Note, don’t be a water bottle in the presence of a GM. This is a repeated pattern now

Or Binnington

Or the president of Hockey Operations(Neely)

David Clarkson would never stand for this.

"Reinhart is asking for HOW much?!" "After this performance?!"

Reinhart has been damn near invisible

[удалено]

15 points in 22gp in the playoffs is still great But yea he's going to be overpaid this summer

The way the light on him turned red, before the bottle throw. So theatrical!

Think of all the Miami clubs they had booked for their after party tonight and now they gotta go back to Canada lol

I like that I can take joy in Edmonton being a bit of a desolate waste in certain situations. Enjoy the Chop Steakhouse boys.

At least the Caps got to celebrate their road victory in Vegas Imagine if the Jets make the Cup Finals one day, and the other team wins the Cup on the road (in Winnipeg), and the Stanley Cup celebration is a good old Manitoba bush party LOL

Imagine having to have your after party in a desolate Robins

Apparently the Celtics even flew out to Miami this afternoon.

"Northside fok" *gets bearmaced*

They could pull a lot of cougars at the Pal.

>good old Manitoba bush party Does Manitoba have Labatt 50?

I hear they have a fine pilsner named "Pilsner"

That's heresy! Pilsner is that crap they drink in Saskatchewan (spits on the floor). Club is the crap we drink here in Manitoba.

I found a case of club in the Edmonton area for the first time in over a decade yesterday, and I was unreasonably excited.

I saw No Name brand beer at the Superstore Liquor Store and at just a hair over a buck a can, I was tempted...

Did you happen to find it at the Beverly Crest by chance? lol

Is this like the Lucky that we drink in Alberta?

if im not mistaken labatt blue is named after the blue bombers

Molson Canadian

This is probably the 2nd worst spot after Alberta (sorry flames)

No team would be able to celebrate in Alberta. The public would be too hostile. They would instantly fly somewhere like Vegas which is only 2.5 hours away.

Wait what? Edmonton to a Vegas has gotta be at least 3 hour flight.

According to Redtag it is.

At least Calgary has some real culture like strip clubs where there’s rodeo on TV and the strippers will slap you if you ask them.

At least you can throw coins at the strippers in Alberta 🤷‍♂️

Loonie shower Edit: This was a joke which was immediately proven true as I scrolled down this thread

They have merchandise posters of their cooter they roll up and make a cone and hold it down their tiddly bits. If you score you get a free poster.

Hold up. I can get slapped by a stripper. Why has no one told me about this. That’s better than my mom slapping me /s

Oh, you haven't lived until you've done the "loonie toss" at an Alberta strip club >The professional strippers there go through the most degrading ritual I’ve ever seen, however. This event is known as the Looney toss. There are no lap dances in Calgary, only stage shows. Strippers must hustle as much cash onstage as possible. Since strippers must remain three feet away from customers, the hustle is less intimate and more … strange. For those unfamiliar with Canadian currency, a Looney is a golden Canadian dollar coin. During the Looney toss, Canadian strippers get completely naked and stick a single Looney to their skin with moisture (saliva), typically on an interesting spot like on a boob, or a butt cheek or near the vagina. Customers must then toss Loonies at that stationary Looney to try and knock it off the stripper. https://www.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/qjctx/is_it_normal_throw_loonies_at_strippers_all_over/?sort=top https://www.vice.com/en/article/nn9kdq/the-messed-up-story-behind-albertas-sad-tradition-of-throwing-loonies-at-strippers >Some strippers sport little indents from bosses winging coins at their genitals while others sport permanent half circle burns on their bodies from when men use their lighter to heat up a coin before throwing it. >“You'll get guys who think it's super funny to hit you on the nipple, your asshole or clit,” Allure told me. "I've had friends whose skin has been broken because they had a piercing on their hood or whatever and the coin impacts hard enough that it has broken the skin. Which then it's like a health issue because money is filthy."

This sounds so bizarre and also not fun for the strippers. Some have burns!

The burns is a myth. Try holding a coin and heating it up with a lighter

I don't know why there's never been a setup like those last holes at minigolf with the ramps, but with strippers and loonies

Try holding a coin in your fingers and heating it up with a lighter. Someone will be burned and it won’t be a stripper

Calgary is a beautiful place lol Winnipeg is easily the worst (sorry Winnipeg), even Columbus or Buffalo or Minni are probably worse than Calgary tbh

Any team winning the Cup in Calgary this week would've been [reeking of champagne for days afterwards](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/water-running-out-main-break-calgary-1.7235202).

