Just wanna say that Jack Michaels had a really stupid comment about Nuge at the start of game during the broadcast. I know everyone LOVES Jack Michaels and he can do no wrong but it was really dumb. He said Nuge is “not the best Oiler, but he is well-liked.” Absolutely no need to say “not the best Oiler.” Should’ve just said Nuge is “well-liked.” BAKA

>>153057742Oilers L10 games>5 - 3 - 2Bolts L10 games>9 - 0 - 1I rest my case.
>>153057742do you watch the games with your eyes open or just shitpost on here and check the score?
>>153057893>just shitpost on here and check the scorethis is 95% of /hoc/
>>153057943I actually watch games...I was fucking losing it with how badly the Sens choked on Saturday.Like dude. These fuckers had the game but their goalie just had to spill his spaghetti.It was a embarrassment.
>>153058010he absolutely deserved to get called out after the game, taboo or not
>>153057872If mcgayvid walked tomorrow the oilers would be ranked 1 in depth scoring but bottom in star power knobcuck needs to lose big pieces to be forced to play talent
knights play tomorrow bros
>>153057893I watch my team and every now and then I'll watch a game that /hoc/ is excited about like Habs or Avs or whatever other team is popular here. There are too many teams and games for me to keep up. To top it all off, I can't see the puck.

what if gary was one of us~just a goy like one of us

>>153058620not surprised all the swedes here are gay fags kek
>>153058615i remember mocking my gf that had a blackberry still in 2012
>>153058615Oh, I know about the many attempts Jim Balsillie made to relocat a few nhl teams to Hamilton and how it made him look like a fucking retard.
>>153058615They aren't good choices because they're extremely far from everywhere that isn't MTL or Ottawa or sparsely populated and right next to Toronto. They already don't want more Canadian teams, let alone one that will compete directly with existing franchises (especially ones that have failed like Quebec, too)
>>153058622KWAST
>>153058568If you're sticking another team in Ontario you have to put it in Toronto.
>>153058675You can act like the >laffs don't exist, but they do.
>>153058698there are 10 million people in the metro area dude. You can easily support a second team lol. Just not in one of the adjacent shit towns because there is no transit and they're far enough away people wouldn't commute.
>>1530586555 billions would bring a bore-ball team to montréalits just a cash money gamehey if someone has 2 billions around they could get predacants, east canada still a bigger hoc market than nashvilleexisting hasbs and >laffs fans in the area would make the switchgranted hamilton is too close to morontogranted people are scared of le big dicked french canadian when he's drunk
>>153058717jesus christ frog speak english.
>>153058698Nah, it's the truth. No matter where you stick a team you're market is filled with braindead >laffs fans. If you go too far south you'll also get Red Wings or Sabres fans. If you go too far northeast you'll run into Montreal or the mythical Snes fans. The best play is to go straight for Toronto and prey on either A) all the people that live in Toronto and hate the >laffs (pic related) or B) jeets that are looking to consoom and can't get >laffs season tickets. Territorial rights exist but I assume Bell was smart enough to get some kind of a waiver when they sold their share of the >laffs
>>153058726esl privileges budmy shit english is just fine to put a roof over my head and shitpost on /hoc/i use french for everything that matters (segs)

>>153057872>I can't wait for your retarded ass to vanish once McMeme walks and the team explodes.>You are by far my least favorite Swede here.He'll just change back to cheering for Calgary like he did a month ago.
>>153058746>assume Bell was smart enough to get some kind of a waiverThat would defeat the whole purpose of having territorial rights in the first place.
>>153058746You might as well just say that there isn't a chance in hell Canada will get an 8th team.
>>153058746It is possible to run multiple major sports teams for the same sport out of the same area without being as big as New York. We do it a lot here for multiple sports (arguably too much; Melbourne and Sydney both have more than half a dozen teams for their primary football codes). There are surely a few canadian cities that could sustain two NHL teams.
>>153058869Most canadian cities are just glorified hamlets
>>153058869that's gay!
>>153058790I don't speak retarded gibberish and I'm an actual Torontonian you europoor. Please don't try to tell me the ease of travel for Torontonians and people in the GTA to Hamilton lmfao.
