pastajoe Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 So Utica it is, then, because getting an Uber in Rome is near impossible. Also, what's the date? It’s Tues Sept 25. I’ll bet the teams will stay at the Turning Stone Casino if they stay overnight. And then there’s this: Now, the next question is: Will the NHL preseason game be played at Clinton Arena — which was famously rebuilt after a fire burned the building first finished in 1949 — or the Adirondack Bank Center at the Utica Memorial Auditorium? According to Orsino, that decision will be made mid-June. He has been in talks with the NHL, and it is his indication that the league is picking between the historic village of Clinton rink or the downtown Utica staple. https://www.google.com/amp/www.uticaod.com/sports/20180518/buffalo-columbus-to-play-nhl-preseason-game-in-mohawk-valley%3ftemplate=ampart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Seems a bit disingenuous to play anywhere but the building that was awarded doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 It’s Tues Sept 25. I’ll bet the teams will stay at the Turning Stone Casino if they stay overnight. Is there anywhere else to stay? Seems a bit disingenuous to play anywhere but the building that was awarded doesn't it? If it's not in that building, I'm not going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Is there anywhere else to stay? Are you kidding?? There's a lovely Econo Lodge in Rome. It's in a terrific part of town right past some railroad tracks next to a Denny's where I saw a man stabbed to death. Then there's the Rome motel, the Hotel Utica and I'm sure there's a red roof inn somewhere in there. No, seriously, Turning Stone is the only place to stay.

ubkev Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 If it's not in that building, I'm not going. Remember all the rinks in Youngblood? It's like that, but crappier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to do that. Turningstone is annoying. Remember all the rinks in Youngblood? It's like that, but crappier. That sounds perfect!

LTS Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 All I could think of is Old Time Hockey, eh? I searched for an image, I came across this one. It's pretty awesome and since it's we have a really awesome artist on this forum I figured I would share this image. Along with the link to the artist at DeviantArt - https://ryanwrobel.deviantart.com/art/Old-Time-Hockey-582233413 Some good stuff in that profile.

pastajoe Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Is there anywhere else to stay? If it's not in that building, I'm not going. There’s a lot of brand hotels around, even some just outside the casino near the Thruway. But there’s not any right near the Clinton Arena. This is still pretty much how the inside of the arena looks before the makeover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 ...why? This Kypreos: "Talks with Tavares and Lamoriello, I heard they went well, at least he is interested in hearing what Lamoriello has to say...Listen, a week ago we thought there was no hope for Tavares to re-sign with NYI, at best now people are telling me, 50-50" #Isles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to know that Tavares had little confidence in the leadership of the organization. Lamoriello at least brings a level of competence. Whether it's enough remains to be seen.

Taro T Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Well now I want to know why Toronto pushed him out of the door Pretty sure the plan was for him to only stay there for 3 years when he signed on. Really doubt he was pushed out as much as he didn't want to be part of a decision making team. He was THE man in Joisey & will be again (unfortunately) on the Island (Brooklyn is on LI ;)). Darn shame, liked having Snow calling their shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
