Re: Random Hockey Thread
From: (Anonymous)And yeah, sport1 of all sites gave me a glimpse into the weird history there (didn't get into hockey until a couple years ago), and yes it's really hard to believe that they were looking for a new owner when they made that announcement with five days left!
And I'm also clueless about why they wouldn't have sold to Red Bull if it would've netted them a profit? Maybe they wouldn't have liked a strong rival given that Red Bull obviously has money?
But otoh, what was the point of owning a second team themselves, then? Makes the theory that they really only ever wanted the arena once they realized the team wasn't profitable quite plausible.
Re: Random Hockey Thread
From: (Anonymous)Yeah, on top of being shitty it's all just so weird that I'm this close to going full conspiracy theory believer~.
I really wonder what will happen with the Eisbären Berlin down the line, too. The fans I know are mostly like "pffft, it won't happen to us", but I wouldn't be so sure? A couple more bad seasons (that aren't even that bad, you don't know suffering, Berlin!!!) and let's talk then. Apparently AEG wants to invest in the infrastructure around the Mercedes Benz Arena, but it's not like you can't do different things with that arena either... I would not be surprised at all when they announce that they "don't see a profitable market in Germany" in a couple of years.

From: (Anonymous)(just my impression given that they have soccer, Alba and Eisbaeren and while soccer always is a stable presence and the worst thing to ever happen is relegation, probably, both Alba and Eisbaeren have had highs and are now a little bit more down to earth and still lots of support and fans)
would lead to the city chipping in if push came to shove, but with only five days notice - and I wouldn't put it past these owners to do the same shitty thing all over - it might be too little time anyways.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Random Hockey Thread
From: (Anonymous)Berlin has a handball team in the first league too btw (Füchse)! AND a succesful volleyball first league team (BR Volleys). I feel like they have to be successful at sports because they're the capital lol.
Hamburg used to be big in sports too, and not only football, which makes it a bit sadder because not only did they lose their hockey club, their first league handball club (HSV Handball) went bankrupt this year too and was dissolved. And apparently their women's volleyball team lost a sponsor and had to be relegated because of that (from the first league to the second league). (I know too much about German sports apparently, lol.)
It's all about money anyway, so I wish at least the people that had the money in this case would try to be decent people. Fingers crossed for Berlin in the long run now, they have my favourite team name after all (well, 2nd because I'm partial to my team). :D

From: (Anonymous)I thought about it but I wouldn't want to leave a comment with just that and I haven't read the fic yet...

From: (Anonymous)Re: Random Hockey Thread
From: (Anonymous)I obviously know too little about German sports outside of those I care about, (yay for Berlin and oh damn, that really sucks for Hamburg sports, aside of my hate of HSV I really like the city, loved to see Grizzlys games there and teams going away/being relegated due to money issues always sucks :/ )
Fingers crossed for Eisbaeren for sure, and for there to never be "lol, five days" situation ever again.
(Their name is a great one for sure and my forever fave played for them a little while so I really root for them not getting shafted like the Freezers did, apart from obviously no team deserving to be treated that way to begin with :/ )

Re: Random Hockey Thread
From: (Anonymous)Her stats are something else: of the Vics' 228 goals, she scored 150. Just...holy shit. Can you imagine? No wonder they only had 29 GA in all 46 games - she must have never given up the puck.
(The stats for the team are really interesting, actually. 46 games, 45 wins, 1 tie, 29 GA, 16 shutouts - so they allowed exactly 1 goal in for each of 29 games that they won by an average of 4 goals each time, had one 0-0 game, and 16 blowout shutout victories. If they were still around today I would be the most shameless bandwagon fan imaginable.)
Re: Things You Wouldn't Admit Unanon
From: (Anonymous)Re: Random Hockey Thread
From: (Anonymous)But more than anything I'm left with the feeling that for how outstanding an athlete she obviously was, it's a damn shame that instead of being remembered as one of the Greats in her sport, there isn't even a picture of her, that it's not known what became of her, that she just got forgotten by history like that. (And I say this as someone who wouldn't have known about her without that post).

From: (Anonymous)Re: Random Hockey Thread
From: (Anonymous)I feel really sorry for her basically being forced to quit. It's so typical. :( I hope she had a nice life and had fun with whatever she chose to do. It's really quite intriguing (and sad!) that we don't know what she looked like or what became of her. Like, 15 goals in one game! Jesus!!

From: (Anonymous)That being said, the weirdness of his feed makes me miss when Jonathan Quick used to tweet things because my overwhelming response to that was pure, unabashed joy. Here was this dude that generally didn't like attention talking about the rabbits that had been fucking in his backyard. It was truly a loss I grieved over at length.
