Running 2022-23 NHL thread

Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 making an appearance was awesome.

Well done, Avs.

Mark Hoppus looks like that now? What's my age again?







(Yes, I know he had cancer. It's for the bit.)

Matt Murray gives up 4 on 22 in his first start, then yanks his groin in the morning skate today.

Neither of these things are surprising.

Watching my first game this season and I noticed they are letting TV run its own ads on the board. So in some shots, you see an ad aimed at viewers wrapping all around the rink and in others you see the ads that are actually on the boards.

They have been doing this on local Rangers broadcasts on MSG. ... It's all MSG sponsors along the boards. They had already been putting up computer-generated ads up above the goals on the top of the glass for the past few seasons. Now they are doing it along the boards, too. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Every once in a while, when they switch from one camera angle to the next, you get a split-second where the computer-generated ads disappear and you can see what is really along the boards.

I noticed this in yesterday’s marathon MLB postseason game in Seattle. Ad slogans kept magically appearing on the side of the pitcher’s mound.

What’s Hoppus’ connection to Denver? He’s a San Diego dude. Blink-182 played at my soon to be ex’s high school in RB.

I believe "All the Small Things" became a cherished singalong during the playoff run.

Great play by Dylan Larkin to force OT

Love this

Sorry to pick nits. Great play obviously, but it didn’t force OT.

Yes it did because after Larkin’s play Wings went back down and scored before losing in OT

The goal forced OT

The goal forced OT

Not if Larkin doesn’t knock the puck away
It’s 5-3 then

Puck drop at 8:47 local time on a Wednesday in October. Good thing the live gate doesn’t matter in this league.

Ok we’re splitting hairs here but Larkin did not force OT. Larkin makes OT possible, but Sundstrom’s goal (I think that’s who scored anyway) forces OT.

Apparently the deal is that the advertisers who paid for space on the physical boards get at least some digital representation. Otherwise there’s no way I’d expect Vanderbilt Medical Center and the Tennessee Lottery to have virtual ads in rotation on a national broadcast.
