Will this translate to lower ticket prices at the arena?

 

For resale for sure, already has. For face value, I'm less sure, maybe a little bit.

[Victoria Watcher]

Ya, it will.   They have been using dynamic pricing for a long time.

Ottawa didn't have the lead even one time in their series against Carolina? That wasn't a sweep, it was a vacuuming..

Former Canucks broadcaster, NHL goaltender John Garrett dead at 74

[Victoria Watcher]

He was Vancouver's lone representative at the 1983 NHL all-star game and was favoured for MVP honours before Wayne Gretzky scored four times in the final 10 minutes.

Garrett formed a long-running broadcast partnership with play-by-play man John Shorthouse and host Dan Murphy on Canucks regional telecasts.

He stepped away from a full-time role after the 2022-23 season but continued to appear on select Sportsnet assignments, including the first-round playoff series between the Vegas Golden Knights and Utah Mammoth at the time of his death.

Whale of a player. It was no fluke he made it to the NHL.

While it wasn't that long ago that the "Star-Spangled Banner" was getting booed north of the border, here in the US of A, fans are happy to jump in and belt out "O, Canada" when the anthemist's microphone decides it doesn't feel like working.

It's the neighborly thing to do.

On Tuesday night, the Buffalo Sabres welcomed the Boston Bruins to town for Game 5 of their Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series.

Now, in Buffalo they play the Canadian anthem for every game regardless of opponent, so that helps the fans to know the words.

The Vancouver Canucks have a new general manager and new co-presidents, Sportsnet confirms.

The franchise has promoted Henrik and Daniel Sedin to co-presidents of hockey operations and named Ryan Johnson as GM.

I think it might work... as long as the owners stay out of it. Historically, they haven't.

[Victoria Watcher]

If I own a $2.2B company I'm going to be involved.

[lanforod]

Maybe if you've owned that company for decades and the ultimate measure of success has been far out of reach for 15 years, you'd try a different approach to how you're involved...

[Victoria Watcher]

Forbes says the company earned $55M profit. Maybe it’s being run right.

From a business standpoint yup. From a sports team standpoint, nope.
