No beer!
I'm home now.You should have beer at work.
You'd have a better chance getting on TV wearing a Clad in Darkness t-shirt.I'm going to the game Saturday. If you're watching I'm the guy in the Bedard jersey (giveaway).
Agree with everything but Korchinski. Last night was a setback but he's been impressive for his age and getting better. We'll see if last night was a blip or a turning point.Hawks were so completely outclassed by a bigger, faster, more skilled, better coached, and more experienced reigning champions, no surprise there especially given it was the tail-end of a road trip.
My early season observations:
Disappointments: Reichel and Korchinski; the former seems all skates and no hands/no D and the latter's defensive awareness and abilities are a major liability. I know it's early and they have each flashed a bit, but not nearly enough to give me hope they can one day be impact players.
Better than expected: Vlasic. Also Seth Jones and Murphy look solid, I feel like those 3 are a nice foundation for a good D. Also Mrazek has been really good.
It's early and the team is only incrementally better than last season but they are playing hard and competing for the most part and are fun to watch, this could be the beginning of the beginning of a really good team in a couple years.
I think Korch has looked better than Murph. Reichel was expecting moreHawks were so completely outclassed by a bigger, faster, more skilled, better coached, and more experienced reigning champions, no surprise there especially given it was the tail-end of a road trip.

Rawring with laughter?I'm in the 300 level with my homeboy.
I'm so fucking high.
Yeah we do. But to be fair, no reason the Avs game couldn't start normal mountain time...especially because they delayed the sport of hockey for the standing around and doing nothing of football.The argument is that it is on national TV on ESPN and they wanted to stagger games. Here's a hint... west coast doesn't care about hockey, east coast will all be asleep and 75% of blackhawks fans will be asleep and drooling by end of the 1st period. Doubt the denver crowd moves the needle.
Absolutely fucking stupid BUT I WILL WATCH THE WHOLE GAME ANYWAYS.
