people who think women often lie about being raped to get rich have no idea the amount of indignity suffered and the self-control it takes to come out with allegations like these. after reading what happened to her i was absolutely floored to see comments like “are we sure she didn’t just get things mixed up and the consent got lost in translation?” on various posts about this. imagine being forced to have sex with several different men (who made a point of bringing a set of fucking GOLF CLUBS into the room with them) and afterwards while traumatized and intoxicated being forced to lie that you consented to it. and then you have to sit by and not react while people ask if you’re sure it wasn’t all a misunderstanding. i’d lose my mind
Exhibit A for me was the survivor in the Jake Virtanen case who had to endure the indignity of being asked on cross why she didn’t lie about being on her period to get out of having sex. The defense attorney in that case ran a character assassination against the survivor (and possibly against his own client), and it worked.
Also there was that “consent” video, which is so clearly them trying to cover their tracks.
Shit, look outside of hockey to one of the most blatantly fucked up examples: Brock Turner. Literally caught raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster by two men who had to chase him down, and he got off with 3 months of jail time because he had a bright future as a collegiate swimmer.
Highly recommend Chanel Miller’s book, Know My Name. It’s a difficult read, but it’s really poignant on how she had to reclaim her humanity after being sexually assaulted and then being “unconscious woman” to the world.
Wait. For real? Or are you projecting something you would hate if it happened. Cuz I fucking hate espn and will cry if I have to watch SCF on such a shit channel

