Around SBN: Will Rhymes 'Fine' After Being Hit By Pitch And Fainting

MHH Glossary Update And Open Thread

Photo

I'll skip the linkage today and bring everybody up to speed on the contents of the Mile High Hockey Glossary so far.  I got a ton of good suggestions in the last thread I posted, and we'll use this one to round out the rest of it.  Or we can talk about hotels in Denver, grammar rules and favorite bands like we did in yesterday's ridiculousness.  Or was that uninterirriduclousnesslihood?  English is hard.

So, we've got the following categories and specific terms:

  • Player Nicknames: Liles/Male Model, Hot Pocket, Beachie's Boyfriend; Hejduk/The Duke; Stastny/SoS; Tucker/ShamWow; Wolski/The Baron; Phaneuf/Phadouche; Theodore/Pimp Cane; Lidstrom/Mangina; Arnason/Arnageddon, Lumpy Gravy, Sanjaya; Forsberg/Foppa, RoboFoppa; Duchene/Doogie; Hannan/Hobbit; McLeod/Highlander; Svatos/Svats Machine; Hensick/Hensiiick, Hensuck; Leopold/Leoprone
  • Team/History: Mission 16W; Unipron; How 'Bout Them Apples?; The Can; Altiboobs; Howler; Goal siren
  • Red Wings: Detroit/Detoilet, EmptyTown; A2Y/Excluding Zetterberg, Achtymichuk to Ysebaert
  • Blog History/Memes: Goal Girls; Top 19 List; Jibbled; Skrastins Notwithstanding; Must-Win Blog; Game Thread Leader; Fixed; The Infallible Darcy Tucker Corollary; Power Play Kittens; Ti4T; HAi4H

I want to include a section on MHH user nicknames, but other than "The Canary," I can't think of any other specific ones.  Didn't SlamDunkTheFunk have a clever (not obvious) nickname, too?  I figured I would ask before spending hours combing through old game threads (which I'll probably end up doing anyway).  Anyway, refresh my memory. 

And suggest additional terms for the above categories while you're at it.

Question

I know this has been asked before, but does anyone have any idea how to find out when tickets go on sale? I can’t find anything anywhere. I’ve signed up for like 3 different newsletters now, and still can’t get any news. Is it really going to be the middle of September for an October 1st game?

by Mrs @ MHH on Jul 30, 2009 7:55 AM MDT reply actions  

I’ve heard the second Saturday in September. So this year it’ll be Sept. 12.

Coyotes situation

I’ve just started following the Coyotes ownership issues and had a question about the ruling from the BoG yesterday – why is Bettman/the NHL against the Balisslie bid? Do they really want the NHL in Arizona that much? Do they not want a team in Hamilton? Do they not want Mr. Blackberry to be an owner? Anyone know? Thanks.

by PugPuck on Jul 30, 2009 8:01 AM MDT via mobile reply actions  

This TSN article suggests one reason why Balsillie was rejected:

In an email to the Globe and Mail, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Balsillie was rejected as an owner under bylaw 35 of the league’s constitution.

That section says the league can reject potential owners if it does not believe they are of “good character and integrity,” as well as for financial reasons.

I’m by no means a Balsillie historian, but I know that his effort to buy the Nashville Predators was shady as hell (including selling season tickets in Hamilton before the bidding process for Nashville was even complete) and he’s viewed as an outsider and a maverick among the boys club of NHL owners.

Also, Bettman and the BoG apparently still believe that it’s in the NHL’s best long-term interest to place teams in areas without traditional support for hockey (like the Southern USA). So they went with a group that is going to keep the team in Phoenix. Plus, I’m sure Reinsdorf is a golfing buddy of somebody influential in the league.

The Avs may suck now, but they've still won a Cup more recently than 75% of the NHL.

by Joe Dunman on Jul 30, 2009 8:07 AM MDT up reply actions  

Beat me to it!

I was going to say almost the same thing. As a guess I would agree that it’s mostly the way Balstupid is going about it. Slimy and underhanded. It also seems like he’s burning bridges for any possible expansion team in the future.