Some careers are getting ruined that night

I'm imagining them listless like [the ex-pat Torontonian missing the Cactus Club](https://torontolife.com/city/i-moved-to-alberta-and-hated-everything-about-it-after-three-months-i-came-back-to-toronto/).

The thing that always amuses me most about this is that she lived in Leduc, not Edmonton. It’s an exurb that’s a 20 minute drive from the closest edge of the city, and basically only notable for being the location of the airport. Of course there’s no big city nightlife out there. It’s like moving to Langley or Guelph and being mad it isn’t downtown Vancouver or Toronto.

She also didn't move from Toronto. She moved from mississauga.

So just geographically challenged all over eh?

It's that god damned american influence on our education system. Next thing you know she's saying is that Ontario is bigger than Europe

Having driven through Northern Ontario twice now I can see where she’d get confused.

She didn't even move from Toronto, and like it's not even she moved from Scarborough or Etobicoke which at least is *technically* Toronto. Mississauga is a whole ass other city

I mean they ain’t going out there if they win. They’re hopping on the plane to go right back

It’s not a quick flight. They’d probably land back in Miami at like 6 or 7 AM local time

E11even would still be booming

Oh man. I was on a work trip to Miami last year and I ended up out quite late with some of my clients. At about 5am they decided they were going to that place and I was like ok cool. I thought it was just a club. I didn't realize it was a strip club. Couldn't get over how packed the place was at 5am on a Tuesday

Damn, you made it to 5 AM?! That's no small feat itself lol I work in downtown Miami, there's this golden hour in the mornings where the trains are full of people commuting to their office and ravers leaving the clubs. 😂

I ended up leaving the club at like 6.30am. Fell asleep on the bathroom floor of my hotel and then had to meet my boss at 10.30am for our flight back home. Worst Uber and flight of my life. Had to puke in the puke bags on the plane. Boss was pissing himself laughing at me.

I think if a team like Florida won in Edmonton they would fly to Vegas to celebrate.

That’s still probably like a 4 hour flight

Just over 3 hours flight time. Made it in under 3 hours once, pilot said he took a short cut. I think about the comment a lot.

They definitely are going out in Edmonton if they win. By the time they’d even be done celebrating in the locker room it’s would be like 2- 3 am est, and a lot of players would have family members that came to Edmonton on a separate plane

I think the town as a whole would be way too hostile after losing the cup.

They typically buyout a venue in an inconspicuous place and have a shit load of security

(Pre Game)

Poor Tampa had to celebrate their cup in Edmonton in a bubble

Lol

Now they have to throw game 6 to win at home

Also funny that they got to keep flying the cup and all the celebrations things and championship hats back and forth lol.

Fanatics just made one version of the hat this year that says “STANLY CUP CHAMPINS” so it’s actually fine

Pierre Dorion is that you? https://i.redd.it/dii3qx582g7d1.gif

https://i.redd.it/etc1p1893g7d1.gif

Good old responsible, recycling Kyle. 😂 A real fucking hero too.

lmao I was thinking, "hmm looks like he's just throwing it away"

"I'm angry, but it's not the earth's fault."

Pretty sure George McPhee threw one too during our series

Neely is fucking scary lol

Seabass has terrified me since 1994

Kick his ass, SEABASS

There it is! This is the one that comes to mind first for me

It’s from the [Bozak trip](https://youtu.be/m2qrIxck5vM?si=v4ITgs1sNhVykhlA)

Still pissed off about that non call

You and me both. I’ll be pissed about that to my grave brother.

Ditto.

Busted out laughing when I saw this live LMAO

Cam did it best.

This was from **game 5 of the SCF** 👀

Damn Dorion, put some effort into that throw

The dream is gone but the memes live on!

He might kill skmeone if Florida somehow loses the cup again

More effort than OEL on the backcheck.

Dude was radiating anger in an earlier shot of him just sitting, breathing hard.

Yeah his eyes were wide open, insanely angry lol

I thought it was Adderall 😂

That was hilarious! And I hate the Oilers...

The owner, on the other hand, is thrilled about another possible home game.

I mean shit that’s a couple extra mill in revenue wouldn’t be all to upset if I were him either

Holy shit is it really that much?

I mean it’s playoff ticket prices + sellout + concession and merch prices. Playoffs bring in a lot of money for teams

IDK you are probably making way more long term if you win a cup.

I know you’re an Oilers fan but por que no los dos?

