They were actually relevant for a while

#

That's the price you pay for relevancy

#

There's only one Rodgers, one Brady

#

The going rate for the big boys increases the rate of the lower tiers

dim kettle
#

It wasn't anything Cutler did. That was still the time when Matt Forte was carrying that offense and the defense still had HOFs

robust grotto
#

2024 4th for Lazar

rustic mountain
#

I mean I don't disagree Siren

#

I am just saying that Cutler was at least an above average qb

#

Finding one of those alone is difficult

#

The scarcity of any good qb play nowadays

dim kettle
#

He was 5-11 as a starter when he got extended. He couldn't even get the "above average QB" thing right.

rustic mountain
#

What are the context of those wins and losses tho

dim kettle
#

Sure as hell wasn't anything the offense was doing.

rustic mountain
#

It's kinda like looking at the Bills Chiefs game

#

Was Josh Allen the reason they lost? No but he gets saddled with it (hilarious)

short flame
#

Lunik after considering all the transfer market and the teams around, considering we’re not getting through to the playoffs this year, you’re now my prediction to win the whole thing. Good luck rangers

rustic mountain
#

No offense Lunik, but Id rather new york sports in general never see another title

dim kettle
#

Rangers making all these moves to only lose in 6 to the Devils.

rustic mountain
#

As long as they take out the Bruins on the way tho

#

That'd be neat

#

Also I’ve decided on a new outlook in life siren

#

Devils winning the division

dim kettle
#

On paper. But the NHL playoffs are BS. Always are

robust grotto
#

Thank you

rustic mountain
#

Paper Tigers aren't really all too scary

short flame
#

It’s one of you 3 winning this year

dim kettle
#

The Canes are probably gonna win the Metro though. So... have fun reliving that Devils/Rangers beef.

So with all the Fleury of trades does anyone really change how good they are rn or do we have to see what the playoffs bring

#

No I just saw an opportunity for a joke

#

But now the joke died because I had to explain it

dim kettle
#

At this point, it doesn't matter the positioning of the seeding on the East. The Bolts could be the first WC spot and either the Rangers or Canes would be shitting their pants

short flame
#

Sorry for killing it

rustic mountain
#

Lol no no

#

I am saying it was a bad joke

#

Nothing to apologize for

#

Well not you anyway

celest zephyr
#

Man the nhl might be fucked

short flame
#

So you’re saying fleury is still available

celest zephyr
#

Idk how they’ll broadcast games now

rustic mountain
#

Probably

celest zephyr
#

They already are struggling

#

Without regional networks they might be fucked

rustic mountain
#

It sounds like the NHL needs a new tv deal

#

With a nationwide sponsor

celest zephyr
#

Even if nba and nfl go stagnant they still are making massive amounts of money

short flame
celest zephyr
#

And with stuff like league pass and nfl game pass they can benefit from it

rustic mountain
#

Regional networks are dying out

celest zephyr
#

Régional networks are going bankrupt

#

Yeah

short flame
#

Oh no

#

I liked msg

celest zephyr
#

So at least for this season leagues in play have to scramble to finish out the season

rustic mountain
#

Hockey isn't going anywhere

#

It'll get a new deal somewhere

celest zephyr
#

It isn’t but at least short term for the rest of the season idk how they plan to broadcast

dim kettle
#

I think at some point every team will have their own broadcasts like the Cubs and Yankees do.

celest zephyr
#

Until they can find a solution

#

For sure that’s the goal tbh

short flame
#

There needs to be a game pass to see the season

celest zephyr
#

Have their own broadcasts

#

Win - win . Teams get to directly sell their product and leagues can offer subs without region locks

#

So more money on both sides

short flame
#

I wish I could support the team but I can’t pay every network

celest zephyr
#

Espn + is the answer

#

For hockey

#

Nba nfl and mlb already offer their own services

dim kettle
#

MSG channels are still profitable. So for the Devils, Sabres, Rangers, Isles, it won't be a problem.

