Which mean more crappy Pacific start times. But beggars can't be choosers!

At least it'll be a short season.

If they go with Top 4 in the playoffs, seems like it should quickly become a pretty uninteresting playoff race. Colorado, Avalanche, Knights, Stars, and Blues. God bless the other 4; they're about to get rocked.

But, I shouldn't put the cart before the horse. Without Seguin, our (lack of) offense may make the race for 4th place closer than it should be.

Colorado are the Avalanche so pick one more team.

BTW, listening to arrogant-never-dealt-with-a-bad-season Vegas media types wax on and on and on about how the salary cap isn't real has quickly made me hate Vegas.

Ha. I'm going to say my Vegas hate made my fingers try to avoid acknowledging them

Good. No reason to have the best* 4 teams in the West all in the same division. And **** Minnesota.

Tentative deal in place for 56-game season to start Jan. 13th. Training camp will start Jan 3rd, except for teams left out of last season's bubble (they can start Dec. 30). Should get voted on by the league and players this weekend/Monday.
Looks like we'll be in a different division than originally reported.



Hockey is coming back!

Is it just me, or does it seem like the Central is the SEC West on a good year?

It'll be fun to see and get to know some of the Eastern Conference teams. **** the Lightning, though.

So Corey Perry is still an UFA. Any scuttlebutt about him coming back or have we used all our cap at this point in time?
FWAppraiser

The Stars only have around $250K of cap room at the moment. Depending on Johns' health/mental state, they have LTIR at their disposal, but I don't get the sense they would play that card for Corey Perry. Much more likely they save that (if available) in case a trade presents itself during the season and they need the space.
You could see a case where they get to training camp and decide to move things around to bring him in, but I doubt it. Too much young blood ready to break into the lineup and/or get more ice time.

Corey Perry was one of the biggest reasons we got to within 2 games of winning the Cup. He will always have my respect.

Stephen Johns will not play this year. Bummed for him and the team.

On the bright side, that will open up $2.35M once the season starts (if they use the LTIR option). Like I've said before, should give some flexibility for a move around the trade deadline.

Trade for Perry at the deadline for some more playoff magic.

Anyone know if fssw is gonna have all the games this season like they have in the past? I stream every game, and just wanna be able to plan ahead if they have changed things up coverage-wise.

Fox sports SW will still cover the games, but unfortunately that channel isn't on very many services anymore. Sinclair broadcasting has been in a dispute with just about every satellite, cable, and streaming service there is.

I think AT&T TV and maybe Direct TV have it, but not many others.

Excited / Anxious for this abbreviated season and playoff format. Definitely no time for a 1-7-1 start though.


As far as tv watching goes, I'm considering the following options:

1. Illegal streams
2. Finding someone with a login to a stream that has FSSW
3. Forking over the $80 per month for ATT Now until the season is over or agreement is reached with youtubeTV


Ultimately pumped for a new season and hope we can run it back!

Anybody know if and when they will sell tickets to the public?

I've somehow turned my wife into an incredibly passionate Stars fan and am looking to score some husband points by buying a couple of tickets to a future game. Don't even care when it is.
Kashchei

The latest I've heard is they are giving full season and half season ticket holders first crack at the seats. Then they will decide/see if they can accommodate mini plans, and lastly, if possible, tix for the general public. I'm sure when STHs get their seats there will be some available via Ticketmaster, etc.