Playoff gate is also exempt from revenue sharing so the team keeps all the revenue. And the prices for tongihta game were insane for Florida standards. Lowest resale was over $800 at nosebleeds

Oilers sell roughly 18,500 tickets at about $1,000 a pop. That's some cheddar right there.

And sell 2000 Bobby Nicks burgers at $789 a pop. Now that's some cheddar right there.

Selling about 600,000 McDavid jersyes at about $7362 a pop. That's some real Gouda

the stanley cup final tickets are about 3k to 5k a pop. you need to double your number lol!

And how many $15 beers and stupidly overpriced concession foods?

So far the playoffs have added an extra 18million to edmontons economy. This was pre current round.

Oh man I shouldn't chuckle, but picturing unwashed Flames fans reading that while they're sitting in their own filth must sting extra hard right now.

It's added 18million to Calgary's liquor economy, but put a 19million strain on their healthcare

Danielle Smith gleeful at the thought.

These numbers are usually bullshit. They take the number of fans and average amount spent on tickets, food, drinks etc. but they always assume the money wouldn't be spent in any other way. As if the person who can afford $1000 seats for hockey might not go out for a nice dinner if there wasn't hockey playing. Or might go see a live show or buy a new TV etc. It's like when you hear the news report the cost of a disaster or something as costing $600,000 when they take the salary of emergency responders etc but don't account for the fact that they would have been working anyways so it's not like the money could be saved.

No, major sporting events objectively stimulate the local economy.

I don't think that was being disputed, I think the size of the number was in dispute.

I think the key word is *local*. More employees working bars and restaurants, not just on game days either, more uber/lyft drivers working, I work at west ed mall and we've added extra shifts as more people are in town for games/watch parties and are staying at the mall hotel or are there before going to watch parties etc.

Easily. I recall Warriors playoff games being estimated 10 million for playoff games. 15+ million for finals. Oilers are not probably far off in Canadian dollars though.

The *cheapest* tickets in Edmonton in Game 4 were for around $260, with the average being quite a bit higher. Multiply that *lowest* price by 18,500 tickets and you're close to five million, even assuming every ticket is the cheapest and nobody buys food, booze, or merch. I would be genuinely shocked if gate + food / alcohol + merch sales didn't top $10m, and possibly quite a lot higher.

The face value of the cheapest ticket in Edmonton for the SCF is $450. The cheapest lower bowl ticket is over $1000

The purpose is to demonstrate that the other commenters point is still valid even in the most unfair and pessimistic set of assumptions, not to attempt a reasonable revenue projection.

For an Oilers home SCF game the ticket revenue is over $15,000,000. And then you have merch, beer, and food. The face value for season ticket holders in the corner of the lower bowl is $1030.

Scalper prices were nearly into the five figures, from what I saw. But with that said if I had a pair of tickets I paid $1k each for and could flip 'em for $8k each, it would be hard not to.

Each home playoff game is about 2 million in revenue

Just make sure his horse isn’t racing at the same time as the game

That phone ALMOST met its maker. The bottle did.

So i guess he DOES have some amount of self control lol.  In that time he coulda used it

Guys acted like you had it in the bag an now its slippin. You gave Edmonton momentum and now they smell blood.

Bob showing why he's Bob and not in the argument for top 10 all time. It has to be in his head now. That was.... not good from him again.

Hes always been inconsistent. Theres a reason why his contract was known as one of the worst in the league for years.

For all the talk earlier on, Skinner's got a better SV% in this series now than Bob: ||Series SV%| :--|--:| |Skinner|90.2%| |Bob|89.6%|

It's last year all over again. Playing out of his mind all playoffs then crumbling in the finals

After game 4, there was hope. After game 5, there is belief and Panthers have to have the seed of doubt planted. Lebrun had a piece the other day and both Jared Stoll and Justin Williams both said how it was game 5 when the belief set in. It's not a matter of if a team reverse sweeps again in the SCF but when and I say the time is now.

Yeah belief and doubt are powerful when both teams are so good skill wise.

Imagine building the greatest team u can only for the worlds best player showing u why he’s the worlds best player lmao

This guys the reason they take the bottle caps when you buy drinks at the games

Zito’s about to make OEL ride the bus to Edmonton.

They should tell the fans to not boo “O Canada”. At the beginning of the anthem was totally unnecessary at the beginning of the broadcast.

I'm pleased that the singer for o canada was better than the singer for the star spangled banner. Usually Florida will hire some busker or the physiotherapist's cousin to do O Canada before bringing out the *real* anthem singer.

