gimme Shatty

 

this is AMAZING

 

Holy shit, that's great.

 

He sounded legitimately upset, love it

 

Apparently Seattle's dipshit mayor is making a major arena announcement today which then brought these up this morning....

 

NHL all star game 2020 or something lol

 

Right-handed shot too. Prob means TVR is gone, or so we can only hope

 

Can't wait for all the madness to begin.

 

That would be highly unlikely and super strange to hold it in a city without a team.

Rumor on a Sonics board is that they are tracking a flight on the NHLs plane bound for Seattle now which makes sense considering the press conference has been bumped back 4.5 hrs.

 

Also...yay! Loved watching Erie in the MC.

And a dose of comedy to go along with it....

 

Yea, I was joking. I just assume it'll be a downer of some kind not to get our hopes up.

Maybe it'll be good idk

 

It'll probably be not much but after doing the math on it---I have no idea. The big news on the Seattle area front this week was that one of the two bidders on performing the KeyArena remodel/renovation dropped out, that the Mayor was going to come out and award the contract to OVG (Oak View Group) since they are the last one standing.

However, local news outlets are saying this press conference is going to be major today for hockey fans and the NHL plane is currently on its way to Seattle partnered with the press conference moving back 4.5 hours----it all points to this press conference being something major in the way of an NHL announcement but who knows, we will see. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but twitter is making it real tough this morning.

edit: apparently the flightaware link has now been taken offline so that could be nothing now.

 

Peter Chiarelli losing McDavid to a Flyers offer sheet because of a cap crunch would be the most Peter Chiarelli thing ever PLEASE let it happen

 

lol Wayne Gretzky would lose it

 

I won't post it all here but some interesting stuff going on here in regards to Seattle....

Chris Daniels (@ChrisDaniels5) | Twitter

You can read his feed if you are interested, he's the best guy in the city who has been on top of this arena stuff

 

So basically they are going to completely re-do the Keystone arena so they can avoid the Sodo arena?

 

I missed this last one

but also I'm a little nervous for the jones extension

I'd hope the sharks would be smart and keep doing 3 year deals but I bet jones wants a guaranteed finish his career type deal

 

plz Shatty

 

Blah.

 

DON'T FUCKING TEASE ME
