What was that announcement all about?

Missed it.

 

Nice to see some Amerks on the score sheet.

[Wyldnwoody44]

This one is ugly, officiating is not wonderful either, but WPG may steam roll Vegas

[darksabre]

Winnipeg is hitting Vegas. About time someone did.

If jets can sustain that style of play over the series then they are headed to the finals i reckon

[Rasmus_]

Vegas, baby!

 

And if that can't happen then I'm rooting for Ovi.

 

Meh, here's hoping they lose the next 4 straight.  The Capitals are one of the most top heavy teams in the league.  If Tampa Bay cannot defeat them than it is an injustice.  

[Wyldnwoody44]

Pretty surprised that the Caps are handling Tampa

Caps/Jets is shaping up to be a wonderfully brutal final. Edited May 14, 2018 by SwampD

[Huckleberry]

I hope Ovechkin wins one this year.   But jets winning I don't mind either.

[SwampD]

There is just not enough to say to justify an hour long pregame show.

Didn't realize the Pegs barn only holds 15,300. I can put more bodies in my shed out back.

"...back to Tyler Myers, who fires wide!

 

 

 

...he did that on purpose, by the way."

 

 

Doesn't he always?

[Sabel79]

What I’m the world is Tyler Myers doing there and why is it not a penalty? Dude checked a guy in the face with his fist...

[Wyldnwoody44]

Well Myers did make that one lumbering rush, but I'm glad Vegas won

[SabresBillsFan]

I was a big Myers fan in his first season but let’s face it the guy is soft and for a guy of his skating and size he should have put on some muscle and be a force. Again you can all thank Florida for giving us two great players.

Game 2 not a sellout in Winnipeg:

Is us Vegas?

I believe we are rapidly approaching the "sports bubble". At some point the cost of attending will be too high for the average person and they will go elsewhere. The average person's salary has barely kept up with inflation and in some cases has not. That is less disposable income for sporting events which are now highly priced. At some point paying X for a ticket just becomes too much.

Replace the word "sports" with literally any other noun and you're accurately describing the way the world is heading. Housing, food, water...

I agree that something is likely to give in the coming years.

 

Remember that Delaware North funded "think" project from a few years ago? Among other things, it envisioned fans' participating in spectator sports in virtual ways, etc.

Actually food is cheap (in the US). Housing is not. I read an interesting article about how you actually might not want Amazon in your city because they bring in those 20k high paying jobs and it screws the other 100k working people because they have huge competition for housing.

As with most things, location, location, location. Housing where I'm from is quite cheap, as is housing where I live now. Neither of witch are considered desirable places to live for most people.

Don't worry, someone will figure out a way to let people finance season tickets for 96 months at 0%.

I was kinda hoping to do a predatory lending scheme on season tickets.