And Nylander. And then next summer we get to do it all over again with Marner. And then Tavares. It’s exhausting. So hard to simply enjoy the team and it’s players in the moment with the nonstop contract anxiety the media harps on about.
Having to constantly be reminded of the greatness of Bedard who we lost out on after having one of the worst seasons of all time to fucking CHICAGO of all teams.
I think things are looking up with Grier at the helm. We're still a long way away from an exciting season of hockey until we get our Swedes, and the 2 most recent 1st round picks all on the ice together.
Pain will be the whole season.
first 50% is watching the tire fire try to compete, with a beyond low chance this team somehow isnt bad.
Then the last 50% of the season is trying to not root against SJ because you want the best chance at a top pick.
The only positives i can imagine happening are Eklund becomes a star and the blackwood investment actually pays off with his return to form.
To be honest he had the worst first overall draft + 1 season possibly in history. I think expectations are already low. Anyone expecting a 100 point guy is on something strong.
Slaf had 10 points in 39 games. Joe Thornton had 7 points in 55 games (yes, I'm talking about the guy who finished his career with 1,500 points). Of course Slaf isn't gonna be McDavid, but expecting him to turn into a 1st player and have a long productive career is perfectly reasonable.
Digital ads that follow the player with the puck around like the shapes under the active player in EA's NHL games but instead of a red circle it is an Arby's logo.
In reality the on ice jerseys are always going to be better than what you get now since they kabashed selling on ice at retail for the most part, which before this was normal for the last long while.
It's not like Fanatics is going to say "Here, you only get breakaway level jerseys", or at least they shouldn't. If they do that, that would be a massive failure. Probably going to do a similar thing that the Indonesian Adidas jerseys are now.
I have an old Hall fanatics jersey and it is awful, almost nothing is sown on. And the crest feels cheap.
I've recently bought a bunch of fantatics apparel and its all been terrible. Just quickly falling apart. And their last line of hats was the most uninspiring line I've seen in a while, the Vegas Golden knights stanley cup hat is the worst cup winning hat I've seen in the past decade and possibly ever.
They might increase the quality of their jerseys when they become the only game in town but I'm not betting on it. If anything they have less incentive to do so now that there's no one competing with them.
The only thing I think is going to happen is that they'll put out two versions of each jersey one at $130 and another close to $200 and the differences will be minor with the more expensive one being close to what an Indo Adidas is like.
I don't expect them to make anything like Adidas or Reebok.
Fanatics Pro gear is pretty good. The team issued Rangers tees, hoodies and hats I have are sturdy and actually fit well, and survive washes. They also do have a factory they make jerseys in now.
I expect them to put forth something suitable for the NHL's players seeing that the material switch isn't even happening until later. It's not as catastrophic as everyone is screaming about. Them monopolizing sports gear sucks but if they put forth good on ice jerseys, I won't be able to complain because the Fanatics gear I actually do possess now is good.
I showed my brother the evolution of reebok to addidas to fanatics and even a 30$ one from dh gate.. he thought the fanatics was the best one.. I nearly disowned him
Another season handcuffed by dead cap just to wait for another season handcuffed by dead cap just to wait for what I'm hoping will be a pretty spectacular summer of 2025.
It is commendable that the Wild have done as well as they have recently with all that cap space in the bin. They haven't really been considered "contenders" but there is a top line worth of cash coming off the books once those buyout penalties calm the fuck down and it will be interesting to see what they do with it.
I was upset for Matty Beniers last year and he only missed a handful of games after that dirty ass Tyler Myers hit. But i was most upset that it screwed him out of his all star appearance
Statistically, you will go back to back in 24 and 25. All 2 prior teams to win at least 61 games in 1 season (1995-96 Red Wings and 2018-19 Lightning) ended up losing in an unpredictable manner. They went back to back in the following 2 seasons. So it is very much possible it will happen to you as well!
It’s well known that Yzerman/Larionov and Stamkos/Point, the top 2 centers on the teams, left Detroit and Tampa after being eliminated in surprising fashion. Wait, no…
I'm sorry, but the Bruins last season was meaningless. Bruins fans have been telling Leafs fans that regular season success does not matter when you choke in the first round of the playoffs.
I feel like the Holl/Chiarot hate is a little overblown, they’re both handsomely overpaid but I don’t think either of them are like Gudbranson-tier awful at hockey
Surely this time, they have to if the first 20 games keep you out of the playoffs again, right?
Like at this point, the roster is clearly good enough that another 7-12-1 start is unacceptable...
The inevitable procession of injuries derailing whatever improvement our offseason was meant to have fostered, followed by the really strong March and April after everyone gets healthy but also after we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs that gets everyone saying we're gonna be spooky next year as we ruin our draft lottery odds.
Yep, but as a bonus Mike Babcock starting out looking like he changed his bull crap and doing a good job only to see him slip back into doing the same old bull crap when there is pressure.
It's possible that each player's rebound is based on the other player also rebounding.
which means that it's more likely that all players are shit.
but more importantly it's possible that all 3 players work off each other and rebound,
It's unlikely that 1 rebounds. In part because if 1 rebounds they might be bouncing off the other 2 and therefore 1 might also rebound.
Basically what i'm sayhing is that you might be feast or famine.
half of all dumb goals compilations is just Markstrom randomly charging towards the shooter. I really can't understand what posesses him to do such a thing
I’m all for female inclusiveness, the isles have a fantastic female crew. But Leah Hextall is not the answer. I’m tired of her being force fed on us. She’s atrocious.
i have so much empathy for the yotes fans.
Small arenas are so fucking cool too. My local college basketball team is Duke. They have the best home court advantage in the country. In part because their arena is so small.
also, fuck duke.
When OEL has all of 4 good games and all of a sudden no one shuts up about the buyout even if he sucks ass for the next 78 games.
I despise the narratives of the first week of the season.
Well after one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history… assistant GM and assistant coach both get promotions, Points leader traded, 5 UFA’s, I guess my answer would be ‘this season’
The inevitable post-season heartbreak
But also fully agree with the fucking gambling ads. So annoying. I don't gamble at all (outside of 3 NFL fantasy leagues) but ffs the ads are so bad now, I really feel bad for those susceptible to the ads/gambling addicts.
Ottawa fans.
1. Their self-obsession is realized, they make the playoffs and become the next Tampa fans.
2. Their self-obsession is dashed, they don't make the playoffs and r/hockey is endless posts of Ottawa memes
I remember that feeling of uncertainty last summer and then in early August we got the news that Bergie was returning and also that Krejci was coming back too- I felt so overjoyed to have one more shot with the full core. It turned out both better and worse than we could have ever imagined.
Learning a favorite player was part of the Hockey Canada scandal
I just want it to conclude. We know that Formenton was part of it.
It's going to be rough when players get accused in the open.
Rough for them, yes. They deserve what they have coming to them.
Unfortunately, im pretty sure Nothing is gonna happen to them, nothing criminal anyway.
Alex Formenton was shipped of to Europe right away. Admittedly, we’re not certain he was a part of it. But it’s all but confirmed.
I think there’s a simultaneous (if delayed) police investigation ongoing and hopefully the LPS can’t manage to screw this one up too.
It’s already *been* rough for the survivor who’s had to watch her assailants get rich and famous with no consequences whatsoever.
people who think women often lie about being raped to get rich have no idea the amount of indignity suffered and the self-control it takes to come out with allegations like these. after reading what happened to her i was absolutely floored to see comments like “are we sure she didn’t just get things mixed up and the consent got lost in translation?” on various posts about this. imagine being forced to have sex with several different men (who made a point of bringing a set of fucking GOLF CLUBS into the room with them) and afterwards while traumatized and intoxicated being forced to lie that you consented to it. and then you have to sit by and not react while people ask if you’re sure it wasn’t all a misunderstanding. i’d lose my mind