>>153058869canada is strong and proudcansda is not very densed
>>153058869No, it actually isn't lol. The NHL isn't a Canada-exclusive league. They both don't want anymore Canadian teams, and the ones that do exist not named Toronto or Montreal are subsidized by big market teams or failing outright. The Greater Toronto Area has 10-11 Million people in a nation with approximately 40 million people.
>>153058887For real i'm not driving from markham to hamilton to see a hockey game. What a nightmare.
>>153058883That's true here too. The economic and historical situations are obviously very different, but I'm just saying it's possible to do. If it's just a question of adding one team to a big market, it should be pretty easy.>>153058900Same deal here. Big capitals, a few regional cities and everything else is villages, native land or uninhabited. Only one state has a relatively dispersed population.
>>153058790>SNESdamn man that just took me back to chil'hood. I grew up on NHL '94https://youtu.be/1Mjz5XqHPqA?si=1ZQ3hbnvGMdYowGv
>>153058814Not really. If you are Bell and a part owner of the most valuable hockey team in the world you don't just give that up for a little bit of money because you can never get back in. >>153058869Team loyalty/identity works differently up here. Montreal probably could have if the Maroons hadn't died in the 1930s since one team would be for frogs and the other for humans. Toronto still could. Everywhere has no chance for various reasons. Ottawa/Calgary/Hongcouver have no fans. Winnipeg is tiny. Why anyone in Edmonton choose to cheer for an expansion team instead of a team with history>>153058910Edmonton is routinely one of the highest revenue teams in the league
>>153058910I mean, that's a self-created business problem. Sustainable sporting leagues run all over the world with smaller and poorer population bases. But I was only saying it's doable, not that it was likely to happen. It's obvious the league has bet everything on American interest.
>>153058941Vancouver has a massive fanbase probably bigger than the Oilers or atleast will be after a certain contract runs out
>>153058953Vancouver struggles with attendance the moment they aren't in the playoffs for two years in a row.
>>153058941Forgot they existed. Blessed by Wayne then McDavid and an abysmal failure in the Ryan Smith years that made 0 dollars. >>153058944>sustainable sporting leaguesyes, retard, in countries where the entire league exists in a singular country. we have the CFL, I completely grasp it's possibility. This isn't some random shit league in Canada, this is the premier league of the sport that spans over two countries with the majority of the teams, and fans being in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY THAT IS NOT CANADA. You need to ice an additional like 30-60 guys, + build a stadium + be in one of the 4 areas in Canada that have a major population centre + convince the rest of the league this is a good idea because there is a revenue sharing program in the NHL + a billion other reasons this doesn't work because we're not some dogshit rugby league in the middle of nowhere with 10,000 dollar salaries -- we're the fucking NHL.
>>153058981You do understand everything you just wrote is totally irrelevant, yes?
>>153058941>you don't just give that up for a little bit of moneyThis makes no sense. Bell has no "right" to be be waived from territorial rights just because they used to own a part of the team. It makes even less sense that MLSE would even grant them that on the way out. If MLSE were to ever allow a second team, the fee to waive the rights would be included with the expansion fee. If bell had gotten a waiver, the laffs wouldnt have paid them tobget their stake back. Bell would have had to pay the laffs a shit load of money to walk away with the right to a new team.
>>153058923>Hey man, let's hop on a 40min-2+hour long train or drive for an hour or more to a town with literally nothing besides this!
>>153058994Cause I didn't make up a bunch of retarded words, say cunt, and mate? Because the entire population lives in 4 major cities, across a landmass larger than Europe -- not to mention all the league issues mentioned. Stay based kiwetard.
>>153058966are you high? they were sold out during their 6-0 loss the other dayand it's been a gorillion years since last ploffs pretty much
>>153059008Because you obviously have no idea how economics works and are arguing points about business choices, not feasibility. You're not even on topic.
Yeah I don't think /hoc/ should talk about economics again.
