i would keep quiet and keep my job lol

but when they fire me hehehe

nhl owners had been losing money and pressuring the players to take more cuts. not sure how the talks are going so far but a lockout seems inevitable

They probably going to have another lockout, maybe the VGK expansion was not the best plan

Expansions should only happen when all teams are profiting big

tbf, not many people watches hockey during summer. so maybe that's why. comparing nhl to nba/mbl, the woke stuff is considerably less

seattle is still giving money for their expansion fee, to my understanding. but with the lockdown "supposedly" lifting next year, things should shimmer down a bit

Hopefully

agree. big charities are notorious for money laundering and are often less effective than small, local ones

Yep, investing in the local area is usually always better

bettmans gotta get a good tv contract for nhl games, only way for them to get big

Sports/ entertainment should take people mind of the real world. I don't want to be reminded on what's happening in the world. I'm trying to relax

He also wants to expand in the us market cuz yhe us dollar is more valuable. Which is why it baffled me that he still investing money into arizona <:KEK:726877368601411624>

yea ig

idk where else they could have a team though

Quebec <:KEK:726877368601411624>

no in the us lol]

Just to play the devil advocate here, but sports had always have some political elements under it.

You mean in respect to race?@isoboto

Houston is an okay spot to try out

maybe even kansas city

Races of the players? Yeah. Ie. Black boxers. Or certain ethinicities are not allowed to participate in the olympic back in Hitler's era

or even in sa not too long ago

Yeah. Having a rival to dallas would be pretty good

@isoboto they should put a team where its would be the only major team or one other team, thats why LV is doing so good

I'm still surprised Milwaukee doesn't have a team but maybe too close to Chicago and Minnesota

It also should be analyze why vegas was able to success, too. A lot of the expansion teams are scraping the bottom rn

Part of it could be timing. VGK was the first thing for the city to really behind after that shooting

There are a lot of places nhl could try that are more hockey/sport-hub

And they still haven't had a bad season

With the way they are trading everybody and having kneejerk reaction to losses, idk if their success is sustained

their success wont be sustained, they got the expansion luck, but will hit their low soon

happens to every team in every league

just look at ATL United in MLS, came into the league powerhouses, but will fall eventually

Considering in 2 years they've managed to be my teams biggest rival you love to see it

ATL United didn't make the playoffs this year, right?

I dont think so, but the MLS season was so messed up it could be counted as a fluke

btw rip logan paul and jake paul

they wanna box mayweather and mcgreggor

what happened to the both of them now

oh
