"Why? I know plenty of Americans that have watched it. It’s been on Netflix for a long time now where I’d imagine most saw it on after the fact (that’s how I did)."

Because I watched it in 2001 late at night on a 3rd tier Canadian TV channel called "Showcase" that was also know for showing softcore porn after midnight and running adds of models rolling around on the beach with Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" playing on loop.

If you told 13 year me, that TPB would be as big as it is now in the future I would have thought you were nuts.

Watched the first half today. It’s pretty amazing. I loved that rivalry as a kid.

Is there any chance this will change anytime soon? I mean, the ''yay, warriors''/''toughest cup to win''/''they are all beat up like pinyatas come SCF time and that's normal''. What would it require? Lawsuit? Probably not, as players are doing this voluntarily. This is goddamn stupid, but I don't see the way out. Where do you draw the line on the scale between a bruised knee and punctured lung / torn quad?

Nope, unless it's involuntary (ala the Lehner allegations earlier this year). There's a psychological dive into a competitor that shows that they'll do anything to win/succeed/be the best. It's likely a major reason that these guys are there in the first place as they cared more than anyone else to put in the work. There's also the matter of them being paid a substantial amount of money to play but that's essentially a non-factor here, IMO.

Could players be afraid of the repercussions that come from not suiting up whether it be from teammates by being called soft, management not offering the same contract that they may have if they played through it, or fans calling them soft or worse? Of course.

It's not an easy thing to come to but the only way it ends IMO is if it comes out that teams are forcing players to play with painkillers and all that and even then it's not stopping it.

Was he facing towards Philly

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I was pretty sure the Cirelli injury was shoulder related.

I couldn't believe Sportsnet carried the narrative that he was cut by a skate even after the video footage of Maroon helping Cirelli put his jersey on because Cirelli couldn't lift his arm...

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Was he facing towards Philly

Sadly no, but it was towards Providence and the Providence Plats.

Good because the Plats are the Official Rival of the Las Vegas Desert Ducks.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Looks like NAK wasn't the only one to drop it... unless he dropped it again and caused those other dents.

Back to back Calder Cup Champions*



*They didn't have an AHL playoffs for the last two seasons because of Covid, so I don't know if it would be more accurate to say back to back or consecutive champions. Also, our affiliate moved from Charlotte to Chicago during that timeframe, so it was technically two different teams that won.

They’re just lucky that Lappy didn’t get his squad that he had playing above their heads during their playoff push into the dance.