>>153059039economics are debatablewelcome to econom/hoc/, /biz/tard
>>153058998Toronto has no right to block a team being added, only to extract money as compensation for the market being split. There is zero reason why Bell couldn't negotiate the right to add a team with special considerations at some future point. Since both companies are in the sports broadcasting business (Bell still owns the right to broadcast a share of Leafs regional games) part of the deal would be that Rogers gets to share the broadcast rights at a specified rate.>>153059018>sold out 1.5 years after a 2nd round playoff run>against a canadian rival with the best player in the world that also was the team that eliminated you last in the playoffs, on a saturday nightLet's see the Carolina Thursday attendance next year.
dwings winnin the cup
>>153059063the cosco cup maybe
>>153059026>No idea how economics work>accurately describes lack of market>accurately describes lack of viable transit>accurately describes massive geographical distances causing issues>accurately describes the literal billions of dollars required for the rights, and then building a stadium>accurately describes the state of the business and the inability to expand and the unwillingness to do so into Canadanone of these are economic factors, I suppose. Supply demand, initial capital, the greater market, none of these are economics. Tell me oh, wise one, how should we force a team into Hamilton? Yknow, the place with half a million people, no reliable transit to and from major metropolitan areas, two major landmasses away from the population centre, while also close to 3 other major franchises (Toronto, Buffalo, and Detroit) please tell me the magic of economics that makes this remotely viable.
>>153059085>My shithole island in the pacific with fewer people than Canada can support our insanely niche sports and soccer while paying our athletes 45,000 AUD a year. Canada clearly doesn't get economics.
>>153059085>incorrect>incorrect>irrelevant>irrelevant to question>not in dispute and not the matter at hand>invokes hamilton when that was a completely different person and a completely different questionanon maybe you should learn to read and then kill yourself
>>153059106you're mad huh
>>153059115why would i be mad that he's having a tantrum about a different conversation?
>>153056773that one is 99. Al Chud was dominating the league but he was making many non-PC comments after the games and got banned by Gary Bettman

>>153059106>The ability for the population to travel to the game is irrelevant to it's viabilityYou're a literal retard.>There is a viable marketNo, there isn't. Winnipeg can hardly sell out with one of the better teams it's entire existence, WHL, original NHL, and current NHL.>Being forced to travel by flight has no bearing on viabilityAgain, literal retard>Capital required to start a team and build it's stadium is irrelevant to it's viabilityagain, literal retard>The business being unable and unwilling to expand has nothing to do with viabilityagain, literal retard>Invoking HamiltonWhere do you think people live in Canada? Hamilton is one of the most populous cities in the country. This is why I said you're a fucking retard. You don't grasp living in a place with more than 10 people, and you don't grasp the concept of a multibillion dollar league with minimum million dollar contracts.
>>153059136This isn't a discussion of Hamilton though, so everything you're saying is literally irrelevant or off topic, no matter how much you want to scream and cry about it.
slopdown was cancelled
>>153058887>>153058923Who gives a fuck where you live? Don't you think that most of Ontario and most definitely Hamilton are full of Leafs fans?
>>153059131based
>>153059115Kiwitard can't fathom how the NHL couldn't expand further into Canada when his island can field multiple rugby teams and pay them 20 grand in AUD a year. >>153059142Are you a literal retard? Where would you put the team then, bro? Mississauga borders Toronto. Brampton also does. Hamilton doesn't, and the other 7 most populous cities have teams. Where are you putting this team? A top 10 city in this country has 500,000 people. Where are you putting it? Brampton couldn't afford to sustain a minor league team with the Battallion, but I suppose if they piss away a few billion, they can have their half a million population of Indians come to a game on diwali.
>>>/lgbt/42386979yumabros were never getting a team back
wheres jen
I want to see a team in Hamilton just to see how many >laffs fags would give up on their team.
>>153059148tranny begone. bad faith retardation. we all know two things: hampage was cancelled and nyla has aids
Wtf is a slowdown and a hampage?
>>153059179Probably none because it wouldn't win the cup on the day it's name was trademarked so it "doesn't show up" or have "heart". Unless you win a cup the first second the fans know you exist, you're dog shit to them.
>>153059186so you don't know
>>153059195No, it just sounds like the usual gibberish that is posted here.
>>153059102I'm not sure if you meant that to agree with him or to demonstrate that leagues can operate with much less money, but, to be truthful, players get paid about ten times that on average. Obviously not NA levels, but that would be impossible with football schedules.>>153059169I don't recall making any suggestions about exact placement. I wouldn't try to put one in Hamilton either, for the same reasons you listed, but I never commented on that. Literally the only claim I made was that a big Canadian city like Toronto could sustain more than one NHL team. If you think that's wrong, you're simply incorrect and stupid.
does gary ever release the prime numbers? why cant he get a netflix deal?
