  1. As long as SJ doesn’t get one to close the period I still think we win this
  2. Wow what a save. Worth staying up for
  3. That was an embarrassing stretch of hockey
  4. Looks like the Sharks are gonna grab another one soon if things don’t change quick
  5. Has anyone actually had or seen a Ryse Energy before?
  6. Nice shot! Krebs has had a couple snipes now.
  7. I’ve never thought of Stamkos as that fast. Maybe that’s a me issue.
  8. Ehhhh they were coming out a lockout and an owner being thrown in jail. There were more than a few organizational demons courtesy of management.
  9. Want to expand on my last post a bit. A number of things, including the new CHL rules, will impact hockey in the US over the next decade. Just as a matter of fact, hockey in the US should continue to get better, because that’s what happens with sports in general. Outside of that, I think with all of the court cases we’ve seen regarding the NCAA, I think we’re going to see a weakening of Title IX in some respects, mainly the rules regarding equal numbers of sports and scholarships. This should have an impact in a couple of ways. One, we’ll see new programs in places that aren’t considered hockey hot beds (think of Arizonas program or what they’re working on down at Bama). More teams will lead to more rinks which will lead to more youth programs, particularly programs similar to the Jr. Purple Eagles who operate a hockey league as well as travel teams. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t more money coming in to broadcasts from Canada as well. A larger TV contract due to a larger international audience could impact youth participation as well. I think at the high levels, what @Taro T and @JoeSchmoe are talking about might hold true. I don’t necessarily think the USHL will grow and improve, but hockey in the States should see an uptick in participation, which could in turn give a boost to the USHL. It could also strengthen the NAHL. I think there’s a lot of kids/young adults/parents who want to see their kid having fun playing hockey for as long as possible at the highest level possible. We will likely see a shift in demographics over the next few years with Canadians coming down, but USA Hockey has taken too many strides to not have a plan in place to capitalize on better hockey coming below the border.
  10. This very well might be the case, I’m just of the opinion that hockey in the US will be better in the long run from this. Good insight on youth hockey as well.
  11. I think there’s going to be a reshuffling and decline, but in ten years time the US will have a stronger junior program than it does now.
  12. Sabres improve to 8-1 when I don’t watch. I’ll start sitting out games for $10
  13. Psychedelics save lives. If there’s anyone struggling in life, PM me and I’ll send you resources (no, not drugs) to learn more. Twitter won’t let me read the rest of the post. Any chance someone can transcribe it?
  14. This is almost certainly a win with my bedtime. Get these next two (convincingly) and everyone will be on the hype train.
  15. Sabres improve to 7-1 when I don’t watch. You’re welcome.
  16. Pretty sure it was bomb cyclones that got Zach Bogosian in trouble
  17. I’ll have you know I had to sign into my gmail account to give Terry a ***** score so I did my part
  18. Josh Allen is incredible. Best Bills player of all time
  19. When I first saw that I thought “Is Michael Bunting a big move?” My next thought was “if you have to ask, it’s not.” I landed on this 100% being the move.
  20. Don’t they have their mentors at this game? Shouldn’t they be playing with a little pride?
