NHL: Around the League 51

[IU Hawks fan]

Apparently Nike’s MLB game uniforms are actually made by Fanatics. Nike gets the contract and pays Fanatics to make them.

NHL is eliminating the middle man. I’m still not convinced it will be a quality product.

Yep. Fanatics bought Majestic's plant, so the uniforms haven't changed at all from when they had the rights.

Similarly, nearly every on-ice hockey jersey is made by SP in Quebec.
- "Adidas" NHL jerseys
- "CCM" AHL jerseys
- "Nike" International jerseys
- etc etc.

The on-ice product isn't changing at all, it's just a patch. The ones sold to fans are made in Indonesia, and Fanatics will probably continue to have them made in that same plant.

Fanatics also makes the NFL "Nike" jerseys sold to fans.

This is going to be a shitshow.

Wolves have always preferred doing things their way to the detriment of their supposed parent organization. Main reason why I always told upset Hawks fans when they were temporarily affiliated with the Blues and Nucks that it was actually a good thing for us that that was the case and why us partnering with the Wolves under any circumstance would be a horrid idea.

Guess GK is optional in the Rags/Tampa game.

This is going to be a shitshow.

They're gonna lose a lot of money and a lot of games.

Not a single hockey game on tonight. Way to go.

McDavid hit 150 points

 

[x Tame Impala]

McDrai might be good enough to win Edmonton a Cup this year. 150 points is nuts.

Where do you guys rank this season post lockout? Definitely the best season I’ve seen since Ovie’s 08 year.

It's on par with Gretzky and Lemieux back in the day. He has more than an ASSIST PER GAME. If you took away all his goals, he's still a top 20 scorer in the NHL. It's absurd.

 

[Behn Wilson]

Pasta with a hattrick so far tonight and nets his 60th goal of the year. Not too shabby.

Sounds like the Wild are sitting pretty much all their good players. Wish we would do the same.

The Hawks have like maybe 2 good players lol.

With the Flames season on the line in SO, Sutter sent out Nick Ritchie!

Flames have been eliminated from playoff contention.

Sutter will be back on farm in a few days and this should be it for his NHL career

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Sounds like Voracek is coming to terms with end of his career



Was a good player and the centerpiece of the Flyers Carter trade (A great trade for Flyers in end)

 

[clydesdale line]

Some incredible milestones last night.

Erik Karlsson reached 100 points on the season as a defenseman.

Pavelski and Giroux both hit 1000 points for their careers.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Dustin Wolf making his NHL debut tonight. Very, very high on the kid.

WEST:

DAL vs MIN—> DAL in 6
COL vs SEA—> COL in 5
VGK vs WPG—> VGK in 5
EDM vs LAK—> EDM in 7

EAST:

BOS vs FLA—> BOS in 5
CAR vs NYI —> CAR in 5
NYR vs NJD—> NJD in 7
TOR vs TBL—> TOR in 7
========================

Part of me thinks Boston is going to blow it but that +128 goal differential and record breaking season tells me otherwise. Toronto finally breaks through the first round this year. I don’t believe in the Rangers. I thought they’d figure it out by deadline time but they don’t look very elite. Edmonton is 9-0-1 coming into the playoffs and I’m predicting a BOS vs EDM SCF.
