Also lmao I had no idea about this: https://www.ocregister.com/2011/09/01/book-recalls-roller-hockey-heyday/ quote:Anaheim had the dominant team from the start. It won the first championship and played in four of the finals in the league’s six seasons. This was in part because of a crucial decision by Bullfrogs coach Chris McSorely: “(I)t would be easier to teach ice hockey players how to skate on inline skates than it would be to teach players with a non-check roller hockey background how to play his style of physical hockey.”

If Pittsburgh wins the division, and philly and Washington play each other in the first round, doesn’t that make a good chance for the caps and pens to play in the second round? Poor caps fans lmao

You know the data which shows how efficient NHL culture is at quashing any semblance of personality in its most electrifying players, or its ability to somehow make the public sick of two generational talents by force-feeding us all Crosby vs Ovechkin ad nauseam? Also dumb poo poo like offside reviews gently caress.

I wish Jordan played in the social media era He is quite possibly the biggest rear end in a top hat of all time e: The 2010 Olympics got me into hockey and then I bandwagon'd onto the Flyers run

In 4th grade Sidney Crosby auditioned to play a tree in his school play. They didn't think he was lively enough.

Michael Jordan tips $5, Wayne Gretzky tips $100. Ergo, hockey is better than basketball.

Anecdotally but I know two people that got into hockey after Vancouver. Both became Pens fans No one I knew that wasn’t already a massive hockey fan watched Sochi. Casuals aren’t going to wake up in the middle of the night for a sport they don’t care about.

At least one of you works game production for a team right? On a goal tonight NESN's score bug said "Marchand (24(" with the wrong bracket on the end there. Do they seriously manually type that stuff?

I remember when Hall was traded and he felt slighted a bit and was hurt and now he must be so loving happy considering. And evidently it shows.

Never underestimate the motivation of “you don’t want me? Well gently caress you, I’ll show you why you are wrong.” Schenn going from Philadelphia to St. Louis is similar in that regard. Also, the entire Las Vegas Golden Knights roster.