dim ledge
#

MSG shows sabres?:

celest zephyr
#

Yeah its really diamond and Bally sports

dim kettle
#

In the Buffalo area

celest zephyr
#

Which they suck ass so I’m happy

Huh

celest zephyr
#

New York / New Jersey is a big enough market on its own

short flame
#

I love having Marty Biron while watching the games

dim kettle
celest zephyr
#

Don’t see any regional broadcast there dying any time soon

short flame
#

I like having the commentator on my side

celest zephyr
#

Bally sports also went too far

#

They had hands in so many different regions

short flame
#

I don’t like having streams where the commentator is from another team

dim kettle
#

Bally Sports was trash from the very beginning. The Rays Reddit page literally made it a running meme that the broadcasts would have 10 million errors

#

The first Bolts game at the end showed an empty net for an awkwardly amount of time.

How does he have 5 points this season

Oh yeah of course

Huh maybe if the leafs dangle nylander and three firsts

short flame
#

But not a fan of the trade

celest zephyr
#

A 2023 second isn’t ideal

#

Considering this team isn’t very good this season

short flame
#

I think we have enough young players

celest zephyr
#

Maybe next year you’ll have a defense that can be called one

short flame
#

We need to get experience

celest zephyr
#

Maybe a competent d man to shore up your rotation

#

Or a backup goalie that isn’t ass

short flame
#

We got sort of a defender

#

And this guy that’s probably going to Rochester the second tuch comes back

short flame
celest zephyr
#

Fair enough

#

For this season a. Backup

robust grotto
celest zephyr
#

But obvanderson is old

#

Dang it not Pittsburgh trades

#

Please habs trade Suzuki or caulfield

short flame
celest zephyr
#

I mean even if Levi pans out you still need someone to back him up

short flame
#

Or Savard

celest zephyr
#

Dach is good also

short flame
#

Otherwise keep their players

#

I don’t want the rest

celest zephyr
#

Habs have a lot of good pieces for such a shit team

short flame
#

Like caufield is decent but they would ask too much

#

I’m not trading anyone important for him

short flame
#

But I think levi will not sign that’s why we need a starter

More of why didn’t they just interview women in their org

stiff coyote
#

BRO WTF ARE MY CLIPPERS DOING!!!

rustic ore
celest zephyr
#

Getting cooked because Eric Gordon can’t defend

stiff coyote
#

bro not even that

#

our fucking turnovers are killing us

celest zephyr
#

Oh that idk get a point guard that doesn’t turn the balll over much

stiff coyote
#

everyone played so bad after the half

celest zephyr
#

And not Russ lol

stiff coyote
#

it's not only russ thou

celest zephyr
#

Yeah but you can’t expect good offense if there’s no one to facilitate

stiff coyote
#

tobhis defence, he's been ballin. PG has turned the ball over in 3 games on the 4th quarter

celest zephyr
#

Because he isn’t a point guard lol

robust grotto
stiff coyote
#

more on pg

celest zephyr
#

Idk when Paul George has been expected to be the main ball handler since he left Indy

#

This team is done for

#

Clippers should just pack up their bags after losing in the playoffs

stiff coyote
#

pg is a damn Allstar. he needs to do better. Kawhi has been ballin just for the team to cause turnovers

celest zephyr
#

So Rudy gobert is supposed to handle the ball and not get turnovers?

#

Man the bigger issue is you guys don’t have a low turnover floor general

#

Which peole have been saying for years

stiff coyote
#

Rudy gobert is not a offense player thou. Everyone knows he'll get you least 15 pts. PG is a 2 way player. He should be averaging least 20 on a 40%fg.

celest zephyr
#

And really the offense since kawhi has gotten going is clicking

stiff coyote
#

I don't expect russel to give us 20

robust grotto
celest zephyr
#

Your defense has become suspect

celest zephyr
#

From having public humiliation for a bad penguins trade

stiff coyote
#

naw, plus we don't have Zubac since he still injured

#

it's too early, and I'm not giving up but it's not looking good

celest zephyr
#

It’s in the bottom third in the league since January 8th lol what

#

Zubac isn’t so important that he drops a top 5 defense to a bad one

stiff coyote
#

It's literally just the damn turnovers that kill us. Naw one thing I learned bro is you never say its over. there's still 18 games till the playoffs.

