NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

Yeah the thing is, those two have done this like a zillion times. So if they really hate the Leafs, they are paying obscene amounts of money, to go to random games and cheer for random teams. Like, okay? But who enjoys spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars to go to a game and cheer for whatever random team is playing? Why don't you just, I dunno, DO LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE with your money? I think they just want to be on tv.

The dude is a scalper with access to like 30 pairs of season's tickets. He's pathetic.
 
What's the best (and cheapest) way to stream the NHL playoffs?

I dont have cable. I use Roku.

Just want to drink some beers in the evening and watch playoff hockey.

Another Starboy has entered the sweepstakes to purchase the Ottawa Senators.

Canadian singer Abel Tesfaye, best known by his stage name The Weeknd, has joined the Harlo Capital Group led by Toronto billionaires Jeffrey and Michael Kimel to hope to buy the Sens, sources told Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch.

Actor Ryan Reynolds and rapper Snoop Dogg are also making separate efforts to purchase the NHL franchise. Reynolds' group is reportedly prepared to bid $1 billion. Seven groups overall remain involved in the bidding.

The Weeknd, a native of Toronto, has won four Grammys, is the most streamed artist on Spotify, and performed the Super Bowl LV halftime show.

"He's going to be a great partner for Ottawa and the NHL," a source close to The Weeknd told Garrioch. "The team he works with grew up in Ottawa, so they know the market really well, but he's the largest musician (on the) planet right now. He has the most views, the most streams, and he's a hockey guy.

"He doesn't like to be in the media very often, so this really says something that he wants to be part of a bid. He wants to get this deal done, he wants to build something that will be great in Ottawa and he'll be a good fit. He's got a lot of connections worldwide."

The Senators have been owned by Anna and Olivia Melnyk since their father, Eugene, died in March 2022. The franchise was put up for sale in November.

New York-based bank Galatioto Sports Partners, which was hired to sell the club, has set a May 15 deadline for final nonbinding offers.
 
The New York Rangers and Gerard Gallant agreed to end his tenure as head coach, the club announced Saturday.

Gallant and general manager Chris Drury reportedly had a heated exchange following the Rangers' Game 4 loss to the Devils in the first-round matchup that New Jersey ultimately won in seven.

On Wednesday, the 59-year-old scoffed at questions about his future with the team and defended his record, chalking the early exit up to one lackluster series.

"Did we have a tough two weeks? Yeah. But besides that, I can't believe I have to answer some of these questions about me getting let go or getting fired (that were) brought up by the media," he said at the time. "Disappointing."

Gallant coached the Rangers for two seasons. In 2021-22, he guided them to the Eastern Conference Final, which they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in six. Drury loaded up at this season's trade deadline, acquiring forwards Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane in separate deals.

The GM said Saturday that he isn't going to limit his search to any specific style or type of coach and is "just looking for the right fit."

The Prince Edward Island-born bench boss coached the Vegas Golden Knights for most of their first three campaigns, helping them reach the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season of 2017-18. The Golden Knights fired Gallant in January 2020, replacing him with Pete DeBoer.

New York hired Gallant in June 2021. He led the team to a 99-46-19 record.

Before joining Vegas, Gallant served as head coach of the Florida Panthers and Columbus Blue Jackets.

All three Jack Adams Award finalists from 2021-22 are no longer with the clubs they coached at the time. In addition to Gallant, the Calgary Flames fired Darryl Sutter earlier this week and Paul Maurice replaced Andrew Brunette with the Panthers last June.

I’d take Gerard Gallant in Nashville in a heartbeat. Rangers are just proof that you can’t buy a Stanley Cup, it has to be earned.
