I can't vouch for the quality of the group (the name sounds like a bad omen) but f***in lol at this bazillionaire being that sensitive.
Oh, that story is nothing. Google James Dolan facial recognition. What a ridiculous infant. Dolan is lucky Dan Snyder holds the crown as the world's most despicable sports team owner.
 
Also saw it was a sold out game, I've never heard of that for a regular season junior game.
All the recent games in Alberta have been sold out for him. Most only have 5000-7000 seat arenas though. Hitmen dont usually open the upper levels of the Saddledome. Technically they could of opened up level 3 as well and crammed in another 3000ish. That said they sold out all tickets on the bottom 2 levels. Not bad for them and their ticket revenue. I was told prices were between $15-$30 each.

Snyder, Kraft, etc. these blokes are straight up degenerates.

That’s a Coyotes sellout crowd.
 
If Bedard gets picked by the Coyotes, it'll be the first time in history that a player will have less fans come watch him than when he was in junior.

Bedard: "No, seriously. Where's our home arena? Isn't this our practice facility?"
You left out the rest of the story.

Bedard: "No, seriously. Where's our home arena? Isn't this our practice facility?"
'Yotes: "We'll get that sorted out, soon enough... It will be state of the art, no worries. Takes a couple of years. Owner is a bit of a PITA"
Bedard: "Now where are we going?"
'Yotes: "Wanna show you around campus a bit... You know those thousands of Cali ladies who can't get into California state colleges?"
Bedard: "Yeah, so what?"
'Yotes: "Guess what happens to them?
Bedard: "No idea?"
'Yotes: "They become Sun Devils."
Bedard: "Holy Shit!"
'Yotes: "Son, you sure you wouldn't rather be in Columbus, Chicago or even Anaheim?"
Bedard: "No, no, no, I'm good, this will be fine! Could you please stop the car? You got any extra swim trunks?"

Oh the Dolan story is also pretty f***ing hilarious in the sense that these billionaires have the thinnest skins and the tinniest genitals known to humankind. I can't believe degenerates look up to this idiots. :laugh:

hubris and absolute power, I guess? At least we have the Knicks. 50+ years since a championship and a big a joke as they've ever been.
 
FWIW, all the players have said they've loved the atmosphere in Mullett arena.

Numbers don't really matter if the crowd's gonna be disinterested and quiet. You can sell an arena out and have it be pretty well lifeless, we should all be familiar with that seeing the PPG Paints arena. :laugh:

And yeah, Dolan's a psychopath. He uses facial recognition to remove/ban people he deems his enemies from MSG (not just Rangers/Knicks games, but all events) and when faced with backlash over the practice, he's now threatening to ban the sale of all alcohol at MSG. :laugh:

Players are just shocked they can see and hear fans for once at a Yotes home game.

Haha all jokes aside I think they’re in negotiations for a proper arena finally aren’t they? (As in a city that wants to play ball and not mess about with the way the previous one did) I’d love to just see them get Bedard and then by year two he’ll ask to be moved anyway so it’ll be nice for Arizona to feel relevant for a bit.

Dolan has massive no dick energy.

And in fact I think it's a considerable detriment to their character that anyone who comes in contact with him doesn't immediately shove his pouty slovenly mug into a cream pie and give him a wedgie.

I can't wait until he can employ Boston Dynamics robots at all the doors so they can do a Fortnite dance over my body after crushing every one of my bones. All because I suggested he has ED. :(

They really ought to try some of this stuff in front of a focus group or something. The golf thing was cool although there’s no way they can keep that for every all star weekend. But man…everything is so discombobulated. That shootout thing with the 4 players is just plain cringey and lame. They should have just let the competitions run straight through instead of breaking them up and spreading them throughout the evening.

The whole thing was so crinegy I can’t even watch…it’s not fun and the broadcast is awful…who cares about all star shit…just honor guys with the selection and don’t even have a game or skills competition…it’s just terrible

All you need is accuracy contest, hardest shot, fastest skater.

If you want goalies involved, have them shoot at open nets and do their own fastest skater.

Not sure how you make that longer than an hour. But that's the only shit that's interesting as skills.

The allstar game, as every one is, is dumb.
 
In my opinion, pride jerseys aren't really about individual players signaling their agreement with LGBTQ people; they're about showing marginalized groups that the NHL wants them as fans. This is why players choosing not to wear the jersey causes so much drama--the implicit message is that support from LGBTQ fans isn't wanted.
That's a big part, but it's also getting framed as Pride nights are *only* about fans. If there are active players or prospects other than Luke Prokop who are closeted or quietly not straight, it's reinforcing to them that they'd best not fly *their* flag.
 
FYI NHL Shop has a sale going on until the end of tonight. Up to 65% off stuff from them. You to can also get your own RoboPen jersey ;)
 
I don’t understand why they turned the trick shot into a skits. The golf thing was awful. Watch McDavid beast the accuracy contest was fun.

It’s like here’s all these amazing athletes but instead of showing their skills they put on this cringey crap. I can’t believe how bad this league is mismanaged.
