Around the NHL (Part XIII): RIP Bob Suter

[pvr]

Not threadworthy, but Patty's done a video for Gatorade. Lol, interestingly the video was put up as 'unlisted'

Amazing that he gets paid for that crap.

 

[ChiGuySez]

I dont have a problem with hockey players making endorsement money no matter how goofy the video is considering how much money other athletes in other sports make money off endorsements. Tiger, Jordan, star Soccer players. The amount can be staggering.

What the hell did I just watch?


Wasn't even funny, just stupid and had the production value of something from a HS student doing a group project... Or maybe that's the "joke."

Who knows Ray? This is what our generation and younger think comedy is. In a word, "epic"

 

[Sevanston]

Kane's really been milking that dance for every last drop it's got.

Does anyone know where OHL games are streamed online (if anywhere) other than Fast Hockey?

HockeyStreams.com if you're willing to pay.

 

[Nothingman*]

HockeyStreams.com if you're willing to pay.

Is that what you watch the NHL on Ray?

Thanks. I have access to Fast Hockey but was just wondering if there was anythjng else.

 

[RayP]

Is that what you watch the NHL on Ray?

Yeah, million times better than NHL's GameCenter Live, and I don't have cable anymore so Center Ice isn't an option. I also only have to pay for it the months that the NHL seasons is actually going on during, since I do the month to month plan, so it runs me about $17. On months I know I'll be busy or the Hawks have a ton of games nationally broadcasted, I won't even bother with it. Quality is also better than GCL, too.

 

[Nothingman*]

Ditch they have an app to watch on your phone?

 

[RayP]

Not sure, never tried. I know you can stream it to your TV via an Xbox, Roku, or some other devices. They have a pretty handy checklist of what it can do vs GCL on their website you should check out.

Reading Down Goes Brown's recent post on the teams lining up to land McDavid or Eichel, and I just realized what's actually going to happen.... Sabres finish dead last, Isles "win" the draft lottery, Buffalo then gets both McDavid and Eichel.

Book it.

actually have a funny feeling about Carolina being in there along with Buffalo, if I'm being honest.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Whoa... it finally happened. Wang sold the Islanders.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good for Wang

He saved Isles and for a few years brought back respectability but once his lighthouse project died he just gave up

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

In other Islander related news

Al Arbour is suffering from dementia

[No Fun Shogun]

Sad to hear.

And in Toronto news, Leiweke may be on his way out and the Leafs hired the guy behind ExtraSkater to head up their analytics department.

And McLellan confirms #SJSharks will have no captain or assistants when training camp starts.

David Pollak @PollakOnSharks · 6m
McLellan doesn't call it a "stripping" of the captaincy, says competition will be open and Thornton, like anyone else, a candidate.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Damn...

McLellan says he had talked with Thornton about "clean slate" plan for #SJSharks captaincy; reached Thornton and he says otherwise.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

NHL expanding the draft lottery.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=728795

Tweak next year, and in 2016 the top three picks will be determined by the lottery.

Indifferent towards the change, but if the entire appeal is to supposedly reduce the appeal of tanking, I still think that capping the number of times that a team can pick in a certain range over a period of time would make more sense, be more effectively, and quite frankly be more fair for legitimately bad teams that need a boost in the form of a young gun addition to their roster.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton both have now been stripped of captaincy in SJ in recent years

 

[Bubba88]

Sharks should just Name Pavelski Captain and trade Thornton or Marleau... or both

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Sharks have got to be trying to get Jumbo and Marleau to ask for trades at this point.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

I think that's what they want. But they have NTCs that they both won't agree to waive...so far.
