Best part of season tickets to the Ducks this year has been taking my son and nephews to all the perks like meeting the players, skating the ice, visiting the locker room, etc. They’re at that perfect age to be really blown away by it.
I get to play a pickup hockey game at the Honda Center a week from tommorow and there is no age at which I will ever not be blown away by that
NHL.TV sure is disappointing me - I signed up for the year end deal so I could watch the lightning thru the playoffs, and already two away games in a row are blacked out. Why would you blackout an away game??

When it’s in the away teams area. Quite annoying.
Thats stupid, I'm being punished bc they can't sell out even though my team does? Hopefully that at least goes away with the playoffs.

NHL doesn't do sellout blackouts, the blackouts for NHL.tv are for nationally televised games, so NBC, NBCSN, and NHL Network games, or whatever their subscription channel is called
(Edit: the playoffs are blackouts because they are nationally televised, generally. A couple in the first round you can watch)

You know how sometimes NHL teams are frustratingly vague and secretive about player injuries/missed time?

My bad, I've had NHL.tv and the one through the cable company and got things confused. I will say though I prefer being able to pick the broadcast of the game over being forced to listen to the dumb NBC people.
I mostly wanted it since I cut cable, and it should have been a great solution to that problem. Them blacking out any televised game is dumb (though I get why) and basically makes it useless for me since the TBL games are nearly always televised on some channel, and the playoffs certainly are. I'll see if it improves but if not it was a wasted $40 that I won't re-sub next year for sure.
Yeah, if you have a local-ish channel that shows all the Lightning games, you're going to be frustrated by it. We get NESN here in Maine, so I essentially can't watch any Bruins games via NHL.tv (I do have Youtube TV though).
Honestly, the league owned streaming services are going to have local blackouts, so it's really the best option if you live outside your teams local market. It's great for me as a Leafs fan, as practically none of their games get televised down here, except for the odd nationally televised one.

I live 2000 kms from Calgary. I am still considered in Calgary's 'market'. It's super bullshit.

looks like prospects Vitaly Abramov and Jonathan Davidsson going the other way, but no word if it's just them or if there are picks involved
(I hope for Ottawa's sake there are picks involved. Abramov is good, but that's still not enough for Duchene)

Fun fact: Columbus plays the Senators in Ottawa tonight. Assuming Duchene plays. this will be the second time in as many seasons that Duchene has been traded and immediately played against his old team.
edit: confirmed, he is playing tonight. What a world.
I'm not sure how I should feel about Hagelin to the Caps.
Also I'm still not 100% certain the Pens will make the playoffs. Every time I check in on them, they're losing a game, and I can't tell if I should blame the D, the goalie, or the overall gameplay

I’d blame Jim Rutherford at least as much as I’d blame the D. Jack Johnson is exactly the player he’s been for years now, it’s not his fault GMJR decided to offer him one of the worst contracts in the league

We almost went to the game. Ridiculous prices and near certain chance of rain meant we stayed home (and watched Bohemian Rhapsody after the kids went to bed)
(Canucks get Tanner Pearson in return, but that doesn’t matter, even if Pittsburgh got him for “future considerations” that would still be a terrible deal, he and his contract are that bad.)

Talking to TSN, Gudbranson admitted that he wasn't proud of his time on the Canucks.
I'm not sure the original trade worked out for either the Panthers or the Canucks.
I think jettisoning him is addition by subtraction, but his replacement is Luke Schenn called up from the AHL. I'm not sure that's an upgrade.

They are paid programs, and I'm pretty sure MLB could shut them down no problem, if they were illegal?
But I won't mention it by name or link because, it seems shady.
I tried the free trial during the playoffs last year and it worked great, but I normally just go to a bar and watch the games.

my guess is they're going all-in, with Duchene as insurance for next year if Panarin doesn't re-sign
if not, they probably just raised Panarin's trade value by thinning the market for elite forwards available at the deadline
I hope it works out for him there if only because I don’t want him signing with Nashville if he leaves.

They are probably going to trade Stone as well (rumour is to CBJ as well), so yeah, they are looking like they are tanking hard.
edit- Apparently the first tweet got deleted.

Holy hell. That is insane.
This is something the Canucks might have benefitted from the in 90s and 2000s.

Also, Edmonton did nothing at all at he deadline? Really?