#

also zubac give us the HUGE rebounds

celest zephyr
#

Yeah yeah at least for the raptors they should just pack their bags and go to Cancun

stiff coyote
#

okay the raptors are out lmao

celest zephyr
#

But they can make the playin so lol

stiff coyote
#

idk why they don't do anything in the trade deadline

#

it was really dumb

celest zephyr
#

Because they love mediocrity

#

And this terrible roster

stiff coyote
#

Pascal Siakam to me is overrated as heck

#

he can't lead a team

#

and is unconsistant

celest zephyr
#

4-4 since poeltl starting playing yay

stiff coyote
#

I surprised how bad Miami is playing too tbh

celest zephyr
#

Definitely was the piece to bring this team over the top

stiff coyote
#

that I agree, he was huge

celest zephyr
#

Oh siakam yeah

#

He’s a good second option

stiff coyote
#

also I just hope The grizzlies lose if my clippers ain't winning it

celest zephyr
#

The siakam first option thing was dead after he shat the bed against Boston

hasty basin

true, will for your sake and torontos sake

I hope yall make the playoffs

#

Bruh I don’t want that

stiff coyote

lmao

#

Ma boy Russ man

celest zephyr
#

I want this team to fall off of a cliff and suck so they finally do something

hasty basin
#

I really want him to get a redemption arc somehow

#

But I don't see it happening

stiff coyote
#

As a clipper fan, Russ is ight

celest zephyr
#

The last thing I want is them paying 40 plus mill a year for a starting backcourt of two shooting guards

stiff coyote
#

I get your point, I cant argue there

#

I see the celtics v nuggets finals rn

hasty basin

Nuggets in playoffs

stiff coyote

Idk the way NBA changes in the playoffs

celest zephyr

Yeah but who’s even better lol

hasty basin
#

Also

#

I haven't been watching that much basketball these last few years but

celest zephyr
#

Before there was golden state and Denver got hurt all the damn time

hasty basin
#

PG Kawhi and Russ is a crazy defensive trio

celest zephyr
#

Defensive????

hasty basin
#

Atleast from where I remember then

#

Them

#

Yes

celest zephyr
#

You seen Russ play d lol

#

He doesn’t play much rn

hasty basin
#

Ye?

#

Oh

celest zephyr
#

Or make a layup

stiff coyote
#

If my clippers get their SHEET together we can win

hasty basin
#

Idk about now

#

But in his Thunder days 100%

#

The hustle is what made me love him lol

celest zephyr
#

Yeah it’s the hustle and hops

hasty basin
#

And that MVP season it felt like

#

Every clutch shot he took was going in

stiff coyote
#

he did take many shots thou

hasty basin
#

Yes

#

He had his best 3p %

#

That year

stiff coyote
#

his fg was awful, and those turnovers

hasty basin
#

Which was average across the league

#

I believe

stiff coyote
#

not good enough for a pg thou.

hasty basin
#

Oh yeah this vid is amazing idk why I just saw it but

stiff coyote

I've seen this

#

I'll get back to now cos I'm getting back to

#

NBA

#

Slowly

stiff coyote
#

I don't really watch the nba as I used to as well

hasty basin
#

The biggest surprise I got was

#

Heat 2 chips

#

Like what

stiff coyote
#

it's hella more boring now

#

no defence at all in the league.

#

I miss it so much

hasty basin
#

Heard about that as well

#

And defence is my favourite thing in basketball

stiff coyote
#

soccer/futbol is more physical that Basketball at this point.

#

no joke

celest zephyr
#

Nba players are just too good lmao

#

Like the average player can attach mismatches

hasty basin
#

I mean

#

I just see them pulling shots from half court now

#

What's the future gonna be lol

celest zephyr
#

Only a few people can actually hit it lol

stiff coyote
#

yes they are athletic freaks of nature.