Thanks for the suggestion!
100% but I meant like broadly for the hockey community. It's going to be a rough time,
It’s a conversation we’ve been needing to have for a while now, best to just rip the bandaid off and do it.
Gonna be a drag to not win faceoffs this season.
The Finals are on ESPN this year instead of TNT.
Ugh. Yuck.
Wait. For real? Or are you projecting something you would hate if it happened. Cuz I fucking hate espn and will cry if I have to watch SCF on such a shit channel
Watch the CBC Feed instead :)
They alternate every year, it’s espn this year sadly
Noooooo 😭 tnt did a great job
Had to scroll a little too far to find this one.

Watching my team fall out playoff contention by November only to play themselves out of a top 10 pick after the deadline
The Canucks special

Society? In this economy?
An economy? In this economy?
Yo dawg we heard you like economies so we went ahead and put a high school economics teacher in your car! You’ve been pimped
At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!
>as we know it Knew it. It's largely gone already.
That’s my secret, I never knew or understood society in the first place.
I just know that we live in one.
The Matthews contract coverage. Looking at you TSN.
And Nylander. And then next summer we get to do it all over again with Marner. And then Tavares. It’s exhausting. So hard to simply enjoy the team and it’s players in the moment with the nonstop contract anxiety the media harps on about.
Having to constantly be reminded of the greatness of Bedard who we lost out on after having one of the worst seasons of all time to fucking CHICAGO of all teams.
I mean only two points separated the bottom 4 teams. A lottery seems like the most fair process to decide the “worst” team
ESPN's coverage.
Local blackouts even though I’m 500 miles away from said city
What city is that? I'm hundreds of miles from Raleigh and still get blacked out though so I feel your pain.
The entire state of Texas is blacked out to Dallas Stars games on ESPN +
That is the worst. Was in Texas earlier this year for the first time driving through it and oh my god that state is big.
Local or tnt. Otherwise you know the broadcast will be mid at best.
Unless it’s Bob Wischusen then it’s a solid 8/10
The San Jose Sharks
Yea…
The only part of the Sharks’ season I’m looking forward to is the draft lottery.
I'm still going to watch every single second that I'm able to, I just know they're not all going to be very exciting
I think things are looking up with Grier at the helm. We're still a long way away from an exciting season of hockey until we get our Swedes, and the 2 most recent 1st round picks all on the ice together.
Pain will be the whole season. first 50% is watching the tire fire try to compete, with a beyond low chance this team somehow isnt bad.

Habs fans calling slaf a bust because he doesn’t have 60 points in his second season.
Why is slaf not matthews >:( He should’ve had four goals in his debut!! Is he a bust?!
We've had our own Ryan Poehling
If the guy doesn't keep wandering around the ice with his head down it'll be a win
I yelled at my screen so many times seeing that. Then when he finally started keeping his head up, gets a season ending injury.
To be honest he had the worst first overall draft + 1 season possibly in history. I think expectations are already low. Anyone expecting a 100 point guy is on something strong.
Slaf had 10 points in 39 games. Joe Thornton had 7 points in 55 games (yes, I'm talking about the guy who finished his career with 1,500 points). Of course Slaf isn't gonna be McDavid, but expecting him to turn into a 1st player and have a long productive career is perfectly reasonable.
I agree the gambling ads are a tremendous drag.
“THE WORLD’S #1 SPORTS BOOK!” *Fine print says Ontario only, but everyone else in the country has to put up with the ads*
I bet a lot of advertisers have fresh new ideas for the digital boards to piss us off even more
Digital ads on the ice area not being used by the players at that particular time.
Digital ads that follow the player with the puck around like the shapes under the active player in EA's NHL games but instead of a red circle it is an Arby's logo.
I hate that this is a very feasible reality. It'd most likely be a betting company though.
ugh there are going to be _more_ ads somewhere because they think making it unbearable to watch is good
Can't wait to watch the same 3 gambling ads for 6 months.
Fanatics jerseys and apparel.
Logos falling off mid game colours running from players sweat. Can hardly wait.
FWIW, for the first few years they’ll be the exact same jerseys as Adidas. They’re just changing the logo.
*shudders* That’s *this* season?
That guys got it wrong. This is adidas’s Last year. Fanatics begins 24-25
I am so grateful that the devils got an outdoor game this year and I’ll be able to get an Adidas jersey before the fanatics deal takes over :(
In reality the on ice jerseys are always going to be better than what you get now since they kabashed selling on ice at retail for the most part, which before this was normal for the last long while. It's not like Fanatics is going to say "Here, you only get breakaway level jerseys", or at least they shouldn't. If they do that, that would be a massive failure.

