Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCVII: Florida Panthers vs. Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup Finals (Poll in OP)

[Curufinwe]

Hockey would be more popular worldwide than soccer if it was more physical and had more fighting.

wut

Since the NFL changed the rules to increase scoring and reduce injuries, the ratings for football have tanked. And by tanked I mean they're better than ever.

sounds familiar....

 

[Taijuan Fedotov]

White is one of the biggest scumbags in the world but he's right on this one.

I would pay money to see someone smash Dana White in the face multiple times

While I like the enthusiasm, "rocks for brains" comes to mind.

I would too, but he's not wrong. Marketing was the ONE THING that f***ing Bettman was supposed to bring to hockey from the NBA, but for three decades he has failed miserably.

the reduction of injuries in the nfl had nothing to do with ratings,it had everything to do with them knowing about CTE. The rule changes allowed the nfl to reduce potential future risk while not taking responsibility for things that they were on the hook for like covering up the effects of concussions. You don't think nfl has a ratings problem? Tune in in a couple of generations my friend.

There are rumors (read, rumors) that the Firebirds didn't have rooms booked past game 4 because they expected to sweep the series (it's now tied 2-2). I really hope that's true.

 

[Striiker]

Are they even old enough to be there without adult supervision? They look like 14 year olds.

You olds are supposed to be the adult supervision that keeps me out of trouble.

You’re not doing a very good job.

Hey, don't look at me. I'm the one beating the drum with a baseball bat for a little tough love but I keep getting overruled because it's "threatening."

I’d argue that being a Philly fan has been tough enough but I’m willing to try it.

He isn’t wrong. He’s just a massive asshole

Nonsense. When it comes to my son (ugh), feel free to use gim as the drum.
