Around the NHL: HOCKEY’S BACK BABY

I have no love for AM but he is a star and a box office draw. This league won’t even protect the geese that lay their golden eggs. #garageleague

Thats an insult to the amount of support that WWE gets which is massive and probably top 2 in the world of “entertainment“

He's talking about the Women's Wrestling Entertainment

It's close for me, Matthews turns his back and as he brings his leg up he sorta falls into a brutal cross-check to his ribs and then falls down, if that guy doesn't murder his kidneys, he still probably falls on his own

Eichel to IR.

What happened to the golden boy?

What happened to the golden boy?

Got checked in the hip the other night and it looked at first like it was just his skate blade getting knocked out. But he went to the bench with help (got pushed), left for some time and then returned. He didn't play the next game and went on IR.

Edit - a shot of them pushing him toward the bench in this fhoto:



In other news, PKane got hit and then fell on the bum hip tonight and has not returned for Detroit. Seems to be going around.

That first hit looks worse than the second. And even then it was a regular play.

There are some really funny bits in that but my favorite is #44's "I'm out" hand gesture as his teammate starts fighting with Ryan after the big hit. I didn't know they had an interchange in the penalty boxes after either.

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

So cool. Glad to see "Ted Hitchcock" get to play again after a twenty year break.

Eichel undergoes lower-body surgery, out week-to-week

I'm glad......for his long-term health......that it had nothing to do with his neck.

Missed this the other night, but couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. Bastian blows up Ciernak -

DIAMOND SPORTS AGREES TO DEAL WITH AMAZON

Amazon will make a minority investment in the company as part of the proposal. It will use its Prime Video platform to offer direct-to-consumer access to MLB, NBA and NHL games, including pregame and postgame content of its various RSNs on a local basis.

Interesting. I wonder how much it will cost for me to be able to stream Dallas Stars games on Prime?

Will be helpful for those Sabres games that are locally blacked out because even 3.5 hours away I'm in the Dallas market.

I would assume the blackout stuff is going to remain since the broadcast regions are dictated by the league, not the broadcasters.

 

[Chainshot]

This is such a weird league.

 

[Ace]

Repercussions for a failure to meet standards?

Is this allowed?

 

[Dingo44]

This is crazy

 

[Steddy33]

All the credit in the world to Lou for setting the bar and keeping a standard. I don't like Lou at all but it's way better than this organization

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

I hope nobody's feelings got hurt.