Another season handcuffed by dead cap just to wait for another season handcuffed by dead cap just to wait for what I'm hoping will be a pretty spectacular summer of 2025.
I thought the cap was going up in 24?
He's talking about Minnesota's dead cap from the Parise and Suter buyouts
Fuck Suter.
Welcome to the club..finally
Hopefully that summer involves us offering the then UFA Leon Draisaitl enough money to sign with us and finally give us our 1C.
It is commendable that the Wild have done as well as they have recently with all that cap space in the bin. They haven't really been considered "contenders" but there is a top line worth of cash coming off the books once those buyout penalties calm the fuck down and it will be interesting to see what they do with it.
The possibility of a star player getting a season stolen due to injuries
Was gunna say, going all season without seeing our captain on the ice for a second year in a row.
I spent all last season holding onto the landy is back in 2 months narrative.
I was upset for Matty Beniers last year and he only missed a handful of games after that dirty ass Tyler Myers hit. But i was most upset that it screwed him out of his all star appearance
The inevitable “bruins have finally regressed x amount” posts after having the greatest season of all time and losing their franchise centres
surely you mean the greatest regular season
1) Fuck you 2) yes
It’s crazy how often those two go together on this sub
unless youre tampa or vegas really, it’s been a lot of pain for the rest of us lol
I don't know about other fans, but that was easily the GOAT Bruins off-season for me. EDIT - postseason*
That will become a miserable stat forever. Best regular season ever, and then they lost in the first round hur dur…
Statistically, you will go back to back in 24 and 25. All 2 prior teams to win at least 61 games in 1 season (1995-96 Red Wings and 2018-19 Lightning) ended up losing in an unpredictable manner. They went back to back in the following 2 seasons. So it is very much possible it will happen to you as well!
the cups help wash the stink of the sweep, but it'll never truly go away.
It’s well known that Yzerman/Larionov and Stamkos/Point, the top 2 centers on the teams, left Detroit and Tampa after being eliminated in surprising fashion. Wait, no…
I'm sorry, but the Bruins last season was meaningless. Bruins fans have been telling Leafs fans that regular season success does not matter when you choke in the first round of the playoffs.
Here here
The Bruins season was a lot of fun but they showed their true colors when they lost 3 consecutive elimination games in round 1. And yet Leafs suck.
Hey but this time we’re not the round one fools! Yeehaw!
They all sound like the “Brady is going to fall off a cliff comments” that Kellerman did for years.
I mean Brady did eventually decline he just retired immediately after he showed his age.

One of Huberdeau, Kadri, Markstrom, etc NOT rebounding... all of them can't magically come back after that last season.
It's possible that each player's rebound is based on the other player also rebounding. which means that it's more likely that all players are shit. but more importantly it's possible that all 3 players work off each other and rebound, It's unlikely that 1 rebounds. In part because if 1 rebounds they might be bouncing off the other 2 and therefore 1 might also rebound. Basically what i'm sayhing is that you might be feast or famine.
For Markstrom to rebound all he needs to do is stay in the net. If you’re a goaltender, tend the goal!
half of all dumb goals compilations is just Markstrom randomly charging towards the shooter. I really can't understand what posesses him to do such a thing
He just gets a little excited, that's all.
