Covid has pretty much killed my interest. I don't know who won the cup last year or the draft picks. I've just stopped caring about pro sports.

Tampa Bay. Alex Lafreniere, who is now a Ranger. I'm not as into it, either, but then again I live in Arizona.

I wrote that then had to google it. I think I watched 10 total minutes of the juniors, and still think it should have been cancelled.

Don’t worry, the league has already established this past offseason that it’s illegal for the Wings to draft higher than 4th regardless of record

3 day weekend. I had all my chores done. House was nice and clean. Dinner was served early and the dishes done.

So I decided I could relax and watch the hockey game.

I just... am not getting into it this year. The team being dead last in their division doesn't help. And the Yotes are a bigger laughingstock than the Browns or Mets ever were - and they're more likely to win a championship in my lifetime than the Yotes.

No, that was the first time where he won coach of the year and was fired. He was sleeping with Hasek's wife and Hasek told ownership that one of them had to go.

This has fiercely divided The Great White North, half of whom want Montreal to win, while the other half support Toronto losing.

Boring clean check on Tavares, who when moving to get up rolled his head right in a fast skating Perrys knee. Took it straight on even though Perry tired to get out the way. Knocked senseless and stretchered out and straight to the ER.

he honestly wasn’t at fault, like Higgins said he tried to get of the way and he was the first to go over to the stretcher on it’s way out, I’m sure he felt terrible. You can see in the ensuing fight on the next faceoff, he knew it was a symbolic thing that “had” to happen and I don’t think I saw him throw a single punch.

No, it's a death battle of memes between "It was 4-1!" and the completely unique to this year "The Calgary Flames having been eliminated from the playoffs have won more games during the post season that the Edmonton Oilers."

Over 6 periods of play, the bottom D pair for Edmonton tallied 24 minutes combined.

The 2nd D pair combined for 66.

The top pair for 100.

Most defensemen average 18 to 28 minutes each per 3 periods.

Arizona Coyotes in talks with Tempe on new arena, signaling possible move to East Valley

Paulina Pineda, Arizona Republic

The Arizona Coyotes are in talks with Tempe to relocate the hockey franchise from Glendale to the East Valley, according to sources close to the city.

Tempe issued a request for proposal Thursday to attract a professional sports franchise and a developer that will build an arena and entertainment center on a narrow strip of city-owned land near Priest Drive and Rio Salado Parkway.

The land, on the southern banks of the dry Salt River just west of Tempe Town Lake, currently houses the city’s public works and compost yard. The land is viewed as prime real estate in the center of metro Phoenix but would require environmental remediation.

The Coyotes — owned by billionaire Alex Meruelo since 2019 — confirmed that the team will submit a proposal to develop the land.

The Coyotes said in a statement that the team is “highly interested” in the opportunity because of the site’s location....
