Everything but skating to the blue line to handle the puck.

Chicago on pace for 18 goals

The problem is, I would love Edmonton to lose, but don't want them to win the draft lottery.

2020 has been a total sh!t show but watching hockey on the back deck on a beautiful August 1st afternoon feels nice.

One thing I'm not a fan of is the "cheering" for the away team. Why are they playing Chelsea Dagger after the Blackhawks score? Would like them to only have the cheering/goal music for the home team, maybe even some light booing would funny for the away team.

But, small complaint, I think it's going really well so far and the hockey is pretty good.

Lol, I thought the same thing! And then I thought, "am I being petty?". Thank you for meeting my smallness

If the NHL can actually pull this off I will have to give Bettman and the PA a ton of credit.

Absolutely.

No beers. Just did a few bowls (death bubba and orange crush).

Did brunch of eggs, waffles and bacon after a nice long run this morning. GF is messing around in the garden. I'll cut the grass after the game.

Hockey in summer ain't too bad. 👍

Would make the "atmosphere" a bit more "real". Should be more advantage to being the home team.

Just got in, I see it’s 4-1 Hawks, Oil playing bad? Lordy must be out on the ledge

Ribs are in the oven. I try not to crack a beer before 3 but today is a special occasion.
I'll do the lawn tomorrow before my boy Torts sicks his team on those pillow-biters from Toronto.

If they're trying to add realism, they absolutely should try to replicate home ice "advantage."

Seems like a no-brainer until the one guy in the meeting goes, "I think we should try to be equal to both teams." Shut up Doug, no one care what you think!

We did dill pickles this morning over at a friends place, 40 lbs, both our families should be good for the year now.

Bettman has a hat trick for the Hawks.

Of course

I’d say seeing grown men female dog at each other for pages and pages is what’s driving people away.

Really like to see the Hawks lose and McDavid & Draisaitl have some success. Arguably the best two players in the league/world.

Oh my, I see I’ve missed a bit of drama again.
