In terms of NHL arenas in Canada:

Bell has two (Montreal, Winnipeg)
Rogers has two (Vancouver, Edmonton)
Scotiabank now has two (Calgary, Toronto)
Canadian Tire has Ottawa

 

[Zombie James]

How about... Maple Leaf Gardens (with "by scotiabank" right underneath in 6pt font).

 

[dr.rocktopus]

The name sucks but so did Air Canada Centre. It's just a change from what we're used to. People in outrage over the loss of "tradition" in the FB comments are hilarious considering it's only been 20 years and nothing of worth was ever won there outside of some funny looking World Cups. I did like the variety from the typical Rogers/Bell branding but oh well.

We're a long way from Maple Leafs Gardens, The Forum, Cow Palace, etc. The Joe was our last hope :'(

 

[Pikma]

Wouldn't that group be sourced by GAF? Strange

Another 17 minutes and you guys will be praising MLSE

Probably people who keep their mouths shut and avoid OT so they don't get banned

there was a #politics channel and the only few posts it had were just "#MAGA" again and again by a couple different users

Played through What Remains of Edith Finch last night. Highly recommended. One of my favourites of the year so far. Only a 2-2.5 hour time investment.

@scottcwheeler

The Leafs could buy 27 NHL teams with their arena naming rights deal.

The path to the cup?

 

[DopeyFish]

holy shit

apparently this is basically at least double of any naming right deal in north america?

MetLife had the largest at $450 million over 25 years
AT&T and Citigroup had the largest per year value at $400 million at 20

this is $800 million over 20

So if you go to a Leafs game, can you also do your banking business there?

😜😜

Yes, anytime you deposit $12 you get a free beer.

Well sort of, you'd still have to drink a Canadian.

 

[Yawnier]

It feels like half the arenas in this country have had the Scotiabank name to it at one point or another.

Meh, name is whatever. It has a weird ring to me right now but I'll get used to it.

I agree, great game. Definitely not for everyone tho.

 

[Socreges]

Do you think it's any worse than Air Canada Centre?

It sounds like an arena named after a corporation. They're all 'necessary' evils and sound equally stupid.

 

[ElephantShell]

Yeah it's a bunch of connected short stories basically. The overarching narrative is like a walking simulator but some of the stories are like mini games with simple mechanics.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

If I go to the Scotiabank Arena I better get some damn Scene Points.


Also I bought Yakuza Kiwami today

 

[zroid]

eeewwwwww Scotiabank arena

not that air Canada centre was any better but at least "ACC" was a fine abbreviation. SBA doesn't have the same ring to it

This was in the press release... dunno what it even means

"•Scotiabank and MLSE will collaborate with SCENE to develop fan-centered promotions for sports and entertainment enthusiasts"

Watch a hockey/ basketball game, get scene points enough for two movies. That's how I'd do it for Scene Points.

 

[Cake Boss]

Sad Boy Arena is the perfect name for it, on so many levels.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

New Predators #'s:
Arvidsson: 33
Gaudreau: 89
Kamenev: 91
Bonino: 13
Hartnell: 17

Arvy stealing Wilson's number now that he's gone. I approve.

Did Peter Holland get signed by the Habs? Did I miss that?

 

[zroid]

Him and Byron Froese on the same day lol

 

[CreeperBlocks]

He's going to be great for Laval.

The more I think about it, Laval Rockets have a pretty good AHL team on paper.

 

[Yawnier]

Peter Lolland and Byron Froese will save les Habs

Doesn't the coach suck booty though? Get rid of him and you might have a solid farm team.

Watch Holland and Froese both score on the Leafs this season, at least once. Probably a game winner each.

RE : what the Avs want for Duchene :

Know they have tried. Avs want big return: 1st rounder, quality young defenseman, proven NHLer and top prospect. Murray? Jenner?

Sakic is out of his mind, Duchene is a very good player. He's not that good.

 

[DopeyFish]

wtf lol

He wants that for 2 years of duchene? He is mad.

That's almost enough to turn a cup contender into a bottom feeder

^ this

Also I called a CBJ trade for Duchene a few days ago in Discord. I doubt that's the ask at this point. Take away the first rounder and you're a lot closer to reality.

The great thing about shopping a guy you don't have to trade is that you don't really have to bargain. He'd be crazy to give anyone a deal, he'd be crazy to not try to come out on top of any trade.

He'd be crazy to let him rot in camp and let his value deteriorate. He obviously wants value which is fair, but Duchene isn't worth that much and the longer he remains an Av, the more his value deteriorates.

Duchene never asked for a trade. That's the assumption you're making here. If a trade doesn't happen and he walks, he walks. Little indication he wants to.

I would rather offer sheet Pastarnak than give up that much.
