It looks like Mike Milbury will be subbing in for Edzo on NBCSN.

 

Forget the blackout during the Olympics; this is how NBC is punishing the NHL for not allowing its players to go to PyeongChang.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me.

If the NHL returns, one day, to Hartford, they would use ressurect the "Whalers" name. If the NHL arrives to Houston, as an expansion team if Carolina says NO to a relocation, they would obviously use the "Aeros" name.


The admittedly-silly point I was making was specifically if the Hurricanes moved to Houston, since they'd likely have to change their name anyways, then maybe they could revive the Whalers name and still pull it off. It's from the same franchise, it has a (loose, I admit) connection to the area (FWIW I didn't know whales lived in the Gulf until I looked it up for that), the hidden-H logo would still work for Houston; heck, since Houston was also a major WHA city the "WHAlers" connection would even work!


Obviously they'd likely just take the Aeros name, since it has actual history there. It was just a dumb "what if?" bit of speculation from this wannabe Whalers fan. :P

More on the Wirtzes from the Trib: while most of this is just public relations for the Blackhawks, Chris Kuc was good enough to give us a matching pair of those OITGDNHL nuggets we all know and love so much.

 

Quote

It didn't take long for Wirtz to realize the daunting task that lay ahead: The organization had no infrastructure. On his first day in the office, Wirtz noticed a phone was ringing but no one was around to answer it. He later found out that if someone was calling to inquire about buying tickets, they were transferred to a box office line that wasn't connected.

 

"It would just ring and ring," Wirtz said while shaking his head.

 

 

"while shaking his head" is what really brings it home. People may ask "how could a team like this even exist?", but in the case of the 2003-2007 Blackhawks, well, that's the thing, they kinda didn't.

Deryk "That's Per Year" Engelland had to shave his beard because Vegas has a team policy banning facial hair, not that they'll have to worry about growing any in April for the next decade or so. I think Bill Foley thinks he bought the actual Army, you guys.

D@&# it, Foley. You garnered yourself some goodwill, with those jerseys. Don't use it all before the first puck drops!

They're also going to have SIX alternate captains, three at home and three on the road.

 

The A's are Deryk Engelland, Jason Garrison, Luca Sbisa, Reilly Smith, James Neal, David Perron.

Gary Bettman appeared in my dream last night. No more CCSLC before bed, huh.

At least three of those players have no business holding leadership positions: Engelland might be the worst player in the NHL now that Andrew Desjardins is gone, David Perron is a bitch, and James Neal is an even bigger bitch.

And the Coyotes just brought Zac Rinaldo back into the league! There's probably a loose Sestito floating around somewhere, too.

If you go by point shares, I think Riley Sheahan, of all people, was among the very worst players in the NHL last year in that he was worth -1.2 points in the standings. I don't even know how you do that without being a goon!

Looks like you haven't read up on Phase III of Chaykanalytics, where after you get better by trading for players who technically don't exist, you make your players play smarter by putting them around an irretrievable retard. His presence will challenge players to be so good that their coach, who is not John Chayka and therefore an idiot, has no choice but to relent and play them ahead of the guy with breathing instructions written on his stick. See, this is about Learning By Not Doing, such that you could more accurately call him Zac Rinaldon't. I'm sorry that you can't grasp the advanced hockey geniusness of John Chayka. Meet me in the 21st century.

At least Foley will have a good long time to draft a playoff beard policy.

I don't trust ANYONE talking about heat in sports because it's scientifically impossible. The whole reason we can make screens that big now is because LEDs use less electricity and create less heat. Ever think maybe it was hot because it's October and frickin 80 degrees still?

 

Same thing with people whining about the new Falcons stadium being super hot under those lights. Do they look weird? Yes, LED lights often have different color temperatures and make things look different, one trip to the light bulb aisle at Lowe's will tell you that. But they don't make heat.

Yeah sure maybe the bulbs themselves don't produce any heat, but what about all the components crammed into the giant box behind the screens?

Speaking of LEDs, the Flames ringed their arena decks with "Bill Smith For Mayor" ads last night, and put up a fair bit of Buy Us Shiny New Things propaganda in the concourses. I hope each and every one of these cretins gets kicked in the dick.

 

For you nostalgia buffs, the Coyotes are offering $1 hot dogs, $1 sodas, and $1 beers for their next Saturday evening home game, because how on earth do you convince anybody to go out on a Saturday night these days?
