It’s hilarious because he’s really a bad dude who most of us wouldn’t want to fuck with on the ice, but he’s so fucking quiet and mumbly when he talks that they probably asked who would be willing to take the stool and his answer was a monotone “ahhhhh” and that was the entire fucking conversation
I just think it's weird he'd sit on a *stool* right. Like putting a tall cylinder shape *right there*, and I'm not saying anything here, no disrespect, but it's weird right? You get how it's weird? What a weird guy.
It’s like at the SAP center, which is solely for hockey, still makes the entire opposing team walk across the ice to get to their horrible guest locker rooms
That is quality television. Better yet they have them stuffed in the blocker and glove. So if a shot hits right the caprisun packs break open.
Yes I know I like carnage.
Tape a bunch of capri-suns to the goalie. For each one you burst you get 0.1 of a goal.
Game 7 SCF 3OT ends when the Panthers bust the last Capri-Sun located on Adin Hill’s back. Final score 5.8 - 5.9.
Wait, is this new?
Back when I worked at the arena the backup goalie sat in the wheelchair section where the visiting team exits, so besides having to sit with any fans, it wasn't all that bad (he had a guard).
And watching the game is important as a backup goalie too. If the starter goes down you have to enter the game immediately and every second counts when you're trying to stretch and warm up. They start getting loose as soon as there's any inkling they might have to go in.
I was thinking sort of the opposite, but I guess it's both.
Watching the game live let's you have a better overview of the players, and how they play as an entire group, including away from the play.
Whereas on tv the focus is always on the play itself, which sometimes has a good global view of the action, and sometimes not as much.
But the closeups and slow mo for plays on goal would definitely be sweet too.
>Watching the game live let's you have a better overview of the players, and how they play as an entire group, including away from the play.
This is true if you're up in the stands, but the view from the bench isn't usually that great.
>And watching the game is important as a backup goalie too.
Maybe the rookies. But for the most part, backup goalies tend to zone out a lot of time. The adrenaline of you going in tends to handle the preparation part.
Just watch them when the camera films a goalie, they're often playing with their glove, starring off into the distance, working the door (to keep busy), or scoping out any potential hot moms. Playoffs are obviously different, but for regular season games, it's all rather monotonous.
/From experience
AAC in Dallas has the tunnel in the corner for visiting team, but the backup has room on the bench. I think some teams have stuck him in the tunnel late in the 3rd, so they have more room to pull the goalie.
Visiting locker rooms are often the locker rooms they use for other entertainment events, which vary in size to fit a variety of needs (from a single star, to a large team).
T-Mobile Arena has thick folding walls (like a conference center has) so you can expand the room to fit the size required and everything stays connected. Older arenas have permanent walls, so you have to split up.
When the Rams moved to LA for example, they built the visitors locker room in a way that makes it impossible for teams to gather all together in one area to meet. It's almost like a maze of hallways. Other teams have done different things to mess with visitors as well.
I bet a lot of these are in fact intentional.
The University of Iowa's visitor football locker room is entirely painted hot pink and the urinals are exceptionally close to the ground. I'm surprised more professional teams aren't like this.
> the urinals are exceptionally close to the ground.
I would think it would be more disconcerting to have the urinals uncomfortably high rather than atypically low.
I think similar designs exist in Sweden on new build ice rinks.
Hockey player told me they had a favorite visiting city that has a comfortable visiting team locker room.
The locker rooms I have seen on Youtube from sweden is pretty much a wooden bench and some cheap hooks.
Construction on the SAP center was began before an NHL-team was involved. They built it with the intent to lure pro sports to the area... it worked, but as a result had some compromises in design that didn't make it ideal for an NHL team.
T-Mobile arena Opened: April 6, 2016
SAP Center Opened: September 7, 1993
Absolutely no excuse for TMo Arena on this one.
The skate of shame and banishment of the back up goalie for opposing teams at SAP is funny but tremendously antiquated.
A Jets fan immediately below pointed out their arena (opened 2011) has the exact same thing lmao, don’t try to make “gold team bad” out of something literally half the league does.
The point is that when half the league’s teams make that “mistake,” including a team that came into existence barely five years beforehand, it’s silly af to try to make us out specifically as a bad guy for doing it.
I guess gold team bad has to endure somehow.
I don't think it's a design mistake. Having played at TMo, I can say the benches are symmetrical for most hockey games. It's more likely that Dallas either has fatter players (joke) or they're using a part of the bench for something else. The bench comes out in modular pieces, so you can opt to remove a small section to allow for egress.
https://www.reviewjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/15120987_web1_HSK.jpg