As to why they want to keep the team there, I’m not sure. Maybe Bettman just doesn’t want to move any teams? It takes time to build a following for a sport in a non-traditional location. Any owner going into a “hockey in the south” location needs to be prepared to lose a lot of money before making any. But look at Dallas. Nobody is saying anything about them being a “small market” “non-traditional” location. How come? Carolina is also making a decent amount and has had a great following from the beginning.

Being a southern girl, I’m not ready to believe that Hockey can’t fly in the south.

Hockey in the south

I’m with you on hockey in the South. If it weren’t for franchises in Atlanta, Nashville and Carolina, I’d never get to see the Avs play in person.

I get my back up easily about this topic. It’s the main reason I stay away from Mirtle’s site.

by Mrs @ MHH on Jul 30, 2009 8:42 AM MDT up reply actions  

As a Louisville resident, I’m technically part of The South (even though we’re more like a Midwestern city-state), but I’m not a big supporter of hockey below the Mason-Dixon. Southern California doesn’t count as The South and the only truly successful team has been Dallas. Tampa and Carolina won Cups but during their rougher seasons the seats are/were empty.

But I should probably keep quiet, since I support league contraction (which will never happen).

The word you’re looking for is “parity,” and I agree. But I think they should drop at least four teams, maybe even six.

Definitely get rid of Phoenix and Florida. And Detroit, too.

Washington is south of the Mason-Dixon line. Once Ted replace Crusty Abe Pollin things really improved there in terms of fan support. Given the best forward in the NHL, things have really picked up there lately. I usually drive down there for a few games a year and visit old friends, but this year getting good tickets is much more difficult.

by Inebriated Simian Miscreants on Jul 30, 2009 12:20 PM MDT up reply actions  

It’s all good. Yeah, just because a team is in the South I wouldn’t automatically get rid of them. I’d keep the Caps and the Stars, and at least one Florida team (Tampa before the Panthers), and probably Carolina. But there’s no reason for Phoenix or Atlanta to have teams, nor should Florida have two of them.

It is tough to make hockey work in the South. Growing up in the South, I didn’t pay any attention to hockey until I went to college in the Northeast.

Having a good owner makes all the difference in the world in trying to establish a team there. The owners of Phoenix, Florida, and Atlanta have only themselves to blame for their losses.

by Inebriated Simian Miscreants on Jul 30, 2009 12:43 PM MDT up reply actions  

Why keep Tampa over Florida, apart from Tampa getting Hedman and Stamkos they don’t seem to be doing much while the Panthers seem to be finding some success lately, Is Tampa getting better attendance or do you just hate Florida.

Florida never won a Cup, and has had worse attendance over the last few years. I’d feel weird contracting a Cup-winning team. Not that it couldn’t be done, but I figure keep the team with the most past success.

It’s always about da money, bitches. Moving a team to Hamilton would require Baldsilly to pay TO and BUF territorial rights fees/penalties, but the other 27 owners wouldn’t get squat. By forcing him to get in line for a future expansion team, the all get a cut of the expansion fee.

Add to it the fact that Bettman has stated he won’t run out on cities, the likely legal battle that would follow if the NHL acted in any way that looked like they wanted the ‘Yotes to screw the city of Glendale out of money, and his previous antics and you have a veritable laundry list of reasons the league doesn’t want him hanging around. I don’t think they have anything against the color of his giant pot of money, but they don’t want him relocating a team when they can have him around in the future to pay huge expansion fees.

What happens when they look to expand and he’s no longer interested? Not that he won’t be, but after getting the cold shoulder at least twice he’ll probably be less inclined to fatten the league coffers.

The NHL is ALWAYS thinking of expansion, at least under Bettman’s watch. Las Vegas and Kansas City are the two top spots. Had Pittsburgh lost the Penguins, they would have ended up in KC.

Thanks for the update – I didn’t know about his efforts to get the Nashville franchise. Wasn’t he the guy that tried to purchase the Penguins a few years back when they were fighting to get a new arena?

I’m glad the NHL is dedicated to making things work for the Coyotes but who knows if Phoenix can ever be a viable long term option for a franchise. At least Reinsdorf has shown the ability to run pro franchises in the past – although running a hockey team in Phoenix is a lot different than a basketball/baseball team in Chicago.

