Who really knows. But there's certainly a history of the NHL playing games outside of North America in any case.

Plus, there's that huge Chinese market they can get a piece of.

I'm still stoked by the Chinese play-by-play from this past SCF. Definitely a good sign.

NHL needs to get the Japan market though...

you would also need a billion weird floating texts in the screen scrolling from everywhere, and a box with people in a studio reacting to the game

I'd take that over what we have now.

Japan is weird when it comes to ice hockey. They have two teams in Hokkaido but none of them are in Sapporo. A city with over a million people (maybe close to two if I remember corectly) but no hockey team. The other Japanese pro teams are in the northern half of Honshu. These best Japanese teams play in a small league that is comprised of teams from Glorious Nippon, Worst Korea, Communist China, and Don Cherry's favorites Russia.

Lol

I wish I new that quote about honor that gets used all the time on Gaf.

Edit: ^that's amazing

 

[PillarEN]

TSN all star Jaime McLennan used to be goalie for one of the teams, so was Ottawa Senators dream killer Derek Plante.

Hey Marcie have you started The Division yet? I did and it's really fun so far

 

[MetatronM]

I hope Jimmy Vesey gets a hat trick in Buffalo tonight. Follow Nasher's lead, Jimmy! Go full heel on your sorta former team!

 

[MultiJhonny]

Some news on a possible game in China. Dreger warning though.

From Reddit: "Why not just play in Richmond?"

Spoiler

Richmond is a suburb of Vancouver where the largest ethnic group is Chinese.

Yeah, the Asian League is really weird in how tiny it is. Nearly every team (outside of two) play in a small city in equally tiny arenas that barely fit 2,000 most of the time. Like the biggest city has like 10 million plus (Harbin in China) and has the biggest arena in the league (somewhere around 5,000), yet it's home to the league's biggest punching bag.

I'd love for the NHL to play preseason games in Worst Korea, but they don't have an arena worth playing in unlike in China or Japan.

That sounds at least 4 million times better than eddie olczyk.

I'll watch the trailers after they are uploaded. The awards themselves are pointless.

 

[zroid]

OMG Overdrive couldn't find a golf analyst to come on and talk about Tiger Woods so they got some rando who works at a Golf Town to do it :lol :lol

he was actually pretty good xD

Anyone going to watch the game awards tonight?

you'd have to pay me to watch that garbage

 

[Yawnier]

Anyone going to watch the game awards tonight?

Is that the Doritos Pope thing? I'll think I'll pass

No, the last I watched was a dumpster fire.

 

[RedRum]

So.. this captain ballot vote really needs more John Scott.

Because he most closely represents your talent level in EASHL?

As well as your ability to win faceoffs.

is it just me or have there been a lot of garbo stadium/arena names recently? not just in hockey

 

[MetatronM]

Everybody plays everywhere on this team. The order is all but irrelevant.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

Not looking forward to mcdavids 5 put night tonight. Oilers embarrassed last game, coach reams them next day at practice all indications of them playing week tonight sadly.

 

[zroid]

Malkin pls

 

[MetatronM]

There we go, there are some boos for Vesey.

 

[megachao24]

Pens get a power play, loses it in nine seconds. LOL Letang.

 

[megachao24]

Cole scores. Stars continue to suck on non 5-on-5 situations on the road.

EDIT: And then Johns scores.

 

[zroid]

what a goal lmao

 

[MutFox]

Got free tickets to the Canucks/Ducks game tonight...
My GF is busy with a project... :|

Trying to find an person to go... Ugh...

 

[MetatronM]

That's a pretty soft hooking call, but it's probably a makeup for letting a couple of pretty obvious Buffalo penalties go in the last few minutes.

 

[Pikma]

Hey lamaroooo. Get your ass to tittyfall 2.

Why do you ignore me 😢😢😢😢
