Around the NHL 2024-25

Pumped for Peyton Kettles and the whole Kettles clan down south to watch big P get drafted. I learned some lessons playing behind Peyton's dad, Kyle, back in the day. Kyle was younger than me and I was an incredibly immature kid who didn't understand why I was backing up this "little kid".... A little kid who ended up getting drafted by Nashville in 1999. They're a true hockey family who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the game. Peyton is gonna be a good one in the bigs before too long...

I think Quebec gets the next Flames/Thrashers franchise to fail in Atlanta.

Well, I think just off hand that if Atlanta fails then there's Houston, Portland, Or, Kansas City, Oklahoma City & maybe Milwaukee or Cleveland in line before Quebec gets the Nordiques back. Bettman for some reaason just doesn't want Quebec despite their new 18,000 seat hockey arena which ain't so new anymore at 10 years of age. Just goes to show how lucky we were to get the Jets back when we did with a small arena. Bettman didn't stand in the way for us to get the Jets back despite all the negative crap he had to put up with from Winnipeg fans when the team went to Phoenix in 1996.

we also had an extremely rich dude as a partner too, which helped.
