Feels a little strange to be New Year's Day and have no hockey today, but it's coming soon enough, I suppose. :hat :hat

They work so hard to limit travel durring covid and yet, two teams will fly out west to play a game. Makes no sense.

I can't remember that for sure, but I will take your word for it.  I am so ready for some hockey.

I said this on another board, but I think this may be because NBC Sports may have something to do with it and think they want to push having an East coast (so-called bigger markets) pair to drive up tv interest.

^^ At least. one of those teams you mentioned have won a championship (now two of them) and have stable management and ownership.  The others, my goodness, I don't know how long can those other two teams last for before moving them has to be the option.

Well, if Florida moves, people in Quebec City probably wants a team there again.  They would boo the tar out of the Avs all day.  If Arizona moves, from what I've been reading random stuff, apparently the next feasible location to try would be Houston?  At this point, from what I've been reading in various forums, the only way teams moves to a new city is if there is an owner willing to light hundreds of millions of dollars on fire owning a NHL team and pay the relocation fee.

Canada dominated the Russians last night. It was so weird watching the latter ... the only have one right-handed shot on the entire lineup!  Wish I’d stayed up to watch the USA-Finland game. What a thrilling 3rd period that looked like.  Should be a good gold medal game tonight.

I haven't been paying any attention to this, and I usually do.

Gold Medal game tonight? I'll have to check it out.

Not take away from the World Juniors talk and how exciting yesterday's game between USA and Finland was and how well Turcotte and Kaliyev (hot dang, it's great that both are Kings prospects) did in those games, and how exciting the Gold Medal game is between US and Canada (I always like a good US/Canada hockey clash in any form in international hockey), but I got to state this.

The NHL has decided to be sponsored by these following companies for branding purposes of the divisions.  I hate it, but the league got to find some way to pump revenue with no fans in the stands.

Arena sponsors are also getting their logo's on the helmets.  Some are unobtrusive; others are tacky.

This was bound to happen eventually. I hope they keep advertising off jerseys, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the NHL eventually takes that step.

As for the WJHC, i haven't watched a single minute, and I'm glad. The tournament has lost its shine for me. Too many lopsided games and shutouts. I would prefer they go to a 6 team format of some kind. That would be a far more competitive tournament, and the 5-6 teams could have to earn their spots in a qualifying tournament. That would give teams like the Swiss, Chzechs and Slovakians a chance at the 2 other spots (most years, anyway).

I think something needs to be done... the difference between the Have's and Have Nots is considerable.  After Can, USA, Russia, Fin, Swe, it's slim pickins.  Germans seem to be improving though.  I mean, the last 11 Gold Medals were split between USA, Can, and Fin (3 each); Russia and Sweden with 1 each (though Russia has a crap ton of Silvers - they just can't win the big game.

This is why I only watch the medal rounds.  No need to watch a 16-2 blowout.

Yeah, that was a hard fought hockey game.  Tough bounce on that 2nd goal, but the US defended the middle of the slot perfectly.  Canada really didn't have too many high quality chances.  Congrats to the US squad.  They were the better team tonight.

Entertaining game last night, felt good to be watching hockey with a rooting interest again :lol I'm curious to see how the Devils' season unfolds. They'd have to have some young guys take a serious leap in order to compete in that Eastern division, but I really like them bringing Corey Crawford in to play alongside Blackwood this season. Goaltending (and specifically backup goaltending) has been a major weakness the past couple seasons, but we should have one of the better starting duos in the league this year. Hopefully that alleviates some pressure on the skaters and helps them grow a bit. I think another season though and we should be ready to hopefully get back to being playoff contenders.
