Vegas games sound like a hootCharlie O'Connor posted:It was no secret in the days leading up to Sunday's matchup that Flyers fans had invaded Las Vegas in droves. Orange (and green for the recently victorious Eagles) have been all over the Strip since Friday, and at the arena there were easily thousands of Philadelphia fans who came west to support their team and generally live it up for a few days. They were loud all game long and certainly made their presence felt.

DJExile posted:Vegas games sound like a hoot It shows in ticket prices. After watching the game I checked stubhub to see what prices are, maybe a trip to Vegas next year right? Upper bowl tickets start at $100-110 for all the games I looked at, with the exception of the Arizona Coyotes ($88). I would still consider it, but man those prices are higher than upper bowl in other cities I’ve been to games to recently (Philly, St. Louis, Nashville). Probably a combo of both Vegas pathing crazy good and like the article said, fans get an excuse to go to Vegas.

Yeah, I'm sure part of that is just that it's a hot ticket since it's the big new show in town, combined with the stunning success out of the gate. The prices will likely drop a bit next year, and I'm sure there's gonna be quite a difference in prices between weekend and weeknight games. They're a really fun team to watch, too. It's basically nothing but 4 straight lines worth of 2nd/3rd liners who forecheck the gently caress out of the game and can wind up getting a bunch of good chances against opponents' lower lines. Marchessault is a hell of a player too.

Their first home preseason game against the Kings wasn't anything terribly outlandish, but was a really good time and also showed the promise for what might be to come. The crowd ate all of it up and game ops was feeling out what might work.. I'd love to go back to bandwagon the Knights. I think one of the things I enjoy the most is, as others have said, they're a team of second and third liners not unlike the 2013 lockout year Columbus team, which was essentially a band of cast-offs who almost got in. Unrelated, 7 of 8 Metro teams have held a playoff spot in the last 24 hours, with the 8th one point out. Philadelphia is somehow third now.

If Capitals keep playing dumbass man to man defense they will be lucky to make the playoffs. The Metro is tightening up. They look outmatched too often and they only have 11 home games left. I still feel like they’ll make some adjustments and improve but as of right now their coaches and scheme are their second biggest problem. Biggest issue is constant fumblepuck by Niskanen, Orpik and Bowey. People like to scapegoat Orpik - he deserves it to an extent but Niskanen has been the one making horrible turnovers the past few games.

Detroit could easily finish with the 4th and yet they keep pulling points out of nowhere and will probably finish around the 7th or 8th instead. TANK, YOU NON-LOSING LOSERS.

Not that I've watched a ton of Caps hockey this season, but in the few that I've caught here and there Niskanen seems to be starting to age a bit which might be a problem since there's still 3 years to go on that deal and it doesn't seem like the Caps are in a decent position to start mixing in younger guys to take a bigger role away from Orpik/Niskanen.

Wouldn’t surprise me if a bunch of teams did that. Also this homestead is going to be hilarious for the away/home splits. Chicago, a California team, 3 Canadian teams playing here for the first time, and the Oilers who seem to own us. Canadian team fans travel really well, even the Winnipeg game was nuts.

Yeah I didn't get to watch the game, but watching the highlights and Niskanen was the one who hosed up on at least two of the goals. On the other hand, as stupid as it was that they were down 4-1 to the Red Wings on home ice to begin with, I was impressed that they fought back to OT. And while this has been Nicky B's worst season on record, it was really nice to see him rip a GTG like he did.

I have my tickets to the Oilers game in Vegas, so after making the trip I'm sure this will be the game we lose horrifically. I really don't understand how Vegas can be 13-1-1 vs the Pacific after only watching their loss and OTL.

Have they always played this under Trotz and I just didn't pay attention? Seriously that's one of my/the criticisms of AV is that he runs this kind of man on man style defense that when it works it can work really well but is just hard to play and have everyone on the same page at the same time so it often breaks down with a bunch of guys looking around trying to figure out where they should go It's freaking me out that all the criticism of the Caps coaching is basically word for word my criticism of AV's coaching

It's 2 weeks until the NHL trade deadline and the 31 teams in the league have completed 20 trades involving players who have appeared in the NHL this season since the season began. Of those 20, only 10 have included players who appear in their NHL lineups regularly. Of those 10, only 3 involved players that play above the 4th line/bottom pairing/backup position. They claimed that the lack of trades was due to the looming expansion draft last year. What's their excuse this year because this GM inertia sucks. The NHL seems to be the only league that totally fails to recognize the incredible free advertising the excitement around big trades brings. The Cavs going nuts at the deadline was front page news and probably resulted in several million additional viewers for their next couple games. Why doesn't the NHL actively encourage things like that? ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Feb 12, 2018 |

I can't speak for the NBA but how often do big trades in the NHL (mid season) lead to any kind of success in the playoffs? Probably more than a few GMs looking at what Washington paid for Shattenkirk last year and getting cold feet about paying that kind of price when it didn't pay off for the Caps. Also prices sound kind of insane. A first, a top prospect, and a third piece for Brassard? I know he's got another year on his deal but jesus.

Because Honor and teams are too cowardly to full on tank (and the lottery has put a bit of a damper on it). The NHL cap is also more restrictive.

This might have something to do with it https://www.foxsports.com/nba/gallery/nba-players-with-no-trade-clause-2016-080216 Also I don't know anything about the NBA but I wouldn't be surprised if the weird NHL playoff format + loser points keeps a lot more teams on the bubble later in the season.

The Cavs got headlines because Lebron is also the GM and coach of the Cavs, and the NBA needs stories beyond "Golden State is going to destroy everyone again". Trades are big, yeah, but trades just for the sake of trades aren't really going to do much. https://twitter.com/charlieo_conn/status/963117919184932864 So yeah flyers probably aren't doing much for the deadline
