HiFi has taken a lot of country acts from Dukes. Dukes is a superior roadhouse venue for real country. HiFi is sterile. Reminds me of the Peach Pit After Dark. Dukes is legit and had Lonestar way before HiFi copied that.

We hang at Dukes quite a bit. Recognized it as a legit Texas Honkeytonk when we moved up here years ago.
Was up there last week, actually. Good place.
It used to be great pre-Covid and before Dustin passed. But it’s still fun. I’ve seen a lot of great shows there.
Just south of downtown Indy. About a mile south of LOS. I’d definitely meet you there and have a few beers.
Not for nothing, but this is some really good hockey and worth watching.
It’s fun to watch the best in the world compete and actually really want to win.
It really does look like an All-Star game, with players from only two countries.
This is not being played like an All-Star game, though. It’s more like a Stanley Cup game 7 between two stacked teams.
But this tournament is replacing the NHL all-star game this year. And I don’t think the NHL will ever go back to the old style all-star game. This tournament has been way too big to not do it every year.
That's a much better description. I just meant that this is clearly top talent and top skill, but you explained what it looks like better than I did.
GOAL Canada.
No joke, this game is incredible, and is really getting me hyped for the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The closest approximation of a Texas honkeytonk you'll find. They even bring up Texas circuit artists. Great place.
Wish IU would add Hockey. Maybe if Football keeps bringing in money.... I think it would draw well though it does overlap with basketball season.
I've said this one million times before, but in the world of sports, there is NOTHING better than sudden death hockey overtime.
Old school NHL rules. 20 minute periods that go on forever until someone scores.
Brutal way to lose. Lost mcjesus on the reversal after he missed the shot off the face off.
We had plenty of chances and played better in OT. Matthews had to finish that chance.

Big Picture: Huge success for hockey and the NHL. They have to do this tournament every year going forward. I can't imagine anytime in the past anyone got this excited about hockey in February.
Agreed, great competition and great for the game. Unlike football, I think hockey is in great shape for the future, despite the injury risk.
I know it’s MN, but the hockey demand continues to go up still. I’ve heard the same in other hotbeds.

Long story short, sports like hockey and *the sport that shall not be named* have a better future than football, which no responsible parent wants their kids to get into.Agreed, great competition and great for the game.

If Russia ever got its shit together they’d be in it too.
Yeah but these aren't National teams in the same way the Olympic teams are. All the players are NHL players, selected based on where they were from. Russia didn't get a team but there are plenty of Russians playing in the NHL (a few more than Finland has). Tomorrow they all go back to being teammates. Still a great tournament, way better than an All Star game.
Binnington was on a heater in that OT. USA had shot after great shot.
Not really old school rules since they use that overtime format throughout the playoffs and last night was a championship game.
He's a hockey goalie. They're all ****ing weirdos. I mean, would you take a hundred mile an hour piece of vulcanized rubber to your face or worse, your groin?
Lord.
