    Jets break 10 game losing skid. JFC. It's hard enough getting cheap winnipeggers to spend the money on going to these games, they are now in desperation mode. I got a call from their office asking if there was anything they could offer me to get me to buy tickets. 
    That’s really surprising. I thought they had good attendance. 
    it's a small barn (13,000+), and their business model seems to have been based on it being sold out every single game. And it was, for the first 5-7 years. Then it started to wane. It's still nearly full, but they need it to be full. I was considering going to the game Friday (where they finally won), and the amount of resellers on there was staggering. People dumping tickets left and right. 

    Bad/meaningless NHL hockey is a dreadful entertainment product in 2026.  

    And a lot of the regular season is bad/meaningless now, even for 'good' teams.

    Usually two teams trying to tie to get a free point. Stupid bullshit. Again, Bettman is the devil.

    Sabres/Lightning game is a bloodbath.  Biggest game in Buffalo in 15+ years

    There's like a 3% chance I'm partying with the Rangers and Livvy Dunne tonight lol.

    Drew Fortescue is making his Rangers debut tonight. He's a New York kid, finally something good to come out of Pearl River lol.

    My aunt took care of him at her day care, and my cousin played high school hockey with him.

    Dunne is part of the larger circle. She's from Jersey, and knows some of these kids too.

    She's in town. She watched the Mets light up her bf yesterday lol.

    And we're supposedly having drinks with some Rangers after the game tonight. We'll see.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    Might be fun, despite potentially having to socialize with Rangers.

    Torts to Vegas 😳

    I haven’t followed him closely but it seems he can coach a bit, sometimes makes me laugh and inevitably wears out his welcome. How many places has he coached, anyway?

    Yeah makes no sense, but Vegas seems to have their own way. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

    Vegas is not good this season and in danger of missing out on the playoffs completely.  They have an impulsive owner.

    I do think with a few exceptions, head coaches in the NHL are not a big deal and they are interchangeable.  Buttons to press to motivate players.
