Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[CH1]

.. negative value IMO...

that's fine...nobody is forcing you make a bid on the Sens.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Not forcing, but I'd love to see him come in with a last second bid.

 

[CH1]

fingers crossed he'll change his mind

 

[Aberdeen]

If you want to know why the NHL owners love Bettman and why that loathsome little gnome will be running the league until his death—the Sens are a good illustration.

Purchased by Melnyk for $92M in 2003.

Sold by the Melnyk family for $950M in 2023.

By the way that's about 12% growth per year. It's great, but not unheard of. Especially for a scrap heap purchase.

“Great, but not unheard of” will keep most people employed though.

 

[Habsy]

It's artificial inflation. NHL told prospect buyers they're done for awhile after Seattle to increase the value of bottom feeders to get new money in to give those sieve franchises a life for a few years. Rinse repeat.

 

[CH1]

32 seems like a lot of teams

Hockey is a 2nd tier sport so NHL really shouldn’t have more franchises than NFL, MLB, NBA

 

[zeke]

32 splits in half nicely.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

32 splits in half nicely.

most even numbers do.

 

[zeke]

but 16 splits in half better than 15.

 

[SundinsTooth]

Man sucks Bob went supernova for like 12 games.

 

[CRL]

Man sucks Bob went supernova for like 12 games.

We lost not because of Bob

 

[Hoss]

I love that Florida second goal was similar to the Reilly....but this wasn't called back

Fuck em

 

[zeke]

Fuck Florida and Fuck the Staal Bros

 

[SundinsTooth]

We lost not because of Bob

No but it certainly didn't help.

 

[LeafGm]

Whether it’s formerly good goalies who’ve been shit for years or complete nobodies who’ve always sucked, they all go “supernova” on the Leafs in the playoffs.

Just super duper unlucky I guess!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Incredibly weak play by Barbashev on the boards there right before the goal. Yikes.

 

[CH1]

Florida not losing because of Bob either

We are. But at least this time, Boston and Carolina got embarrassed too.

Morgan Reilly style goal
