Sort of a Washington Capitals of the CHL. I hate them because of the 3 times they've managed to not actually choke away the title it's been against the Winter Hawks.)

      Anyway, sorry for those kids and f-ck SC.
      Is Mike Johnston coaching that team?

        Not sure where to put it, maybe complaining about ESPN is better, but I've been really, really enjoying The Athletic and the articles their writers have been pumping out this spring. Subscription site, yes, but I'm glad some of the crazy talented guys laid off by other places found a home there.

          AFAIK, yes. My interest and attention are less than 1% of what they were when I lived there. We washed out of the WHL playoffs despite a good season this year, however I did not listen to even one game all year.

              I think Winnipeg tying the game lit a fire under Vegas' ***.

                Knights are really good at keeping everything to the outside.

                      Go Western Conference!


                      On one hand, I want the Thrashers to do well after the decade plus of struggling. On the other, I really like how Vegas has the right mix of cast-offs from the rest of the league and want them to do well. What a series this has been already, and it's only game three!

                        From what I gather, The Athletic isn't taking just laid off people. They are actively poaching.
                        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                          Oh, that wasn't my point at all. It was simply that I'm glad they have given some of those laid off a place to land. Nothing more than that.

                          The Lightning's former beat writer for the Tampa Bay Times, now with The Athletic, made the move late March I think it was. While his articles were decent with the TBT, I think he's given a much better platform on TA, and has been putting out great feature stories just about every day.

                            TA is aiming to be what ESPN used to be, from my observations and hearing talk on KFAN (sports station here). Good for them, sincerely.

                              Yep, would make sense.

                              Just figured I'd mention it's worth the subscription, IMO. I know, pay walls kinda suck, but I totally understand they need to make a buck, and ads just don't cut it anymore with adblocks so widely used.

                                This should probably go on the ESPN thread as well, but one of the worst things about this year's playoffs is the "coverage" by Greg Wyshinski. For those unaware, he moved from Yahoo to ESPN in the past year. He tweets "stories" throughout the game, which is just clickbait because all he does is describe something that happened in the game. No video, no pictures, just straight 1998 text.
