NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Battle of Alberta like it's 1989, apparently.

Update on ASU/Coyotes logos. The Coyotes logo will be on the ice (where was not stated), but the ASU logo cannot be digitally suppressed during Coyotes broadcasts.

This is going to be more fun than the Orioles/Nationals dispute over MASN.

Assuming ASU has sponsors for the usual four spots at center ice, the only other spot would be behind the net since they’re going to tv ads at the blue line now.

Panthers got shocked there.

[SonofSouthie]

Tampa sure do seem to crank it up for the playoffs.

I do believe for all intents and purposes this series is ovah.

[SonofSouthie]

Bowness says adios.

Defense stayed home again in Calgary. And a quick whistle stopped another goal for Edmonton.

US is closer to the knockout round for the IIHF worlds after an OT win against Sweden. They’re five points up on the two teams tied for fifth, but Norway has a game in hand and still plays the US for a chance at direct points.

Has anyone found what they’re going to do with Russia and Belarus when they’re (eventually, I’d assume) reinstated to the IIHF? Do they slot them into their current level and just expand the tournament or do double relegation that year, or are they going to make them start at Division IV and destroy everyone for multiple years like they did with Slovakia in the 90s?

It's going to be a long time before we need to worry about that.

Is Serbia any good? They may end up in that category. Kazakhstan may too.

Serbia is 30th and was relegated to Division 2A after finishing last in 1B this year.

Really Slovenia is the only decent former Yugoslavian hockey country.

Slovenia - 19th and they'll be in the Championship division next year
Serbia - 30th and Division 2A next year after relegation
Croatia - 31st and Division 2A next year after finishing third in the division this year
Bosnia - 49th and relegated to Division IV next year after finishing last in division 3B


Kosovo, Montenegro, and North Macedonia don't have teams.

Kadri collides with binnington. Binnington leaves game.

I'm not a Kadri fan, so I'm pretty annoyed with Blues fans getting me to defend him.

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

Yeah blues and their fans can pound sand. Binnington needs a pacifier and a nap.

hopefully series winner loses to Canadian finalist

I do believe for all intents and purposes this series is ovah.

If it wasn't over after Game 2, it's definitely over after the clinic Tampa put on today.

Hmmm. Seems Evander Kane might be having the last laugh here.