#

however

celest zephyr
#

Otherwise it’s just desperation heaves

hasty basin
#

Yeah but the depth just keeps increasing

celest zephyr
#

Sure but like still it’s pretty much the same culprits as before in terms of making them

stiff coyote
#

the league has no defence at all. Two 70 pt games in one season???

#

no defence bro

#

it gets boring watching players shoot a step back three

#

that's why I appreciate and love LBJ, Kawhi and Derozan

hasty basin
#

Hmm

#

Julius Randle I would never ever predict

#

To win a MIP award

#

The others look fair

stiff coyote
#

Julius Randle that year was solid bro

celest zephyr
#

He had one good season and then reverted to old randle

hasty basin

And to Atlanta?????

#

Come on man at least go to like Houston or something

#

Or maybe Quebec City

#

Or San Fran

#

Not Atlanta lol what

#

That team sucked so hard it went to Winnipeg of all places

#

Please god just moving the coyotes

#

I’ll tolerate it if at least the coyotes move away

#

To a place where there are actual fans

short flame
#

he'd rather build a second team in arizona than have one in canada

#

Someone had told me that quebec fans can all rally around the canadiens since they're in the same province but having friends from quebec city, they'd rather support any other team in the nhl

dim kettle
#

Make no mistake about it, Winnipeg stole the Thrashers from Atlanta. I've known many former Thrasher fans. They were loyal to the team until they traded Ilya Kovalchuk to save money.

#

And why would the NHL try again there? The market.

Quebec City, look you can keep coping that a team should be there. But you gotta face the reality that it simply won't work there for any smart business man. At this point, that market is Habs country and it's almost been 30 years now.

San Fran I'm not even gonna put effort into that. San Jose is the Bay Area team already. Houston though makes sense too and that probably on the table too if a 34th team becomes a thing.

short flame
#

and yeah I'll keep coping for quebec city because I know they deserve a team there. it's a great market for the sport, fans are loyal, they still are 30 years after the team died. I still see nordiques jerseys everywhere. maybe we're not as big as the american market but we're a great crowd. you won't get empty stadiums here. And you call it Habs country when half the population don't even like the habs, I might even say they despise the habs. People from quebec would rather go for arizona

celest zephyr
#

Yeah one thing is for sure Quebec City definitely isn’t filled with habs fans

#

I barely saw any habs fans there when i went

#

Fair enough it was just ideas lol

#

Yeah Atlanta is a big enough market but idk feels weird to have a team there

#

For me at least

And i don’t live in the us so i only know that they are somewhere in California

Just saying, if you put a team in Quebec City, you might as well put one in Hamilton too.

short flame

never would have guessed

celest zephyr
#

What why?

dim kettle
#

Same risk.

celest zephyr
#

That’s so close to Toronto lol

#

How Quebec City is an actual city and its still hours from Montreal

short flame
#

do people in hamilton support toronto?

celest zephyr
#

Hamilton is really close to Toronto though

short flame
#

if so, no reason to put a team there

short flame
dim kettle
#

Says that while knowing the Devils play in NJ.

celest zephyr
#

New Jersey is another state

short flame
#

yeah but people in new york and new jersey are rivals

celest zephyr
#

Look how close they are lol

#

Also Hamilton is part of the gta

dim kettle
celest zephyr
#

Wouldn’t make any sense to have a team in Toronto and another in the gta

short flame
#

We're closer to ottawa than quebec city

celest zephyr
#

Because New Jersey is another independent state

dim kettle
#

NJ is basically NY. North side at least.

celest zephyr
#

Whereas Hamilton is in the same state and part of the gta

dim kettle
#

The Jets and Giants literally play in NJ while also being called NY

celest zephyr
#

Are they in the same city though lol?

