How many NHL fans do we have here? (3 Viewers)

Canadians, it's been awhile now... Honest thoughts on changing the words to your National Anthem?

Also, if everyone is in the bubble, why do some people like trainers, off ice officials and cameramen still wear masks? Aren't they all tested daily?

Changing the words to the anthem was stupid, just another PC knee-jerk reaction in a long line of them.

I've wondered the same with the mask thing, pretty sure it's all just political/social virtue signaling. Now that politics and social justice crap has entered hockey, my interest in it has died a lot. The last thing I care about when watching hockey is anything that's not hockey.

That was my thought too... But then I wondered if I was being a boorish, non-woke American and momentum for the change had been building for awhile...

Well I’m a boorish non woke Canadian so take what I say with a grain of salt (ok, maybe the whole salt shaker)

I propose a good 'ol avatar bet. Two weeks. Winner chooses loser's avatar for an entire two weeks. What say you @k9dr and @WedgeRock ?
 
WedgeRock said:
So avatar bets humiliate the losing player... I like @k9dr and don't want to humiliate him when the Islanders win in 5... I was thinking about a custom chip bet, though...

Custom chip bet sounds good :tup: Isle be happy to add your chips to my collection after the Lightning sweep :cool
 

I half-expected Kiviranta to score on the OT after he tied it LOL, but Gurianov sealed the deal. The Stars are such a clutch team, gotta love it! :LOL: :laugh:
 
Woke up just in time to see the third period... One down, three to go! :D

Also, FWIW, the Isles have a rush app that connects Islanders fans to "watch" the game together... The main design of the app is a chat, which I don't participate in because it's mostly 20-30 year olds, I would guess.

But the app also has a betting feature. You start the game with 100 points and during the game, they ask questions and you can wager your points...Questions may be trivia or may be game related (who will win the opening faceoff, what will be next, offsides or icing, etc). Its always a two-option multiple choice. There are 1-2 bonus question before the game and between each period (doesn't cost anything to wager and you get 50 points if you are correct). And if you are ever out of chips (or have them all wagered) you get a free wager that pays 10 chips if you bet correctly.

The top 10 places get Islanders gear (first is a jersey, but also t-shirts and hats). Sixth through tenth place get a Mystery Prize.

I've run this app maybe 10 times while watching a game. I typically finish anywhere from 100-400th place, but tonight, I finished 8th! My Mystery Prize should be delivered in 3-4 weeks.

I consider myself to be fairly progressive on most social issues, but found it absolutely unnecessary to alter the words to the anthem. Granted it's not the first time it's been done, but still.
 
Starting to enjoy hockey. Just wish there was a NHL team closer than Dallas or St. Louis. Both over a 6 hour drive.

Did the zamboni drive over a player?

It was leaking hydraulic fluid and that ignited. Have to say kind of shocked the propane lines/tank didn’t catch as well. There are videos and the shocking part is the driver shut off whatever and drove off the ice. No injuries!!!
 
I think I may have mentioned it before because somehow I'm still subbied here but I'm an NHL fan (favorite teams are Flyers, Red Wings, Kings and Lightning) and an AHL fan too (I had two season ticket passes to the Reign and was working on a third when the Sweet and Sour Sickness put the kibosh on that.)

Life long Sabres fan but a die hard hockey and NHL fan in general. It's really the only sport that does it for me. Had season tickets the last 5 years and did not renew this past season due to my team sucking ass for forever and the complications due to the virus. I'm dying for hockey. My whole life feels out of wack because of the lack of hockey and this new world we're living in. Hockey over the summer was a blast I must say, very weird but awesome at the same time, even without the fans. All I know is, I'm ready :)
