News From Around The League - Part XXXVII

[Devils Dominion]

I heard some guy wants the Devils to claim Mike Santorelli?

Sure sounds like #Stars deal with Jamie Benn getting finalized. Latest Dal offer I heard was 33M. Look for cap hit around 5.5M for 5/6 yrs

haha connolly waived i saw. hes such a mess.

 

[Capt Nico Poo]

youre either really really drunk or have lost your mind. why?!

It was the vibe!

NYR and Pens were out for, well, I hate them.

Boston just won the cup, doubt that they will do it again this soon. (Yes, I know, its weird)

Philly, naw, not good enough. Rest of the teams in east? Doubtful. Only team that I thought would be interesting, is Sabres. Miller can do miracles. But its not a serious bet, if it was, my money, all the 5 euros, would be on Pens probs. Or Rags.

Why not bet the Devils?

I never bet on my own team, just a rule. I did tell before 2011-2012 season people to put money on the Devils, they had great odds too.

Just like i told people to do in 2006 Soccer world cup, France is going to kick ass.

Leafs will play Monday's home opener for free. Season ticket holders will not be billed. About 1,000 remaining tix will be given away.

nice gesture

 

[apice3*]

Great move by Leafs. I suggested that all 30 teams do that a few weeks ago.

They can afford it. I won`t praise a Russian billionaire for building a public toilet.

 

[GM17*]

Drop in the bucket for them, mountain of cash for many many others

aaaaaaaaaaaaand what the **** is this

WTF?

 

[Getzo5]

Obviously meant they can. Not sure why I typed the opposite.

WTF?

It`s an analogy.

 

[GM17*]

I know what you meant in the first bit but didn't quite get the second half. I have a cold though so I might just be feeling a bit downsy drowsy!

lol.

Leafs have and generate a ******** of money. They absolutely can afford to give out free tickets for their home opener (which will be a sellout).

We can`t. Nor can about 25 other teams in this league.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

I think we should be doing everything in our power to fill our arena for the first couple games no matter what price point you have to set it at to achieve it.

They can afford it sure, but how often do you ever actually see teams DO it, especially with a ****load of guaranteed revenue on Opening Night? And in Toronto no less, where they don't really have to worry about the fans coming back.

I know thattttttttttttt parrrrrt. Just didn't get the russian billionaire building toilets for public use part. Was wondering if it's like an old Slovak proverb or something

I thought you were talking about Prokhorov for a sec.

"I built that Toilet. You will use it. Now."

They might loose some soon if they don`t get better. Or drop the ticket prices a bit, we`re already at that point. Who wants to pay so much for something so miserable? Not saying this isn`t a nice gesture, just that they can afford it, while others can`t.

Suuure.

Just thinking about it, it really could become one. People in Slovakia dislike Russians. haha

Speaking of teams offering perks:

New Jersey Devils
A spokesman for the team says there are surprises being planned for the home opener and that fans will begin to receive details on Thursday.

Boy, I thought only hockey ops knew how to keep a secret CIA-style

 

[Nick0930]

Free leftover towels from the finals!

Based on the Devils' facebook page it looks like the home opener will be "puck giveaway" night.

They need to do much more than that IMO.
