My lost to the Canucks last night. They started slow and you can't do that against a team like Vancouver, But I will tell you, the third period was INTENSE. Carolina was the better team by then but Thatcher Demko was a rock. Great hockey to watch.

Many NHL teams do things like Mom's Night/Trip. The took players moms to Boston for a game and then honored them at a home game. The most common statement seemed to be "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my mom!"

On one hand, the game is back on Bally Sports where the announcers are just slightly worse than chemo.

On the other hand, I get to watch the same 4 commercials for 3 hours.

game on TNT/MAX.
Pros: No Hurricanes announcers, Henrik Lundqvist
Cons: Paul Bissonnette

The have 28 shots and Minnesota has 6. The defense is doing well. But MIN is winning 2-1.

I love Antti Raanta. But he's just not cutting it this season. He's always been a bit streaky but not like this.

So the have their 4th string goalie, Yaniv Perets, in the net. He was playing college hockey a year ago.

I don't want to say the have the same half dozen commercials but they do.

I swear, if I have to suffer this commercial again, I might lose it.

Wacky game tonight. Both teams lost goalies. But the final was the on top 6-3. Aho and Svechnikov put up points. Aho has 26 in last 14 games, Svechnikov has 15 in the last 8.

There goes the hot goalie, Pyotr Kochetkov. Injured. Another fight. Wild night.

I remember the days when if you hated the television coverage, you could turn on the radio and listen to different announcers.

I might just take a pair of scissors to my ears.

Actual conversation during the game last night

Me: looks like Ponomarev has a future in the NHL.

<bio flashes on screen>

Wife: Holy .. he's younger than our marriage!
Me: Damn.
Wife: We're old, Graci.
Me: On the bright side, we feel even older!
Wife: Don't remind me.

One day, I'm going to take a stopwatch and track how much time the announcers waste on things other than calling the game.

Also one day I will play a Tripp Tracy drinking game. It exists but needs modification.

These probably should not be the same day.

"Now you're cooking with oil, gas, and gravy!"
JFC. Who the hell says this?
The color guy, Tripp Tracy, that's who. Kill me now.
