William Hill is my preferred book. Hope they make a bigger presence over here. Betting on Vegas teams in Vegas will take time for USA ppl to get used to.
I was hoping they'd drop some games early so tickets would drop in price for when I'm there in a few weeks. I think that'd be a fun place to go for a long weekend to catch a game - much better than driving to Dallas for me.
It makes less sense for the Avs. After the ROR trade completely flopped they can't come away with a pending UFA and a prospect, especially after waiting this long. For the Sens, if they're not looking to pay Turris they would just be in the same exact position next year with Duchene when he has a year left.
Haven’t heard. Hope not. Duchene is a good player but damn Turris is a solid individual and the better C. I’ll dig.
Doesn’t make sense to do this trade. But with Melnyk running things who knows why things happen the way they do. Col may be talking to Turris agent to set parameters of a deal. Apparently the money has been agreed upon it’s just the term.
Went to my first NHL game tonight. The aforementioned Kings-Flames game. That was fun as shit. I can get into this sport. Considering I don't have a home team, I think I'm gonna adopt Vegas this year.
Glad you enjoyed. I'm secretly really rooting for Vegas as well, what a cool city/mascot/story to root for. They have a lot of likeable players as well
Hockey is a sport that unless you’ve played, you don’t appreciate until you see it in person. Welcome
Really grinds my gears when players of any sport (mostly goalies) use any diplomatic immunity of their position, to get away with shit other guys would be popped in the mouth for. I don't even get why it bothers me so much.
Hornqvist sort of starts a fight, instead the refs give the penalty to a play that happened 10 seconds earlier and didn't blow a whistle on. I hate NHL refs.
Interested to see the point production of Ehlers/Laine this year for the jets, now that Ehlers is the beneficiary of playing next to Scheifele and Laine isn't. As well as he is thought of, I think Scheifele is actually underrated.
Seems like everyone is getting to watch exciting games tonight, meanwhile I am watching the Wings/Coyotes snoozer.
btw speaking of scheifele, cool article from him on the players tribune. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/mark-scheifele-top-5-nhl/ I really liked his comment about how playing on team NA in the world cup was the most fun he's ever had playing. That team was sure fun as hell to watch.
Followed up last night's Kings game with a Clips game tonight. I know it's only preseason, but holy shit everything about the Kings game annihilated the basketball game (minus the ticket prices). I'm fully in. Indoctrinate me. Go Knights
Mike Green already as 8 assists this season. The Wings D has not been good this season but Howard has been bailing us out. I expect this entire thing to implode at some point, so I hope Green can keep this up. There might not be a better rental available at the TDL if so.
After watching fsu football lay the egg of all eggs to start the year I needed all of these lightning games BAD. I have friends who pay the equivalent of 8-10 lightning games to go to a Bucs Game at 1pm in 100+ degree weather. I am team hockey all the way.
Have Murray in the pool. The longer Niemi is around, the more likely Murray gets 65+ games. Won’t allow it.
He's cheap, won a Stanley cup and he's super cheap. My hockey knowledge pales in comparison to everyone else's in here, but id rather just roll the dice with Jarry.
