Agreed, I've met him and Edzo several times during NBC broadcasts because they sat directly behind us and Doc was always so friendly and welcoming, such a great guy and great play by play guy

Well, with the controversy and magnifying glass on the Yotes for drafting Miller super scorching now, they decide to renounce their rights to the racist bully: https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/...racism-surface


@ Miller...have fun with your career ruined you racist @$$!

Agreed...

The Pens have been taking payments every month, yet I have no time table for a season, it's extremely frustrating

It has to suck being a ticket holder right now but honestly, I am not sure it matters. It isn't like they are going to give you money back and you obviously don't want to give up your seats. There is also no way the season resumes with fans in attendance with things getting worst. The best the teams can hope for at this point is that the travel roster size is allowed to increase and they play in their own arenas with no fans.

Avs are going to be freaking scary this season in the Western Conference. I think it'll be down to LV and Denver to rep the West.

Hawks will suck. Their rebuild continues.


I'm also looking forward to Edmonton piledriving more high picks into the ground. Because signing Barrie really solves their defense-related issues.

Yeah, it's extremely frustrating as I already got a "credit" for the games we didn't play to finish last season, now I'm paying for another season that did not start in October and we have no idea if/when it will start at all. I definitely am not holding my breath that I will get to actually see games in person or sit in my seats any time soon.... Yet they keep taking my money

NHL consider a realignment with the following divisions:

Toronto-Ottawa-Winnipeg-Vancouver-Calgary-Montreal-Edmonton
Boston-Buffalo-NYI-NYR-NJ-Philly-Pittsburgh-Wash
Tampa-Florida-Nashville-Carolina-Columbus-Detroit-Chicago-Minnesota
San Jose-LA-Anaheim-Vegas-Colorado-Arizona-Dallas-St. Louis

This makes sense for Chicago and Detroit but fucking sucks for Dallas and St. Louis. All those games will start at 9 pm local time.

They're claiming the season will start in January and be a 52 game season. I'll believe it when I see it...

From '97 to '12 Stars were in the Pacific with tons of 9pm game times. Fucking sucked.

The National LeLakers Signed Everyone Association is starting soon. You could watch LA destroy all teams as they stack themselves to repeat again?

Never really been a basketball fan. Watch the NCAA Tournament cause it is cool being single elimination anything can happen. Never had interest in the NBA.

Strap in...sounds like Jan. 3 is when training camps open and Jan. 13 is when the 56-game regular season starts.

Toews out indefinitely with a medical issue. It doesn't sound like COVID...so, it may be a concussion given the way he is describing it. Hope the captain returns soon...the game needs him.

Hawks' season is ...Dach is done and now Toews out indefinitely.

Don't know if anyone else watched them but watched a bunch of the WJC 2021 tournament the past few days including all the US and Canada single elimination games. I needed some hockey. Some super exciting games followed by the US defeating Canada last night for the gold medal.

Underrated goaltender. Wish him all the best.

I wonder if Hawks will retire his number? I think probably yeah?

Definitely is a stupid rant in the fact he said the only thing worthwhile is Parler.

Not one to bring up political things in any thread and I don't consider it political in the first place. What Trump did was stupid but having big tech censor speech by banning him I think sets a bad precedent for the future. I don't like it regardless of who the poster was because it riled up some stupid sheep that came out of the woods. The government should have been the one to censor him long ago from using Twitter.

Now back to hockey. Game begin on Wednesday!!!!!!

Yeah going to be interesting to see how this plays out the first week or two. Hopefully, this is just something that got messed up going into the start of the season and not a sign of what is to come. Needs to be a wakeup to the players that might not be taking it as seriously that if they want to be able to complete the season they need to take it seriously. Staff included in that as well since I believe the Stars positive tests were pin pointed to a trainer or team staff member and not a player.
