I have a few thoughts about the media rights deals if the NHL does business soon: - No more blackouts. Non-negotiable. That includes local blackouts and NHL Network exclusive games - The NHL app (similar to NFL app) needs a way to login to your ESPN and TNT subscriptions so you can watch games in one place - World Juniors rights need to be acquired by one of these partners - Amazon Prime deal needs exposure to the US. Missing Thursday night Coast to Coast makes no sense to American hockey fans - NHL needs more games on linear ESPN and ABC - If a WBD/Paramount deal goes through NHL needs to have games on both Paramount+ and CBS Some simple fixes go a long way. The play for the NHL should not be max revenue, but max reach. Their highest viewed games trail the NFL, NBA, and MLB significantly Owners and League only care about $$ though. I think having a third streaming partner (Prime, Netflix, Apple TV) would also be of value in the current climate But it’s mostly just making sure it’s easy to watch all the games in one place. That’s all fans truly care about

@StephieSmallls You know you’re about to buy them

i beg your pardon. these pants you all have are 228 dollars?

@leafsnlifts Talk Friday 🫡

@leafsnlifts Damn are we beefing now

Real ones know Ray’s Cafe is THE breakfast spot in Sea Girt. Shoutout John White and his dad, the mayor of the shore.

The Colorado Avalanche have lost 3 straight games to the Vegas Golden Knights. Makar isn’t 100% healthy. MacKinnon isn’t 100%. Nichushkin is a GTD. The Avs are making a goalie swap. Vegas is at home tonight. The Avs are still -115 favorites tonight. Unreal.

To promote this as an Olympics rematch is nasty work. The USA didn’t send anyone of substance besides Matthew Tkachuk. Canada has some guys but come on.

Do hockey fans in the US even know the Memorial Cup is going on and/or are actively watching it? The NHL (or any hockey entity) does absolutely 0 promotion in the States for this tournament.

Boomer just TORCHED Abdul Carter: “Only one man was on that call, and it was Jaxson Dart.”😳

If you break your stick and it’s an icing, you shouldn’t be allowed to get a new one before the faceoff.

Makar taking warmies 👀

@Majorleaguemadd American Whiskey. @HooshParty is the best

Beyond excited to announce I have joined the @PuckPedia team! Here is the first edition of Breeze’s Bulletin, which will be a recurring piece of news, notes and takes on U.S. hockey media — this time covering Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. 🔗 puckpedia.com/news/breezes-b…

@MikeBartner Totally disagree. There are teams who would peg him as lottery pick value. 22 years old. Right-handed defenseman. Offensive ceiling to be your PP1 QB for years to come. Half the league needs that.

AI graphic aside (BUF logo with the Devil horns popping out?), I would've loved to give up the COL 1st for Nemec, but Darche would be out of his mind to give up 13th overall. Nemec ain't got lottery pick value anymore.

For those who don’t speak Slovak

Why is the NHL able to live stream these IIHF World Championship games for free on YouTube but they can’t do that for the World Juniors

@NHLAlumni This must be Wayne Gretzky

Can you Guess the Alumni? 👤

Josh must’ve heard Brian Burke’s repeated references at Sloan

Lamppost was my hockey model’s name during MannyElk’s modeling contest back in 2017

‘The McKenna Project’ drops tonight on TNT & HBO after ECF Game 1. Very happy to be involved in this. It’s so good. This kid is special.