#

Idk guess its weird

short flame
#

it's not really a question of distance siren

#

it's a question of identity

celest zephyr
#

^^^^^^^

short flame
#

ask any new yorkian if they consider new jersey as part of the city

celest zephyr
#

Hamilton is defined as part of the gta

#

So it would make zero sense to have a team there

#

Heck the leafs could theoretically move there and still be called the Toronto maple leafs

#

They had a winter classic game in the gta lol

short flame
#

quebec people and montreal people are two diferent breeds

celest zephyr
#

^^^^^

#

Simply put its a matter of how different the markets are

short flame
#

even the accent is different

celest zephyr
#

New York and New Jersey aren’t the same market

#

Hamilton is part of the gta so its pretty much the Toronto market

short flame
#

we're also new york (state)

#

but we're a completely different market

celest zephyr
#

Aren’t you in Quebec d right now?

short flame
dim kettle
celest zephyr
#

Oh got it

#

Okay fine sure i still don’t see how it equals having a team in Hamilton but okay

#

Nor how it gets even close to Quebec City vs Montreal

#

That’s really the bigger issue lol

short flame
#

it's like asking why there's not team in saint petersbourg shadow

celest zephyr
#

^^^^^

short flame
#

lovely city by the way

celest zephyr
#

Yeah even if i messed up with New York vs New Jersey it still makes no sense to have a team in the suburb of a city with a team already

dim kettle
#

Technically they are St Pete's team too. People don't often realize that Tampa Bay isn't the city name but the general area containing Tampa, St Pete.

celest zephyr
#

Exactly so now you see how that can also apply to the gta lol

#

Which is named after Toronto

#

And can be considered in some ways to be a part of it

#

New York and New Jersey are still separate states nor do they have any reason to lkike each other

#

There’s really no reason why people in Hamilton would have any illwill to Toronto and more specifically downtown Toronto

#

Really there’s no distinct barrier between Toronto and Hamilton whereas at least New Jersey and new york are clearly defined separate entities

#

Quebec City and Montreal are also since their city areas don’t interfere with each other

short flame
# celest zephyr Yeah even if i messed up with New York vs New Jersey it still makes no sense to ...

it only makes sense when the suburb of the city is another market. if the people from the suburbs wouldn't support the team then you could argue a team being put in the city. but if the people from the region all support the club then no need to get a team there. You can have a big region with many cities, even states that follow a same club while in other cases a small area will have their own club because they have a certain affinity to their home and don't support the cities around it

celest zephyr
#

So really its just the same as having the leafs and sens in the same province

celest zephyr
#

I suck at us geography and stuff but that’s still my point

dim kettle
celest zephyr
#

They are still different states?

#

With different laws and regulations

#

How does that relate to Toronto and Hamilton which are in the same province and identical provincial rules

#

Thé gta is solely inclosed in one province

#

^^^^

#

Like idk how you can confuse New York and New Jersey as having the exact same identity but Hamilton and Toronto are pretty similar

#

How does Hamilton in the grand scheme of things make any difference compared to Toronto ?

dim kettle
#

Indeed. But here's the thing. NY and NJ at least the part the Devils play in is very much NY. It blends right in with each other.

#

NJ doesn't have a clear identity..

celest zephyr
#

Okay but still not the same as Toronto and Hamilton lol

short flame
celest zephyr
#

^^^^

#

Exactly like why would people in Hamilton if they supported a local nhl team not be leafs fans

#

The issue is really two distinct fan bases can exist there whereas where are even the fans for a Hamilton team lol

dim kettle
#

They have the market to support one though. I'll give them that. Their market is almost as big as Winnipeg.

celest zephyr
#

Sure but that well just makes the leafs market bigger

#

Which i can tell you as someone who lives in the gta is a fact lol

#

A decent amount of people even in my suburb are leafs fans

#

I have barely seen any fans of other teams outside of malls

#

And really that was more in a mall in ottawa because well there are hardly any sens fans left

#

That still would bother to wear sens merch

short flame
#

you know what's funny about the quebec market

celest zephyr
#

It’s what it comes down to for any team: is there a local market that can sustain a team?

