Title: NHL Hockey's BACK BABY!
Post by: PsychoticPondGoons on July 29, 2020, 03:06:13 PM: About time a hockey game got played. :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox:

I couldn't believe how much I liked watching warm up games with plastic wrap all over the seats. Looked like a 2018 WJC game in Buffalo LOL :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Maybe the fact they're Mets fans makes it creepier. LOL

Post by: Mordecai on July 29, 2020, 08:04:29 PM: I like the NHL setup in the 2 arenas. There's still music and organ beats. I think I even hear crowd noise added to the game coverage.

Post by: PigsRule on July 30, 2020, 03:56:15 AM: Really enjoying the exhibitions games. Players seem to be going hard to shake the rust from a 4 month layoff.
Title: Re: NHL Hockey's BACK BABY!
Post by: Wundermaan on July 30, 2020, 10:53:46 AM: The Mets and their disproportionate fan cardboard cutout heads scattered through the stands is a sad example of a league that has questionable judgement and operates with a eye on financial gain rather than a genuine fan experience. I swore off baseball after the sign stealing fiasco.

Post by: Godzilla on July 30, 2020, 03:28:58 PM: I swore off baseball ages ago. Better off watching little league if you really want to watch the game in its purest form. But that's just me.
Title: Re: NHL Hockey's BACK BABY!
Post by: TheBeef on July 30, 2020, 08:58:00 PM: The players are definitely showing lots of rust. It'll take a solid 2 weeks to get their timing up to speed.

Amazing to be watching hockey in July!

Post by: Mordecai on August 03, 2020, 05:58:33 PM: Games have been amazing to watch over the last 3 days.
Stalock was incredible for the Wild while posting a goose egg.
Habs Jeff Petry had a memorable winner in OT against the Pens.
Flyers were dominant vs the Canes.

Post by: Rock On on August 10, 2020, 12:30:47 AM: Can't believe the Leafs got their a$$ handed to them. So much talent. So little heart. Matthews. Marner. Nylander. Taveras. Rielly. Andersen.

They had the best offence since Keefe took over. Sad state of affairs in Toronto.

The silver lining is Toronto could end up getting Alexis Lafreniere.

Post by: PsychoticPondGoons on August 12, 2020, 05:46:12 PM: 8 periods of hockey in Gm1 between :CLS: v :TBL: Incredible!

Thought we might get the same with "BOS-NHL: v :CAR-NHL: today.
Feels great to watch hockey in August.

Great work by the league.

:iatp: Couldn't agree more. Impressive organization and planning by the NHL.

Post by: PsychoticPondGoons on August 28, 2020, 11:18:50 AM: Good to see the NHLPA face the NHL to do the right thing with the boycott/postponement.

I do see how NHLers are less impacted by the state of the Blake shooting given how removed they are from the states. I mean the NHL is in Toronto AND EDMONTON. You can't get further north without seeing Polar Bears. 24hrs slow to react is reasonable but I understand why the NHL players didn't react as quickly as MLS, MLB and NBA who are all living in Trump-land.

Post by: Godzilla on August 30, 2020, 04:26:18 PM: Flyers HC Alain V. Not sure I liked his statement. Lacked true understanding of the damaging statement he made.
