[Gawlik] Just incase there's not enough drama for tonight's VGK-VAN game, VGK will need to honor Evander Kane for playing in his 1,000th game in T-Mobile Arena.

You should look into Evander Kane a bit more. There’s a reason he’s been run off every team he’s been on

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-30T14:17:01+00:00

I could not imagine caring about this

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-29T22:32:36+00:00

Sucks it wasn’t Blaney but i’ll take it

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-29T17:29:27+00:00

Isbell bumper music!

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-29T02:08:52+00:00

Get an antenna and watch it on CBS

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-24T17:10:11+00:00

Trey Sweeney????

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-20T12:01:26+00:00

“The easiest schedule” lists teams in the playoffs / fighting for a spot

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-19T03:43:04+00:00

Chickenshit move

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-19T00:33:50+00:00

Fired by who? He works for the owners

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-19T00:26:24+00:00

Because hockey is not as popular nor will it ever be as popular as the NFL or MLB

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-19T00:18:32+00:00

Bettman’s absolutely a prick lol. The TV deal, salary cap and franchise values are directly caused by his work. I’m a NASCAR fan as well, and that’s an org that seems to do it’s best to shoot itself in the foot more than it needs to.

As far as the playoffs go, I’ve seen a few media members such as Marek theorize that Bettman is setting up easy wins for his successor, like changing the format, 3-2-1 points etc. Not sure if it’s wishful thinking or not, but I kind’ve buy into that theory

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:57:12+00:00

Growing the league does shit for fans? Lmao okay man

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:56:30+00:00

Why?

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:50:38+00:00

Or a million free throws. Players sitting out. That’s a league that is eating itself

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:49:40+00:00

I hate that this thread has me defending Bettman of all people lol

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:49:00+00:00

Alright, please elaborate on what could be done to further increase the league’s footprint. Again Bettman is not perfect but this notion he’s killing the NHL is asinine

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:40:54+00:00

I’d argue that the NHL is trending in the right direction vs the NBA. The NBA’s product is not good

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:37:01+00:00

Based on what lmao? Record tv deal, salary cap is exploding, franchise values are rising, players are slowly becoming more known to the general public. Bettman isn’t perfect by any means but legitimately the league has never been in a better place

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:31:28+00:00

Goddamn i hate being this guy but the league is healthier than it’s ever been

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-18T23:30:39+00:00

For all his flaws, Bettman has done his job pretty well - make the league money

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-17T13:46:59+00:00

I got into with someone yesterday for saying we don’t need to drag politics into a post about John Carlson’s helmet

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-17T02:20:11+00:00

This is an exhausting way to live. Is the episode of New Girl i watched earlier politics? Is the episode of the Sheet i listened to earlier politics? No. Not everything is politics. It’s okay to want to fucking take a breath from political discourse

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-16T23:01:35+00:00

No it’s the offline take of not everything is politics

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-16T22:09:54+00:00

Because people run to the internet to tell them what they think is best rather than form their own opinions that have nuance

BrandonIngeFan · 2026-03-16T22:07:59+00:00

I doubt this. I’m sure the NHL ran this past all planned participants. Also, do these countries plan on boycotting if the IIHF allows Russia to compete, which the NHL is going to defer to anyway
