  1. Detroit spent YEARS waiting to get back into an eastern time zone division. They aren't going back to the central without a significant fight.
  2. ESPN (so take it with a large grain of salt) is throwing around Salt Lake City as a potential option for relocation, only going as far to say "Jazz owner Ryan Smith has met with Bettman within the past year." Now that's an interesting location. Anyone know if hockey has any type of following in the Beehive State?
  3. Doesn't seem like it, does it? And what's up with Draisaitl? He just looks... tired.
  4. Crazy. I just stayed there last week. Would be a little sad to see it go; one of the longest standing strip hotels, but that property is in rough shape. A shame none of the proposed renovations for it came to light. One heck of a location for the ball park though. Mr Top is at Luxor.
  5. There's an orchestral feel to it. The high-five is understandable. Very cool, thanks for sharing.
  6. This is really interesting.. I would love to see what goes all into making those work. I was getting irrationally angry at the SOG count during game 4 because it wasn't updating fast enough for my standards lol. Now I kind of feel bad because someone was probably struggling with something out of their control. There were a few times in Game 7 that the clock was acting funky - especially below 1 minute remaining. It was jumping down in time in weird increments like .4 or .7 seconds at a time, would then go back to 'normal' counting down by .1 second, only to 'skip' again. It was odd.
  7. This is why I don't bet on sports. Anyway, crazy game. Bruins fans don't fret; after Tampa's spectacular meltdown in 2019 they turned around and won back to back cups. So the rest of us have that to look forward too....
  8. Hypothesis: Toronno wins tonight -> Boston wins tomorrow 100%. Leafs lose tonight & Boston wins tomorrow -> Leafs win game 7. Leafs lose tonight & Boston loses tomorrow -> Leafs lose game 7. There's just no way the Leafs end the drought and avoid Boston in the same postseason. Hockey law won't allow it.
  9. Same. Even his exit from GB was better than Favre's. I echo the sentiments of the other Packer fans above. It was an incredible ride, no doubt, but all parties were ready to move on. Bring on the Summer of Love in Titletown
  10. Yup. MLB revenue has skyrocketed with TV deals even as stadium attendance continues to decline. If there are sizable untapped TV markets to exploit, MLB is going to be interested.
  11. Rough game 4 for the Wild. They played well enough to win 5x5 but gave up two PP goals on two phantom penalties. Just a backbreaker of a game. It's 2-2 in the series but feels like 1-3 heading into game 5.
  12. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/36257506/brewers-rookie-garrett-mitchell-miss-rest-season Sad beer noises.
  13. Oh dang, I hadn't seen that it was broken. I still think Carolina are a better team but yeah, that definitely makes things more interesting.
  14. Few takeaways thus far: - It's only been 4 periods but impressed with Winnipeg's play; not your regular season Jets thus far. - Not your regular season Bruins thus fair either... - Toronno opened the release valve, but not all the way - let's see if they carry that pent up energy with them to Tampa. - Rangers are playing like cup winners - Oilers' power play is crazy good. 5x5 is keeping the Kings alive with bad penalties. - Wild are playing better than the scoreline suggests. Majority of Dallas' goals are coming on special teams. I expect the Wild to take both games in St Paul - Carolina has only eked out their two wins; they've got another level left in them. They'll take a step back in game 3 but they'll take game 4 and 5 - Stanley Cup Playoffs, have you met the Seattle Kraken?! Love the statement game 1 win in their debut.
  15. *Makes new thread specifically for Cardinals; immediately discuss 7 non-Cardinal franchises
  16. Not that I know of, I'd be very curious to know. Especially considering their early success and how that impacted local sales from what was 'expected'. It's a unique set of circumstances for that franchise. At some point, the Knights will have a bad season and it will be interesting to see the impact that has on attendance. On the Raiders side of things, it's been voiced about the number of opposing fans in Vegas. But like BBTV said, people plan trips well in advance for football games. Not really a fair comparison.
  17. Not stadium-filling numbers, no. But I'd argue more away fans are drawn to Vegas than say Milwaukee or Cleveland on a Tuesday game. Just saying, their ticket sales to away fans will be higher than most. Revenue is revenue. No one makes a trip to Oakland to see an A's game
  18. This is true. I'm just sayin, best not underestimate Nike's ability to make something horrific and gaudy using the colors they already have
  19. The thing about Vegas is the draw of away-game fans. Is that a sustainable business model? No. But it's definitely a bigger factor there than most other markets.