I think the problem in PHX is the location of the arena. That was piss poor planning imo.

In my experience, if the team paid the league fee collectively, then it was understood that the skaters paid extra so that the goalies played for free.

When the league fees were collected individually, there wasn’t really anything we could do to keep the goalies from being forced to pay.

The doublewood is def my favorite. Auchtencoshen (I know I didn’t spell that right) Is a pretty good $20 bottle imo, if you’re on a budget.

What’s the green label? I’m not familiar with that.

Oh, I also like Chivas. It’s not bad for a major name. And the Famous Grouse is some good stuff, both blended and single malt. I don’t like the Islay stuff though, too peaty for my blood.

Green Label, as in Johnny Walker. expensive [for a blend], but I love it. I dont drink much Chivas, but its good every now and then.

The Islay scotches are way peaty, but sometimes Iike that. Not enough to buy a bottle, but I do enjoy it when I go out. Theres a hotel bar that I go to downtown that has Laphroaig for a decent price, and since I never want more than a glass a month, I usually imbibe it there.

I will keep an eye out for Auchtencoshen, since I am definately on a budget at the moment. Thanks!

Totally off topic

but so was the Coyotes comment. = )

I have had a KICK ASS time playing hockey this week.

First, I’ve been in the Alumni Series clinic with ex-Kings coming in to coach us. Thus far, we’ve had Robitaille, Norton, the current coaching staff of the Kings (all 3), and Marty McSorely (for a douche, he’s pretty cool.) Last night was Ian Turnbull who still holds the record for most goals scored in one game by a defenseman. He was so awesome, both in helping with drills (backwards crossovers are mine baby!) and in the scrimmage (positioning and playmaking and such). I had some excellent plays and put a stellar move on one of the “helpers” (who is looking to do some time in the AHL fo sho) and slipped a pass right between the legs to my winger. Earlier, on Saturday, I got the game puck! Took down a 6’ guy in a clean check. He was so pissed he almost hit me. haha. Then stole the puck from behind this guy and set up a perfect scoring op the other way. (/pats self on back. ) Life is good.

Atmosphere – When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Last DJ
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Highway Companion
Gangstarr – The Ownerz
Johnny Cash – The American Recordings in their entirety.

I think this is about all the new stuff that I listen to. oh, and I do really like the Flobots disc, Fight with Tools.

I got jipped. NIN opened for Jane’s Addiction. I’ll say it again opened for Jane’s Addiction on NIN’s last tour.
Now every time I hear a Jane’s song I just think… fuck you. You screwed me out of an awesome NIN experience.

I’m not sure really. When I first heard it I was thinking “this can’t be atmosphere”. Since then a few songs have grown on me but I still just don’t really like it. Maybe I’ll listen to it again tonight and try to be more specific.

First off – no love to Revolutions Per Minute by Rise Against (in my opinion better than the newer Appeal to Reason you choose). Anyhow…in no particular order:

Funeral – Arcade Fire
Miss Machine – Dillinger Escape Plan
Harmony in Ultraviolet – Tim Hecker
Ruiner – A Wilhelm Scream
…Is A Real Boy – Say Anything
Relationship In Command – At The Drive In
The Headlight Serenade – Triosk
Boy In Da Corner – Dizzee Rascal
Marriage – Attack In Black
The Official Fiction – Something For Kate

Ah okay then…I just thought that Appeal to Reason was a bit too inconsistent – I mean it has some exceptional songs on it, but overall Revolutions Per Minute is more consistent around the exceptional songs (and its like 10 minutes shorter and more punky, whereas Appeal to Reason is more rocky).

10. Man Man – Rabbit Habbits
11. Mcklusy – Mclusky Do Dallas Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues is a must hear
12. Modest Mouse – Lonesome Crowded West
13. Neko Case – Fox Confesor Brings The Flood

15. Neutral Milk Hotel – In The Aeroplane over The Sea

6. I love The Argument, almost as much as Repeater, 13 Songs and In On The Kill Taker.

8. Oceanic was great, but Panopticon is my favorite of all time. There isn’t a single song on that record that I don’t obsess over from time to time. What do you think about Wavering Radiant?

14. Definitely a return to form for them.
