It's weird to want to go to Arizona for any reason other than to introduce violent invasive species, spit gum out in crosswalks and start fires.

I will have time after the hockey game.

Weird night as both Calgary and Edmonton completely lose games during 25 second lapses. Meanwhile, Vegas gets reamed 0-4 on only 26 shots.
At least there weren't those hateful 3-point games.

[ExtraSlow]

This makes me oddly excited. What the hell is wrong with me? Beyond trip to Tempe in November?

Go watch NBA then. This and last night's game is Atom-B emotional nonsense. I agree that it's funny to see a team you hate get fisted, but not to see games like that twice in 2 days.
This is a bad year for the NHL.

I agree. Last night was mostly bad hockey, and that's not that entertaining.

But as you say, watching the oilers get pounded in the bum bum is funny for its own reasons.

Agree. Its cuz the coilers are still trying. Even with McJesus and Dryalaphabet leading the league, they still blow.

If only they could win 2-3 more lottery picks.

Glad to see the Ducks settling down to where they belong after this recent 0-8-2 run. Again with the streaks.
Dallas and Vegas "battling" for the final playoff spot in the West but it looks like both are in limp mode.
"Ok, we got one spot left and we can do this!!" .500 hockey

[ThePenIsMightier]

Watching Vegas and Seattle. This is the first Seattle game I've seen maybe since the start of the season. They are not good. Like, I think Everett might beat then...

[ThePenIsMightier]

@rage2 please tell me more about the VGK cancelled trade. I somehow only heard about it for the first time last night and I have opinions.
But I want someone to take me off the ledge before I start "getting unhinged".

Are there still CoVid restrictions in California?!? Fuck me, we're looking at about 30% empty in Anaheim for Flames tonight and about the same in San Jose for Edmonton last night. WtF!!??

California games have never been packed. Even during playoffs I was able to buy tickets at list price (San Jose). Hockey is the 3rd choice out there haha. Even those sell out playoff games, surprising amount of no shows.

[ThePenIsMightier]

This Oilers/Avalanche game is very good, while boring, if that makes sense. Nothing but low % shots and very structured, proper hockey. Tied at 0 into the third period (but McLovin just got one). Edmonton out shooting the league #1. This is anyone's game.
It's nice to see a team making Colorado look mortal.

Good to know! I'll try to catch a game there the next chance I have.

Yea, I always catch a game when I'm down there. Stockton games are fun too.

Hockey in Arizona has really paid off and been a sound decision.
Their team is super good and makes money.
I hope they stay forever.

I've said it before that I really want to go next year to that 3200 seat arena. Bet that's a fun atmosphere.

AHL game in San Diego was more fun than most NHL games i've been to.

Putting a team in Arizona is beyond fucked up.

Ha. Most WHL rinks are bigger then that. They'll still have a hard time filling it.
