I will always love Phil Kessel.

I have no idea how Kaliyev manages to handle a puck with that tape job

Ours are the worst of them all right now, IMO.

I like it,

The kid was doing good rattling off cliches and catch phrases though. He's going to go far professionally.

By the way, I know this is juniors, but holy **** that kid looks like he's 10 years old.

The divisions are getting the sponsor treatment

Why hasn't Pillsbury sponsored icing calls yet?

Got my Center Ice renewal notice in the mail yesterday for I think 171.00 bucks.. Which I think is the normal full season price... hoping it is pro rated once finalized...

Did you receive an updated notification? I did, and now the price is $114.99 (via Verizon FiOS).

If you're not going to the games, you don't need time to get there...

It sucks, but it’s a league reliant on gate receipts that is likely to be extremely limited at best when it comes to butts in seats. Gotta make up for lost revenue somehow. Don’t be surprised when individual lines get sponsored.

I need time to get home though. I'm already taking an hour of leave on 1/13 because my shift doesn't end until 5:30 and with a 30 minute ride home (on a good day) I'd miss the 1st period.
there's a game or two near the end of the season that starts at 8:00 but I'm sure those are NBCSN games. 6:00 on a Tuesday in NJ just seems kind of random.....unless they're trying to get out of Newark before dark. that would make sense.

Oh, people that still *go* to work...bless your soul. I am so sorry...

Plus side, if you can DVR or otherwise restart games, you can do the dodint method (actual username, not the female dog autocorrect) and you'll probably be able to zip right through the 1st and its intermission right into period 2 and join us in the GDT...

And it will remain that way after fans are back.

I remember when the Power Ball Power Play was a hot topic.

I'm down with 6pm games.

My buddy found a streaming site that dvrs the games so you can start them after puck drop and not miss any of the game. You can also watch the game 24 to 48 hours later. Not sure if that would help

This is why I'm defensive about it. I'm okay with it as a concession to the times. But you know it's permanent and they are on the way to looking like a second-tier Euro league.
