zuesSaw the highlights of the bruins. Rask is unreal. It looks like i accidently paid for NHL on Ice without meaning to so I'll definitely be watching more AVS games. Fucking islanders let me down again last night.
1337Bruins games have been ELECTRIC the last few days. Wicked fun to watch.
YungLunchboxbo horvat might be the most underrated player in the nhl
Chron_Rabbitimagine just loving patrick kane and wanting him to succeed, then he gets like 5 chances to score in a 1-1 game and cant put one home lol

This is the dumbest fucking article I've ever had the displeasure of reading. Ken Dryden is great, but come on you were literally in the show you should know better than this. Forwards, goalies, and the game as a whole have evolved along with each other. Look at how teams move the puck now, how they skate, and how fucking sick their stick handling is. And saying goalies don't have to get off their knees at all anymore is fucking ignorant. I really expected better from a hof goalie but that was too much to ask for.
zuesI looked at the title read the first paragraph and I'm fucking done.
Being a goalie in hockey is probably the hardest position in sports aside from being a QB. You're constantly fighting to keep your crease. You got your team and the other team constantly banging you. You're trying to stop something that's 3 inches in Diameter that can be going 100 MPH. You're squatting the whole fucking game. You're constantly needing to rehydrate to keep from sweating to death. If you give up a soft goal you feel like shit. COMEON NOW
hdubsIt's not even that he's complaining that people are scoring from too close to the net. Then he goes on to admit himself that it's still like that in basketball despite implementation of the three point line. I just get the feeling he hasn't watched a single hockey game in the last decade or two. Just absolute fucking amount of puck movement there is in a game is insane, and he's over here acting like people are chopping at the net the entire game.

zuesBig game tonight boys.
Butterytips69Islanders suck donkey balls. Let's go Rangers!

zuesIt’s funny. I got rangers tickets at least once a month from my company. Literally 50% or more of the ppl in MSG are suits. Asshole hedgefund workers who have no actual interest in the sport. The rangers fan base is the worst in the NHL. You won’t change my mind.
-olivesits not. its just harder for the regular dude to pay for a seat when they're all being priced for business. you've got the entire tri-state area and your gonna tell me they don't have a solid fan base? kind of crazy. i grew up with plenty of die hard ranger fans. we're here, just disappointed in the last few seasons.
what about the panthers? they got a better fan base? fuck no.
zuesI'm biased because I don't like the rangers. I just could never be a fan of a team that prices their tickets at such insane prices. I guess thats why I'm a Mets fan too.
Do you live in the city area? I lived in Stamford for a while and would always be at Isles and Mets games.

-olivesoh no shit! im from new canaan. been up in vermont the last few years for school/work. grew up playing at all those rinks, small world.
zuesThe rangers fan base is the worst in the NHL. You won’t change my mind.
zuesRight on. I'm from Trumbull. REPRESENTING. I used to live on Hope Street not far from those rinks in New Canaan. Did you play at Chelsea piers at all?
-olivesyessir, mainly during midgets. those locker rooms have the nicest showers in Fairfield county no joke.
i actually went up to jay peak last week and was able to throw my skates on for the first time since my last practice my senior year! felt pretty darn good!
zuesI miss skating quite a bit I haven’t had a chance to go this year at all. And yea Chelsea Piers is the shit !
-olivesget on out there man! only thing that comes close to skiing for me.

Butterytips69Dude ticket prices are fucked. My family's had season tickets since wayyy before I was born but we had to get rid of them because they were so expensive. Tried telling the people to give us a break but they were basically like no fuck you loyal fans we want more money from a rich guy who goes to one game a season.
zuesI mean having an arena in the middle of NYC is badass. I'm jealous of that, but because of it they literally charge you a mortgage payment for a ticket on a fucking Tuesday against a team like the flames. It's insane.
On a side note it will be nice to see fans back in the stands.... albeit only 10% capacity.
I'm hearing if you want Knicks tickets for 20 home games the cheapest package is $100,000.... If anyone listens to Carton and Roberts on WFAN they were talking about it yesterday. I almost shit my pants after i learned they were serious.
-olivesi was also gonna mention Knicks games and shit before too. same white collar crowd. its not the rangers fanbase, it's just the market there. (im gonna stop being butthurt about you calling our fanbase lame)

hdubsI fucking love the Chelsea Piers rink over there. Y'all are lucky you have so many rinks so close all the time
zuesWhere ya from m8?
Its crazy how many people on this site are from the Tristate area
hdubsI'm from California, but all of my cousins live in the Northeast. The entirety of my mom's side lives in New Canaan actually so I've been there quite a bit. I also went to a hockey camp at the pier like 5 years ago
zuesRight on. Chelsea Piers is a blast. Stamford in general is a cool city besides the fact that its insanely expensive. Got a buddy paying 2400 a month for a brand new one bedroom. Everyone's moving out of NYC.

-olivesalways cool to hear the hometown name drop! only rink in new canaan is outdoors, smaller than regulation, and private. but yeah like you said they’re everywhere else.
.frenchylol love that the tahoe game got PPD because of the warm sun. stop having it in stupid places and bring it up north again

BrandoComandoIdk what they expected. It’s always warm here. Of course it would thaw in the sun. Idk why they didn’t light it up and play at night
YungLunchboxyou follow sean avery on insta or something?
-olivessean averys insta is randomly entertaining. the man really just does his own thing.
