That's a new one!

They "upgraded" the audio system, I believe. It seems louder than before, and that's not a good thing, IMHO.

Were any improvements made to the visitor locker room?

For years the Canes were among the lower tier in the league in cost (also in winning, but that's the dark ages). Now they're middle of the pack in cost (and on top of the heap in winning!). Not unexpected. BTW, the article mentions "general admission tickets". What is that, exactly??

What if I have an account but don't want an iPhone and don't want the enormous ad? Can I still read the article?

I mean, I sort of get it. He wants a chance to play more, on the top 2 lines. With the Canes talent ahead of him on the depth chart, it might be a while. Will some team play him up there, and pay him what he's asking? Yeah, some desperate team probably will. We don't have to. Best of luck.

I would hope that the organization recognizes the importance, to the fan experience, of EVERYONE in the building. The voices we hear at every game, especially.

And I thought FC had a chance to make the team this year!

All those things make the newsletter even more fun to read! 😉 Thanks for the good work.

To be fair, there was one video display in the concourse saying "congratulations". One. But nothing much in any of the shops.

It's not hard to fill in the blanks. Every censored word is fuck or some version.

Just a little bit...

Plenty of time to kill, though. Hopefully everyone is patient, going with the flow.

Actually getting inside the place was pretty much impossible, anyway.

Great idea. Fun to put faces to names. We're doing the agency planned trip, including Stockholm, and then heading north to Rovaniemi for a few days.

I hope Wade Minter PA can take a break and let Wade Minter the fan enjoy this!

I know you made some announcements at the end of the game but sorry, I couldn't hear anything.

Vegas looks exhausted and defeated. Raleighwood is going crazy. #SoundTheSiren

I thought it was noticeably warmer than during actual games and other people agreed with that. However, we were 10-15 rows higher in the lower bowl than we normally sit, so it's not a direct comparison.

Thinking about setting up a GoFundMe to ship Tortorella's clothes back to Vegas on Monday. Or at the very least drop them somewhere in the Nevada desert. #SoundTheSiren

Several problems, it seems. Ticketmaster was oddly slow. STMs could buy 6 tickets per account. Why? I mean, it meant I could buy for friends (all STMs, BTW) but for such a high demand event it was bound to create a shortage.

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
Some of the alternatives are even hotter!

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
Got 'em. Many of the tickets I would have preferred were already gone. Lesson for (?) next time: if sales begin at 10:00, get in the line at 9:30. 9:45 wasn't early enough. Luckily I have nothing else to do today!

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
I don't think you are, but I also haven't got to the front of the line yet! Getting closer...

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
Just like ticket sales for the first 2 watch parties. Just crawling along... Weird.

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
And possible concussions?

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
Excited. Nervous. Confident. A win tonight makes this a best-of-three series. And 2 of those are at Lenovo!

Makes sense I guess, as much as any GI call can make sense

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Is there a reason no penalty was called? Was taking away the goal sufficient?
200
oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
To be fair, "We almost won after a terrible start" is a more complete summary. How could they give up so much? How could they come back after that?? A weird goal in OT shouldn't change our optimism for the series as a whole. Win the next one.

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
I'm not going to blame Freddie for the terrible defense and non-existent offense during the first 2 periods. I agree Bussi has earned the next start especially if Freddie has any sign of concussion.

This may be the rare occasion when the wave is acceptable.

Where are they selling the first goal pucks? Asking for a friend/spouse.

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 30/05/2026
Challenges are decided by the league staff in the Situation Room in Toronto. Why then, do the refs study the replays intently during the process? No idea.

Not a lot of work for him, and lots of rest between series.

Is it just me, or is the broadcast almost entirely suggestions on how Montreal could play better? #SoundTheSiren

Gotta possess the puck in the O zone first, right? That's how the Canes play.

Why am I not hearing "ref you suck" in French? Not that I would recognize it...

I've been in over half of them. You're right.

So many Canadiens fans with their panties in a twist over this issue. Like it's some major show of disrespect. GTFOH.

The obsession with the bilingual anthem is...... amusing. It was cool before the first game. End of story.

oldguy1955.bsky.social @oldguy1955.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
It's OK with me, if that matters. Save the voice!

Yup. That's their game.
