  1. Whoever owns the arena gets to make the rules. Why the hell would ASU let the Coyotes take priority?
  2. That's pretty standard for any tenant renting an arena. And I'd imagine that some of these NHL teams that share buildings/ownership with NBA teams are not the priority tenant as well. I believe the reason the NHL waited so long to release the second round schedule was because they had to see if both Dallas teams would be moving on and plan accordingly based on the NBA schedule. Even with them waiting until the last second, they still messed up the second round schedule for Tampa/Florida because of a damn Kane Brown concert.
  3. As long as they continue to wear these navy jerseys, McDavid and the Oilers deserve nothing but fire and ruin. Why Edmonton has ran it back 3 times with Mike Smith as their goalie is beyond me. The dude is useless in the net.
  4. The Penguins have Bold Penguin as their helmet sponsor for the home uniform. PPG is only for road games.
  5. Having had quite a bit of interaction with Russell Wilson when I lived in Seattle, the dude has the personality of a wood plank. It doesn't shock me at all that he has very little on-camera exposure outside of football.
  6. There's a CCM logo on the helmet as well, and you can barely make out the 2 C's in this photo. Thank god he's not wearing CCM gloves as well.
  7. To dig your heels into the ground and deny any problems after 22 people tell you that you've done something wrong is some incredible denial. Stuff like this always reminds me of a quote from the fantastic movie Luck Number Slevin.
  8. Oh yeah. Like any other contract, you agree in principle to a deal but then once the actual details are put on paper people find stuff they can't accept. The problem here is that media, especially sports media, is full of people who care more about being first than being right. So they jump the gun and report the "agree in principle" as if it's a signed contract.
  9. I just created one. https://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2022/en/group?groupID=4856555 If that link doesn't work just search the group name "CCSLC Brackets" It's open to the public, so everyone can join!
  10. His salary cap hit won't be the full $28M. I'm not sure the exact number, but I believe his cap hit is somewhere around the $15M mark.
  11. That’s not my viewpoint. Honestly, I don’t care for the jersey either.
  12. Attention and effort have nothing to do with it. These teams and designers are putting more effort and attention into these jerseys than you can imagine, because there is literally a million dollars riding on these decisions. I think what your real question is, “Why don’t these teams and Adidas make jersey designs that I personally like?” And the answer to that is two fold, 1. The retro simplistic trend is what sells to the average joe right now. And 2. Nobody cares what you think because you have terrible taste.
  13. Going to a different team through Free Agency isn't "bailing" on a team and leaving them in shambles. That team had plenty of time to either re-sign the player or plan for life after the player left. I agree with all your other points, though.
  14. Like @dont care said, it's just a super condensed version. There's a couple teams that do it, the Broncos being one as well.
  15. It's not a limitation if it's a conscious choice. I found it a refreshing change of pace that a 90s team treated the equipment as just equipment. Not everything needs to be jammed with design elements. But, the bigger issue this caused is now the color balance is all off. Those blue and red shades should never touch, and the new numbers look awful because of that. It wasn't an A+ uniform to begin with, but all these small changes have killed this look.
  16. I've said it before, and I will say it again; If you think the Avs look better without black
  17. Eh. While I agree this is a publicity stunt, I honestly don't care what/who a team wants to put into their own "ring of honor." It's more or less an Employee of the Month award. Want to put in a kid with cancer that spent a lot of time with the team? Sure. Want to put in your mascot? Sure. Want to put in the owner's dog? Why not? I think people put way too much emphasis on hall of fames and even more unnecessary emphasis on team's individual ring of whatevers. Anybody spending substantial time arguing against "honoring" an athlete should probably find a healthier obsession.
  18. They just got a new owner almost a year ago. They also replaced their CFO a couple months ago. This embarrassing error is probably due to high turnover within their finance department because of the new CFO and a complete lack of organization during the switchover of employees.
  19. I see my Colorado/Mountain design that I did like 10 years ago all over the place. Etsy, a shirt in K-Mart a couple years ago, and there’s even a dispensary in downtown Denver that has a sticker of it on their window. I realize it’s a super common design to do for anything Colorado related, and I have no issue with people doing their own version. What irks me is when people just straight lift mine and use it for their Etsy shop. Especially because they always steal the first draft version and not the updated one. At least use the better looking one.
  20. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for a hockey rink template that includes the boards, like below. Willing to pay for the template if need be. My google searches have come up empty.
  21. I’d really love to see the NHL commit to a 4 division, no conferences alignment. Put Seattle in the Pacific, move Arizona to the Central. And then have the top four teams in each division make the playoffs and face off against their division for the first two rounds. Then when you get to the final four division winners, re-seed based on regular season record.
  22. I guess I'll throw a few of my pieces up here. I started painting two years ago as a way to relax and haven't stopped since. I use oil paint on canvas. I have no training/classes to my name and struggle doing any kind of detail so my style is very abstract and erratic. Basically just shapes and colors. "Underpaid" 48x36 "Self-Titled" 40x30 "Julius Swerving Pt. III" 24x30 "I Wanna Get Killed By The Government" 40x30
  23. What font do the Colorado Rapids use in their logo?
