Wait. Are Vancouver fans brains broken to the point of saying Vancouver should trade Quinn Hughes ?

CBJSprague24 posted:This is interesting to hear from a local, as I wondered the same thing about Chicago as an outsider. You can probably make this argument about every NHL city, though (less than 32 if you count NYR/NYI/NJ and LA/ANA as in one market each), which is why I hate the "there's nothing to do in (small-market team city)" argument. NYC is (no surprise) expensive as poo poo. But for a 20-35 year old athlete making 600k to millions of dollars, they don’t have to necessarily worry about the cost, so it’s mostly all glamor and there’s endless poo poo to do in NYC. I’ve said this before, but there’s a reason a lot of people are moving to Nashville. It’s a pretty badass place with a lot of poo poo to do, and there’s like 5 cities within 3-5 hours drive too. It’s obviously not a hidden gem or whatever anymore, but Nashville is def not a boring place , even if it is now a place with horrible traffic because everyone moved there.

Eric the Mauve posted:Years ago I lived for a couple years way out a hundred miles from nowhere, in the vast nothing west of Nashville. It was 45 minutes from the nearest Walmart, and the only place you could get reliable cell reception in the whole county was in the Dollar General parking lot. Yeah, Tennessee gets super rural really quick in all directions after 40ish mins. It’s def a city oasis in a rural desert. The south and Midwest, hell probably most of the USA, are like that in general.

Reminder of the story when Bettman was negotiating whatever rights (I think TV), and he purposefully planned dinner with whatever executive in a bad part of NYC. The executive couldn’t get a cab, and when he asked if Bettman could give him a ride in his (pre planned) ride , Bettman responded “only if you agree to what I asked.” He got the deal too. loving cold hearted son of a bitch.

Kane for Eichel. One of one. If the allegations are true (and I have a very hard time believing his statements), banishment back to Buffalo would be an appropriate start of punishment.

Add to that a DiPietro interview , apparently he’s gonna be a hockey analysis for ESPN. https://theathletic.com/2747689/2021/08/03/espn-rick-dipietro-nhl-buyouts-simone-biles-twitter/?source=user_shared_article “How did you end up with @Hdumpty39 as your Twitter handle? Ooh, that’s a good one. When Twitter started, it wasn’t something I was really interested in becoming too involved with. But I was kind of interested to see what other people were saying. I was like, “I’ll make a name up.” Me and my wife went back and forth. And I was like, “You know, since I’ve been hurt all the time, let’s go with Humpty Dumpty.” I break apart, they put me back together. It stuck. My first radio job was with Alan Hahn. “Hahn and Humpty” sounded good together, so we kept it. Do you think you’ll ever change it back to your real name? Probably not, naw. I think we’re too far along in the process now to change it.” Fantastic quote.

One thing that was mentioned in the Fallon article is that he was never the same after injuring his shoulder (or whatever it was). Honestly, he may have gone farther today , between more modern training and rehab, versus what it was back then.

If I read it right, Minnesota lost a lot of players this off season (not all name players) , due to Seattle plus expiring contracts. They def still have a bunch of holes in their lineup to fill by start of regular season.

Flocons de Jambon posted:I wonder if the NHL made a mistake in having the Canucks be the first home match for the Kraken. The Canucks start their season on the road and the game against the Kraken comes before Vancouver's home opener. There hasn't been a game open to the public in Vancouver in a long time, and even though prices are steep for the Kraken home opener, I could see a lot of bored rich people from BC making the trip. They’ll stop booing after Seattle crushes Vancouver in said game.

ThinkTank posted:Bergeron is an absurd statistical outlier. Do not expect any player to age like him at all no matter how similar their play styles are. For every Bergeron and Kopitar continuing to be effective two way forwards well into their thirties, there's a dozen Ryan Keslers and Mike Richardses plummeting into the void at 32. Sure , but Coots also crosses the Canadian border from time to time, so we can always solve the contract with cocaine if need be.
