    OT - Happy Tax Day!

    Official 2018 Speculation Thread - Update - NHL says they are not participating

    OK, now that 2014 is over, let's start speculating about 2018 (just some fun to fill time until the league starts up again). For the sake of speculation, let's assume the NHL players go to S. Korea. What changes do you see? Obviously some of the old guard are out and there's any number of...

    OT: 50 Years Ago Today

    I wasn't alive at the time, but still thought it appropriate to start a thread. Since I don't have my own "where was I when Kennedy was shot" story, I'll tell my Dad's that I heard growing up: "I was driving an auto-parts delivery truck with no radio. I stopped at one dealership (he...

    OT: Jason Collins

    Becomes the first active player from any of the 4 major North American sports leagues to come out today. Could be interesting to see what, if any, impact it has on his off-season prospects, as he's a UFA now.

    OT: Internet Explorer

    Started a new job a few weeks back and we're restricted from installing anything on the laptops they give. Used Firefox for a long time then switched to Chrome when it got to be better than Firefox. Now back to being stuck with Internet Explorer and ready to throw the computer out the...

    Leafs to be American Owned

    Rumo(u)rs that an American investment firm is looking to buy out the Teacher's Pension Fund portion of MLSE, which would give the investment firm controlling stake of the team. I'm assuming the league would be none-too-happy about having the Leafs be non-Canadian owned, but given that it...

    So, a really weird goal just happened at the Charlotte Checkers vs. Hershey Bears AHL game. A player from each team were behind the Checkers net. A Checkers player tried to put the puck around, but it deflected off the Bears player, straight up in the air, and landed on the top of the net...

    Versus Multi-Game Nights

    Does anybody know how it's going to work when Versus has multiple games? For instance, tonight they have Boston/Mtl at 7.00 and Buffalo/Philly at 7.30 listed on the official schedule, but will only be showing the Boston/Mtl game. Anyone know if there's going to be an online option for the...

    Remaining Opponent Strength

    Was looking at the remaining schedule and decided to run a few numbers based on how strong the remaining opponents are for each team. Not real scientific, but thought it might be interesting when trying to gauge chances of moving up or down in the standings. P% = Point % GR = Games...

    OT - Ticketmaster

    How on Earth does this company manage to not get slapped with a million lawsuits and regulatory penalties? I was trying to buy tickets to the Charlotte Checkers vs. Portland Pirates AHL game (gotta go check out the future of the Sabres while they're in town) and they wanted me to pay $39+ to...
