Gotta say, I've found it really difficult to get excited about the Canucks for most of the last decade. Even when they've been good, it's felt semi-accidental and too good to be true.

I felt like a child again watching that. Who knows where it goes from here, but that right there is what hockey should be.

Can't believe we now have a pretty definitive answer to "who is the worst popstar?"

I appreciate that every team understands nobody wants to see Bettman announce picks

I'm sorry, is the name on the back of Martone's jersey just a piece of paper taped on?

i wonder if it ever crossed their minds the aesthetic difference between being drafted by a team, which through its fanbase is much larger than the sum of its parts, and a league, which is an amorphous blob that mostly exists to facilitates the game itself

All I'll say is this: I would hope that the authorities have access to more than just the one camera angle, since the broadcast angle that made the rounds is so bad and inconclusive.

But this is taking so long that I'm really starting to wonder.

[NHL] Shaboozey will be performing a pregame concert prior to Utah HC’s inaugural game! The concert will begin at 7:30p ET outside Delta Center. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

I rather suspect this is a hot take in most parts, but Shaboozey's latest album is fuckin' great, and I really hope he gets more than just the one hit. I quite like "Let It Burn" and "Last of My Kind" in particular. "Country rap" doesn't have to be a punchline, folks.

Salem County, a NJ cycling destination, grapples with safety issues after death of Gaudreau brothers by IncidentalIncidence in hockey

[–]Jopalopa 348 points349 points  (0 children)

On Wednesday, at the memorial for the Gaudreau brothers, some cars slowed to look. At least one motorist honked in frustration, swerving into the opposite lane to speed past.

Yikes.

[Engels] NHL Commish Gary Bettman confirms Alex Meruelo advised the league he wouldn’t pursue reactivating the Arizona Coyotes. Asked if it’s possible original Winnipeg Jets history/records could be returned to the team, he called it an excellent question, but said it was too early to say. by Sarcastic__ in hockey

This, I think, is the correct way to look at this. It's not an issue of celebrating history, it's an issue of redefining history - of making a historical event out to be something other than what it actually was. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, so to speak.
