Brodeur>hasek>roy

This is undebatable

its going to take the league at least 5ish years to "recover" from this expansion draft

does Seattle have to pick between an nhl or nba team? Feel like they’d want nba if so

prime hasek is better than prime bordeur but overall you have to give it to brodeur

good morning and merry american christmas /hoc/

For me? It simply has to be "On Her Majesty's Secret Service."

for me its the few, the proud, the marines.

why would they only get one? arenas can handle both, dude.

(if) Step 1: Arena (finally checked this off a few weeks go) (then)
Step 2: Submit NHL expansion, then
Step 3: Put team on ice, then
Step 4: Fill arena, then
Step 5: Get NBA team

It's all habbening.

Probably not, over the past decade since the Sonics left, Seattle has grown by a shit ton. There's more than enough money to handle both NHL and NBA. They would also split revenue equally in the new arena.

the NBA won't be relocating or expanding any time soon even if they keep saying they do. It will be a good decade before expansion happens. Meanwhile, the day after the new Arena MOU passed, the NHL opened the expansion process for just Seattle. a day later, the Seattle ownership group sent their bid in. The writing is on the wall, Seattle is getting the 32nd team barring some apocalyptic disaster.

morning sverige. what did you get for christmas?

Hopefully the return of rightful Swedish clay

there isnt even anybody pushing for the team. in comparison to foley who was going out every opportunity he had to say he wanted to get a team in the new arena in vegas.

>barring some apocalyptic disaster.

mornin' Canada.
We don't do presents in my family that much anymore, since all there are adults and it's hard to find good gifts that people wish for. Everyone just buys one $10 gift that gets handed out using a lottety. I got some nice asian food stuffs, pretty good. Then I won a quiz game in a quiz..
What are you hoping to get today?

>hur dur Die Hard is a Christmas movie

reddit make like a tree and get out of here

absolutely based.
queerbec shitty will never get a team.

This user is on the trolley.

>nobody pushing for a team
What city are you talking about? Seattle has been trying to get this shit done since the Sonics left, and if the NBA expands, Vegas can apply like everywhere else.

This is a hockey thread, and Seattle is gonna be 32, unless Trump taunts a country that doesn't even have the internet, into nuking Seattle. We've been over this.

i feel you on that, all members of my family are also adults. we do a draw a month or so before to find out who you are getting a gift for. i have to give a gift to my sister, am getting one from my dad. previously he has got hockey tickets so he could go to the game with me, am hoping for that again. its more a gift for him, but whatever haha

There actually is. There's an ownership group already in place, headed up by Jeremy Bruckhiemer and David Bonderman. This ownership group has partnered with OVG, headed up by Tim Leiweke, the same guys who just fixed the Islanders arena woes and who have built many other arenas for NHL teams. Like I said, the NHL opened up expansion to only Seattle a few weeks ago and Seattle has already sent the bid in. Bettman wants in, he's wanted in for a long time. It's no secret.

The Stanley Cup recently toured Seattle for a day, with lines numbering in the thousands. A season ticket drive will start in January and will likely prove very profitable as well. While the NBA fans have been very vocal about getting a team, their noise has overshadowed a silent majority that have always wanted an NHL team in Seattle.

Why would anyone be against Seattle getting a team? It’s the next logical city.
Houstonlets don’t even @ me

>hur dur Die Hard is a Chirstmas movie

Yes. What are you sperging out about.

This.
>sonicsrising.com

Sup Forums isn't a great place to get one's news, so maybe a bunch of anons missed how Bettman has pretty much stated we'll see one expansion team and one relocation, with the former going to Seattle and the latter going to Houston.

The owner of the Rockets blocked the NHL for the longest time, but that asshole finally sold, so H-Town is a go.

the nhl isnt going to be able to handle another expansion draft for at least another 5+ seasons. the talent pool will be too thin. every team already has several ahl quality players in their bottom 6, the league shouldnt be adding 20ish more plugs.
its not even close to being >soon.

Alright, that's a pretty good way to go about it too, only having to worry about one gift.
Haha, that's the smart way of doing it. Getting something you benefit from yourself as well!
I hope you'll have a nice day!

>The owner of the Rockets blocked the NHL for the longest time, but that asshole finally sold, so H-Town is a go.
why would they just suddenly like hockey there? just because houston is a bigtown, they are bound to be able to fill an arena?

>he thinks the NHL is going to stand at 31 for five seasons

I got something for you.

based pissedmess evenings

it's funny, Sonicsrising is basically a hockey blog now.

>user, they can't like hockey, they don't have a team!
>but we don't have a team, so how would anyone know if they like hockey
>but they don't like hockey, or else they'd have a team
>but they don't have a team, so they must not like hockey

I know you're Canadian so would you like to borrow my gun to kill yourself.

thanks man, you too!

...

the nhl already put a team in a large, southern city with no connection to hokkei and the panthers have basically the worst attendance in the league. literally worse than the coyotes when miami is like 4 times the size of phoenix.
you can even make a similar argument with atlanta.
why is this going to be different?

not that i want to see another southern market get a team, but miami is like a freak outlier in terms of sports support. the whole SE states outside of NCAA sports are like this

...

Why are talking about adding more teams when there are teams we can just remove?
arizona
carolina
panthers
Then just move around some of the other failing ones

why was the houston rockets owner alright with an ahl team in his arena, but not an nhl team?

why does the plane look so sad

Do sunbelts lose braincells because all the sunshine is melting their heads?

I lose braincells the way anyone else does
Excessive alcohol consumption

1. Well, they moved over from the old arena, and then moved/sold, so I'm gonna say he wasn't making any money on them.

>sunbelters are degenerate alcoholics
Good to know

>Still no Finnish posters this morning

maybe they all died

Accumulated 20k karma in the last 6 hours on r/hockey

honestly would not be shocked if that whole nation drank itself to death

What is the exchange rate from Reddit karma to (You)s?

20k (you)'s

>get new arena
>aeros sold, move to iowa
>comets fold despite 4 titles

Les Alexander did not give a FUCK.

The current market exchange for a (You) is 2561 Reddit upboats

Got given 8 Reddit gold's also

i’m rich boys

personally cant wait for another nhl team.
the league needs more tom kuhnhackls, lance boumas, brendan gaunces, matt cullens, etc.

Is "thank you kind friend!" a good response to be given Reddit gold?
