HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2023-2024 season

Just read a Sportsnet article celebrating Max Domi going after, checks notes, Simon Nemec. Am I safe to assume that Nemec got the Domi special of just being suckered and not getting a real chance to even know a fight was about to happen?
Domi literally jumped him. It is the richest thing I have seen on hfboards all year long considering the bitching a moaning that went on after Xhekaj "jumped" Reaves.

Gratuitous attack on a rookie who did like 2 extra shoves in a nothing play? Domi was tossed out of the game for this crap.

Wowza. Even more nothing than I assumed. Luke Fox should not be allowed to “write” articles. Pathetic play praised by pathetic “journalism”. Maple Leafs reporting and fandom in a nutshell. Mathews gave what he got too, didn’t even need that “defence”. In fact, why didn’t a Devils jump him, I mean, Domi set the stage for what deserves retribution I guess. Kind of funny, but mostly pathetic.

Domi is such a POS. Matthews is a big boy,let him take of things himself. although he is one of the biggest p***yes to ever lace them up.

It was obvious salt lake city was set up earlier in the year when they were like fourth in line for an expansion team but the NHL kept mentioning them.

They're still in the desert so nothing really changes.

I swear it was announced Stone was expected to be done till next season. That’s greasy
Playbook was written by Chicago and TBay, and Vegas fell in love with it.

It this point it’s just an obvious strategy. Spleen or not, when you look around the lockerroom in January, you can find guys that will need a break to get healthy for the next season, might as well give them those three months right away to regroup and comeback in mid April. If only we did the same with Weber during COVID and Price. They missed significant amount of games at the end of the season there anyway.

Arizona's last game in the league will be against Mcdavid. Edmonton could do something funny and rest all their stars.

The Blues loss means Vegas will clinch the final WC playoff spot tonight with a win over Minnesota.

Vegas currently leads 3-0.
 
That's sad for Arizona.

I think the nhl will be back one way or another in that market.

They should have moved to Scottsdale instead of taking sweetheart deal to glendale. Everything went south afterwards.
Yeah, can't wait for the NHL to move back into a failed market with their 36th+ team.
 
No there won't be any expansion. The reason is the amount of games to play/show increasing passed the actual profitability of presenting more and more. The league will have issues with broadcasters, arenas, competition from the MLB, etc... I think they stick to 32 clubs for another CBA at least. Then they can think about splitting into 2 leagues never playing each other. The product will have spoilage issues, however.

They need to solidify their current markets. Arizona moving to Utah is a very good hint at that. There will be other teams going under review until the next CBA. Same objective: Making sure the markets they are exploiting are healthy for the league.

Another hint is Rogers choking on their broadcasting deal with the NHL. They just can't profit after spending that much to beat Bell. They had to start selling to Amazon. That imho means we'll see the league go onto streaming next and that, I hope, will mean the end of all regional blackouts. Another problem with the way the NHL is operating. They can't even sell to everyone because they have to protect local broadcasters. Now imagine adding more local broadcasters who will need more protection again. It just won't work forever.

I'm happy Arizona is moving.

Question: Who's next?
