2022-23 NHL Season

They lost him for nothing this week instead.

So, the response from Tampa after Cooper's benching....was that they just got absolutely annihalated by the Canes; they lost 6-0 and got outshot 38-14.

So this triggered a few hockey fans.

I wonder why a host of the most watched show of one of the NHL's TV networks openly burying the sport would "trigger" () its fans?

NHL: wHy cAn'T wE gRoW tHe gAmE?

 

Also NHL: *allows ESPN to put two marquee games starring the best player in the league on a streaming service most people probably don't have*

The SJ-Avs game summed up in a gif;

Watched my first hockey game in a couple weeks last night. When did Bally start doing the puck tracker and player labels on power plays? And why only on power plays? I was surprised by how much I didn't hate the puck tail, but the player labels that pop up the instant a player touches the puck were very annoying and unnecessary. I remember the FoxTrax and glow puck being too much 90's, but the little black tail on the puck wasn't bad.

Interesting.  I watch most of the Lightning games on Bally Sports Sun and I haven't seen a puck tracker.  Occasionally they'll add the player labels, but its very infrequent.  Maybe every Bally network can adapt and incorporate these features to their discretion?

ESPN's used the player tracker quite a bit on power plays this season. Guess it's related to the player tracking and the RSNs have a hold of the info too

[TrueYankee26]

The day after they smacked the Penguins 6-0 on National TV, The Rangers lead 7-0 over the Predators in the 2nd period!! Can they get 10??

[The_Admiral]

I don't know, can the Rags make one-sided trades for individual goals?

For Kings games they started it on Thursday night and hopefully it dies like their parent company. In replays it's fine, during live play, it's distracting. They're treating us like idiots with the puck tracker.

Saturdays, there's often a hockey game on in the break room...and I thought "man, seems like these games always involve either the Bruins or Penguins."

Cue skating penguin at center ice...and when I was close enough to get a good look...the spoked B on the top portion of the scorebug.

THE REAL NEW YORK ISLANDERS EXPERIENCE

 

>do almost nothing in free agency

>predicted to finish near bottom of the metro by media

>rattle off a huge win/point streak early in the season

>have one of the best records in hockey in november/december

>falter somewhat in second half [YOU ARE HERE]

>finish 3rd in the metro at best

>win one or two playoff series as an underdog

>lose to sun belt team with annoying fanbase

Yay. It'll be nice to see the Kraken in the playoffs.

 

Meanwhile, Boston now has 62 wins on the season, tying the record for most wins. They're also three points away from tying the 76-77 Canadians for the most points earned in a season.

 

If they go at least 1-0-2, they'll break the record for points AND wins.

So based on how things went for Detroit & Tampa I guess we can expect a disappointing loss for the Bruins in this year's playoffs, followed by them winning the next 2 Cups.

[maz]

And facing them is exactly why I'm not all that disappointed in the Pens likely missing the playoffs. It's almost better than what could very well be a repeat of the 2013 Eastern Conference Final. I mean, if you can't even beat the Chicago Blackhawks...

 

And while it does feel weird to likely miss the playoffs for the first time since I was in the 7th grade, the past few years' first round exits haven't felt all that different, especially the sweep by the Islanders a few years ago, or losing a best of five to a 12th-seed Canadiens. In fact, wasn't the first round in the 2020 bubble technically not considered playoffs? If so, the loss to Montreal in that tournament already ended the playoff streak three years ago.

 

Ehh, whatever, it's been a good run. Can't be mad at all. Just feels weird to be a kid when a run starts and about to turn 30 when it enda. I don't wanna be part of the "Fire the GM!!1!!1" mob, but maybe...
