ESPN killed it with this

ESPN caring about hockey again is weird.

 

Ended up getting ESPN+, half the price that nhl.tv was, and should be able to watch every NYR game in some way except for those on NHL network.

 

The Preds made history last night

…by becoming the first team to lose to the new Seattle Kraken

 

Fun game last night. Igor has been in a zone this week

 

Nice to see him finally getting out from under Dr Frankenstein’s shadow

 

Big ups to the Rangers for putting another quarter turn on the screws.

I’ve had my fill of Poile, Hynes, and the “competitive rebuild” or whatever the [uck fay]. Although I’m sure we are in for another year of “Poile has earned the chance to right the ship”

Nice to see Tomasino get his first though

 

Benefit of Strome having Covid is its getting Chytil some top 6 time as a C and he's shown a lot. Still mad about the Buchnevich trade for Blais, but Sammy is a cannonball and he's growing on me.

Preds, I don't know, man. Not a legitimate contender, not bad enough to be in the lottery, middle of the road farm system. Its a position where they're better off being bad then trying to be 7 or 8 seed mediocre

 

Blais just doesn’t do it enough for whatever reason.

 

That's what I've gathered, frustrating because the flashes are intermittent. So far, so good anyway

 

The Canes/Canadiens rivalry of pettiness is just absolutely hilarious to me. To anyone who still has an Athletic subscription, this article hits most of the high points, from a behind-the-scenes perspective of the Carolina social media team:https://theathletic.com/2907713/202...top-trolls/?amp#click=https://t.co/n5FrIKmWA4

 

That’s exactly it. The worst thing that could have happened last year was that hot streak being in full swing near the deadline. Of course, my philosophy is basically “if you have pieces to move and think you should sell, you should sell. If you have pieces to move and think you should stand pat, you should sell.”

 

4-0 road trip, didn't play any heavyweights but 8 points count all the same.

 

Metro team lose a non-division game challenge!

(But not the Canes please)

 

The Blues are scoring goals for fun

 

Preds are allowing goals for fun

 

Tomasino is gonna be the best forward we’ve ever developed though

 

Hopefully. He looks good so far. Hynes needs to go soon if they continue this slide. Poile may be right behind him.

 

Metro division teams are now 19-3-6 in all games against members of the other three divisions. I miss the Central.

 

Early season firing would be best, then we can elevate Karl Taylor like we should have done last time

Or maybe try to get Grönburg
