I wrote about hockey. And I had a hockey podcast. | Working elsewhere now. Aircraft geek. Travels.
@jesseblake.bsky.social Hey! So just wanted to let you know that for $561 - the most expensive pre-season ticket at the Marc Andre Fleury game - you get a decent season ticket with most SHL teams. And probably a few beers as well.

@adamwylde.bsky.social I heard your conversation on the Hutson thing.
Interesting. A few years back, when I was freelancing, I spoke to Ray Sheep. He told me a story on the Staal family. If you have the time, please read. It warmed my heart.

A conversation on youth hockey with Ray Shero: “Why should we keep score?”
GOTHENBURG — Scandinavium, usually the home of the Frölunda Indians of the Swedish Hockey League, has been occupied by the National Hockey League for days. Outside, the streets are filled...

@adamwylde.bsky.social I rarely comment on individual episodes or stuff like that. But that last Iggy comment had me in tears laughing.

I love dogs.
And I've already booked my ticket (one way) to Hell.

Thank you for that laugh. Holy fuck

@jesseblake.bsky.social Congrats on the series win! Press conference question for the podcast.

I know Marner and Tavares are the UFA's on everyones mind. Um...how about the risk of an offer sheet for Knies? There are a few teams with money this summer.

@adamwylde.bsky.social As for Swedes speaking Swedish during 4 Nations. Of course. 100%
Also, most of the Finns understand Swedish as Swedish was a language taught in school in Finland for a long time.
Best regards from Sweden

And it is going to be awesome!
Just a reminder the cap goes up for everybody, not just your favorite team.

@adamwylde.bsky.social RE: NHL expanding in Europe.
My knee-jerk reaction would is "Please no!"

The culture of the sport is SO different over here in Europe. Although I love both sides of it, I wouldn't want the two mixing. It just wouldn't add up. For me personally, at least.

The only problem with joining a new platform like Bluesky is to find all the good and nice people I follow on that other place.... #freshstart #hellobluesky

@adamwylde.bsky.social Hey man! I just wanted you to know that some of the SDP episodes of late have been cut off early for me. The episode stream finishes before the actual episode is done. The 'Maybe' episode ended while Jesse was talking mid-sentence.
Both on Podcast Addict and Spotify.
