  1. Or you can bring a negative covid test. I assume test must be performed within 72 hours of the game you have tickets for.
  2. Third game in 4 nights, 2nd of b2b, mile high city. Opponent top team in the West. I expected nothing more.
  3. THIS. It's one thing to apply a personal feeling to the team. I have no issue with that. But it's the assertive statement as to how the PLAYERS are thinking/feeling that get me. Unless you're sitting in the locker room with them, it's all conjecture with zero evidence.
  4. I'm impressed by how many fans that post have their doctorate in psychology. They know how the players and management "think" and "feel" better than anybody.
  5. AHHH. The good old days. I partnered with someone for 4 seats year one. Went to 1/4 of the games. We sat in 202 or 203. Next year I was able to get 1/2 the season. After about 4 or 5 years I took over. But I wanted to sit on the other side of the arena, and 4 seats (aisle) became available in 216. So I had 4 seats in 202 and 4 seats in 216. Thankfully one of the original partners bought all the games in 202. Stayed in 216 for a long time, then moved up to the 300 level (aisle seats). We've been in section 314 for about 8 years now. I remember the puck flying back all the time. Thankfully we never got hit, but we saw plenty of people hit/injured.

    Lineups:

    I think it's a foregone conclusion this year is over as far as the playoffs go (I don't care what BM says). Maybe they want a look at the "kids" (even though Letter is 26). I can't remember who said it last night (maybe Hazy), that Lettieri has the hardest shot on the team. Or the most lethal. Something to that effect. Maybe showcasing certain players for a possible trade. Rearrange the deckchairs if you will. At this point I've kind of checked out. I watch the games rooting for Zegras to score a goal or make a great pass. I feel bad for Gibson.

    Lineups:

    Grant=Signed to a 3yr deal in the offseason. He must be played come hell or high water. Only thing I can think of. Heinen=BM determined somehow to pull off a Heinen for Virtanen trade. Keeping him out to prevent injury. Otherwise ?????
  8. Karlsson played with the Ducks for one season (2014-15), played 18G and had 2G/1A for 3 points. I don't remember anyone being super excited about him, or being distraught over trading him. I may be wrong. He was a 2nd round pick (#53 overall) so there might have been some trepidation from fans that he my blossom elsewhere. I look at Terry, and see a kid drafted in the 5th round (#148 overall), who kinda has similar stats to Karlsson after 3 seasons (counting this one also). I don't think he'll be a 40G scorer, but my expectations aren't up there either considering his draft position. I do see flashes of what he may become one day, so I'm not ready to give up on him now. I think under better tutelage (I would be stunned if there aren't coaching changes this off season) he may surprise a lot of people.
  9. Every time I see posts about getting rid of Terry, visions of Wild Bill Karlsson pop into my head.
  10. Hope Calgary also hired an interpreter.
  11. I need to be educated. Seriously. I look at RNH and while a great C, I see a player that's going to want to get paid as this will be his last big contract. He'll want 7 years, and I have to think minimum 8M per year. I actually think he might get 9+ by someone. His playing age would be 28 thru 34 with the new contract. Going after Dubois was one thing (he'll be 23 this year), but I don't get going after RNH. Tell me why I'm wrong. Edit: IF we were one player away from a serious Cup run, then I get it.
  12. From Elliotte Friedman yesterday: "The Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks have looked at a multi-piece deal involving Danton Heinen and Jake Virtanen to try and make the money work. Could see the Ducks trying to get the Canucks to take Derek Grant‘s contract."
  13. I wouldn't let him go just yet. The G position is the last line of defense. Having an elite one is priceless imo, and Dostal may be that good. If the is worthy, then you'll have a repeat of the Andersen/Gibson situation.
  14. OK. Let's trade Comtois. It's posts like this that make my head explode.
  15. To be fair, the Gulls haven't exactly played the cream of the AHL crop. Yes, the Gulls are 6-0, but their opponents are 1-11-2 with 3 of their wins coming against Bakersfield (0-5). They play at Bakersfield tonight, home against Colorado (0-2-1) on Saturday, THEN play 3 games at Henderson (Vegas AHL team). Henderson is 4-0, with 17GF and 5GA. Those 3 games against Henderson will give us a better idea of how good the Gulls actually are.
  16. I try to be a cup half full person, but last night was pathetic. After 30 minutes we had 4 shots on goal. FOUR. That's abysmal and there's no excuse. I was totally bored watching them. I've been a SSH since day one, and all I was thinking was I'm glad I don't have to drive to the arena to watch this team play. I shook my head watching their 5 on 3 PP. Keep Zegras and Drysdale down with the Gulls. They're playing exciting hockey. They don't need to be exposed to the 💩show this team is right now.
  17. The fanbase would go apoplectic if Gibson was traded NOW. Someone just spitballing junk imo. Watching Dostal last night, the kid can play G. He may be the real deal, but he's going to have to prove himself with the big club. I can see him as the b/u next year if Miller retires. If he proves himself, then I see the Gibson/Andersen scenario repeating itself with Gibson/Dostal.
  18. Why would Kesler "retire" and forfeit $6.75M? Would you? He'll remain on LTIR and continue to collect his salary.
  19. Totally unfair. You're better than that Shadowduck. Turns out it wasn't Guillain Barre Syndrome (but he had to go to the Mayo Clinic to see a specialist to find that out), but that still doesn't take away from the tremendous hardship the affliction caused him and his family.
  20. What do I know. I thought the topic was about the Oakland A's pitching staff.
  21. I'm not going to get into NMC's, albatross contracts, etc. All I'm asking is can we let the last E.D go already? Vegas asked for Theodore in exchange for drafting Clayton Stoner. Otherwise, Vegas is taking either Manson or Silf. at the draft. I hate the hindsight 20/20 argument that we should have let Vegas have either player instead of losing Theodore too.
  22. Couldn't make the rescheduled date.
  23. He started for the Gulls last night.
