You should be prepared to watch a dreadful 2hr 2-1 Isles win.

Haven’t watched a full 60 of Sharks hockey yet, they’re like the Leafs last night; every night. Without a Matthews or Marner.

James Reimer could play like Dominik Hasek and the Sharks still would lose.

We need a new regime. Gary’s just worn out. We need more diversity and growth to the game. Getting rid of the hard cap has improved all the 3 other major leagues. Triple hard cap that we have is even stricter.

Even more so is that the NHLs marketing team is brutal. I mean sincerely they were advertising the AV’s opener as the season opener… you had two teams play internationally in some absolutely STUNNING arenas (go look at the images and fans); and you didn’t even market it? You rarely see any creativity in the NHLs player’s personalities which is finally starting to change. Add Houston, and improve marketing - with a luxury cap or some new cap rules to allow for much more interesting teams and I guarantee we could be 100mil cap hits by 2027. But all that **** ain’t happening. Obviously we have major systemic racism and sexism problems too plus the games so expensive.

So many blackouts. Super hard to watch games. And all their good ads (ovi backstrom, Pasta - the new ones they made this year) you never seen anywhere.

Biosteel is an actual electrolyte drink. Gatorades primary electrolytes they advertise are actually sodium (Biosteel has sodium as well obviously but Biosteel has plenty of others and more diverse spread I believe).

Biosteels gaining traction as it’s got no added sugar and low carbs but it’s quantity of healthy nutrients and amino acids blow Gatorade and others out of the water. I cant say Biosteel tastes better than Gatorade but they don’t taste bad. It’s what’s in the drink. And Biosteels basically taking over.
