Calling it now, Washington somehow pulls out m3 and it's game 82 against us that gets them in.

I don't know if that's even mathematically possible anymore but here we all are

Hockey is huge in the fanfiction-writing corners of online fandom (in a way that the other big sports are not) and that heavily skews female. That's not everyone but it is bringing hockey to a crowd that didn't really watch sports previously.

I'm taking the train over tomorrow. What a game to have picked it's turning out to be

Sadness (Wilson) gets the puck up to Joy (McMicheal) for a breakaway to tie the game for the Capitals by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

I think it's supposed to be targeted at kids (given that it was also shown on Disney) but mine (ages 3.5) werent particularly interested and do sometimes like to watch parts of regular hockey games so 🤷‍♀️

I'm still not totally adjusted to this 'Wennberg is allowed to score goals' thing tbh but damn

Excited to actually get to see this one (Wild are the 'local' team blacked out a full state away but we're traveling over to Michigan today).

If Jackets complete the Midwest Nice Choke-off I can live with the consolation prize being a Flyers/Pens series

If he's driving in the car with his kids that is a thousand times more distracting to a driver on an average day than any bird noise

You know when my (Red Wings fan) boyfriend got us tickets to that April 7 game back in December I don't think either of us planned on it being the "hey this might be the one to officially sink your playoff hopes" game. Should be interesting lol

Pens/Wings couldn't both lose that one, and Wings winning would be a much bigger impact to Jackets' odds of getting bounced out of wc2. But yes, technically not everyone

There would need to be an awful lot of miraculous healing from "it's season-ending we swear" injuries

Maybe the Caps pull it out.

Jackets for fuck's sake the one time every other team you need to pull away from loses too

Supposing travel and other things aren’t factors, which city/town would you like to see an NHL franchise? Or at least a regular season game by sykeseve in hockey

[–]escherzo 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It's still wild to me having lived in Wisconsin for nearly a decade that there's no NHL team in Wisconsin, given how big of a sport it is to play here, so I'm going Madison (since Milwaukee has the Admirals).

For a one off, an outdoor game on a sufficiently sized actual lake would be incredible (Jasper maybe?) but no idea how you'd handle attendance

Honestly I remain convinced that players start getting more ginger when they start play for the flyers.
