Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’m the guy at NHL HQ who’s in charge of making sure all of our major events get overshadowed by things in other sports, they gave me a huge raise for putting the season opener at 5 pm on a weekday at the same time as Game 1 of the MLB playoffs 3262288
londonbjohnson.bsky.social @londonbjohnson.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Why aren’t people grilling the men’s national team players about how often they chilled with their friend Ka$h Patel this summer? 000
TK from the Paper @pipedreams.blog · 29/09/2026And as Game One of a tripleheader, the latter two games featuring mid Original Six teams. 000
Orangeman: Fighter of the Nightman @ofotnm.bsky.social · 29/09/2026At least they put a big New York-Boston rivalry game on at 8 PM tonight to make up for it. 001
Mark C @msparky64.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Are you the same guy that doesn't stack NHL games on Friday afternoon and Friday night? You know...one of the few nights there isn't NCAA/NFL competition. 000
Isaac @ibex95.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Look the canes vs. Ol Gare bear bettman is the 7th original six rivalry 000
Band of Flubbers @iggythunders.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Gold in the Olympics > Silver at the WBC, hockey’s the new national pastime 001
steel-is-real.bsky.social @steel-is-real.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Launching the season at 1:00 PM Sunday is really the ultimate move. 000
Sarah Kelly @sarahkelly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Plus the WNBA playoffs, thereby ensuring that only people whose very favorite sport is hockey will be tuning in. 2140
a bloo @vlime286.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The NHL wanted 2 more regular season games, and dems the consequences 010
j0yj0yj0y.bsky.social @j0yj0yj0y.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Your time and pay is split with the WNBA where you perform the same work. 000
Brett’s football club are champions of Europe, sort of* @brett006.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It wouldn’t be hard to convince me Bettman has some weird large cash bonus rider in his contract to get less people watch their product on TV. 000
Andy Falcone @andybop78.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That being said, right now, Philadelphia sports fans are desperate for something to cheer about this week. Also, it's Gritty season, bitches! 010
R.L. Bynum @rl-bynum.bsky.social · 29/09/2026How about the WNBA opening is playoffs on an NFL Sunday instead of Monday when there's only one NFL game. Second games are today on a packed sports day. 150
Darth Sn3ak3rs @darthsn3ak3rs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026True but a lot of us don’t have existing access to the 5:00 and 10:00 games, so shoot your shot, NHL, I guess. 100
Dan Why-Ner @danweiner.bsky.social · 29/09/2026NHL Executive 1: We want to give the Canes proper respect on opening night as defending champs how do we do it? Executive 2: Make them play at 5pm opposite a MLB playoff opener? Executive 1: I love it! 1221
Brandon Veale @redveale.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This one's probably ESPN's fault. Ever since they got the NHL contract they've insisted on being able to create a three-game stack on Opening Night. 000
battleredraider.bsky.social @battleredraider.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Why are the Tennis US Open Final and the NHL Kick Off scheduled by the same people? 000
Ben Wright @benwrightatl.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Technically game one of the playoffs was at 2, and over before 5. As a Braves fan this is working fine for me. It's about time the NHL did something that worked out for hockey fans in Atlanta. 020
Ten Pounds In a @fivepoundbag.bsky.social · 29/09/2026well maybe Gary Bettmans favorite song is “Tuesday Afternoon” and you had no choice 000
Jkrdevil @jkrdevil.bsky.social · 29/09/2026ESPN needed a replacement for losing MLB playoffs and non-NFL and NBA leagues basically take what the networks give them. 000
soph @sophergopher.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It’s like they think they can outdo these other leagues in the viewership category, but since they can’t, we just get daily articles on viewership is slipping and whatnot 000
Ethan @ethanrunnebohm.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Do we really think that anyone who likes hockey would like baseball too though? 001
