I am buying Blackhawks season tickets because of Connor Bedard

I watched a highlight video. There's like a 20 minute highlight video I was watching and I did buy season tickets. I hope everyone here likes to go to hockey games. Cause we're gonna go to a lot of hockey games. I got swept up. I mean he looks, I, I know there's a lot of pressure on him, but he does feel like a can't miss guy.

Big Cat did indeed purchase season tickets for the Blackhawks.

The 2022 Winter Olympics are failing because the NHL players aren't participating

The Olympics are a fucking fact that hockey, like the pros don't play. That's what draws everyone in. Like if team USA was playing Russia tomorrow morning, we would wake up and watch it. We'd wake up and watch it.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were the lowest-rated ever in the U.S. While many factors contributed, the absence of NHL stars in the hockey tournament was widely cited as a major loss for the Games' marquee event.

Hockey is the only sport where an emergency backup goalie like a Zamboni driver can actually enter a professional game and win.

David Ayers, the NHL goalie who was like a Zamboni driver that they called in and asked him to start a game, he won the game... It's the only sport that can have this happen... it's the only sport where a goalie can be a guy just driving a Zamboni. Let's throw him in an emergency.

In modern professional sports, hockey's EBUG (Emergency Backup Goalie) rule is indeed a unique quirk where a non-roster civilian can be called into a game.

Half the internet will hate whatever name the Seattle hockey team chooses

Whatever they're going to name [the Seattle hockey team], prediction, whatever they're going to name it, half the people on the internet are going to be mad. Half the people are going to like it just like their jerseys.

The Kraken name was revealed in 2020 and received the typical mixed internet reaction predicted.

Evgeni Malkin is a traitor for joining a pro-Putin social campaign

Evgeni Malkin... listen to the balls on this motherfucker. He is joining a pro-Putin social campaign in America... Malkin, as far as I know, is the one who started it. This son of a bitch is basically a traitor. And he's propping up a dictator who goes after journalists.

Malkin did indeed join the 'PutinTeam' initiative in November 2017. The 'traitor' label is a subjective value judgment.
