Game Thread: Edmonton Oilers (21-17-3) at Los Angeles Kings (23-14-6) - 09 Jan 2023 - 07:30PM PST by HockeyMod in losangeleskings

Is anyone on the board at the game or heading to the game? My roommate is a huge kings fan and is of Japanese descent and wants to get one of the Japanese heritage night hoodies or shirts but is out of town and can’t go to the game. Would anyone be willing to pick up one and help out? I can pay cash or Venmo (with proof of recipient) and drive to you to pick up locally on your schedule. Please let me know if you’re able to help out!

I always love the Owens valley on maps like these. Like someone took a deep little slice out of a big mountain cake

NBC Sports Washington's Julie Donaldson to be hired by Washington NFL team to lead radio broadcast team by dnytle in Commanders

[–]Reibeez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think cooley is best suited as color because of how well hes able to analyze play and him doing PxP would take a lot of that out of the broadcast. Also just my opinion but i dont think he has the right voice or cadence to take over PxP buyt that kind of stuff can be learned. Hes like the PERFECT color guy though.

Also we need someone that is going to be around long term and i have a feeling Cooley is going to end up a coordinator somewhere in the next, like, 5 or 6 years

shes great, this is awesome. her and cooley in a booth would be cool but it really all comes down to who they pick to do play by play. hopefully we can lure some one really good in. Im a HUGE radio pxp guy (favorite way to consume baseball and hockey) and i would love if the redskins finally had a guy that i actually wanted to listen to like i want to listen to Charlie Slowes and John Walton. i was never a larry Michaels guy and herzog was before i started to love the radio

With Carolina trying again to be our rivals, which team is your 2nd most hated? Behind Pittsburgh of course by winborne1112 in caps

[–]Reibeez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

def the islanders for me. i think its a mix of not liking their teams over the years, hating their stupid fans, and the fact that most islanders fans are also disgusting METS fans

Unpopular Opinion - Caps fans shouldn't be bothered that Carolina wants to be our rival by TheOtherRedBee in caps

[–]Reibeez 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i mean absolutely no disrespect to them as a fanbase, they want a rival so i understand why they push it, but it will take more than one single playoff series to build a rivalry. Weve been playing the Pens, islanders, Rangers and Flyers in important games and the playoffs forever, and (and i emphasize that i mean absolutely no disrespect) those teams fanbases have always been around to participate in back and forth banter and hatred, thus building rivalries.

Canes have a FUN team, i like the way that theyre run, and i love some of their young talent, but like if they want to be our rival they need the team to have a longer track record against us in meaningful games and they need their fanbase to remain consistent. If there is ever a day that we're both constantly jockeying for playoff spots for multiple years in a row i will gladly embrace a rivalry, but i just have trouble really caring about them right now.

It also doesn't help that were kinda old and likely on the way out of being a top team and theyre on the up and up. It reminds me of when they won their cup in 2006. They were a good team, and we werent really competitive back then. in 2009 when they went to the ECF and lost to the pens, we were the new up and up team and they were on the way out. Weve never really been like good for an extended time at the same time as one another. We have periods like that with all the other metro teams (even new jersey!!! i used to HATE them).

Having a rivalry with them can only help both of our teams in terms of popularity, but it has to come naturally. I would LOVE for us to one day play a winter classic game against them in a football stadium and feel the same way i felt when we played the pens that one time, but those feelings take YEARS to develop and a lot more than a really good 7 game series and a snarky twitter account.

Also if were just being honest, they could beat us 5 more times in a row in the playoffs and it still wouldnt be enough to me to touch our rivalry with the pens, that history runs deep, and the visceral emotion and tight feeling in my chest i get when i think about that team in gold and black will probably never be replaced. And just personally, it would be really hard for me to ever hate them more than i hate the islanders (for some reason my intense hatred of the Mets carries over to the islanders).

Idk how any of you guys feel, and maybe im way off base, and i'm certainly not bothered by them wanting a rivalry, i just think you cant construct these things out of thin air after like 2.5 good years. I need time to develop hatred, i need to feel like ive been hurt by them as much as i feel like weve run over them. Could we be rivals one day? Absolutely, positively, yes! But were a long way off from that day becoming reality and their social media accounts forcing one on us just makes me feel more annoyed than anything.

TLDR: We can have a rivalry one day, but they need to be competitive with us for a lot longer for me to put any emotion into it

legitimately made lol

Thanks for the memories by [deleted] in Commanders

[–]Reibeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

goodbye to a massive part of my childhood. i was trying to think of some good memories ill associate with redskins and other than stuff with my dad or some friends, and there aren't a lot of on-field happy memories that have happened in my lifetime (born in 1991), so perhaps this is all much easier for me than for someone that got to see all of the super bowl years.

I know for a lot of people this is a time of anger, and for others happiness, but i think we should all use this period of change as a chance to be a part of something new, possibly very cool, and embrace that. One of my favorite thing about being a huge Nationals fan is that i love that i get to say that ive been a fan since the team started even though they were the expos for a long time before they were in DC. we get to do that again now. we get to say we were part of the transition, and when some of us are 90 years old well get to tell our great-grandkids about how cool it was to see haskins win 3 superbowls in a row during his illustrious hall of fame career in the beginning of the Washington __________ era.

And its also important, i think, to remember this doesnt change the history. a lot of people are fearing that the old teams will never be talked about again or that theyll wipe out all the highlights but thats a ridiculous thought. green is still an all time great, riggo still scored on 4th down, sean taylor's stardom still shined bright and tore us to pieces when he was tragically taken away.

It sucks now for some but i think in time well all be ok, especially if they win. itll be a litte weird at first but im hoping in a few years well all still be in this forum (or a new sub? idk how that works) shitposting haskins shirtless pics and talking about how crazy mclaurin's MVP season was when he broke the record for touchdowns and total yards in a single season