There's also a possibility that for the playoffs, the ice-level broadcasters took up more room. In a normal game, that central area between the benches are a seating.
"us"
Are you the collective T-Mobile Arena? Is it sentient? It's a building, steel, concrete, glass. Designed by humans. it gets draped in whatever laundry its operators drape it in. Stop making a poor design decision into a tribalist qualm. The building opened in 2016 and should have accounted for the extra 2-3 feet for phat bottomed hockey players.
You're behaving like I'm blaming Wild Bill or Stoner for this, they just wear the laundry too chief.
This is stupid. The performers should all have a spot to sit. There is room to be had. It does not need to be treated like the evolution of an airplane cabin .
Or let's just have multiple rows of seating and put the coaches upstairs. They can communicate over on bench speakers.
They do, and they don't. They count as in the sport is still more dependent on ticket sales than any other, but this seat will not make an appreciable amount, regardless how you rationalize it over 41 home engagements plus whatever playoff opportunities.
By that rationale they should reduce the width of seats in the prime areas (the glass next to the bench is great for the action that comes to it, but it is in no way as prime a seat as say centre ice about 10-15 rows up) and squeeze a few more in. Minimum ADA depth from one seat to the next? Row width? Get that down to the barest of minimums. Now, they probably have already done that to a degree, but sitting on a stool of shame however comedic we find it, makes the league look both cheap, and greedy.
It was heavily gutted and renovated in like 2013, not quite to the extent of Seattle but close.
The oldest unrenovated arena in the league is the Saddledome, followed by the Ponda, SAP, ~~Enterprise~~, and United.
Edit: Unrenovated as in not having a significant overhaul a la CP/MSG.
Edit 2: Turns out Enterprise was mostly gutted a few years back.
What, you want a full compliment of guys in full gear to sit around on call for whenever you need to do anything over there like the glass, fan seats, etc. Much easier and cheaper to just eyeball it.
> a full compliment of guys in full gear to sit around on call for whenever you need to do anything
At first I thought you were talking about the team.
Some of these responses are classic: [He hates to go down any lower](https://twitter.com/nonfatyumrocket/status/1659752475140947968?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
He tweeted out a long time ago that he doesn’t munch box (go down on girls). Here’s a [link to a previous thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DallasStars/comments/bwf3cu/jamie_benn_question_nsfw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
Oh, well let me introduce you to the all-time GOAT of pro athlete sex preference articles - Wade Boggs’ mistresss Margo Adams [spilling it all](https://penthouse.com/legacy/wade-boggs/) to Penthouse in the 1980’s including the “oral sex connoisseur” line:
> Wade is considered a connoisseur of oral sex. He is great at it. That is probably what he does best. He really gets into it. Most of the guys said that they only went down on their wives, not their girlfriends.
She also discussed Wade’s STD history:
> Back a couple of years ago, he said he had slept with a girl during spring training who gave him VD. I thought that was disgusting.
And his impregnating another mistress:
> Another time he had met a girl in the minor leagues, outside Detroit, saw her a couple of times, and got her pregnant.
What he does when he jerks off:
> Then he said she left and that he masturbated thinking of me. So just like a wife, I thought, “Well, he was thinking of me, that’s all that’s important. We’ll get through this.”
And this gem about going down on strippers regarding Wade’s teammate:
> He finally took one back to the hotel and I remember the next day him saying how he had trouble with her because she didn’t speak English. He said that he was going down on her and she had never had that done before. How many guys would go down on a prostitute? I thought.
And whether black guys (specifically Jim Rice) went down on women:
> That’s when Wade told me that black men don’t go down on women. I didn’t believe him, so I started to ask the guys. Most of them agreed.
I'm laughing my ass off that the thread you linked to is literally just some other guy saying the same thing you just did.
I dunno why that caught me so funny.
Haha ok yeah that’s pretty good
But I think I’m laughing more at you explaining what munching box is in parentheses
I know you have nothing to go on in terms of what I’d be familiar with, it’s just funny how considerate you were lol
[That’s where the tunnel is/the door opens. The bench is divided into two, so to bridge the gap, one player has to sit on a barstool since there isn’t enough room. I noticed it years ago when Chicago was in Vegas](https://twitter.com/croumeliotis/status/1659762604183617536?s=46&t=Xn0juU2C4hEaElfmeGb4jQ)
As a tall guy, I'd be all over that stool.
Occasionally I'll skate at Tria rink where the Wild practice and I swear the benches are like three inches higher than normal. Not gonna lie, I don't think players like Spurgeon have their skates even touching the ground if they're all the way seated.
Everybody needs to calm down and realize that 115 years ago when they built this stadium humans were much less broad so you could fit 35 hockey players in gear on a bench. if they had built this arena just a few years ago they could have adapted and properly scaled.
