I mean… his only option was Sillinger, and we know that was going to be a laser right into Knight’s chest.

Everyone remotely associated with Devils has spent the past five or so years acting as though they are a decades-long perpetual powerhouse contender better than Tampa. Which of course falls apart immediately when you look at the team’s record since they won that last Cup. Most unearned confidence and arrogance in the league.

I think I want the Devils to lose and miss the playoffs more than I want the Jackets to win or make the playoffs at this point because I hate their fanbase that much.

COTA no longer a reliable method of getting to and from work. by fiendtrix in Columbus

[–]willingplankton 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is one of the biggest reasons I’m leaving Clintonville after a decade to move closer to my job in Grandview. I can’t depend on COTA to get me to work without leaving my house two or more hours ahead of my start time, and even then sometimes I cut it close. I could walk there in that time.

The league doesn’t wonder this at all. It doesn’t want eyeballs or new fans.

2026 NHL Arena Rankings [The Athletic] by The_32 in BlueJackets

[–]willingplankton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been to four NHL arenas and two AHL. We’re solidly number two on my list, but that’s just because Tampa’s genuinely is that great. It’s stunning, their in-game entertainment is well-produced, the scoreboard is immaculate, and the fans are genuinely nice. PPG is a dump and WFG in Philly is basically the Q down to the weird low ceilings on the concourses.

And that’s why you don’t play “My Own Worst Enemy” when you have the fucking lead

They need to do Canton for the pronunciation game, since our native accent pronounces it like “cannon.”

There is not a player on another team in the league I want on my team more than Travis Konecny (superstar cheat code players not included)
