JGibson Posted October 11, 2022 Author Posted October 11, 2022 Ian Cole is in some hot water, as his team suspended him for sexual abuse allegations. ESPN: Quote The Tampa Bay Lightning suspended defenseman Ian Cole on Sunday night pending an investigation into allegations made on social media that he sexually abused a woman when she was a minor. In a statement, the Lightning said they are aware of the allegations against Cole and are cooperating fully with the NHL on an investigation. "Our organization takes these allegations very seriously," the team's statement read. "While we continue to gather more details, we have decided to suspend Ian Cole pending the results of an investigation. No members of the organization, including players, will comment further at this time."

It’s always fun going with the majority/home team fan colors so everyone feels camaraderie.

Not you saying NY teams don’t win when y’all have the Yankees for baseball. I definitely think if you get a few basics like icing and whatnot, it’ll be easy to jump in to having a great time getting into it.
JGibson Posted November 10, 2022 Author Posted November 10, 2022 St. Louis Blues are on a big 8-game losing skid, and all 8 of those came in regulation.

But it seems they broke that today. My team has been a mixed bag of losing and winning. It’s been a headache.
JGibson Posted November 23, 2022 Author Posted November 23, 2022 The St. Louis Blues keep getting hotter, as they won their 7th straight last night in a 3-1 over the Ducks. Just over 2 weeks ago, lots of Blues fans were ready to write this team off after 8 straight regulation losses.
JGibson Posted December 4, 2022 Author Posted December 4, 2022 Penguins D Kris Letang is out indefinitely with a stroke.
JGibson Posted December 10, 2022 Author Posted December 10, 2022 Blues are back on their losing ways again.
pride4jc1222 Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 The New Jersey Devils are the best team in hockey so far this season. The funny thing is that I won tickets to a Devils game at an auction in November 2021. I saw that the team was going nowhere, so I decided to hold on to them for a game during the 2022-23 season. I'm going to see the Devils play the Flyers on 2/25/2023. Oh, and I'm going to see the Eagles play the Saints on New Year's Day. What a great time for me as an Eagles and Devils fan.

JGibson Posted January 25, 2023 Author Posted January 25, 2023 2023 NHL All Star Game's Skills Competition adds 3 events: Enterprise NHL Splash Shot, Chipotle NHL Pitch 'n Puck, and the Discover NHL Tendy Tandem. NHL.com: Quote The 2023 NHL All-Star Skills presented by Draftkings Sportsbook will feature three new events. Two of the new events, the Enterprise NHL Splash Shot and Chipotle NHL Pitch 'n Puck, will feature players displaying their skills in outdoor environments that typify Florida. Also new is the Discover NHL Tendy Tandem, an innovative goaltending skills test. The Enterprise NHL Splash Shot will be on the beach at Fort Lauderdale and feature eight players, divided into four teams of two. Players are required to hit all the targets before attempting to dunk their opponents, the winner being the one to dunk his or her opponents first. The Chipotle NHL Pitch 'n Puck will have players combine their hockey and golf skills on a par-4 golf hole featuring an island green. Six players will participate, the winner being the one who successfully sinks the puck/ball in the hole with the fewest shots using a combination of hockey and golf shots. If there's a tie, the longest drive determines the winner. In the Discover NHL Tendy Tandem, eight goalies will work in tandems, one shooting and the other in net (Central vs. Pacific and Atlantic vs. Metro divisions). The shooting goalie from a division will take a shot from a designated mark and will be awarded three points if the shot goes in the hole, two if it hits the in-net target and zero if it misses the net.
