Draisaitl got a new landscaper

Landscaper, or manscaper?

 

[Sol]

I have a whole new level of respect for McDavid with the way we shat on the entire team during the playoffs uncontested

 

[KingsFan7824]

If Minnesota does anything with $13m in dead cap, besides own the Kings, they will have made a mockery of the sport.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Guess Pacioretty should have been more accountable to his training.

And that's why Carolina got him for only future considerations. In the last year of a deal, was obviously never going to play most of the season, and who knows what an old guy has left after thar kind of surgery.

Hey, let's not imply women's soccer is boring because of the women. Even women can't make soccer interesting!

Go to a PL game live. The atmosphere is incredible, it changes the perspective of the game… Hockey can only dream of it. Hockey rinks are closer to a library in atmosphere. Don’t get me wrong hockey as a sport is #1 for me but the crowds suck.

We may root but for different teams but a loss in our hockey community is felt by all.

Sad loss. Hopefully he enjoyed the memories the Oilers gave him in his shortened life.

 

[Schrute farms]

Bummer -- good thing he got to be involved personally with the team this past year.
BTW, cool thing about that twitter pic is the Kings fan in the background with the Brown jersey.

Best league of any sport in the world in my opinion.

Who do you support, if you don't mind me asking?

The only acceptable answer is Tottenham.

 

[KINGS17]

Man, that's a tough one. I am sure none of us can imagine losing a child.

Even an LA Galaxy game has a better atmosphere than Staples on any given night, despite the inferior soccer product. EPL is numerous levels above that. I’ve seen Liverpool v Tottenham at Anfield, just insane.

maybe i'm the weird one for enjoying the relative quiet and attentive applause for PK clears and stuff

noise for the sake of noise isn't really my bag

Liverpool. I love Anfield like no other place on Earth, it’s weirdly almost spiritual. Hard to explain.

I was on the Kop when we got a last minute winner against Arsenal. When we finished celebrating I was about 5 rows and 20 seats away from where I started. Beautifully crazy place!

Weirdly I don’t mind quiet for hockey, mainly because I would normally be recording advanced stats. I have to concentrate

Very cool, Liverpool is my team as well.

Its been a very interesting contrast as a fan to have the Kings and the Reds at opposite ends of the spectrum, enjoying the rebuild process AND domination simultaneously.

You mean you don’t love the annoying “everybody clap clap clap your hands”

They ain’t no Bayern. Pretty hard to see what happens to them now that Lewandowski left.

The MLS has noise for the sake of noise, but the PL has relatively loud and attentive applause for clears and stuff.

And as Sol pointed out, you get 45 minute stretches without music and other gimmicks blaring through the PA system.

 

[BringTheReign]

What goalies are even available at this point for Vegas? I guess there will always be cap-strapped teams...

 

[johnjm22]

That's a huge loss for Vegas.

From what I can tell, they have nothing as far as goalies go in the organization.

and as the shot above shows....a declining defense.

I f***ing hate going to staples and hearing nonstop through the PA to cheer. It’s so cringe worthy that they do it as much as they do
