Around the NHL 2024/25

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

I just imagine the chant - Go Hockey Club Go - or maybe just Go Hockey Go for short. About as good as Go My Guys Go.

Every cities basic chant always revolves around the syllables in either the name of the city or it's nickname. For instance the "Go Jets Go" chant is entirely based on the Jets being a one syllable name & other one syllable teams use the same chant.

The Oilers on the other hand are "Let's Go Oilers" (followed a 1/4-1/4-1/8-1/8-1/8-1/8 clapping pattern)"



You'd never hear the Jets fans doing this as the rhythm and lyrics don't jive.

Utah could easily follow a 4/4 time signature saying "Utah" (as the first 2 quarter notes) & then clapping on the back 2 quarter notes or simply falling into the same chant pattern as the Oilers, substituting "Oilers" for "Utah"...ex) "Let's Go Utah"

There's a few dozen simple cheers that Winnipeg could be doing rather than the totally overdone "Go Jets Go", in fact in the 1.0 days there was always some variety based off the organ player, or canned organ player. 2.0 has never gotten on board any other chant.

It was still better than in previous years.

[Bender Duster]

Wow. The intermission panel on the Prime feed tonight is…something.

Best news I've seen all day (besides the tariff delay) because i haven't had a very good one.

 

[RabidOne]

Russo apoplectic?

 

[bustamente]

Hartman has been suspended 4 times in his career, I think the league has to think long and hard this time. 10 games

 

[ps241]

Hartman is now on the Wilson/Torres path. If he doesn’t get his shit together I can see him getting 20 on his next ugly play.

Hes gotten away with so much already... should have been at the 20 game point this time

 

[raideralex99]

Holy smokes ... Ottawa only 2 points back of the Leafs.

 

[blues10]

Hartman also loses a big chunk of salary. Hopefully he changes his ways but seems like he is lacking something between the ears to get to this point.

He should've got 20 for this one. Deliberate attempt to injure a star via a f***ing DDT for God's sake...

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I remember the complaining - but I think most of it was based on perimeter passing and very little movement

Slow perimeter passing.

Our two PP units have COMPLETELY different styles. I credit that to the coach but if you think the Perfetti unit is running the movement and 'two bumper' system of the PP1.. then we are watching different games.

PP2 is a lot more static and a lot more based on crashing the net and getting shots/deflections. PP1 is about revolving roles so the PK cant decide who's bumper, etc... maybe someone can argue that its not solely because of Ehlers - but his system doesn't work without a player like Ehlers.

He has designed the 2 PP units to suit the players.

My eyes.

Is there an echo in here?

Also you are right about PP2 - Pionk has massively improved his scoring with both Perfetti and Iafallo... enough to say its not just a blip - I will concede that

 

[Hobble]

What was truly surprising is that Hamonic got fined $5,000 for “refusing to justify Hartman’s contract” after Bieksa called up Player Safety.

Ottawa is on a heater. Good stuff for Sens fans

 

[roccerfeller]

These are so….bush league

I still don't get how you can't use the name Yeti because of TM, but you can somehow take everything from the Winnipeg Ice, from jersey colours to emblem.

Honouring Jets 1.0 by honouring Jets 2.0 lol

I would have been comfortable with 20.

Of course they have different styles. That is good coaching. You design systems that play to the players strengths and then get them to buy in and perfect.

 

[surixon]

Or they just finally added Ehlers. Could be that.

They had Ehlers on the first pp unit for the first quarter of last year and he didn't fit all that well.

It's not just that he's there but that they tailored a role specifically for him which has allowed him to excel.

Of course they have different styles. That is good coaching. You design systems that play to the players strengths and then get them to buy in and perfect.

Yup, Pp 2 doesn't have near the skill level of pp 1 so it would make little sense to have it play similarly. They don't have the talent to pull off what pp1 does. But they do have a big point shot and two good net front pieces. They also have a quality pp hb qb that can open that lane up.

I would have come down with the hammer for that one. 15 to 20 games.

I would like to see them get in. The more Canadian teams in the better.
