Viewing audience and players.

Why is ther a freaking public address announcer? Who’s he trying to appeal to by saying “Iiiiiiiiiiit’s a Subway Blackhawks Poweeeeeeer Play”!

He's appealing to the sponsors plain and simple. We're all watching it on TV, somebody is paying for it.

I know, but you can barely hear him, as he’s talking over the play by play guy. If it was important for the home viewing audience it should be piped into the broadcast feed at a pause in the action.

This game is crazy.

Damn. McDavid came to play.

Surprisingly versatile.

Thx Carol. Some of you aren’t paying attention. Sutter played well as did Myers. Worst player was clearly Gaudette.

Lot of bad performances. But myers and Ferland at least showed some heart and don’t deserve the criticism. Bench gaudette. Sutter 3 C and virtanen in. (frank) the wild

I can live with this. I might even add Mac for Beagle. Let Motte be 4C. Also Miller at C for double shifts. EP also with Ferland might be a good idea to have his back.

3 balanced lines is needed worth a try

Ferland EP Boeser
Toffoli Miller JV
Pearson Bo Roussel
Motte Sutter MacEwen

It’s an unusual look but can change up in game as needed.

That could work.....but the Defence?

How did Markstrom not know a penalty was being called against the Wild and who sent out an extra player when the goalie is still in the net?
Tells me that the goalie isn't dialed in and someone behind the bench wasn't either.
Petterson was picking himself off the ice a lot and Gaudette isn't suited as a 3rd line centre.IMO
Zacmac, Jake and even Loui and Graovac have to be considered to get into the lineup.
As does a bruiser defenseman which this team doesn't have, anywhere in the system.
No longer is this team 3 years away from being 3 years away, they are just 3 years away.
Still seen some encouraging signs throughout the game, which I pvr'd.
Like most, I didn't think several players played at their best, but it was what I expected against a team that is solid defensively and aggressive, which the Canucks are neither of, yet.

Oil!!



Bye!!

Needs to be addressed over the next couple seasons. Unfortunately, Edler is the only physical defenseman this team has.
Keeping my fingers crossed that Jett Woo turns out to be the all-situations, physical defenseman this team will need for the future.
It is only one game of this thingy, so let's see how they adapt tonight.

He, like the Wild player that was forechecking and went to tag up, thought it was a delayed offside.

I wasn't paying attention to the official that was making the call, but I doubt it was a linesman with his arm up in the air to call a delayed penalty.