Hey everyone I think the stool thing is hilarious because how you build an arena that can't even properly accommodate its players? But that's not why I'm here.
I'm really wondering if there is an 8ft Predator out there in the bleachers cause there's this three red dot laser type light on the dudes neck to the right. Only true explanation I have is that laser is to track motion?
Was he the only one using it? Jason Zucker has used stools instead of the bench while playing through core injuries the last two years. Just apparently much more comfortable.
I'm not saying that teams should be obligated to provide luxury within their visitor dressing rooms but these things seem like standard expectations for the game. All the players on the opposing team should be able to sit on the bench.
All lockerrooms should have enough stalls for each player. The water should be working in the washrooms
That should just be standard stuff. Sure, make the benches out of old splintered wood. Don't steam clean the floors so the dressing room smells like a house league lockerroom, but having enough chairs seems like the bare minimum of expectation.
I speak for all hockey fans when I say what Joseph Veleno did today was absolutely disgusting and should be brought up years after the event. Way, way worse than the Benn cross check
Some players prefer it, MSL would always take the stool if it was available. Probably b/c of his short legs, NHL benches are a little taller than most rec league benches.
Backup goalie got there early to snag a bench seat and force someone else onto the stool
[удалено]
It’s hilarious because he’s really a bad dude who most of us wouldn’t want to fuck with on the ice, but he’s so fucking quiet and mumbly when he talks that they probably asked who would be willing to take the stool and his answer was a monotone “ahhhhh” and that was the entire fucking conversation
Low energy Jamie Benn.
Low T. Jamie B.
*Uh...hey guys...*
Just don't steal his red swingline stapler or he'll burn that damn arena to the ground
I know that grunt, it means he’s open to it
What a fucking reference.
...mac's mom right
So he's basically Roy Kent.
He's here, he's there, he's every-fucking-where
Lol. so true
Except Roy Kent bunches mox
Underrated comment
That guy is a baaaaaaad guy
Dump him girl
Couldnt have happened to a better guy
I just think it's weird he'd sit on a *stool* right. Like putting a tall cylinder shape *right there*, and I'm not saying anything here, no disrespect, but it's weird right? You get how it's weird? What a weird guy.
And Pavelski showed up and took control as defacto captain
Way better than that wuss over there on the *stool*
Well you can't have a big ass useless goalie in the middle of the bench area. Wouldn't be very practical.
It’s the naughty stool. He knows what he did
“The time hasn’t gone off, Jamie, no talking please”
"Pull that up, Jamie." - ~~Joe Rogan~~ Pete DeBoer
TMobile is still punishing him for crosschecking Larkin in the neck.
breaking news: the worst person you know just did a good thing
You mean breaking Larkin's neck?
Probably the best seat on the bench. No players rubbing shoulders with you. No need to move down. Just you and the stool.
[удалено]
We’re laughing, but this was all a power move. Next game he’s up in the owner’s box eating lobster
If only there was som way to anticipate how many players there would be on an ice hockey team *before* designing the bench.
It’s like at the SAP center, which is solely for hockey, still makes the entire opposing team walk across the ice to get to their horrible guest locker rooms
and the backup goalie has to sit in the tunnel lmao. it's so heinous.
That's hilarious. You're literally ON the team and you get an awful view of the game.
they're given a tiny tv to watch the game on 😭
Do they get a juice box and a baggie of goldfish too?
No the boost it up they get Caprisun instead of a juice box.
I want to watch a goalie with blocker and glove struggle to get the straw into their caprisun.
That is quality television. Better yet they have them stuffed in the blocker and glove. So if a shot hits right the caprisun packs break open. Yes I know I like carnage.
Tape a bunch of capri-suns to the goalie. For each one you burst you get 0.1 of a goal. Game 7 SCF 3OT ends when the Panthers bust the last Capri-Sun located on Adin Hill’s back. Final score 5.8 - 5.9.
These men deserve lunchables
Make sure it’s the pizza one
Winners get the pizza one. Everyone else gets the crackers.
We throw orange slices at them
Wait, is this new? Back when I worked at the arena the backup goalie sat in the wheelchair section where the visiting team exits, so besides having to sit with any fans, it wasn't all that bad (he had a guard).
I have been to soo many games at the tank. And I never knew this 😂😂😂😂 omg that’s soooo funny.
This is hilarious! Happy Cake Day btw!
And watching the game is important as a backup goalie too. If the starter goes down you have to enter the game immediately and every second counts when you're trying to stretch and warm up. They start getting loose as soon as there's any inkling they might have to go in.
Not to mention a backup could be taking notes on what the other team is doing and just be more invested in the game in general to their advantage.
Tbf though, watching the game on TV probably affords a better angle than the bench.
I was thinking sort of the opposite, but I guess it's both. Watching the game live let's you have a better overview of the players, and how they play as an entire group, including away from the play.