short flame
#

they have a bigger stadium than 17 nhl teams

#

for a lhjmq team

celest zephyr
#

That isn’t being taken by another team in the same league already

Well, that's why I thought 32 teams was good enough.

celest zephyr
#

I agree

#

32 is perfect

#

Idk why they are adding more teams

robust grotto
celest zephyr
#

They did for sure

dim kettle
#

I'm not shocked at that, I'm more shocked that it's the NHL that's trying this.

robust grotto
#

Yeah idk why nhl would expand

celest zephyr
#

I don’t even care about the jets

#

Yeah that’s my point lol

robust grotto
#

Maybe finally the big Arizona move … but

#

Then who goes west again

The nhl of all leagues possibly expanding after just adding two brand new teams

Why are you not a devils fan then

robust grotto
#

NJ but I’m close, in the nyc metro

dim kettle
#

I think the only way Quebec City ever get's a team back is through relocation. But you know, full circle going back to Atlanta. If the NHL really saw the potential of that market, they would've picked Quebec over Winnipeg.

celest zephyr
#

Maybe it was just too recent idk

#

Or same conf

dim kettle
#

Winnipeg is more west.

#

The Jets were literally playing in the Southeast for a few years.

short flame
#

they fill 18k stadiums for an lhjmq team

robust grotto
#

Not a devils fan for a lot of reasons but mainly bc I saw a game at msg when I was a little kid and I fell in love w the building. having to take the train to get there. The adventure and then the buzz of the building was cool idk

celest zephyr
#

Yeah but Atlanta is more west than Quebec City lol

#

Which would have zero reason to be part of the western conference

#

Yeah msg looks dope

short flame
celest zephyr
#

Def the stadium i want to go to

#

Since I’ve been to scotia bank arena

#

The new isles arena looks cool

#

Tbh idk how much longer scotiabank arena is going to last

#

Yeah its ancient

#

First built in 1938

#

Then rebuilt in 1997 and reopened in 1999

robust grotto
#

Isles one does look really cool, I’ll have to visit eventually

short flame
#

one thing I don't like about montreal, the stadium from outside looks like any other building

#

inside is cool

dim kettle
#

The Leafs will get a new arena. I bet they saw what the Oilers got and want some of that too.

robust grotto
#

It does that’s so true lol

#

I actually love the little Montreal badge they have on the building though

celest zephyr
#

They for sure will

robust grotto
#

Like it’s waaaaaay up in the corner

celest zephyr
#

Idk what the raptors do tbh

dim kettle
#

Probably will go with them.

celest zephyr
#

Yeah that’s what i think

robust grotto
#

Leafs will yeah, and also the Jays one is right around the corner right? So they can maybe redo that section

celest zephyr
#

Scotiabnk gets demolished

#

Or repurposed

#

Jays yeah

dim kettle
#

Jays are really in need of a new one. Place looks so dark and depressing by the fall time.

celest zephyr
#

Idk that’d cost way too much

robust grotto
#

No they should keep it in that area for sure

celest zephyr
#

For sure

#

The jays arena is old

#

Toronto really has so many old buildings

#

That are like 50-100 years old

short flame

I took the little over city metro to get to the arena hahaha- in TOR

celest zephyr
#

Dang i got to go to a habs game some day

#

Really the only thing the Jays can be proud of with their current stadium is it isn't olympic stadium.

If the drive was doable I would have gone already but I would have to get a plane ticket

celest zephyr

Maybe months from now but def not so soon to going to leafs and raptors games

#

Oh yeah buffalo is far even from Toronto

short flame

I think it was 8 hours

I'm the biggest Bolts fan you'll know and even I say fuck that to the prices some of these tickets are.

celest zephyr

Something like that yeah

I have family in toronto to spend the night but getting there is far

Oddly enough my cousin might be going to Quebec soon

celest zephyr

Oh yeah some leafs fans go to Columbus, since its way cheaper there

#

My old history teacher in high school even went once during the school year
