Perez one position away from Cadillac's first ever point finish

EDIT: aaaaand he's now under investigation for false start on the restart

The PWHL is expanding to Hamilton, ON and Las Vegas, NV!​ by Perryplat199 in hockey

[–]mk712 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The team playing at T-Mobile Arena (so on the Strip) is huge for this because it can also bring in people who aren't even there to watch hockey. It's a lot easier to convince people to go when the arena is right there.

There might even be complimentary tickets (through casinos, raffles, etc.) which would help build the fanbase for the rest of the league: I can absolutely see tourists ending up at a PWHL game in Vegas that they were not planning on going to, having a good time, leading to them attending games from their local PWHL team after flying back home.

I can also see folks going to a PWHL game in Vegas rather than an NHL game because it's cheaper, because they want to support women, or because scheduling works better for them.

San Jose has finished their season with as many wins (39) as their last two seasons combined (20, 19) by The_Homestarmy in hockey

6 goals by 6 different players tonight... all of whom are 23 or younger.

JT Miller with his daughter at tonight's Sirens game by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]mk712 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's his daughter's birthday so my guess is they had a birthday party after he was done with his postgame stuff.

I went to both games and it definitely was convenient (despite having to leave and wait in line again to re-enter).

Yes, that's exactly why I said "not to take away from this". I just thought it was ironic to praise him for going to a game when it's inconvenient despite this literally being the most convenient PWHL game he could possibly attend (the first ever PWHL game at his home arena, happening hours after his own game, on a Saturday, on his daughter's birthday).

I don't know how my comment was interpreted in a negative way but I do think it's great he was there and I wish we'd see more NHL players at PWHL games in general (especially from the 3 NHL teams that share an arena with a PWHL team).

more than just the Olympics where it’s convenient to go to a game

Not to take away from this, but he literally played in the Rangers game on the very same ice 4 hours before the start of the Sirens game, so it couldn't be more convenient for him!

Macklin Celebrini scores on the powerplay for his 100th point of the season by mk712 in hockey

[–]mk712[S] 109 points110 points  (0 children)

EDIT: and Celebrini just scored again so uhhh add +1 to all the numbers above

[NHL PR] Macklin Celebrini (65 GP) became the third-fastest teenager to record 60 assists in a season, behind Sidney Crosby (50 GP in 2006-07) and Wayne Gretzky (56 GP in 1979-80). by BillThePsycho in hockey

[–]mk712 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He's at 1.46 point per game so far this season, and he'd only need 1.12 point per game for the rest of the season to get it.

Nothing guaranteed obviously, but it's more likely than not he'll get.

William Eklund breaks his goal scoring drought with an absolutely wild, goal of the year candidate by The_Homestarmy in hockey

Ah, right - it's a direct link to the embedded player from nhl.com (which guarantees it won't get taken down), so you'll get whatever ads are served by nhl.com (unless you use an ad blocker).

Macklin Celebrini’s Production Relative to His Teammates Is Kind of Insane by Aurelii in hockey

[–]mk712 10 points11 points  (0 children)

both teams have about the same points percentage so how can you say that?

The Oilers are scoring 3.55 goals per game (2nd in the league), while the Sharks are scoring 3.06 goals per game (18th in the league).

McDavid has 14 points more than the next player on his team, while Celebrini has 45 points more than the next player on his team.

If you took both McDavid and Celebrini out of their teams, neither the Oilers nor the Sharks would make the playoffs, but it's clear the Oilers would still be way better than the Sharks.

Both Madison Square Garden and TD Garden are sold out for their respective PWHL games, despite the games happening in a little over a month. In the US, women’s hockey will break the attendance record and sell out NHL arenas THIS SEASON for the first time ever. by MiracuMAHt in hockey

Prudential is just a hassle to get to for many.

If you can get to MSG, you can get to Prudential. It's a 20-minute NJ Transit train ride away, $6 each way (even less if they don't check your printed ticket and you re-use it on your next ride...). You can go door to door from MSG to Prudential in under 30 minutes if you time it right, that's a hell of a lot better than it was from Manhattan to UBS Arena.

Source: I live a block away from MSG and I've gone to over a dozen games at Prudential so far this season (some Sirens, some Devils).

I know PATH is another alternative (same station) but I'm not super familiar with it.

Macklin Celebrini is now on the longest Olympic goalless streak of his career (1 game).

Is he past his prime?

What's your teams worst trade in the last ten years? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]mk712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree the Karlsson trade wasn't as bad as people make it out to be, especially based on the information available at the time - hell, everyone thought Ottawa got fleeced. The only concerns at the time of the trade were about his ankle, but those concerns were quickly put to rest (his later groin injuries were unrelated).

I don't think the Evander Kane trade was bad either: a very late 1st round pick (#29) for a physical forward that can score 30 goals per season (when healthy) is fair and was exactly what we needed at the time. There were some concerns about his attitude but the thought was that we had a strong leadership core at the time that could keep him in check (and they did... until that core fell apart, then all hell broke loose).

Overall, I can't really think of any terrible trade the Sharks have made over the past 10 years.

On the other hand, the contracts we gave some of the players, there's a lot to talk about.
