2024-25 Game Takes

[The Cobra]

I would prefer full version, but will read any version. Appreciate whatever you want to give us. We really have no right to complain.

[Southern_Canuck]

I'm not even a fan of the team, and I read all of the Game Takes!

Bingo, your even-keel reviews are some of the best hockey content available, and I think that reading your Game Takes has blunted my (sometimes) knee jerk reactions to hockey games...!

Anyway, I would read whatever you feel inclined to write - whether it be short, or even a weekly Game Takes Wrapup.

Interested in whatever you come up with. But would be awesome to a section dedicated to the youngsters / the future since that’s all I really care about this year.

[CsInMyBlood]

I read them all, always appreciated but I would take whatever you want to do.

Always enjoy your write ups!

[BACKCHECK!!!]

Whatever you want to do man, I appreciate it.

[bigrangy]

I like them and typically read them but I can understand the challenge to do so this year, it’s gonna be rough.

They are nice to read as kind of internal reporting rather than just seeing what nonsense SN/TSN posts about the team.

Same here!

[Reggie Dunlop]

Maybe take out the period-by-period recap and focus instead on key moments and your post-game thoughts?

[Enoch Root]

Voted shorter, as a way of saying: would be happy with anything

Is there a need for 82 of them? How about once a week, or something like that, with key points for discussion from all the games that week?

[Ped]

That's a good idea actually. A weekly recap of the games that week, players trending hot and cold and any other stuff you are noticing, and maybe a little update on who is looking good for callups?

[Jiri Hrdina]

Weekly re-cap is an interesting idea particularly given the type of season this will be. Game to game wins/losses are going to matter less. It's the longer-term trends re. young player performance, guys on the trade market, draft position, that will likely matter more.

And perhaps gives Bingo a fresh way of looking at it. I can't imagine the grind with trying to come up with new ways of covering 82 games.

[Calgary4LIfe]

Prefer the long version, the short version will be better than no version at all.


If possible, please continue with the advanced metrics. One of the key portions of your write-up that make it a must-read for me.

Also, thanks for doing this. I am sure it takes a lot of work and probably feels more like a burden some nights, but it is appreciated!

Bingo
You have moderators you trust. This forum has some unbelievably on track level headed contributors that maybe you could share the load with.??

I see about a dozen guys who i love reading what they see in games . Some back it up with stats., but they see things that matter.

Maybe you are the announcer and need some color guys that can share thr load ?

All i know is we all see what we wanna see but sometimes emotions run high or whatever happens happens and we see just negatively and have no positives to talk about.

This year so far as ive seen it ive never witnessed this hockey team have so so much positives to gush over .

Can you contact your favorites? Are there guys willing to help? Do you want help?

Just my 2 cents.....and thanks for committing yourself Bingo as it goes a long way.

[My2Cents]

I love the game takes so thanks for putting the energy into them.

Just a suggestion, but if you are doing a shortened version I like the advance stats breakdown vs the "play by play". I really like your advance stat breakdown and its hard to get that elsewhere. The play by play I can experience watching the game or via other highlights.

I always read them and will read whatever version you decide upon. In addition to your great content, the unhinged* posters don't seem to post in those threads after wins and, thankfully, not after losses.

the best part of those threads

[Willi Plett]

I read them all and really enjoy them. I especially like the fancy stats. Would love a quick rundown of why they won or lost and who performed above/below expectations

[nieuwy-89]

I read them all and really enjoy them. Your writing is concise, objective, well-organized, and you catch little details in the game that I often miss. I’ll take what we you are willing to put out there!

[Yrebmi]

Poll needs an "Interested either way" Option.

I almost always read these - but admit I skim quite a bit sometimes.
Thanks for doing them Bingo.

[Macindoc]

Either short or long, the effort and insight are greatly appreciated. Right up there with the ATL as my primary reason for reading PGTs. And this season, on most nights it might be the only thing worth reading after the game.
