

[Oilhawks]

Sabres are a shit show.

They may never make the playoffs again

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

That Avs game is why I don't count chickens.

 

[McShogun99]

The Sabres are what we would have been if we didn’t win the Mcdavid lottery.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

McD will get held 10 times like that tonight and not get the call Kadri just got.

McDavid is ranked 132nd in the entire NHL in drawn calls with 6 lol

Top 10? Guys we all pay to watch.

Garland
Tye Kartye
Tom Wilson
Konecky
Josh Norris
Hathaway

These are the guys we pay to watch.

F*** protecting your big stars. I widh I could just bitch slap everybody involved in how the game is called

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Minny ties the game up at 2 and VAN instantly on their 3rd PP

A charmed life. But they're actually reel gud™

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Looks like WPG is going to get shutout by the Blues....

 

[94 Oil Drops]

5-4 COL now lol

Buff blows the lead

That's brutal even by Sabers standards. What a train wreck that club has been for a decade and a half. Feels like nothing is ever going to turn around for them.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Cucks going to yet another OT game

 

[Oilhawks]

Cucks going to yet another OT game

Circus time for a circus team

On pace to be loser point merchants like Calgary that one year that some posters here embarrassingly praised them for

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Blues staring to look good under Montgomery..2 more points for Holloway

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Columbus with 9 entire shots through 2 periods

 

[Oilhawks]

Blues staring to look good under Montgomery..2 more points for Holloway

Plum minutes and PP time is probably pretty helpful. The Blues still suck. Monty is a good coach but I doubt it’s enough

You know the NFL way better than I do...are they the NY Jets or Cleveland Browns of hockey?

Tyler Seguin is out 4-6 months with hip surgery. That means that the Stars will have an almost infinite amount to spend at the TDL. My guess is that they really load up and go for it.

Plus Seguin will be playing Game 1 of the playoffs is my guess.

Oh well, I picked Dallas vs the Devils as my cup final at the beginning of the year with Dallas winning….

 

[bellagiobob]

Either of those would be a good choice, but based on weird finishes this year, they would be the Bears. Both finding once in a lifetime ways to lose games.

I say the Jets. Everything looks good on paper but they continue to suck.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Arvidsson and Ekholm get on team Sweden, good for them.

Nope.

4 non-game events between Columbus and Nashville.

9 games at Lenovo Center (used to be PNC Arena), including 4 Oilers games (1-3-0 ).

1 game each at Honda Center in Anaheim (Ducks vs. Caps) and Capital One Arena in DC (Caps vs. Devils).

*Drivesaitl ramble mode engaged*

Bridgestone Arena is in Rogers Place territory; nice, but generic airport vibe.

Honda Center has a dated interior, but it's been my favorite American game experience thus far. Second best goal horn in the league (behind EDM obviously); it shakes the floor and is way more impressive in person than on TV. The interior is a little dated, but sightlines are incredible. The fans are nice too.

Lenovo Center also has a 1990's feel to it. Not bad, and not good. Just meh. The fans are absolutely insufferable though; think the entitledment of Leafs fans with the obnoxious redneck factor of Riders fans.

Capital One Arena has classy fans, but easily one of the least enjoyable venues. It's a dated shoebox arena with the seating bowl pushed nearly all the way to the outside. As a result, the concourses are all very skinny and cramped. They also haven't been touched since the arena opened.

When I first went to Nashville's arena, my first thought was big Rodeo barn. But they have great atmosphere there when they give their fans something to cheer about.

Detroit’s is also filled with lots of heritage displays (museum like presentation) from the various eras throughout. There are videos on YouTube that show some of what it’s like.

And lots of concourse bars and restaurants. It why in the early years of the new Little Caesars arena that it often looked empty even though it was sold out. People we’re exploring the arena and all there is to do ha watching the games (and may be because Steve hasn’t given them much to watch so far).

We got there early for the game, tried to go to Eminen's pizza restaurant, buts its only a walk up/take out place so went to arena. Lots of great displays with a few statues (I think there was Howe, Lindsay and Sawchuk??). They had a band playing before the game and during the intermissions, they were Motown mostly but played some 80s rock too. I suggested this on my Oilers survey but haven't seen them move forward.

Also at Detroit, they have the best room with its digital light show.

Nice tribute to Johnny Gaudreau at the Flames Columbus game tonight

It was great, he was pretty tough for his size, see where he gets it from.
