If dubas does go to Pittsburg, I only have 3 words for him: good (sic) luck. He’s going to need it.
Bettman should not have gotten that award as he failed to keep his 50 year guarantee to Tempe and he lost the vote for a new stadium….ads need to go as they are a nuisance
Latvia upsets Sweden and Canada beats Finland…semi…USA vs Germany and Canada vs Latvia
Go Stars
Re: Digital Board Ads FYI: This year's Sports Emmys nominated the NHL Broadcasts for their "Digitally Enhanced Dasher Boards." For the record, it did not win in their category (The George Wensel Technical Achievement Award), which was awarded on May 22.
Let's say Shanahan told them they are safe and Brad is going to the leafs. Both these things are "true" in this hypothesis
What happened looks something like this.
leafs wanted to talk with Brad, Calgary caves on it but no drft talk. Brad does an interview/vision/input for his vision of the leafs going forward. Tells Shanahan all 4 are part of the vision. Shanahan happy with the interview/vision, green lights Brad then goes and tells the 4 they are safe.
Ever see Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind? The Stars are her when she gets run over by the giant stampede of insects. There will be no miraculous revival here though.
LAS VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS TONIGHT!!! I'd really like to see one of the Knights "Clean Domi' Clock"! The little shrimp has it comin'!!! Florida vs. Vegas, one hell of a Stanley Cup ahead!
Vegas
Record: 40-30-10
I haven't watched a whole lot of hockey this past season, but the digital board ads didn't bother me. I don't like ads in general, but these don't bother me. I don't see the glitching people have mentioned, maybe it's the resolution and screen size I'm watching at?
Anyone seen Gary in the comments section today?! He usually makes an appearance to accept his heartfelt congratulations!!!
Didn't Shanahan just say that he called the core players to notify them of Dubas' departure?! I think there's a lot of noisy conjecture aka torontoSpeak at play. Journalistic extrapolation?!
Good for Silovs and Latvia!
Leo Carlsson looks promising too
Panthers are 2023 version of the LA Kings. 💪Truly amazing
The revenue for every league has grown in the last 30 years. Also those board ads are a tragedy
1 and 0 yerstday5 and 1 39 and 35 record in the playoff
Stars will beat the Stars tonight
Nobody will ever have as many games lost to lockouts as Gary Bettman. Truly he is a person.
When was the last time both conference finals were swept?
I hope that the rumour that the core 4 in Toronto being untouchable isn't true. If so, any GM coming in might as well walk away and let Shanahan wear the hat instead. The team needs change, the players with the highest value that could make that happen are in that top 4. You want to win, or do you want to hold onto a dream with no results?
Yesterday: 0-1
Overall: 37-43
Today: Golden Knights
I mean, I think the NHL would be doing the same or better if Bettman was there or not. Also, why doesn't Shanahan just become Toronto's GM? Whoever becomes their GM will basically have to go through him on everything.
Florida has a wall Vegas has a hill, gonna be a good series
Funny how almost every game in the playoffs, the team with more shots on goal loses, again and again. Patrick Roy is smiling.
I'm happy to see Bettman is giving himself a lifetime achievement award. His work with the players and the fans has been phenomenal! His ability to treat all teams equally is un-equaled. His posture is that of a modern Adonis and his allure is intoxicating. Congrats Gary, you are the man, and hockey would not exist without you. 👏
I remember pens vs preds, as a pens fan I have no problem saying that if Johansen wasn’t hurt Nashville probably would have won that series
Escrow, ya…you make millions relax players
So Sidney runs the ship ala Shanahan when it comes to a leash on their gms
Gary Bettman has been a great commissioner. Booing him is good fun. But in all seriousness, he has grown this game. Would love to see any one of his haters work in his shoes. Would be an instant classic!
Lifetime Deceivement Award?
I wonder if Sports Business Journal is composed of the same fans who told Gary that they loved the distracting digital board ads….🤔
I hate the adverts on the dasher boards. I wish there was a mute or opt out button on my remote control. I’d use it like I do every time a TV commercial comes on – I hit the mute button !
4:26 But polling had shown that fans like the ads… 😮
Latvia did it 🇱🇻 🇱🇻 🇱🇻
Buttman giving himself an "Hockey's most hated individual" award. There was already a vote on his dearest desert pet project in Arizona and the citizens told him to go pound sand.
East conference is a bear
hockey focus more on fans and players
JJ Peterka has been dominant for Germany! Excited to see how he fares going into next season in Buffalo!