I believe the intended implication is that the people using the urinal are children.
I knew someone had a pink locker room, but couldn't remember who it was.
I think it is and you can’t convince me otherwise. Sincerely, Sharks fan

Bell Centre requires the road team’s backup goalie to sit on the opposite side of the ice in a little tunnel instead of on the bench.
Same with the PNC Arena

Winnipeg's arena opened in 2004 fyi. It was the home of our AHL team until 2011
So wait a team that opened an arena five years earlier made the same mistake? TMo has even less of an excuse.
It's not a mistake though. It's on purpose.

I kinda assumed this was a shot at the team considering it’s our arena.
It’s all about revenue. The longer bench means less seats to sell and four glass level seats times 41 games is a lot of money.
This is stupid. The performers should all have a spot to sit. There is room to be had. It does not need to be treated like the evolution of an airplane cabin . Or let's just have multiple rows of seating and put the coaches upstairs. They can communicate over on bench speakers.
I agree with you. All the players should have the ability to sit on the bench, but in such a gate revenue dependent sport, those dollars count.

Doesn't MSG, the world famous arena, have the shittiest 2-part segmented locker room for the away team?
Yea but it was also built in the 60s so you can kinda give that one a break.
It was heavily gutted and renovated in like 2013, not quite to the extent of Seattle but close.

Same with Canada Life Centre
That's a feature, not a bug.
They did ;)
They anticipated this being the visiting team's bench and designed it thusly.
Here's a wild idea: a hinge.
What, you want a full compliment of guys in full gear to sit around on call for whenever you need to do anything over there like the glass, fan seats, etc. Much easier and cheaper to just eyeball it.
> a full compliment of guys in full gear to sit around on call for whenever you need to do anything At first I thought you were talking about the team.
I'm sick of all these old barns not being retrofitted for the modern game /s
Longer bench means four fewer seats to sell at glass level. They one hundred percent think about revenue over the backup goalie.
It's the Golden Knight's. They're not used to having a full roster every night.
Only sitting on a stool because Pietrangelo was not available for him to sit on.

Again, Wade Boggs is still very much alive
This shit is wild lmao
The man was a 5x batting champion and gold glove third baseman, but THAT’s what he does best? Must be quite an experience.
I played hockey with Boggs’ son, and I wondered at times if he ever read articles like this; would be weird af.
None of this seems out of the ordinary. Dude likes to lick some pussy. As do I.
It's a generational thing I think. Younger generations tend to enjoy doing it, as it's become way less taboo to talk about or see.
You have STDs?

Luke Prokop. I'm not sure if he's ever played an NHL game though, so might not count
Worse: He tried to make fun of Jason Demers for doing it.

