![]() It's a bucket list game, a bucket list moment. We love the fact that when a fan comes in the building, first of all, they're getting an experience that they're never going to forget. ![]() "This year in Carolina, we constantly had moments throughout the game where things were always happening. "One of the things that we've done whether it was in Nashville (2022) or in Dallas (2020) or this past year in Carolina, it's our goal that we put together an interactive event, so every time out something is happening in the arena that kind of leans into where we're at," Mayer said. Mayer said there will also be plenty of events off the ice to make the event special for all fans. Our goal is to bring our field to life and that stadium to life and we're very confident that when everybody gets to see it for the first time, they'll go, 'Wow.'" We're going to look at all the things that that New Jersey area has to offer and the tri-state area, frankly, because we do have four teams playing. As it always is with any of our outdoor games, it's our goal that when somebody tunes in to watch this, whether they're in the New York area, they're in Iowa, they're in California or they're overseas, they know we're playing in New Jersey. "It's a big NFL stadium and it's our goal to just take it and bring it to life in a way that frankly, we haven't necessarily seen that much. "Our 'wow' factor comes with how we take what is a football field or a stadium and just bring it to life in a unique and creative way," Mayer said. No matter what time the games are played, Mayer said the event will have a New Jersey feel. Mayer said the Devils-Flyers game will likely be a night game, but it's unclear what time of day the Rangers and Islanders will play. "There's been many iterations of what we wanted to do here, but when we started getting into the matchups, the game, the tri-state area and the great hockey that right now is being played in the New York area, we felt like, 'Wouldn't this be unique and different?' And always trying to keep the Stadium Series and all our outdoor games fresh and the ideas fresh, wouldn't it be great to go with a doubleheader?" So we also had been talking to them on and off and been interested for a long time. "MetLife is an extremely difficult place to think about doing a Winter Classic because of the two NFL teams that are in that building, the Jets and the Giants. It's always been an interest of ours," NHL executive vice president and chief content editor Steve Mayer said Saturday. "We had always wanted to go back to play a game at MetLife Stadium. MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Football Giants and New York Jets of the NFL, will host its first NHL outdoor games. 17 and the Rangers will face the Islanders on Feb. ![]()

In the meantime, the kitchen is getting ready to once again send out thousands of dumplings and other familiar items from the menu, which is still the same, save for a few additions, like a Chinese chicken casserole for the holidays. But they were held up waiting for supplies that were stuck at ports - global supply chain issues related to the pandemic. The restaurant had planned to open last June, third-generation owner Truman Lam had told Side Dish earlier this year. Days later, the landlord began to demolish the treasured space. “We weren’t a public space but we sort of served as one, since there isn’t a lot of public space in Chinatown,” Leo said of the old space that opened in 1972, but that lost 85 percent of its revenue before closing in March 2020.

Still, it’s too soon to give the all-clear signal, especially as the Omicron variant looms and there remains a lot of work to be done to rebuild from the carnage the virus inflicted on the neighborhood, which was especially hard-hit when tourists evaporated.

And it’s part of a broader brightening of the picture for Chinatown. It will be a welcome sight for a place that was the hub of a community - with weddings, birthdays, tourist visits and especially get-togethers of the area’s elderly. But like the phoenix decorations brought from the old Elizabeth Street spot to hang on the walls of the new place, Jing Fong’s reopening underlines that after COVID lockdowns decimated Chinatown, its restaurants are starting to rise again.

There’s no doubt the aggression will have to pick up in a more consistent manner, but Adebayo did his job this season, and that game 7 proved the focal points of this Heat group.Ĭlearly Adebayo is locked into contract and isn’t going anywhere, so what’s next for him is much more game-based. When they lose, it’s easy to look over at his stat-line and make that the reason it occurred, but it truly isn’t the full story. In the mix of things throughout the season, Adebayo receives a lot of blame from the public. Games 3 and 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals showed flashes again on the other end, mostly about the hope of what he would look like as a full-time third option on the offensive end. One of the league’s best defenders, even if the voters couldn’t recognize that. Offensively he may have his ups and downs on picking when to go and be aggressive, but his impact was felt from game 1 to game 100. Basically the playoff motto for the Heat in this recent run: get Jimmy Butler some help. Watching him put it all out there in this post-season showed one thing that we probably already knew: build fully around Butler to get this group over the hump. It’s just building a roster to get him that ring that he so very deserves, which was one of the primary reasons he landed in Miami in the first place. Yet for Jimmy Butler, it’s about just the opposite. When talking about the next steps for individual players, I’m going to do a lot of talking about simple on-court improvements or the next stage of a contract/trade possibility. Y’all can have fun with NBA player rankings, but Butler cemented himself as a clear top 10 player in today’s league. We all know about his defensive excellence when surrounded by strong defenders, but carrying the offensive load yet again to this degree was eye opening. And in Butler’s case, he capitalized in both of those fields.įrom MVP ladder rankings to begin the year to a 47 point masterpiece in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals facing elimination, it’s no doubt that it was a terrific season. Sometimes a season is remembered by how you start, and other times by how you finish. When talking about the Miami Heat, you must start out with the headliner, which is clearly Jimmy Butler. But you can’t fully look ahead until you evaluate the past, so let’s take a brief look throughout the roster to establish both what happened and what’s next… So, now that it’s officially off-season time, it’s time to project forward. Business.Looking back over this season for the Miami Heat, they finished as the first seed in the Eastern Conference, yet capped out in the Eastern Conference Finals in game 7, one win, or one shot, away from another NBA Finals appearance. ![]() But also never get too caught up in the emotional bonds. So in that regard, figure on Andy Elisburg and Pat Riley having a bit more capital to work with. And Micky Arison previously has paid, and paid big, when it has come to his teams being in contention. The difference is that after a season that led you into contention, you also weigh the costs of the luxury tax. So it’s not about who you are retaining or trading or losing, it’s about shaping the best possible contending 15-player roster. From there, you then assess the competition, particularly the teams you view as leading contenders and competitors, and then assess the challenges they might present. Then you do what you always should do – take stock of every asset in place, from those under contract, to impending free agents, to draft capital. First you let the balance of the postseason play out, no matter how it plays out. Now, it’s as if the entire roster needs to be untouchable. Do you see any lost this summer to desperate teams throwing big money at them? – Jack, Valencia, Spain.Ī: The irony here is that in March and April, the external attitude when it came to the Heat’s impending free agents was to blow the whole thing up, not to double down on the type of move made with Duncan Robinson, or even before that when James Johnson and Dion Waiters were retained.
