NHL Season: 2022-2023
What a disappointing development. Have always enjoyed Phoenix as an NHL city. Lots of frostbacks there during the summer. Truth be told, Phoenix is just a disappointing sports town when you look at Suns, Diamondbacks and Cardinals fanbases. And from a hockey players perspective, I think I'd much rather live in Phoenix than Quebec City, Houston or Kansas City.

Get used to it. This is not a Stanley Cup winning team.

Presti At It Again - OKC Thunder All-Inclusive Thread
Count me in as looking forward to the off season and next year. What a fun team to follow this year. The Williams picks were great. My major frustration this season was the lack of crowd support. Dead last in the league in attendance. Went to a lot of games this year and some you would have thought we were experiencing an ice storm outside. Oklahoma City is such a mediocre sports town. Drives me nuts.

Tulsa King with Stallone
Surprised this hasn't been posted....... There was a shootout over the weekend at the Whiskey Barrel Saloon in SW OKC that killed three bikers and injured three others. Just a fight between two rival biker gangs. What's interesting about this is that this is the bar where they shot the exterior shots for Tulsa King. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RST_IAlyyio

NBA 2022-2023 Season Thread
Agreed. Was at the game and the hillbilly behind us was literally spitting on us with his overly enthusiastic booing. But they sure love them some Chris Paul.

The Japan Thread
That's cool you got to enjoy Japan. Amazing place. Can I ask what you paid for your airfare? I've been pretty stunned at the prices I've seen this year.

The Japan Thread
No, you don't. Go solo and explore the country on your own. You'll meet lots of great folks. As for the Google Map, I lived in Tokyo before the days of the keitai. Imagine trying to find addresses on your own when you have an appointment. Fun times.

Awesome crowd experience tonight with the ultra-classy fanbase in our section. Interesting to know now how many Texans don't know the rulebook.

Howard Stern Show
I recommend his podcast. It's the one thing that is at least one guaranteed belly laugh per episode. Dude is extremely witty.

Any word on Dallas going after Horvat? Would be a good fit on your roster.

Dallas Stars 2022-2023 season thread
Just curious if anyone else noticed that construction fiasco that occurred outside right before the Leafs game on Tuesday. A couple of cars and a few people got pummeled by wet cement and rocks. Lawyers have definitely been called. Why they were doing that while thousands of people were entering the arena was one of the dumbest things I've ever witnessed at a sporting event.

Tulsa King with Stallone
My truck made it in the scene at the 10-minute mark where Stallone gets picked up at the hotel (gray truck behind the Caprice). So this is clearly my favorite episode so far.

Dallas Stars 2022-2023 season thread
You've got that right. I thought all those fans that got up to leave at 9:37 of the third - and there a lot - were going to regret it. Would have loved to have seen their faces when they got home and saw the final score.

NHL Season: 2022-2023
Pittsburgh is a good barn with decent fans. If you hit NHL road games, I'd say - aside from the obvious Montreal's and Toronto's - two you have to put up there are Madison Square Garden and Staples Center with the Kings. But most impressive arena to me is Edmonton. That thing is like the year 2071.

Dallas Stars 2022-2023 season thread
First time I've been to a Stars game this year. Best game I've been to in a while. A few worthless observations..... 1 - Watching Makar and MacKinnon on that 3 on 3 OT was a thing of beauty. Dallas looked like a huff and puff beer league team out there. 2 - Enjoyed Benn getting KO'd.....by Dave Manson's son, no less. 3 - Great crowd. I'm not a Stars fan but have to give it up to the fanbase. That place was rockin for a Monday night. 4 - Marchment doesn't impress me at all. Looked like he was hungover out there. 5 - Still love Pavelski. Guy does everything. Great signing. 6 - Ticket prices have definitely increased this year. Bummer.

Tulsa King with Stallone
Stallone does have some legit laugh out loud comments.

Tulsa King with Stallone
I'll add one more location. The crappy motel he checks into is the Catalina Motel at 4801 South Shields. They had plenty of crappy motels to choose from in Oklahoma City and did a fine job with this one.

Tulsa King with Stallone
My guess would be the former Myriad Convention Center - across from the Paycom Center - has been converted into a movie studio. The interior set for the bar is in there. Pretty impressive. We did some exterior shots around downtown Oklahoma City. For example, the former newspaper building at NW 4th and Broadway was used as the Mayo Hotel for the series. The Dispensary Gas Station is at 310 South Klein in OKC.

Das Boot series on Hulu
I haven't seen this show (saw the movie years ago) but did tour the U-505 at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago over the weekend. Highly recommended. They said those U-boats did not have any shower or bathing facilities, normally averaged 95-degree temps and could be at sea three months at a time. No showers for 3 months. And supposedly each crew member was issued two pairs of underwear. Seriously? No Bathing Facilities on U-Boats Led to Constant Outbreaks of Skin Diseases & Revolting Smell Inside the Boats - Paperblog

Tokyo Vice. Michael Mann. HBO Max.
If you're a fan of Tokyo based settings and Japanese culture, I recommend a movie on Hulu called 'Lost Girls and Love Hotels'. Not bad.

American Underdog - Kurt Warner's Story
Saw it last night. Anyone familiar with the Oklahoma City metro area had to get a mild kick out of the locations. The Rams and UNI field was clearly UCO in Edmond (didn't think to cover up the logo?) and the Arena League action was obviously the State Fairgrounds. They're tearing that arena down pretty soon so kind of cool to get that on film. Believe it or not, a lot of hockey greats and Stanley Cup winners played in that barn (Cheevers, Sanderson, Cashman, Pronovost, Parise, Parent, Crisp, Goldsworthy, Sather, Leach, Lonsberry, Dallas Smith, etc. etc.)

Tulsa King with Stallone
If you have any familiarity with Oklahoma City, it should be a fun series to watch. Most of it is being filmed in OKC. That gas station at the 4 second mark is right across the street from the Farmer's Market. Not the best location in town. They have security there 24/7 to keep an eye on the place. According to one of the security guards I spoke with, they're planning on turning that into a tourist location to sell souvenirs if the show takes off like a Yellowstone or Soprano's.
