If Tavares loses his case and his bonuses become taxes. how much does this affect the leafs in the future along with other Canadian teams. If all player bonuses get taxed

Is there historic reason or anecdote about why they do that?

I bought NHL game and loved that for a bit but I think I want to know more about my team and just more about the game in general. Also as a UK resident like merch... is that a thing.

Basically I'm obsessed and dno how to feed the obsession. Thoughts...

Been a flyers fan since I got into hockey in 2012. They will forever be my favorite team but I’d like to start following a secondary team too. I think it would be fun to start getting into another team and have more invested in other games when my flyers aren’t playing .

Initially I assumed I should just pick a western conference team however I’m a grandpa and can’t stay up past 10/1030pm to save my life even on the weekends. Never getting to watch the team live wouldn’t be very enjoyable .

Just wondering how you guys went about picking your 2nd team.

hi reddit!

i’m from the dallas area and i used to be a huge hockey fan. when i moved away in 2016 and it got harder to follow the Stars i stopped following the sport. i’ve missed out on a lot of world events in that window.

recently i was looking at the list of recent nhl mvps for reasons i don’t remember and i saw Taylor Hall has a Hart trophy. and like. what?

at first i thought i had been away from the sport for so long that i had forgotten what the hart trophy is. i thought i was getting it confused with the rocket richard or art ross trophy or something. or maybe i was getting Hall mixed up with a different, better player. there was NO WAY that taylor hall won MVP.

but he did? and i don’t get it. i looked up the season. he was nowhere close to leading the league in points or goals or assists. his team was an eighth seed, and not a sneaky good eighth seed. they snuck in by 1 point and won 1 playoff game. and unless taylor hall rebuilt his entire game while i wasn’t looking, he damn sure didn’t win off of his defense. when i was watching the guy was famously one dimensional.

why would they give MVP to a dude who was neither the best offensive player nor the best two way player nor on the best team? or even on a good team? it just does not make sense. i feel like i’m missing something obvious here.

Hey this is super random. I am a Canucks fan, and I am going to Ottawa to explore the city. Would I be ok to wear a Canucks jersey?

The PWHL has existed for 3 seasons now. In their first season, an average PWHL game was getting about a quarter of the attendance of an average NHL game. In this latest third season, an average PWHL game is getting about half the attendance of an average NHL game.

After just 3 seasons, they have grown significantly. The NHL had of advantage of existing for over a hundred years. From the previous season to the latest season, the PWHL increased by 28% in average attendance while the NHL increased by less than 0.5%. The PWHL is catching up quickly.
