MartinFF7 01/02/20 6:40:54 PM #102:	Strife2 posted... Just heard the Wild get next year's Winter Classic. Thanks for exhausting every other team 50 million times over NHL, but it was long overdue. Columbus is due to be in an outdoor game, and they have the shared expansion history with the Wild, and the advantage of never having been in an outdoor game before. But not really the rivalry factor (or the broader fanbase). Or Columbus will hang on to host their own game at Ohio Stadium I guess... If you stick to teams in the midwest or northeast and knock out Canadian teams and anyone else who's been in an outdoor game in the past few years, you do start to run out of options. Chicago could really happen I guess, lol... <cite>MartinFF7 posted [p:932379836] in NHL Discus...

SmartMuffin 01/02/20 6:49:39 PM #103:	Lockes Ragnarok posted... This years winter classic was amazing. How was it being there smuffin? I mean, it was a cool experience, and I don't regret going. But the venue left a lot to be desired. It turns out that "historic" is also a synonym for "shitty." It was just way too crowded. Concessions and restrooms were unusable because the lines were insane. Usually so long that the end of them wasn't even in sight of the thing they were for, so you had to force your way through an unmoving mass of people constantly asking them what they were in line for to even find the back of the line. I went out with 5 minutes left in the first for food, and by the time the 2nd period was starting, I was only halfway through, so I said fuck it and went back to my seat (and so, didn't eat all day). Even just walking through the concourse was basically impossible. Even though we got there a little early, I couldn't do any of the pre-game stuff because there were just way too many people everywhere. It literally took us 30 minutes from when we entered the stadium just to get to our seats, because it was just a wall of people, mostly not moving. Game was fun though. Our seats were great, pretty high up (just a few rows below the press box) but perfectly centered. Could still see well though. Basically any of the wide views of like the "whole field surface" you saw on NBC was basically the view we had. The section we were in was mostly Preds fans, but they were clearly knowledgeable and into it and were still southerners, so everyone was nice enough. We left with about 5 minutes left in the 3rd fearing the crowds. It was better on the way out than on the way in and we managed to avoid most of the traffic getting out (were super paranoid given that we had a 3.5 hour drive back to Houston and work the next day). Fun story though, once we got out of Dallas we stopped at a Whataburger right along 45. I'm still wearing my jersey, at the counter is some cowboy looking guy, he says "So you guys got out of that whole mess quick enough, huh?" Start chatting with him and it turns out he was part of the hired "entertainment." I guess he's a professional rodeo guy and apparently they paid him $600 to ride the mechanical bull a few times. But he says "I also got this" and whips out a puck... it turns out when he wasn't riding the mechanical bull, he was just kind of hanging out near the edge of the glass, and when a puck flew over and out of play he just grabbed it and nobody bugged him about it. I'd definitely recommend going if it's at a modern venue but the Cotton Bowl just wasn't able to handle this. I have no idea how they do OU/Texas there every year... it really did put a bit of a damper on the experience. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:932380170] in NHL Discus...

SmartMuffin 01/04/20 1:50:59 PM #110:	Man, Draisaitl just delivered one of the most blatant and intentional elbows to the head I've ever seen. But of course, since Krug just got back up and kept playing, it was only a minor. I know it's not honorable, but if I were a coach in this league, I'd tell all my guys "If you get hit in the head, go down and stay down" because the refs have proven time and time again that is the only difference between a major and minor penalty. If the league has any guts at all, they'll give him at least 3 games for this. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:932454466] in NHL Discus...

My current starting lineup is Seguin, Landeskog, Perron, Killorn, Teravinen, and Svechnikov. By the Average Stats ranking on Yahoo's default scoring, the only person on that list he's higher than is Landeskog (who underachieved a lot early on but has been better since coming back from injury).

MartinFF7 01/08/20 7:25:53 PM #141:	If I was in Vegas I'd bet the 'over' on any game Holtby starts, since you know he's good to let in at least 3 and the Washington offence is consistently robust. The question is whether he stops there or goes the 4+ route. Well... let's see if I would've theoretically made or lost money tonight, I guess, the O/U for Caps/Flyers is 6.5, I like my chances. (Jets/Leafs also 6.5... kind of in a similar boat there!) <cite>MartinFF7 posted [p:932651005] in NHL Discus...

MartinFF7 01/08/20 10:30:06 PM #144:	It was the 2nd of a back-to-back for both teams so was expecting that sloppiness, but to translate into goals too... Can Samsonov take over? Is there any hope there? Surely the Capitals aren't going to re-sign Holtby anyways, could they even fit both him and Backstrom into the cap? <cite>MartinFF7 posted [p:932658661] in NHL Discus...

SmartMuffin 01/09/20 5:59:11 PM #145:	Holtby has been like this for several years tho. Middling stats but got it together when it really mattered in the playoffs (well, once he did that, at least). My guess is the Caps are poised to become the next Blackhawks. Going to reward their cup winners for past performance and probably lock themselves into some really unfavorable contracts. It's a shame, but what can you do? --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ <cite>SmartMuffin posted [p:932695758] in NHL Discus...
