Does anyone else think NHL is seriously under-marketing Ovi's record chase given what a monumental thing it is?

People outside of hockey don’t even know who McDavid. Marketing isn’t their strong suit

NHL being niche sport/thing is their own doing indeed.

Edit: I, of course, understand they are also affected by hockey being a very expensive sport etc but the league certainly isn't helping itself w 0 marketing skills

I know more about Latvian Floor hockey through you than the average American knows about ice hockey

The NHL should test the Flyers for performance-depleting substances.

 

[BillDineen]

Now do Ovi, just ahead of the record

Ekblad is the first NHL since Nate Schmidt in 2018 to get suspended for a failed PED test.

Aaron Ekblad 2024-2025
Nate Schmidt 2018-2019
Shawn Horcoff 2015-2016
Jared Tinordi 2015-2016
Carter Ashton 2014-2015
Zenon Konopka 2013-2014

That’s all the players that have been suspended for PED’s since 2013 when there were changes to their rules/procedures on them.

Probably our only realistic way to get rid of TORTS.

No. The last thing we need is the NHL shoving this story down our throats.

If I hear about Ovi breaking the record every day, I'll end up hoping he'll get Space Jammed and never scores a goal again.

Toronto - Utah game. A fight breaks out after a Leafs goal, and the Leaf player tried to start with a Superman punch.

A drug called Tortorella

 

[Curufinwe]

A drug that was claimed to be safe, but actually caused death.