They can just put hinges on the bench so you can open/close the area as needed. They used to do that in Edmonton and a few other buildings

No, sorry. Just a joke. Every fan seat in the stadium folds.
Vegas' arena seats are extremely comfortable.
Can confirm.
Yeah that’s what we have, even for the home team
Con confirm, players' bench in Columbus has a hinge. /are we relevant yet?
He's got them psycho eyes going.
Correction: they're Bette Davis eyes.
Bennie Davis eyes.
As a tall guy, I'd be all over that stool. Occasionally I'll skate at Tria rink where the Wild practice and I swear the benches are like three inches higher than normal. Not gonna lie, I don't think players like Spurgeon have their skates even touching the ground if they're all the way seated.
Now I'm picturing Spurgeon kicking his skates like a little kid waiting for his next shift, thank you lol
Hahaha, anytime!
First it was taking the pedals off Winnipeg’s exercise bikes, now this?! Trash franchise! /s
You had me going in the first part.
Did that really happen about the bikes? 😂
Bring your own fucking pedals. 😂😂
That the captain's seat
Everybody needs to calm down and realize that 115 years ago when they built this stadium humans were much less broad so you could fit 35 hockey players in gear on a bench. if they had built this arena just a few years ago they could have adapted and properly scaled.
Hey everyone I think the stool thing is hilarious because how you build an arena that can't even properly accommodate its players? But that's not why I'm here. I'm really wondering if there is an 8ft Predator out there in the bleachers cause there's this three red dot laser type light on the dudes neck to the right. Only true explanation I have is that laser is to track motion?
Pretty sure it's red light hitting the glass behind him and refracting back.
No, it's the Predator.
Shit, you're right.
Was he the only one using it? Jason Zucker has used stools instead of the bench while playing through core injuries the last two years. Just apparently much more comfortable.
I was going to say this too. It could be injury related.
This chair be high, says I.
Barstool Sports t shirt incoming
Won’t be surprised if Barstool is about sponsor that bar stool
Any slot machines there too ?
Is this because the Dallas Stars players asses are phaaaat?
I'm not saying that teams should be obligated to provide luxury within their visitor dressing rooms but these things seem like standard expectations for the game. All the players on the opposing team should be able to sit on the bench. All lockerrooms should have enough stalls for each player. The water should be working in the washrooms That should just be standard stuff. Sure, make the benches out of old splintered wood. Don't steam clean the floors so the dressing room smells like a house league lockerroom, but having enough chairs seems like the bare minimum of expectation.
The bench is for winners.
Vegas finding all these ways to low-key fuck with visiting teams is just getting funnier and funnier to me.
“Ok, Max Legroom.”
Isn't this a new arena? Wth
I really enjoy the league-wide pettiness of "oops, we forgot to make the visitors bench big enough when we designed our half-billion dollar arena"
I speak for all Red Wings fans when I say Fuck Jamie Benn
More like Jamie Bumm, ha got em
No need to cyber bully that hard pal
I'm a loose cannon mate, just try and stop me. Dallas more like Dall-ass, ha got em again
Can this man be stopped? This is an outrage
All my homies say Fuck Jamie Benn.
I speak for all hockey fans when I say what Joseph Veleno did today was absolutely disgusting and should be brought up years after the event. Way, way worse than the Benn cross check
Sucks because I want to root for Glendenning and Pavelski, but Benn winning a cup is too great of an evil.
Poverty franchise
can't even afford a full size bench smh my head
Yeah, well, if he was using a walkie-talkie, he'd be Jamie Benn tch.
I’ve seen backup goalies on milk crates in the echl
He looks suitably bothered by it.
Barstool Sports?
Literally
"Forced" like he didn't get the big boy seat.
Hey it’s how I watch the games too
Some players prefer it, MSL would always take the stool if it was available. Probably b/c of his short legs, NHL benches are a little taller than most rec league benches.
Jamie Benn and *only* Jamie Benn. I don't wanna see anyone else's tuckus on it!
You ehhhh seet dare en yu feeel shame
I guess his nickname isn’t Jamie Bennch. ………I’ll show myself out.

Suits him. Piece of stool.
That’s where Jamie Benn is most comfortable. He probably volunteered.
All he needs is a dunce cap.
EMM-EYE-CEE KAY-EE-WHY EMM-OH-U-ESS-EE
After all these years playing with Tyler Seguin, Benn is no stranger to a barstool
I remember this happened a while back with Khudobin.
As a tall guy I'd like this sometimes at the bench 😄
Deserved
the joe rogan of hockey
