Brady Tkachuk and the Sens are ready to go...8 x $8.2ish mil. No signing bonus in any of the years (Sens company policy).

Give him the C and let's go...that team is gonna surprise some folks with their ability to score...
Their 1C is who, at this point? A contest winner from the stands?

It will surprise Mikey how they’re still a non-competitive loser squad.
Josh Norris, Shane Pinto, and Chris Tierney down the middle, with the option for Stutzle as well...they were the only team in the NHL not to get shutout last season, Pinto is really good (I had him as a top-15 pick), Josh Norris could get to 55-60 points this year...a lot of people don't know who those young players are in the top 9, but there's a lot of talent there...I don't think they can keep pucks out, but Ottawa should be an over fiesta this year...

So by “surprising” people, you mean they won’t be in, say, the bottom quartile of the league for goal scoring.

No high end talent but some theoretical depth. I guess it worked for Vegas.

Right...they'll be competitive offensively, I suspect...

This is a heart wrenching read.

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/323 ... kivlenieks
"I asked Manny, 'Am I going to be all right for the season?'" Merzlikins said. "Like, this is a lot to take in, holding your little brother that is dying in your hands. And then 10 minutes later, you have to call his mom and ask her how she wants the body of her son. That's a lot. And so I was worried."

One cool thing with the ESPN app for NHL.tv. But only if you have Apple TV

Yeah, hockey doesn't strike me as a good sport to watch multiple games simultaneously.

IMO, the old school picture in picture is best for this type of scenario.

If you're watching more than two games at once, you're watching zero...

Explains Wilbon, then.

(He has a TV room with 4-6 games going at once but also doesn't seem to have an informed opinion on anything.)

That is a considerable better option than being able to shut off scores. I don't have anything Apple or that would certainly be used a lot. What are the sound options during that view?

If you're watching more than two games at once, you're watching zero...

Just because it is on doesn't mean that you are paying attention to it. Watch 2 and only really look at the other two if there is a goal or something worth attention.

It's just an option. You don't have to use it. You just move the cursor over the box of the game you want to hear and it plays the audio of that game. It's nice on CFB Saturdays with a million games going on too

I think it makes more sense for a sport as slow as football, personally.

When it's not a Pens game I'm not really giving my undivided attention. So I may as well have some more options
