looks like the coaches appreciate what Sprong is doing

[alta]

every single time there has been a game on a national channel there has been zero pregame on the tv, I feel like this is new this year, and it sucks

       I was just complaining to my wife about no pregame. I dont think she gives a shit though.

A'ernoon!

A'ernoon!
 

O'rnin!


Puck drop 12:25 


I's supposed to be making and cooking a pizza during intermission but looks like it'll have to be paused and dvr'd now.    Prolly catch up around the start of the 2nd period.. 

[BarfingMonkey]

I hope Zibanijad gets his hair caught somewhere along the boards.

great stop by Sammy

[Chaos43]

      I'm getting sick of these commentators bashing Wilson.

[alta]

that didn’t go in

just a tad

[Chaos43]

that didn’t go in

   It didn't completely cross the line.

[Surreylily]

These comms are just bloody awful!   
They don't even try to hide their bias.

[Chaos43]

   We got very lucky there but I'm sure it was a turnover in the neutral zone by Panik that caused the problems.

[richkrt99]

Howdy gang. I’m just in so about 20 min behind. I’ll catch up later

[Chaos43]

that didn’t go in

      The ref calling that a goal originally is more evidence that NHL officials need better training. If the official isn't absolutely sure the puck crossed the line then he is supposed to wave it off. A product of video replay. They know they don't have to get it right because replay will fix their mistake.

      You aren't kidding. These guys are brutal.

[alta]

   It didn't completely cross the line.

that hit didn't cross any line that isn't crossed by 40 other players on weekly basis,
if Willy had pulled the guys hair Willy would've gotten 10 games instead of just the CBA permitted maximum fine
