Around the NHL: Part XXXIV

[NYR Viper]

man, Jumbo signing in FLA makes me want to root for them as my 2nd eastern conference team this year. If Spencer Knight (and possibly Lundell) emerge this year, they can go deep.
Thornton lifting the cup would give me Ray Bourque feels.

What would fans do when the back-to-back-to-back Stanley Cup Champs are all from Florida though?

the same thing they do when the Avalanche win the cup in their first year? If you have a problem with it...
Aside from the annoying rats, the Panthers had a fun cup run with largely their expansion roster in 96 (same finals)
people cheered for Vegas when they went to the finals in their first year.
I think "the fans" would be more pissed off if dumpster fire organizations like Buffalo or Arizona won the cup
I think "the fans" would be more pissed seeing Edmonton win because of their 10 years of tanking.
I think more fans would be pissed if we won the cup simply because "we got lucky" winning two draft lottos more than if Florida won.

it really has the Ray Bourque Stanley cup vibe! He had an epic beard that year too.

Nah. Jumbo can eat a dick.

 

[Machinehead]

He looks like a hospitalized covid patient telling Channel 6 Local News that he still wouldn't get vaccinated

because he called our team soft once? grow up. "softest team on the road trip" is also a far cry from "softest team in the league" but sure, he should have not said that after losing. Sore loser, sore winner. Either is not a good look. Pros are competitive and they want to win and he was annoyed that he had to talk to Stan Fischler after a loss. I think anyone would be.

Who the f*** cares about what Pionk and the Jets are doing? I can tell ya right now, it ain’t much.

They are bringing joy and hope to south eastern Manitoba. Show some respect!

That’s a tall order even for Jesus.

So the league has approved ads on jerseys beginning in 22-23. So disappointing but not unexpected.

Gotta make money somewhere. Nobody is buying $12 beers anymore lol


NFL won’t be far behind.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here they are the Mon...ti...fiore...New...York...Rangersssss

Imagine if they just sold the beers for $6-8. Sales would triple. At $12 a beer I’m not even buying one. No point. Can’t afford enough to even get a buzz. At $6 I might buy 4-5. By the time I’m done with #4 my inhibitions about spending are lower and I’m just having a good time. Shit, I might even buy a jersey after #5. If I can get a buzz at a game for $24, I will. If I can't get a buzz without spending $48, I won't.

So you can make $0 off me at $12 per, or $24+ off me at $6 per. One thing I’ve never really understood about modern business models. Isn’t there a sweet spot at which sales are high enough due to lower prices to negate/surpass the profit of the higher price? It just doesn’t feel like it’s possible that they make more selling $12 beers than they would selling $8.

I hope nobody ever buys a jersey again.

I hope nobody ever buys a jersey again.

I'm not sure if I will be. But I'm sure they have already taken that into consideration.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Jersey ads are a necessary evil. The patch will look awful on a Rangers sweater and I certainly will never, ever purchase another NHL jersey in my life, but I understand why they are here. If it helps the cap move up faster then fine.