>>153059201KWAB no milly
>>15305920947 is a prime number i believe
>>153059209Netflix is trying to buy TNT so you'll get your Netflix games that way
>>153059188Nah, I could see a small portion of >laffs jumping ship. People living in or near Hamilton would be the only fuckers to actually care about the team.
>>153059202>"It is possible to run multiple major sports teams for the same sport out of the same area without being as big as New York.">"The claim I made was that a big Canadian city like Toronto could sustain more than one NHL team"Lol, no, I made that claim, you said a city not the size of New York, which is none of them. They're either our entire population, or can't even sustain their own. You specifically singled out a smaller city, NOT Toronto or something like it. You specified NOT a major metro area like New York, retard. Please kill yourself you stupid kiwi retard.
>>153059219can somebody please run the numbers on this? i need to be sure
>>153059169>Where would you put the team then, bro?
As a non-obese man nearing late 30s, it's impossible to find an age appropriate woman that isn't obese in America.
>>153059239Ah, an even smaller market that already failed due to lack of interest and inability to build a stadium. Got it.
Canatards getting worked into a shoot by this pozzie lmao
>>153059235>you didn't mean this, you meant this incorrect statement i've made up to get mad at...i'm not sure if you're aware of this, anon, but new york is much bigger than toronto. all canadian cities fall into the term i used. the point was you don't need 20 million people in your metro area to have two sports teams, which should be obvious since most markets don't even have half that and also have much more competition from more popular american sports. so this little rant of yours is embarrassingly stupid.
>>153059263nah that's you.
>>153059265>incorrect statement you made up to get mad at>New York is much bigger than TorontoThe other city that supports two teams is like the same size as Toronto. This is the 4th largest city in North America you literal fucking retard. The only cities with 2 teams are either slightly smaller, the same size, or much much bigger. Toronto is a city like New York. It has the most infrastructure and people. It's the only comparable thing in all of North America to New York lmfao. Holy shit. Stay on your retarded island you convict spawn faggot retard.
>>153059304>city proper populationslol what are you even doing hereregardless, the point i made was that you don't need to be specifically new york, the biggest city in either country, to do that. and you've just provided additional evidence of that fact. at this point you're just shitting your pants because you want attention.
>Mutts and leafs getting pissy at the Aussie againBros, you're not supposed to get angry at them. You'll only motivate them to shitpost more. Stop.
>>153059320you're retarded desu
>>153059273guy lives on a farm on an island with fewer people than Canada and is insisting that Toronto is not remotely a city like New York, while simultaneously saying it and other cities can support two teams when those cities are: Chicago -- with the White Sox & CubsNew York -- every sportLA -- Basketball exclusively>>153059320The GTA is 10-11 million. NYC is 19 million. LA is 18 Million. Again, literally only city in North America comparable to NYC, but you have no fucking idea what you're talking about because you live on a massive and desolate farm island with 12 people who get paid 0 dollars to play niche sports only you people watch.
>>153059249i was only 31 when i was last single and noticed that as well.the apps are filled with leftover women too so its unironically probably 75% overweight women once you get into the 30s.
>>153059343Yes, it's insane. I even see zoomer kids in their 20s that are fit with literal landwhales.
>>153059340>take these uncontroversial facts that don't disprove anything you said because that wasn't your claim in the first place but something i made up to screech aboutokay?is this supposed to make it look less like you're having a meltdown over nothing, you dumb bitch?
>>153059356>y-you're the mad one you d-dumb bitchkwab
>>153059253The Nordiques didn't move due to lack of interest and they have a new arena.
>>153059327How is this inbred abbo allowed to post?>>153059356Oy mate, yer claim ya dumb cunt was mate that mate a city not as big as new york could support two teams in two sports mate cunt mate which is factually inaccurate mate given literally every mayja sports league mate cunt mate and the mayja population centas mate. if the only mate cunt cities mate cunt that can mate cunt support mate cunt two teams mate cunt in the same sport mate cunt are either the size of Toronto, or New York mate cunt then no, no other city could, strictly Toronto, which is the fourth largest city in North America mate cunt, and the 3rd between the two countries mate cunt, and every other major city in Canada that isn't edmonton or montreal has attendance issues mate cunt so clearly they can't kill yourself faggot mate cunt. I translated into australian so you understand.
>>153059392The same sport mate cunt*
>>153059392lost it at "mayja"
>>153059249What's really insane is how many Americans associate a woman being a healthy weight with being under 18.
