I can't imagine many fans of other teams dreaded having a 5 on 3 like I did last year.

What about Qanon?! Any mention of that? That's where the good stuff is....

For the most part, the PP looks fine today. It's the PK that is 0/2.

I think he finally got the hint after ranting to them for 20 minutes straight without the other group speaking. He was probably about to mention lizard people too, shucks.

Okay, but are we talking about last year (which was a nightmare I am trying to forget) or this year? And for me, the PP looks substantially improved.

listened to the first period while mowing the lawn, then tuned in and watched the second.



Maybe i should go back to the radio coverage, as the flames looked pretty meh there in the second.

I like the wall of soundproof glass they have between the players and the fans when they do their walk from the dressing room now. No more chance they'll get heckled the whole way.

Agreed, the PK has looked awful today. Really hope they work on that during practice over the next 3 days.

The Lizard Men survive by convincing people they dont exist.

I'm not concerned about the power play. I think putting Neal and Monahan back into the lineup may help with converting the puck movement into goals. Also, I think it's clear as day they have not worked on their 5 v 3 very much.

Just watched the highlight package on the stream... so I assume it's 43-0 for McDavid right now?

Pretty hard to blame Smith when all the goals are Flames giveaway's or them literally scoring on him. I know the optics of the shots don't look good

Hopefully that confidence to shoot will come.

Takes time to work on new things with new players, I am sure they will go over video and fine tune what they need to work on.

It's just absolutely disgusting that when I broke my clavical (sp?) skiing I had to go to the hospital and get xrays and painkillers and a sling and do physio for months after and then when I had respiratory problems and had to go the hospital again and saw a respiratory specialist and got all kinds of breathing tests and after all that, I had to pay zero dollars. What a ####in scam. I'll never go to a hospital again, #### that. Ridiculous.
