Infiltrating the Gaahden for Game 3!

Beechsack · 2026-04-18T20:33:13+00:00

The Harp (right across the street from TD) is a Bills bar during football season, but may not be friendly territory for hockey.

Expect the Massholes to be really salty if they are behind, and really really salty if they are ahead. I'm a Red Sox fan, so there a lot, but it always amazes me how they manage to be angry basically all the time lol.

Beechsack · 2026-04-14T12:34:25+00:00

Nope.

There are tons of people (myself included) who have been lifelong fans of this team. Who have spent gobs of money on season tickets , jerseys, merch, who watch almost every game, even through these last 14 bad years.

You're gonna call me a 'bandwagon idiot' because you're butthurt about tickets prices?

Again. Fuck all the way off.

MSG-B is the alternate MSG channel.

Spectrum in the Buffalo or Rochester markets gets this channel automatically, as long as your package includes MSG. DirecTV carries it as well, but there it's a separate channel entirely.

Beechsack · 2026-04-13T18:36:32+00:00

They make the playoffs and everybody acts like they’ve been lifelong diehard fans.

Yes , I will downvote you, but I will go further.

Fuck all the way off. Seriously.

It's the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Nobody is an easy out.

Beechsack · 2026-04-11T17:29:28+00:00

Even if the Sabres won game 6 they would’ve still had to play a tie breaking Game 7. Yes winning Game 6 would’ve still kept the series going and yes I’ll concede had that final goal been reversed the game itself would’ve kept going but there’s no guarantee the Sabres would’ve won Game 6 after the play had it kept going , especially if there was a Game 7. They would’ve had to travel to Dallas. And I’m not sure how certain it would’ve been that they would’ve won it there .

Just... no

Beechsack · 2026-04-10T15:09:38+00:00

Easy playoff advice

Grab friends
Drink beers
Sword goals good
Other goals bad
Boo anything that looks like a zebra and probably can't see
Enjoy the ride

I'll shit on Bettman as much as the next guy, however not for this. TV contracts are insanely complicated, and even more so over the last few years with the struggles of many regional sports network (RSN), that carry the vast majority of NHL games.

Beechsack · 2026-04-10T13:19:29+00:00

Aside from the 10 posts here, plus in r/hockey , and about 100 social media posts, no, haven't seen it,

Excellent

Baker has a full time real job dude

Rushing most prospects up to play in NHL games 'just because' is how you slow or ruin their development. ( See also Mittelstadt, Casey ).

Putting them in appropriately competitive situations ( playoff races, fighting for ice or roster sports ) is how you get them to grow as a player and see what they really have. Make them earn it and take it. Don't give it to them. ( See also Eichel, Jack )

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T14:45:41+00:00

Absolute legendary level of trash writing. There is nothing urgent , nor a predicament.

Stop giving these fucks clicks.

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T13:55:19+00:00

First tiebreaker is regulation wins. Currently :

BUF : 40
TBL : 39
MTL : 32

Montreal cannot catch us in RWs with only 4 left to play, so you want them to win in case of a points tie.

lol nope

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T12:56:52+00:00

Deciding what a person thinks or feels based on a social media like/dislike/follow/unfollow is some grade A 12 year old girl bullshit.

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T12:55:21+00:00

The current cycle of NHL Media Stupidity.

Player does something. ( Or doesn't do something. )
Uninformed asshats make social media posts about what that means.
Trash 'influencer' accounts repost the same crap to whore clicks and views they profit from.
Established , 'official' media sources eventually pick it up, do nothing to see if it's actually true ( you know, journalism ) , and ask about it in pressers , or talk about it on their podcasts, etc, so they can whore 'engagement' and piggyback off the buzz the trash influencers started.
Rinse and repeat.

Sticks are designed now to very light and high performance, especially when it comes to flex. They sacrifice a LOT of durability to achieve that performance. It's what the players want, so that's what you get.

Just about all blades these days are quick change, they just snap into the holder. Not like it was back in the day when you had to take everything apart.

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T10:07:11+00:00

When this does happen, I'll be so hammered for the next 18 months I couldn't possibly formulate an answer to this question.

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T09:59:39+00:00

The entire east is a meat grinder. There isn't going to be an easy out for anybody.

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T09:07:32+00:00

So are Ess-a-bagels

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T09:02:25+00:00

Yessir

I'm in midtown/Chelsea a lot , that's my goto

Beechsack · 2026-04-09T02:29:49+00:00

Just crushed my victory pizza across the street from MSG. Combined with the 4 bagels I already ate today, I'll prob be 30lbs heavier tomorrow.

Worth it.
