Around the NHL: Part XIII – Lamie Benn Edition

[Fugazy]

If there is a San Jose and Boston SCF, I may need to flee to another country that does not broadcast Hockey, lol.

San Jose would be the easy choice for me.

Yeah but my second team is Anaheim. So it’s a little more complicated for me. Lol. I even got to experience a San Jose and Anaheim game out there, and it felt like a Rangers vs Islanders/Devils game. Fans chirping, players being chippy, arena was loud, and was awesome. Ducks won it in OT.

That’s totally understandable

 

[East Coast Bias]

they key to keeping the interest high is having some bets from October still alive. San Jose to win the cup +1200 ain't looking so bad now.

It's funny how we tend to fall into the traps of just all disliking the same teams.

In reality, if you asked me at the beginning of the year who I don't want to win the cup, it would basically be:

Islanders
Devils
Pitt
Flyers
Toronto
LA

After that, I couldn't really care less which team comes out on top. But as the year goes on and we watch more games come playoff time, we begin favoring some teams and loathing others.

Not to mention certain players.

I attended a Ducks-Kings game at Staples in the early 2000s. I was impressed with the rivalry.

I went to a few games at the Shark Tank back in the 90s. Back then, it was one of the newer arenas. The place felt so different from the cramped quarters of MSG.

Yeah when the schedule comes out, want to try and get out to Anaheim when they play San Jose or the Kings. The arena is very nice out in Anaheim. Marble floors, very new clean look to it, very fan friendly, the entrance is also nice, has a giant open area when you first walk in, with a bar right in the middle, for fans to hang out, and cool vendors like California Pizza kitchen.. I like Pizza.

It's nice to experience hockey outside of the Rangers and MSG, and the East coast for that matter. Kinda gives you more perspective between the East and West teams and their fan bases.

It's so easy to hate the Kings.

And tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of this:

Was that the game Don Cherry bowed to the Montreal crowd to "thank" them for that call?

This isn't meant to be a dig against Columbus, but I honestly find it surprising that there are three million dollar condos there.

Can’t imagine the square footage on that price tag.

All I know is 3 million dollars can get you a heck lot more in Florida than NY.

You know, I think it's okay to tag digs at Columbus and Ohio in general.

It's a...different kind of place.

 

[FJB]

I always liked SJ. It would be nice to see them win it all, but they always choke.

The areas I’m familiar with besides southern NY and NYC are , Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Venice Florida and Orange County CA.

I never been to Columbus so will just take your word for it.

Sarasota/Venice FL and Orange County CA are very nice. Especially by the water.

My house in Florida is about 30 mins south of Siesta Key. So nice there. I also love Armand’s Circle.

Florida is the next stop for the Edge family. Just a matter of wrapping some stuff up first.

The Picadillo is killer. Great restaurant.

It’s nice being down there just can’t be down there all year long with my business. So it’s more of a vacation home for us.
