The Super Bowl Sunday game between the Pens and Caps in 2010 was fantastic and I was friggin' fortunate to be there for multiple reasons.

Here's the full broadcast of ^this^ game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r0oKcxQyJ4

For context, there was a gently caress-all blizzard which came through the day before and dumped a couple feet of snow on the DC area, causing the Pens to have to take the train to Washington. Adding to the intrigue was there was a second gently caress-all blizzard which came in either the next morning (Monday) or Tuesday.

Ironically enough, Sunday was a spectacular, bright, sunny day on which I trudged through knee-deep snow in moon boots to get from the JW Marriott to Verizon Center and it was so, so worth it.

e- One weird quirk about the broadcast is the change in color analysts for the third(?) period. Eddie Olczyk had to get back to Chicago for some sort of honor (and might have been trying to beat the weather out), so Mike Milbury joins Doc and Pierre for the finish.

The Pens/Caps game on January 16th 2017 was pretty fun if you like a back and forth game with lots of goals.

I don't know why defensemen seem to hate hitting UFA so much.

Was confused for a bit about how this set the record. Lmao forgot Suter and Parise got 13 years.

In 2023-2024, the Wild will be paying $7.538M to a 39 year old Parise, $7.538M to a 38 year old Suter, $6M to a 36 year old Zuccarello, $7.575 to a 33 year old Spurgeon. $28.651M for those 4 guys. I'd much rather have Toronto's overpaid players problem where at least they're star players.

Because of the CBA structuring and the unwillingness/collusion of GMs to gently caress over labor OP.

Marleau, Pominville, Vanek and Phaneuf still haven't signed from the "washed up but once decent" camp.

Ben Hutton is really the only under 30 guy left. I'm surprised he didn't get a camp invite. He's a legitimate NHLer (albeit an unspectacular one).

Neither Brian Boyle or Adam McQuaid retired this offseason so they're still officially available I guess?

Brouwer, Sbisa, Read, Rieder, Stafford, DSP and Upshall (as always) got camp invites so one or two will sign the rest are likely done or europe bound.

It's a pretty thin list overall.

He broke that streak last year. Before then, he had 34 goals and 70 points in 64 games against the Bruins.

Gardiner and Kadri are gone and with them any remainders of the 2013 nightmare and that's what I'm going to convince myself is different this time. I mean they were pretty key ingredients in the last two failings against Boston as well.

Ah so we’re using ENG to rewrite history now, cool.

The crazy thing about the scores of those series is the Leafs played like absolute dogshit in 2013, they were full-on Randypuck and white-knuckling it every time the puck was in their end.

2013 was easily the most fraudulent Leafs team I’ve ever seen, made worse by the fact that their “success” emboldened Nonis to make them somehow significantly worse that offseason.

Aphrodite

They carried a 1 goal lead into the 3rd in 17-18 and then got buried. It was tied a minute into the period and then Toronto left the arena. 1 late ENG.

This year they never had a lead.

Double minor for roughing and 10?

It's not truly hockey until it's like the last game my team was in, in which a player received two minutes for a hit to the head. :colbert:

Those cumlords at tickemaster won't let you print out your tickets or save them as PDFs so you can send one to a friend or whatever at all any more. Everyone needs to have a ticketmaster account and the app or log on to the mobile site and show up with your greasy-rear end, nigh-unscannable screen in your palm.

What if you're like my old man and you don't have a smart phone? Or am I missing something?

Nah, you don't have to defend Ticketmaster.

There's no technical reason you can't print a ticket, except on top of extorting you for fees they also want to force you to install their app so they can collect some data. It's them who suck.
