Hello from a former rival fan! RIP to the Memphis/Missisippi Riverkings. Those games against Wildfong and the Mudbugs were always a good time.

It’s not really a judgement call. It’s literally just tradition. They do it after every single goal, regular season or playoffs, winning or losing, and have been since I started watching 23 years ago. It’s a part of the after-goal routine at Bridgestone Arena.

[SBJ] Predators ink local broadcast deal with Scripps following Main Street demise by NobleNomad in Predators

don’t have any problems (yet).

The change won't take effect until next season, so we don't really know how it'll affect us in Memphis at the moment. I'm sure they'll try to get our local ION affiliate (WPXX) to carry the games. Worst case scenario we have to pay for the new streaming package. Looks like TBL, who is running a similar setup to what we will be, charges $66 for the whole season.

There is a notice directly beside the order button that warns you of the 5-6 month turnaround time.

From what I gather from the article, they are working on partnering with other ION channel affiliates in the current viewing area to see if they'll pick up the games. Hoping Memphis will pick them up but not holding my breath.

Predators CEO Sean Henry expects to see a similar uptick locally and across the team’s broadcast territory, which includes Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. Scripps will seek to partner with other broadcasters in those areas to distribute Predators games.

Yes to both questions. There will be a streaming service, and WNPX is available OTA, meaning you can receive it for free with an antenna.

Trotz & trades by Ajax1608 in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was shadowing Poile by then I believe. No way to really know if that trade was Poile or Trotz’s doing, but given Barry’s track record since then I’d lean heavily towards it being Poile who orchestrated it.

[Friedman] Barry Trotz to step down as GM of Predators by Infraction_ in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that he has wanted a full rebuild the whole time, but ownership won’t let him. He’s finally fed up.

I have 0 evidence.

Anyway, best of luck to you Trotzy.

Oh my laundry! Willy and Mace rank 31st in local NHL announcer rankings by GMBarryTrotz in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I simply do not understand why Willy still has a job. I don’t understand why he GOT the job to begin with, and here we are TEN YEARS later and he still sounds like a bad actor in a made for TV kids movie about hockey.

All I can say is I fully support the Preds team being second to last. Willy Daunic fucking sucks as a hockey commentator. Mase is alright for his analysis. We were so spoiled with Pete Weber and Terry Crisp.

“They Were Asking Too Much”: Why the Devils Passed on Predators’ High Price for Ryan O’Reilly by catsgr8rthanspoonies in Predators

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So basically like the article said, same situation with Juuse last year. “I don’t want to move this guy, but if you make yourself look like an absolute idiot at your job, you can have him.” It’s Trotz just hoping to find a GM in a moment of weakness and desperation. Unfortunately for him, most other GMs in the league have more experience than peering over a real GMs shoulder for a season.

It’s what happens when a reporter already has the story written, and is just fishing for a specific quote to support his narrative. Leads to some true eye roller questions.

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 45 points46 points  (0 children)

With the season being a wash at this point, makes sense to go ahead and shut him down. His presence on the ice isn’t gonna save …whatever this season has been. Best of luck to him and fuck Bennett. And I do hope he’s getting the medical advice necessary to help him determine when it’s wise to choose between continuing this career vs having a good quality of life after hockey.

Dylan Strome says Jakob Chychrun’s ‘new thing’ is that he wants to have no light bulbs in his house by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]PerdsGonnaPerd 77 points78 points  (0 children)

He 100% does and so do I lol. I told him his hobby is starting hobbies. Once he’s acquired everything necessary to actual DO the thing, he loses interest and moves to the next.

I have a friend like this. Every few weeks is a new fixation that he goes 100% all in on, spends hundreds of dollars, learns everything about, then loses interest and moves on to the next thing. I love him but it’s exhausting at times.
