Does a $100k fine even mean anything to an NHL organization?

Does a $100k fine even mean anything to an NHL organization?
Unfortunately it is like any fine to a sports team or player. For the average person it would hurt, but for them it is peanuts.

The Flyers went undefeated for a North American professional sports record 35-straight games (25–0–10), before losing 7–1 to the Minnesota North Stars, a record that still stands to this day. The streak started after the team was 1–1 on October 14, and ended on January 7, 1980.

NHL outdoor games will be played in Florida next year.

isn’t the stadium in Tampa the one that got destroyed last year by the hurricane?
Aloha!
@gopher6 That was the ballpark in St Pete. This is at the Bucs' football stadium
I'm just glad the Blackhawks aren't playing in it
"And the police led him away"
Sounds like the proper action.
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?
Man, I am a hockey freak. I really, really like it. I would love to have a puck from the game. But that just isn't how you do that sort of thing. Get the puck, take a pic, and give it to the kid who is going to show everyone he knows. And that is if YOU catch it. Sounds like the kid did the work to get it. Crazy work. And then doubling and tripling down is wild.

I'm 50/50 on giving it to a kid. I caught a puck at a Gopher game. Sitting on the glass behind the goal. The puck was shot, hit the netting and landed between my feet. I picked it up and pocketed it to take home and display. The adult next to was on his hands and knees crawling around and I told him I already had it. If the fan (adult) keeps it or gives it away I don't care. Maybe he has kids at home or whatever. To each their own. Though you can watch youtube or tiktok and see videos all the time were grown adults wrestle pucks or baseballs aways from kids. Or a player points out a kid to toss the puck or baseball and another fans grabs it out of midair.

that guy got real lucky that he was able to walk out of that arena."And the police led him away"
Sounds like the proper action.
The kid's mom was giving the guy the business, that one other guy stepped in and carefully stood in the way giving Bozo the clown a good talking to as well, but staying away physically (properly so).that guy got real lucky that he was able to walk out of that arena."And the police led him away"
Sounds like the proper action.
But yes, the other fans in the area were NOT happy with that guy.

I posted the story on Reddit, and got some more feedback. Apparently when the kid shook it loose from the net, it landed in Bozo's lap, so, I can almost see him keeping it at that point. Still a dick move, but, not really as bad.
I just can't understand why he came over to berate the kid/mom after the wife brought the kid a puck, though.

Just as dinkweed started to walk up the stairs and after verbally going after mom, guy in vest gave him the eyes that triple dog dared dinkweed to make a move. Would have enjoyed seeing that. 😉

Good on him for stepping in to separate them and stop any further escalation, but still make it clear that stuff wouldn't end well if Bozo kept pushing.The kid's mom was giving the guy the business, that one other guy stepped in and carefully stood in the way giving Bozo the clown a good talking to as well, but staying away physically (properly so).that guy got real lucky that he was able to walk out of that arena."And the police led him away"

Penguins goalie Alex Nedeljkovic had a goal and assist tonight. First time in NHL history for a goalie.

Carolina just traded for Rantanen and Taylor Hall. They gave Martin Necas and Jack Drury to Colorado and some picks to Chicago. And Chicago is paying for Rantanen. This seems like a fleece job if not for Rantanen being UFA after this year. I think it still might be.

Who is Middleton going to beef with when they play now? His brother?

think they knew there was no way they were going to be able to bring him back anyway with where they are on the cap and requesting in the neighborhood of 14m AAV. That team needs some retooling

Blackhawks have been so bad the last few years and their GM says
Aloha!
Utah is down to 3 potential names--

The Yeti's were eliminated because of copyright issues.

I wrote in the Utah Snow Caps... Snow caps are ice and snow that cover mountain peaks. Though the Colorada Avalanche might have a problem with a logo. I kinda stole the name from a brewery in Helena, Mt name Snow Hop Brewery. There logo had snow on hops, though the brewery is no longer in business.

Utah has removed Wasatch as a choice and added Outlaws.
Hey Utah hockey fans! We listened to your feedback and dug into all the Qualtrics data from last night’s survey. For the team name, it’s clear that Outlaws should be in the mix instead of Wasatch, so we’re swapping it out. Surveys will continue at the arena Friday, Sunday and Tuesday for you to vote for the options Utah Mammoth, Utah Hockey Club, and Utah Outlaws. Excited to see the votes roll in!

So the names continue to all suck
got it
Utah Tetons
The fact that Utah Hockey Club is an option is an absolute clown show.
Here are the logos for Utah's nicknames. They can't use the name Yeti, but looks like the logo for the HC nickname is a Yeti.

The Outlaws is an okay name but it literally means lawbreakers or fugitives from justice. Even the logo has a bandana pulled up like the guy's robbing a bank. So there's that.
If they can't use Yetis, they could have gone with the Utah Snowmen, which is at least unique.
Whichever one they go with, they're trending toward relieving the Wild of its last-place, ignominious name and logo.

They could have a kick ass Grateful Dead theme song if they went with Outlaws.

I just can't believe those are the three best names they could come up with. One is completely lazy, one has no connection to the place, and one is fine but makes me wonder why the other two weren't better competition for it...

they should just stick with the Utah Hockey Team

Is it the cooler company that won't allow it? Seems odd since "yeti" is the name of a mythical (or not) creature and not a name invented for a specific company. I don't see why it would be an exclusive name.
We have multiple "Panthers".
Whichever one they go with, they're trending toward relieving the Wild of its last-place, ignominious name and logo.
I've never seen the Wild logo rated last except by Minnesota fans. 🤣
imho logos that are easily worse: Ducks, Lightning, the current Stars logo, Kings, Panthers and Capitals. Maybe even Hurricanes, Canucks, Jets and Bluejackets.

Right? The logo is regarded pretty well league-wide.
The colors? Meh. The name? Ugh. The logo? Nice.
