Early gang
Eh yo up an farming at 2:30am an nothing better than looking for the next song on YouTube an seeing DK new content just woke me back up thanks DK 🤙🏼
Good job Teddy!
I think Gary is on coke or something. He seems jittery.
The games are on too late. Plus they bs and the puck drop isn’t until 8:20. People who wake up at 4:30 am more than likely won’t tune in. I watched like 12 minutes of game then had to go to bed. Of course I would have watched whole game of it was on at 7
thank you for being so consistent DK. it really is nice getting to hear about this stuff each weekday
Spezza brings new energy and spark to the team. It seemed pretty obvious that this would happen but it is a great step forward in terms of slowly building a new team. Thanks DK for your work….hope you have a wonderful Father's Day weekend.
Assistant gm duties are coffee and donuts.
Bettman is an ass, but the owners like him so he's not going anywhere.
ESPN sucks and treats hockey like trash. TNT did a good job. I watched every game but I’m not surprised the ratings weren’t good. All of Canada was crying so they probably didn’t tune in. Additionally, the local areas are not typical hockey markets. That’s an NHL marketing issue that Bettman has done a poor job of addressing.
Regarding the final itself, I thought it was good mostly because I hate everything about Florida and I like the knights. The panthers could have made it a series but they were outmatched; so it goes.
I also think Bettman in general is an ass clown. But you can’t blame him for everything that is wrong with the NHL. NBA players are all about themselves; hockey is all about Team.
I firmly believe the streaming/cable-only trend is killing pro sports. How do the people running these leagues fail to remember they gained their success and popularity because the games were freely available on every screen in the country?
In all fairness Florida and
Vegas don’t have much of a fan base. I’ve never met a Florida fan and Vegas is only 5 years in.
DK, your impression of Bettmam (whiny voice), makes me lmao. It’s spot on 🤣
It's cause it was teams that some people don't care for..Vegas. is one..I didn't watxh much.if it was closer then it may have been fun to watch
McDavid is going to be one of the best players to ever play and I know people who don’t even recognize his name. It’s a good example of how poorly the NHLs marketing is.
