NHL Thread

I'm trying to purchase a 10-game ticket package (which can't be purchased online). I've been on hold for going on two hours, and the guy telling me to remain on hold is speaking only in french despite me getting there via english menus. Literally everything about the Ottawa Senators organization is littered with failure.

 

That's some patience you have there. Two whole hours on hold while the representative is speaking to you in French? Damn I'd have started hollering out profanities in Swedish.

I gave up after two hours. It was one of those automated messages that comes up every 30 seconds or so. I had selected English as my language of choice, and it still came up in French every time.

 

I'm on HF now and another guy has been trying for 5-6 days to buy season tickets and has no idea how to contact someone. This franchise is a f***ing joke. It reminds me of the Naimoli-era Rays. I'm literally trying to spend over $1k on tickets and can't do it.

I know it's pre-season and all, but Auston Matthews is unreal <3

Tell them about it on their twitter feed. That'll get their attention if it gets retweeted enough.

I saw on Twitter that the tolerant people are berating Sydney Crosby simply for agreeing to visit the White House because racism or something.

 

Jesus Christ, when will the madness end? I'm also seeing that a ton of players across all sports have decided to kneel during the US anthem for some reason. It's pretty amusing how first world conditioned these people are to think that they are actually being oppressed. If they went literally anywhere else on Earth they would be more oppressed than they are in the States.

 

They can protest if they want to, I suppose, but it's pretty f***ing retarded imo.

I don't want politics anywhere near my sports. Which is why i don't want baseball to get into it. I was pissed to here AM and Wheeler talking about it. I just want to watch Laine Score 50 and not even worry about politics.

 

I love the NFL but refused to turn it on this week because i knew thats all they would talk about and it would just piss me off. The 2 worlds should have zero correlation.

Couldn't agree with you more. I actually like that Crosby didn't turn it into a thing, but of course the outrage brigade is always out in full force.

 

I don't want to hear athletes talk, I don't want to see them being political and I certainly don't want to see a bunch of insanely privileged morons making a point disrespecting the country that allows them to live their extravagant lifestyles. I don't care about American patriotism or anything, I just hate seeing mass ignorance. You think you're oppressed? Go move to Saudi Arabia and try this same s***. let us know how that turns out. f***ing buffoons.

 

It's just so cringy.

Couldn't agree with you more. My wife asked me yesterday what i thought of the NFL players and my exact words..... I don't f***ing care.... Get the f*** up and score me a Touchdown. Then i turn to hockey because sure as s*** none of this is going to happen here but sure as s*** Matthews and Wheeler both have to f***ing chime in with their opinions. Your both great hockey players go play hockey.

 

Seems like the only sports i can watch anymore with out this s*** is Wheat Kings hockey and Curling (yes i like curling f*** off).

 

I hardly watched any football Sunday just so i didn't have to hear any of that drizzle.

Ty Lewis is going to break your heart when they play.... s***... they don't play any American teams.

 

Was a hell of an opener tho eh! Did you go?

[Sammy225]

Ya i don't miss many games, Season tickets are 400 bucks in my eyes thats cheap entertainment and take the kid sometimes. Ty Lewis could have one hell of a year along with Stelio. The opener was awesome i am expecting them to battle for the 7-8th spot so never thought they would beat Regina and then they gave them another run Saturday night.

 

They do go down to Everett and Seattle so they do play some american teams i guess.

I don't get the big deal either. First off, Trump, despite being a f***ing moron, has the same rights to free expression that everyone else does. If he wants to say that players should be fired for kneeling... big f***ing deal. The same amendment that the protesters point to to support their protest, is the same amendment that Trump uses on a minute by minute basis.

 

Sure, what he says 99% of the time is stupid, not thought out, simplistic and moronic and he should definitely be spending his time trying to figure out what his job as President should actually entail, but this outrage is just getting boring.

The Bruins waived M. Subban?! Wow!!

He's most certainly going to get claimed, surprising move!

Me neither. Turns 24 in December and has put up pretty good numbers in the AHL.

Jaromir Jagr is incredible. The fact that he's still going as a 45 year old is amazing, but consider this: Jagr could play this season and next, a full 82 games in both seasons, not score a single point in either season, and still have over a point-per-game for his career.

 

WHAT

[BTS]

I'm hoping he has enough left in the tank to play this year and next. He's 86 points from 2,000. That would be incredible given that he lost 1.5 seasons to lockouts and played another 3 seasons in the KHL in his prime.

Why did he play those 3 years in the KHL anyway?

Probably another 200 points if he skipped those KHL seasons.

Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney didn't want to lose Malcolm Subban on waivers.

 

The Bruins placed Subban on waivers on Monday, and he was claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights earlier today. "I had my fingers crossed that it wasn't gonna happen," said Sweeney. "But that's part of the business, and we wish Malcolm obviously success in the opportunity that he's going to get. But it's a loss for us." Subban, 23, was drafted in the first round, 24th overall, in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. He had 2.41 goals-against-average and a .917 save percentage in the AHL last season. Oct 3 - 9:34 PM

lol... what part of business, 23 year old goalie lost for nothing? Sweeney's a dumbass.

 

Really like that trade today for the Nucks, Pouliot's going to be a stud.

 

Geez... fell asleep when the Yanks were up 7-4... missed that Eichel signed 8/80 max contract and supposed to be named Captain shortly, Matthews contract has just been set.