They rush through the Canadian anthem as if it's an insult, without realising that's how we *like* it sung. The American anthem always gets given the three octave bells-and-whistles treatment and it's *interminable*.

I've always said that you can be the worst singer ever, but if you hold the word "free" for a long time, they'll love you.

I love the plug that the announcer dropped for the US anthem singer. Shameless

I felt kind of bad, because on that last note she went for the octave jump and her voice just went, "nah." Not sure about you, but I've definitely had that when speaking.

As a male who went through puberty, my answer is yes

lmao

It's Florida. Nothing more needs to be said.

Was there lower bowl, nobody boo’d either anthem.

I was at the game and personally did not hear any booing for the anthem

this makes me happy

I think he needs a snickers.

💦💦💦

Of course he’s mad, the next chance to win the cup at home would also be a potential elimination game for them.

Ekman-Larsson just stopped playing and let McDavid clinch the game. Fair reaction imo

Panther's are about to get Red Wedding'd

Bro looked like he was trying to melt something with his eyes

https://preview.redd.it/2tog0sky3g7d1.jpeg?width=998&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f259cf0b95a1e778d69a14bb311731c2e3484da5

But when BINNINGTON does it...

Panthers fans, players, coaches, management should be very, very, very concerned. When you have a force like McJesus pinned down by the throat, you don’t pull off your disappearing act like the 8-1 shit kicking. That game gave McDavid and the Oilers all the belief they needed that they were the superior team. McJesus has been resurrected. A game 7 is all but secured, imo.

I would say now Oilers are going to win the cup. They are so hot... only one positive for Panthers is that they finally started playing after sweet 2:12 run when PP means hands-shake for them.

I wouldn’t bet against 97 now. No way.

The Panthers are just overall not the kind of organization I want to root for. They rush O Canada and fans boo through it, they play really dirty and embellish, and the management (and Paul Maurice) display an anger that makes me worry for their players. Win or lose, Edmonton's coach is a gentleman and cares about his team. The Oilers are classy. I saw Oilers fans sing the lyrics to the American anthem and they have the nicest players! I am now a big fan!!! Go Oilers!!!!!!!!!

I know it does not take much to outclass Florida but still, good job Edmonton. Stay on the high road.

The rest of the guys leaving picked up the pace after that lol

Can’t really fault him ,team is playing like ass the last two games and Edmonton is also just playing great as well.

He should be pissed. His team didn’t even start playing their game last night until it was already 3-0. They deserved that L.

Get fucked

Don’t blame him. Imagine putting this roster together and this is how they show up.

To pull a line from Jordan Binnington….they look nervous.

I get it, they could have won it all at home. Now doubt will be talked about

We had that feeling when the Canes made it 3-2. Then Kreider went crazy and saved us.

I feel this way when I have to leave warm sunny Florida to return to Edmonton too

Florida in summer is dreadful

This needed to be a gif, it's so good https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZjhpZWloMGdwN2s3ZXg1MHhvanJrejB2dTd4MjN6bTQ0NWNocjNpcyZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/8ZvG3HA2cGoTX7fb5E/giphy.gif

That is some Ari Gold energy

Unpopular opinion. That guy has serious anger management issues.

Humor me here. I'm an aerospace engineer. If I acted like that on the job, I'd be shown the door so fast heads would be spinning. Why do we tolerate it in sports?

Inject this shit straight into my veins -salty bruins fan

I’ll always like Paul Maurice and they’re a pretty likeable team but that reporter who said McJesus was average irked me so fucking much.  Florida teams have earned the right to be arrogant, but act like you know.  Game should respect game.  

> they’re a pretty likeable team I love Maurice, but if you have Bennett and Tkachuk there's no way you are a likeable team

Greg Cote. The guy is a total fucking tool. His takes on hockey are pretty much what you'd expect from a Floridian who doesn't have a clue about the game.

Tito Ortiz looking ass

Better get more water bottles for the next game..He’s gonna need them

what a sore loser

Isn’t that the GM whose dad is friends with one of the refs? 🧐

He was fine, he just felt like emphatically recycling that empty water bottle.

Bill zito why are you so pissy!!

What a baby

He's rattled. You love to see it.

Hehehe

Dubas did it better.

This is like billionaire dudes version of girls stairway moment lol

I like the synchronized walk away from the water bottle

Someone get Clarkson in there to defend the bottle

Roids and coke are a bad combination
