Agreed that it sucks like Pamela Anderson at a Motel 6, but realistically we only looked completely outclassed in 1 period of 12 (not counting OT). Aside from that blip--the 1st period against the Stormin' Mormons, They have looked a lot better and cohesive. Not a finished product, mind you, but not a bunch of beer leaguers. Our record could easily be 2-2-0 or 3-1-0 instead of 1-2-1 with some better bounces--as someone on the O-boards mentioned.

It's a step in the right direction of the rebuild in my opinion. A long way to go but we're not motionless at the starting gates.
Good to hear. I appreciate your post. I can only see Nationally TV games. Do watch YouTube highlights.

ESPN+ with NordVPN has been working for me.
Try it out. 30 day $ back on Nord and it's worth it for Rick Ball.

Yeah...that sucks. It's like $bill all over again and I know most here aren't soccer fans, but it's like the MLS/Apple TV debacle.

In a nutshell: MLS got rid of *all* local broadcasts and has taken over *all* broadcasting (with commentary on the same quality as Leah Hextall, Casey Chelios, Chris Vosters doing hockey, and Colby Cohen), made it so you can only watch games on a package costing about as much as Center Ice, except for 2 random "free" game a week, and never the derby matches--whether you're in or out of market

Because that's how you grow an market a league.

And they wonder why piracy is on the rise.

I personally would follow @ytsejam 's advice: ESPN+ with a VPN outside of the Chicago area.

Taylor Hall is back.

Hawks are going to be interesting and curious to see what they do.

Seems like they are making a good effort to win. If they decide to sell they will have lots to cherry pick a few moves for premium picks.

I didn't see the first period and they were cruising there for a while. Disappointed in the two goals given up as they seemed to have the boot on their throats but twarted a lot of empty net time which cost them a point not too long ago and can sleep in their own beds tonight.

Since late last season the Sharks have been pretty good at manufacturing energy goals when they decide to hustle together, and we were adjusting to losing a veteran D-man early season while still learning each other.

Sharks scored twice on Dallas when Stars hadn't given up a goal in 130 minutes for example.

More important and pertinent, is that Bedard is a scoring point guard, has a nasty Bushido cutter shot, and savant like hockey IQ with autistic peripheral motion tracking feature.
