Wasn’t sure where to post this or i even should but I though it was a nice gesture worth sharing here goes , my 13 year sons teammate passed away this summer from a stroke , he had been in rehab for multiple months after suffering one stroke in March , great kid , nice family.

Overall it is a pretty shitty story but this week after being contacted by a family friend EA sports decided to create a card/player and added to the NHL 21 game .so now all his teammate and family an play with him ., nice gesture from EA and can maybe somehow help the family cope .

ESPN and the NHL have reached a 7 year deal:

Not sure if this is a good thing...

Only with the old theme music and a prime Gary Thorne

I was wondering how ESPN+ would factor in and just assumed those assholes would take the games normally on NBCSN and force you to subscribe..... I wonder if the "1000+ games on ESPN+" means it's replacing Center Ice/NHL.tv?

Well, reddit seems to think NHL.tv is dead... if ESPN+ sticks around $5-10/month, it's a win for the price difference.

Espn has completely buried the nhl the last couple years and have constantly hyped the nba. I wonder if this will change that. I doubt it.

JFC the Blues can't get anything in the net lately... Wow!

Vlad's return seems to be the kiss of death as it relates to scoring!

Such a weird goal in the frozen four tournament yesterday....

That was funny, without the other angle, you never would've known how it went in.
Here's a similar one from Saturday night. It initially looks like he tips the puck in with his glove, then comes another angle:

Ryan O'Reilly is pretty good.

NHL adds TNT and TBS to its new tv deal along with ESPN
https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-turner-...bs/c-324075352

This move might mean that the NHL gets a higher national billing than Women's college badminton. Not too shabby. TNT should hire Don Cherry & Jeremy Roenick as an analysts. They're both available.
