As fun as it is to joke about it, this whole situation is terrible. It's not a good look for the league, and certainly the long term viability of the team. What's the news for the new stadium? Is that actually going ahead, I can't remember

The problem is also that it's been a problem for so long. Not making it past the first round isn't something that has affected this particular playing group, it's been around for a while. It's there a losing culture that needs to be broken? It's easy to get into the "here we go again" mindset and slip at the wrong time, fulfilling expectations in all the wrong ways. Part of me thinks that the problem is far more than something that needs the replacement of a few players, that player, coaching, and organisational levels all need fundamental restructuring to find genuine change in w

Given the news they're going to interview him, it seems the flyers certainly think Trotz a good option. He could do something good with the team, as long as they stick with him short term.

They're going off just ticket sales? That's... Weird.

Not sure how over 100% happens but there you go. For the most part the numbers are not surprising

Considering the sort of money involved in pro hockey this seems like unnecessary penny pinching. If this lawsuit has any merit it would likely result in an "electric only by <date>" mandate from the league

Genuine question- why aren't the zambonis all electric by now? I simply assumed they would already be in operation by now. Electric forklifts have been around for a long time so it's not like the technology to make that sort of weight vehicle electric is a problem.
