NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

I'm pretty unfazed by hate towards Boston area teams, as it's one of the most common types of sports hate, especially in last twenty years.

Having grown up in Rhode Island, those teams all receive my default support, but in my adult life, I have really only paid attention to hockey in terms of professional sports.

Last night was a massive bummer, but I can't say it was a surprise, given how uncharacteristically the Bruins played for large chunks within this 7 game series. This proved, yet again, how different playoff hockey is from regular season hockey. Two of the top seeds (in East and West) going out in the first round last night is both crazy, and certainly not uncommon in the NHL playoffs.

Mainly I feel for Bergeron, assuming this was his last game. My Bruin's fandom has basically coincided with his entire career. He is a consummate professional and has gained the respect of everyone in the league: players, coaches, staff, and fans. He took a pay cut this year so Bs could spread money around to help build the team for one last run, so this has got to be so tough for him, as well as the players hoping to rally around him. I'm extremely grateful to have watched him grow into arguably the league's best 2-way player in its history, and lead this team for so many years.

A surprising figure has emerged in the ongoing saga to determine the next owner of the Ottawa Senators.

Award-winning rapper Snoop Dogg is part of a bid fronted by Los Angeles-based entrepreneur Neko Sparks that's interested in purchasing the Senators, sources told The Athletic's Ian Mendes.

"He's passionately involved. He's coming up with ideas. And he's legitimately excited," a source told Mendes. "He wants this team."

The famed rapper is reportedly interested in growing and marketing hockey to families from diverse backgrounds in and around the Ottawa area, sources told Mendes.

"He's passionate about trying to make this game affordable for visible minorities and kids in low-income areas who haven't been able to play hockey in the past," a source told Mendes. "He wants to be community-oriented."

Snoop Dogg has emerged as a vocal supporter of hockey and the NHL. He's a frequent attendee at games in Southern California and was even featured in the video game "NHL 20" as a commentator and playable character.


Snoop Dogg is the latest celebrity to be connected to a bid interested in the Senators, joining actor Ryan Reynolds.

Reynolds is aligned with the Remington Group, which is reportedly preparing a $1-billion offer to buy the Senators.

New York-based bank Galatioto Sports Partners, which was hired by the family of Eugene Melnyk to sell the franchise, has set a May 15 deadline for offers.

Those sissies in Florida are so afraid of being overrun by Leafs fans that they’re preventing Canadian residents from buying tickets. I’m far from being a Leafs supporter, but fuck this.

I think with resale sites and the sheer number of Canadian snowbirds who have US credit cards and billing addresses this will probably have little to no effect, but agree, it's dumb. If you don't have enough fans to fill a stadium for a second-round playoff game, that's a you problem!
